Well, I wouldn't say that sitting down and talking to your enemies is a desireable roleplay event in all cases. Do you sit down over coffee with the man who murdered your daughter? Sometimes it just doesn't make sense.
Also, Liches are so fantastically powerful compared to almost any other single race/class combo that some of this stuff is only going to happen when someone of Istendil's power level is on the scene. Can you imagine a face-to-face talk between a human anti-paladin and a Sylvan shaman? Unless they were both of the highest grade of roleplayer, there would just be a battle the moment they saw each other in the area.
I think you did an excellent job with Istendil, but I also think that you couldn't have inspired the same level of terror with a human thief.
I was cringing at the number of women "suddenly" declaring their love for you, though. Heh.
