While you're absolutely right here there is a difference between the MC and the Player.Consent and respect between all parties means that if mc doesn't consent its not allowed thats just basic logical reasoning.
We're playing from the MC perspective but it's Mac's consent that matters not the players while a lot of complaints come from the misconception that us as players should be able to dictate it.
The MC is still a character, written by mr Stag, and when something happens it's because he consents, we actually see all of them touching base multiple times to check if everyone is on board with what's happening.
Now, I understand that having more branches, and more chances to input players' preferences would be nice but according to LeStag it would require to much work so he's not inclined to do it. I don't know enough to have an opinion either way on this.
