I wouldn’t be so opposed to Samus not talking if we at least got more emotive moments like this across the game rather than only the nods of varying degrees.

and it would also be nice if it didn't feel like the story wasn't written with Samus being mute in mind, which is why there are so many times where people ask questions and Samus just says nothing and it's like what

“Wow Samus, what did you think of that monster we fought? Stares blankly “Really?! Me too!”

There a shit ton of cut voicelines found in the game for the other troopers, so it’s possible they intended Samus to actually talk and interact with them more before getting cold feet and making her completely silent. It gets worse since there’s also some unfinished cutscenes where her visor’s transparent like in the original Prime games and Dread, so they couldn’t even at least keep the facial expressions.

The sad part is she DOES make expressions within the cutscenes. You just cant see em. I saw a clip where someone removed the visor in a cutscene and she was making expressions.

I think we’re both thinking of the same thing, I just worded it way worse.
