    Think they should’ve given Samus a voice in this if they’re gonna integrate talkative NPCs this much, but they were probably too chicken to do it after what happened with Other M

    And coming up with lines and a personality for Samus would be a lot of work in itself so I get why they took the easy route (kinda similar to how coming up with a cohesive narrative for an adventure mode in Smash Ultimate would’ve been such a monumental task)

    Just goes against what I think the series is all about: lonely sense of crushing isolation as you explore alien worlds

    Her being mute should be a non issue cause she's not supposed to f***ing engage with NPCs. Only by email if anything.

    Jesus this is boring

    remember when scanning everything was fascinating and you'd get interesting lore, backstory to the environment youre exploring, useful information this is bullshit

    They do but not from cutscenes or your typical methods... you learn it from scanning computers, tablets and relics and s***.

    When you’re driving in the desert he’ll sometimes give you a tip but he doesn’t talk much and the tips are obvious stuff so he doesn’t really spoil anything. You can turn off his voice too and ignore the tips, that’s what I’m doing on my hard mode playthrough
