Many a hero has a past so chequered only a convenient spot of memory loss can hide their darkest secret from you, the player, while keeping them, the protagonist, from spending a whole game wracked with guilt.

According to Ribot's Law of retrograde amnesia, amnesiacs are more likely to lose recent memories while holding on to much older ones. This hypothesis is borne out by our case studies above, though it can't explain how those recent memories are always restored at the exact moment of maximum dramatic impact.
Furthermore, it can't account for their diverse and exciting array of causes of amnesia, which include memory loss elixirs, Jedi mind tricks and interdimensional travel. Nice one, medical science.
