Lord of the depths
what do you want to roleplay?
not all charctera would use persuasion to get their way. As in life, it gets you further in civilization.
but I don’t want my hypothetical mad dog barbarian to discuss options during high tea. I imagine him breaking things with his bear hands or howling like a beserker to make someone retreat.
intimidate is a discreet skill with flavor. If you want to leave threats with implication and measured language, you can do that too.
for my blade pact warlocks, I like persuasion or deception to be paires with intimidate.
5e skills are so easy to choose having both is not a big issue.
