Bethesda didn't want to make a proper CRPG with actual dialogue trees and speech checks so this is what they came up with instead

Even making random townspeople like you by impressing them with massive farts in Fable makes more sense

There's not even any point to it most of the time, it's not like you need NPCs to have a high opinion of you

Its pretty vital, alot of information about quests and locations won't be divulged unless the NPC has a high opinion of you. But its also completely trivialised by being able to bribe everyone to achieve the same effect.
