quest_globals table - id field

There is no consequence... unless you accidentally write scripts that will have an NPC modify globals that it shouldn't. It is more good programming practice. Kind of like deciding whether or not a variable should be global or not. Why make it global if it doesn't have to be? If you do make it global, you run the risk of the variable being changed by something that it shouldn't be able to change it. If you don't make it global, you are safe.

Slighter higher CPU usage is the consequence because then you'll have every NPC in the game iterating through your globals to see if they can use one. I don't recommend it.
