No, they're not "nuances", they're "control mechanisms" to lock other players out of doing something you don't like. My solution was far simpler: I didn't use LRs until I absolutely had to. In so doing, I missed a lot of potential story beats for the companions, and character development for myself, because I missed dream sequences with the tadpole. Where's your solution for this issue? It doesn't exist. Note that the comps issue can be dealt with in other ways, but the tadpole sequences are dreams.
