I absoulety agree If SL doesnt think she has the time or doens't think it necassary then I'd accept that and still appercipte the game but the potential of this idea is massive then we can start answering stuff that we are curious about for example how did Simon and Robin meet or how exactly Riala found both a divine shard and a incbus shard a flashback could help explain that and maybe show how obessed and desperate Riala was to find a shard to deafet the incubus king. Granted SL could just tell us how she did it and tells about how she felt about it but that doesnt have the same impact if we could actully she her struggle to find one.I truly do believe that showing the players events is much more interasting than telling them for example which is more engaging for you. Image we are in a sci-fi setting and aliens are attacking earth In one scenario your in deep space and you get a trassmision from earth saying their under attack there now you know earth is under attack and the descrution is catastrophic vs the other scenrio where your on earth when the aliens attack earth you see the detruction first hand and our charater has to struggle to survive and overcome the event all the while we the player understand the character struggle because we are there to see it.I do believe showing is much more interesting than just telling the player what happen.Thank for your comment any engagement helps this dicussion grow and once again if SL doesnt want to do it i'll understand and accept it I love this game flaskbacks or no flashbacks plus i dont want to sound demanding this is just a idea and i fully expect it to never be implemented and accept that.
