Imagine it's WW II, and instead of a paladin you have an Allies soldier. Instead of a d-elf you have a Nazi soldier. What's the likelihood of the Allies soldier trying to convince the Nazi to denounce his evil ways instead of just shooting him?

That's true to an extent. RP between foes is usually fairly limited. If it happens, it happens over tells or in some place where they can't attack each other (e.g. a protected city with a tribunal on duty). But that's realistic, and this is one of the best things about CF's roleplay.
