Fiend warlock player did not like learning how I used his minor backstory. (He actually loved it.)
He knew he needed to save a tree. He didn't know he was the one to burn it, nor that he did so because it was a source of power to his mother, who was a night hag.
So much fun.
He saved the tree and even managed to change his Patron, but is too scared to confront his mother again.
Seriously this opens up so much creativity for the DM.
"This person seems familiar to you, but you're not sure why."
"You think you've been here before, but you're not sure when."
"Being on a ship feels like home, but you have no memories of ever being on a ship."
"Upon seeing the ruins of the village you find yourself overcome with sorrow, you feel like you've lost something important but you don't know what."
Part of the adventure can be a quest to reunite them with their lost memories.
Yuuuup.
