Since you are the only person who's not(for some reason) angrily thrashing at someone just speaking in a forum and being a buffoon...I will answer you and ignore the other angry, frail masculinity guy.Well that is the biggest appeal of the VN with a single MC. Taking the role of said MC and shaping the story. (As in any game with a role playing facet which often include character creation aswell to better emerse in your character. Fallout etc.)
It is the difference between reading a book / watching a movie or series about character.
As I said that would be objected to. That is information not wanted and if not given not existent (as in neither the MC nor the player knows that fact and therefore it might as well not had happened)
I get that, but the whole problem with what you said is, precisely, what you said; If you are not told about it, you will never know about it, and what does the MOST in any storybuilding in any place, are character relationships. I don't mean amorous ones, but you're acting like relationships could never exist before you existed in this game, and that is simply untrue and very pedantic for a game.
It's not the same if a character has an old friend she doesn't get along with for some reason, or if they were a couple a long time ago and now the girl refuses to talk to the guy for their breakup. Sometimes it's necessary to have storybuilding establish the world existed before you did, with all it's "implications", any work that does not do this, is bad in regards of any storybuilding it does.
Kratos's wife doesn't appear in the whole GoW game, but the whole game revolves around taking her ashes to the mountaintop. Yes, there are events in the way(Events, that different characters with different relationships create), and it's what makes the game so good story-wise.
