You didn't, but many of the people in comments you referred to (about drama) did. Because for a lot of people on this site, drama means exactly that.
And with the games current pace, that could end up a problem. This is observable in many games (and novels, comics, really any medium) that have "early gets". People start to get sick of seeing them because they are more interested in "pursuit" and because their personalities get subsumed into the MC and they stop standing out. This isn't universal opinion, certainly, but it is one that tends to manifest into character polls and discussion forums.
And again, it's not just about "big drama". It's character moments in general. It's about the things that make them who they are. From simple moments like finding a stray animal, to achieving personal goals.
