This is seeming like less and less of a PB game the more I hear. Well, poop. :/

That aspect didn't bother me personally. The attitudes of various people towards you are quest/decision based, rather than AI based, which obviously made their storytelling job easier. They could still have had the islander/inquisition choice made for you based on how much you'd pissed off either faction, by stealing their stuff or tweaking their nose-hairs - that would have been good

In my case I find the simulation and setting real enough that I tend not to want to antagonise people I meet. I generally don't rob or harass them unless they're hostile to me, and that seems to work out fine. I didn't feel Moriendor's annoyances.
