Does diplomacy, bluff, and intimidate have any real purpose in the game? I'm almost done it and i haven't found much of a difference.

It sure made a difference for my Paladin. I don't have any clear examples, but I know that those abilities are implemented into the game.

Yes, they affect which dialogue options are available. Also the results of some quests are different (rewards).

But dont waste your time with them if you are not a paladin or bard.

Diplomacy: Good NPC's will be a LOT easier to talk to to get information (even some quest realted) and thank you more (rewards). Intimidation/bluff: Evil NPC's will spill a lot of information before you kill them and possibly loose morale quicker in battle. Being skilled in diplomacy might even help you avoid confrontation (In RPG's, that is...)
I think all of these skills will get you better prices in shops as well. However they're not essential, but adds variety to the storyline. So if you're a "power-gamer" forget about it. Other factors are: High intelligence and wisdom scores will also give you more dialogue options. High charisma will make people approach you in a less hostile manner and reduce prices. Clear examples: None that I can remember - I might just have made my entire reply redundant here
