That is something i allready adressed in other topic ...
Companions (aka origin characters) should have either limited options, so they dont do things they totally disagree with ... or they should have those options conditioned with some introspectional diceroll to show their internal struggle between doing the right (or wrong respectively) thing and their own moral compas (simmilar as we have seen in first gameplay video, wheren Astartion rolled Wisdom against himself).
Right now, when you will be playing as Shadowhearth, you can hate Githyanki so hard, so you will agree in everything, help in any way, and finaly shag Lae'zel ...
Wich simply dont seem right. :-/
As for brand ... yes, you should be able to brand everyone (once aggain conditioned with some persuation roll, especialy for those who disagree), if not with gut, then in camp when you stole that branding iron.
