Perhaps I'll only be able to really appreciate this point after checking out how divergent the two paths via all of the various causes and consequences are; then seeing the branching in the story.
But to be honest, I don't think asking for one or two more neutral options at least in key quests is asking for that much given that the first game certainly catered for this position.
I don't underestimate the complexity and cost involved in doing so (additional development time etc) I just think that it would have been more true to the original game's vision and perhaps as JonNik has stated, Geralt's character.
Having said all that, I still haven't completed the game, so I won't be too hasty in making any overall judgements about the role-playing options. My impressions of the game have also brightened a little now that I've hit Vergen.
