Question about STATS and Dialog Options

So I've noticed that certain dialog options only appear if you have a high enough related stat (18 INT, etc.)
So for someone like me who wants to have as many dialog options as possible, does that mean that I'd basically need to CTRL+8 all my stats to 18 to ensure the most options appearing?

By @Jalily "Charisma isn't checked directly in dialogues; rather, the reaction modifiers from your speaker's Charisma and your reputation are added together to determine how well a given character reacts to you. Moving from 18 to 19 Charisma gives you an additional +3 to your total, the same as moving from 9 reputation to 18. You also get an additional +1 for each Charisma point over 19. If you're playing a mid- to low-reputation game, this can be very useful for getting the best rewards from NPCs with reaction-dependent scripting."

If you ever want spoilers, check examples in that thread and also here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/30864/are-there-any-charisma-based-dialogue-lines-in-bg-1-and-2
But there're instances in BG2 and ToB, when Wisdom and Intellect also influence dialogues.

But remember, that you don't need only charname to speak to other characters. You can very much ask your NPC to do it. And their scores will be taken into consideration.
Just don't forget to make the NPC with high stats your party leader (the top spot).
Some of us are playing this game again and again after 10 or 15 years from our first time. And still enjoy it and find it not boring.
There is a real chance that also you will play it more then a single time, so don't worry, no important dialog option will be skipped also with sub optimal INT or WIS, they are important for other reasons, that I will not spoil here, and even so there are workarounds unless you want to dual into mage or cleric.
Choosing a different character as party leader is a good way to deal with your problem, another way is
Not really a spoiler, but if you want a really absolutely no spoiler answer don't open it.
