That's true (at least in the beta). But I'm still finding the Raistlin/Lone Wolf combo a lot of fun - it's almost as if Larian is saying "sure, you'll miss out on the dialogue and other advantages of having a companion, but we'll give you a whole new spin on gameplay with a viable 2-member party to make up for it." Again, I can see how some may find it overpowered, but I personally don't see it as game-breaking.
And being single player it harms no one else.
