How much dialogue do you want to see in future games? (lemm.ee)

I didn't mind the NPCs in Corruption as much as others, but I do prefer the sparse characterization of U-Mos and Quiet Robe.

Samus herself has had a lot of range: talkative in other M, talkative but unvoiced in Fusion, silent in the classic 2D games, silent but with lots of character in her body language in the Prime Trilogy & Samus returns, and talking just a bit in Dread (and screaming lol).

My ideal combo would be U-Mos style NPCs and a Samus that talks just a smidge more than in Dread.

What do you think?

I don't mind a Samus that talks and has personality, but other M was hot garbage. You have to get her personality right, and it's not like there is only one single right way to portray her, but feeling the mommy feels just is not it.

A woman who has had a whole lifetime of decisions and knows who she is does not look longingly at a distress beacon triggered by it being called a baby's cry.

Like... No. No. She also doesn't just refuse to use weapons when they're needed because she's told not to.

If she gets a personality it just needs to be better than that.
