All of the life paths are generally the same in terms of who/what you fight. They primarily affect the opening scene of the game (which are all very different) and what conversion options you have throughout the game (which in turn can lead to options that don’t involve fighting).
That said, pick any life path you want and in a majority of dialogues there’s a skip-button to fast forward. The dialogue options that advance the quest/story are highlighted for you in yellow so just pick any one of those. You do run the risk of missing out on some different story outcomes but that’s probably fine based on what you said. There will be times where dialogue cannot be skipped, it’s too integral to the story so just power through it.
However, after you hit a certain point in the game (when you are given a quest called “Nocturn Op55N”) there will be a lot of freedom and fighting from doing the side quests which have much less dialogue than the main quest lines. You’ll definitely love that point in the game.
Also, Corpos don’t fight any more robots than nomad or street sadly. As you play the game you’ll see how the stories converge. I suspect that CDPR ran out of time when trying to make each life path different.
Lastly, if you enjoy the game enough to purchase the Phantom Library DLC, that expansion is like 70% dialogue but it’s pretty amazing fighting too (and some robot fights).
It’s really a great game either way though, enjoy it however you want.
