Disagree, if you are annoyed by something, you will probably look for a way to ease your annoyance, like looking in the options menu, or maybe even making a forum thread about it, searching for a mod etc...
But if you don't know something is missing, you will probably not look for it, and may miss out on something that would have heightened your experience.

Well, I disagree with your disagreement. If something is potentially annoying as this very thread (and a number of BG3 patch 5 streams) are testament to, then better go with the MODERATE version rather that going all out. That's just common sense. Contrary to what you claim, this will only be more true the more modular this game becomes in terms of optional settings. Arguing that inconveniencing the player is good design because it forces him/her to investigate settings to find hidden options that enhances the experience is sheer nonsense.
I just explained to you why you can't do that. You have to show people that something exists, if they don't like it they can always have it removed. If they don't know it exists, they wont look for it, Doing it your way would be a very assholeish move to the people that like having verbal companions.
Arguing that it is better that a player has to look up a setting he doesn't even realize he is missing is just sheer nonsense!


Or maybe a player should be introduced to a tutorial section properly by developers especially whenever they put new things on their products instead of making their product a visual mess to understand. Is it incompetence of developers, is it because of EA, is it possessed people like you? I don't know. What I know is I bought this game to have fun like most buyers did, not to dwell into research processes to utilize it properly.
