Ah, ok.
I'd be COMPLETELY against that.
I'd imagine "companions going on on their own doing things" when I don't want them to something that would turn into a complete mess rather quickly.
Also, something that would directly work against the "better party/formation controls" I've been campaigning for months.

I was actually thinking about you when I made this post, hence saying it’s not for everyone’s play style. I’m sure some people would try it and love having more independent companions, find it innovative for a BG game and a shade closer to ‘D&D'. Those who prefer to be in complete control of every single action of the entire party can turn it off. I think options are good. Some people want story mode because they don’t care for combat, I’m sure some would like smart companions because they grow bored with micromanagement.
