I can't tell you how many people on the Morrowind forums back in the day were like "I killed the lord of the country way back... am I screwed now with mission X? THAT'S BULLSHIT!"

I think a fine line has to be drawn. Ultimately how do you know if it is a important character. Especially with huge games like Oblivion or GTA IV. I mean that's great if you get a message after the fact but that would then entail frequent saves. I also play a shitload of games so I really don't playthrough games multiple times so if I killed someone an hour into the game and then 15 hours later I can't further the story I would be pissed.
