You said "Players are less likely to out and out ignore something if they had to make a check for it."
The DM is the one who calls for checks, so this has the look of the DM caring about whether the players have their characters act deceived, persuaded, or intimidated by a fellow PC.
Why care about that at all as DM?
Because if players are not going to role play at all.. There are a TON of better games to be playing.
If you want Fantasy without role playing go play Skyrim or World of Warcraft. MUCH BETTER games if you don't want to role play.
Really all tabletop rpg's have over those other games is role playing. You can't log onto World of Warcraft and role play with anyone else. Even on video games with role playing servers....it just doesn't happen.
I have actually said this to players. Seriously, if your not here to role play at all, stop showing up. Go play w.o.w. with me at night or grab Skrim it's a awesome game. Jut do something else.....I would rather not have you at my table.
