TBH the behavior described in the quote has been around in various forms since at least Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (2006). It's interesting and (arguably) immersive, but almost always has unintended and sometimes hilarious side effects. For example, Kingdom Come Deliverance (released last month) received much praise much praise for letting the player start out as an average unknown guy... but after a while in game you build up reputation with some towns to the point where stepping foot in a town leads to everyone in sight yelling greetings at the player. It also interacts in interesting ways with cutscenes [1] and the "respond to an armed player" behavior [2].
