paul_Harkonen:
Unless the text has been changed from the beta (I haven't bothered to update yet, even though I should) then it is not clear on that page that Choice = NPC.
The text says if you empty your refresh or fulfill all the musts then "he becomes full Faerie, never to be mortal again and fully subject to the will of the Faerie Courts." This does not mean they are necessarily NPCs. There are Wyld Fae that maintain independence from the courts, and individuals in the courts that also maintain a degree of independence, even though they are somewhat subject to the whims of the Queens.
luminos:
Its not the fact that he would be tied to the Faerie Courts that would make him an NPC. Its the fact that he would no longer be mortal, and would thus no longer have free will.
Edit: Although I suppose it just depends on how your group is comfortable playing it.

While people got this right, there is the fact that you get to design your Faerie parent (with GM approval). If your father was, say, a mighty Summer Court Ogre knight, who, being greater than his brethren, had Supernatural Strength instead of merely Inhuman, you might inherit that Strength, and could thus buy it despite most ogres not possessing it.

I don't see anything that looks like "becomes an NPC" on that page. However, the page before says "often becoming an NPC as his power costs rise to exceed his refresh", which suggests that the usual rules for crossing the line into NPCdom apply.
I'm also not entirely convinced that no fey have free will. The Wyldfae seem to have some element of it, in that they can choose between Summer and Winter, and Harry scrupulously avoided using compulsions on Toot (Morgan tried to come down on him about it - sure, he was looking for any excuse, but he seemed to think he might have had a case).
