From having played a character like this, and seen others... This approach can work for opponents who haven't definitely decided to fight. It doesn't work for fights that are underway, unless the PCs are definitely winning, and offer something preferable to defeat to their opponents.

Barring actual mind control, you can't talk to people who simply aren't interested in talking.
