I ABSOLUTELY agree. I almost had specific act 2 encounters ruined by this because the game kept selecting my 10 cha Barbarian Tav (I've made Gale/Astarion my faces depending on the scenario) and had to reload before the encounters SEVERAL times to get the game to FINALLY have one of those two be the faces for those pivotal conversations. Act 2 was already somewhat frustrating enough, this made it even MORE frustrating.

I don't want to feel pigeonholed into playing charisma characters bc my STR based martial tavs with int and cha as my dump stats are always forced to the forefront.
