I think most of the companions are pretty hard to miss. Even Wyll is kind of a big deal, the game makes it very clear this guy is important. I'm on the fence on this argument. On the one hand, I think this is a good way to incentivize you to explore and talk to people, on the other it might feel a little unfair.
