The rest? It's all relevant. It's all building on past events and toward future stories. Even the hide and seek with the Doman kids which helped establish the kind of ruthless environment they came from (the life or death hiding obfuscated as a game for the benefit of the children) several years before we're actually headed there.
I think what Aurelius means is that this background information needs to be delivered through other means, either through side story quests or implicit throughout the currently relevant events.
