Others games have done it, including BG 1 and 2 and it does not break anything. And the relationships and choices there are as important if not much more.

People who do that know that the game will be easier.

I hope Larian chose to include it eventually, although it is not something that exists until now in their games.


BG1 and BG2 had far less complexity in the design of the game, along with the ways various things tie together, including decisions you make, approval of companions, etc. Stabbey is completely correct that what other games did are irrelevant, I'd be willing to bet those games also don't carry the complexity that this game contains in regards to the various branches that impact everything around you. Because most don't.
