I agree.  In fact, that's something we agreed was important pretty early
on, about the time the dialogue editor was being designed, if I recall
correctly.

Personally, I'd rather not make the player rush through the plot.  Sure,
they can ignore all the NPC's and their lives, and in fact ignore a lot of
side possibilities.  But there should be a believable world for the player
to exist in.
