You don't need a dialogue option for attacking; that's the way other cRPGs like BG1 & 2 did it. You could play "kill them all" without childishly announcing your intent to murder. Just because you don't have to pick that option in WotR doesn't make the writing any better.
... and leaving you without a way to roleplay a psychopathic murderer if someone wants to play one. In other games you could kill anyone, but you just point and click, no roleplay whatsoever. You do not have an option to make a comment before, a snide remark, a made-up reason to start a psychopathic killing spree.
As I said before, it´s a matter of tastes, maybe you do not like it, you are not going to use the murder hobo lines, but someone may. I do not play those options either, but it does not bother me that someone would use those options, that they exist. One man´s trash etc.
I had some players that liked to play like that, you just have to pick an entire group that want to play that way, and give them plenty of cannon fodder. The problem is only if you mix people that like it and people that don´t. When that happens, usually there´s always one or two that despises that way of playing and starts judging, making derisive comments and haughtily thinking they have the ultimate-way-of-how-you-must-play (TM) , so, even the others have harmless fun that way they made them feel uncomfortable for no real reason.
You usually ignore "that guy" (they usually got bored of the -quit having fun the way I do not like!- thing after some sessions) and you give the other players what they want, if the majority agree and they are not messing with the campaign; so I understand why they did that, even though that could cause some backlash.
