I felt like it added to the feeling of actually going places with the other characters instead of it always being "we'll go on ahead, come find us at the other end of the path".

Someone else pointed out in another thread that it probably cuts down on the amount of times you have to talk to the NPCs if you aren't interested in the side chatter, because there's a lot of optional talk that would otherwise have to be placed as a mandatory talking point before you (and more importantly they) move to the next destination.
