The timeline for the game is longer than a few weeks. Withers implies that the entire adventure took place "In but a dozen tendays," so four months. The cast is also pretty socially isolated before their adventure. It makes sense that they would care about their only friends' opinions, more than people with big support networks would.
RagnarokCzD, I think you are underestimating the decisions that companions other than Wyll can make. Shadowheart can decide to kill Nightsong, if you have low enough approval with her, and don't do enough things to collect "Nightsong points." If you want to argue that it's a bit too easy to get Shadowheart to spare her, then I would actually agree. That, and the decision for her parents are pretty complicated. There's a video that explains it,
Gale doesn't necessarily leave the crown in the Chiontar, he can decide to give it to Mystra (or obviously try to become a god.) We also have an opportunity to let him decide if he wants to make the shadowlantern or cleanse Balthazar's circle (though I think that's fixed and he will always cleanse it if he's told to decide). The variables for his end of game decision are even more complicated than Shadowheart's, and are described in the video Gale's Hidden Point System Explained
There's tons of threads on Reddit about Gale pursuing or not pursuing godhood when the player thought he would do the opposite. The game obfuscates the mechanisms that cause his decisions very well. Wyll is the opposite. I agree with you that the conversation we have with Wyll should be expanded on, so that we know what he wants. If he's paralyzed because of how his first deal with Mizora went, and he doesn't trust his decision making, the game could make that more explicit, and it would be good characterization.
