Before attempting to fight someone I always roll for initiative (and usually fail)

Try getting some rest so that you can play real-time instead of turn-based.
Rest doesn't help. How the fuck do I gain 20kg (44 lbs) appropriate to my height?
Are you going by BMI? Because that overestimates the ideal weight for tall peeps like yourself.

I have Quickened, Heightened, Empowered Lightning Bolt always memorized and use it whenever someone cuts me off on the road.

I shoot them out of my eyes.

Well in that case
a) it seem we are height bros :salute:
b) I envy you because my beer belly has a built in weight (de)buff
Sorry if you are unable to gain weight at that ratio then I have no idea.

I use dialogue skillchecks the most. By that I mean I try to anticipate whether lying, being charming or a different approach is the most promising way to get the result I want. It's actually quite interesting to see how different tactics work for different people.

But I haven't tried [intimidate]-option very often.

I try to spend those skill points relatively evenly as you don't know for how long any npcs will remain with you (if they even join you)
Also while I'd like to spend my accumulated golds on that one shiny object, I restrain myself cause I can never be too sure if there doesn't come up another more valuable or useful item on which it can be spent on
