I don't have the option to intimidate the first guy and i haven't looted the body or anything
Edit:
Was me being stupid. I needed to complete the first step of the quest and then i followed the quests which opened up more dialogue options

There are plenty of opportunities to meet the requirements for this achievement just playing through the game however I wanted to mention the way I use that gets all 3 in just a few minutes at the very beginning of the game and seem to be guaranteed successes at both persuading and intimidating regardless of Speech skill.
This method requires going through the first 2 Dark Brotherhood quests, Innocence Lost and With Friends Like These...
1. Travel to Windhelm and talk with Aventus Arentino and he'll send you to Riften.
2. At Riften either Persuade, Bribe or Intimidate the gate guard. Persuade and Intimidate options are not guaranteed to work. Once inside you'll be stopped by Maul, Bribe him. Complete Aventus' task and return to him.
3. Sleep in a bed somewhere other than Riften.
4. You'll wake up in a cabin, go through a bit of dialogue and have the option to question 3 people. They each have a Persuade and Intimidate option that seem to have a 100% success rate regardless of Speech skill, though you'll only be able to pick 1 option per person. Once you've used the Persuade and Intimidate options the achievement will unlock.
If there is any way that I can make this solution better please don't hesitate to let me know.

Another early spot you can try is in Whiterun. If you talk to Carlotta Valentia she'll ask you to talk to Mikael inside The Bannered Mare and you'll have the Persuade, Intimidate and Bribe options with him. The only guaranteed success is Bribe so you might want to save first before you talk to him just in case.

For speech level 100 and coins for bribing:
Open console commands with the "~" key
advskill speechcraft 9999999
player.additem f 9999999
Upgrade the right side path of the Speech skill tree, (unlock Bribery, Persuasion, Intimidation)
Input these CCs:
coc WinterholdTheFrozenHearth
resetquest da01 (only necessary if you have already started or completed "The Black Star" Daedric quest)
setstage da01 10
setstage da01 20
Speak to Nelacar - The dialogue option "I'm looking for the Elven mage who studies stars"
Choose the (INTIMIDATE) option, click through his dialogue ("Don't change the subject", "Get to the point")until the quest objective updates
If you wish to also bribe him, exit conversation and type these CCs again
resetquest da01
setstage da01 10
setstage da01 20
Otherwise it is just as simple to get caught pickpocketing or stealing from the market in Whiterun
coc WhiterunOrigin
Get caught stealing by guards until you are able to successfully Persuade and Bribe. They do not always offer both of these dialogue options, so keep trying until you get them.
Although Nelacar offers the Persuade option, I was NOT able to successfully persuade him after 15 or so attempts. It may not be possible but let me know if you have any luck with that.
If you end up failing the intimidate on Nelacar or something else goes wrong, make sure you click through his dialogue fully until the objective updates. Otherwise he will not give you the option to intimidate him again even after resetting the quest data.

How do you upgrade the skill tree? i do not seem to find how this works
By MasterPie917 on 25 Apr 2024 12:31
This can be done quickly in Markarth. Use the following commands:
- player.advskill speechcraft 999999
- player.additem 0000000f 999999
- coc markarthorigin
This guide was translated automatically.
Often during some dialogues the above actions will be available to choose from.

The first time at the entrance to Whiterun - Persuasion.
First time at the entrance to Riften - Bribery.
Dark Brotherhood, wrong honey quest - we go into Honing's meadery and intimidate.
