So: character gets hassled by guy. Goes into house. Has to kill guy, given no choice when guy goes mad. Gets asked to kill someone by evil demon-god. Won't do it ever, character is a good guy. Player gets annoyed by quest in UI, which character knows nothing about, what with being a virtual character. Player makes character do quest even though it's out-of-character-for-character. Player complains that character is dumb.
Yes, it is not good that there is so much 'do it or don't', and not so much 'do it this way, that way, or just kill them all'. That is a legitimate complaint. I don't think 'I could do it or not, and couldn't help choosing to do it when I had the choice not to' is quite so reasonable as a point to moan about.
