While I'm posting Nightreign criticism, having the Nightfarers become totally silent and non-emotive when you play them was unironically the worst decision they could have made for the story. Each Nightfarer is a character with a distinct personality, a voice, a manner of doing things, and feelings about what's going on... until the moment where those things are most important. The Remembrances are meant to be where you see the characters develop, but they can't, because as long as you're playing them, they have no thoughts or feelings on anything. They're just John Dark Soul, the player's remote-controlled body.
Recluse reunites with the woman who she raised her child with, whose death she blamed herself for, only to learn that this other woman blames her too, and the child is even more monstrous than she imagined. And she says nothing. She has no response. You get a stale journal entry after the entire scene is over that just... it cannot carry the emotions of the moment with how hard it tries to stick to Dark Souls-y, roundabout, fancy language. This shouldn't be fancy, it shouldn't be stale or sterile or neat, this is a person on an already stressful quest going through what's got to be one of the worst moments of her life! Why is she silent!! WHY IS SHE FUCKING SILENT!!!!!
