I understand that people do it to try to be immersive, but "All it does is remind me that the player is there and in control" she said with an annoyed tone... <--ugh
I admit that this confuses me a bit. While it's certainly not always necessary, I don't see how else you are supposed to convey an important detail like that regarding your character's reaction. For instance...
Arrogant Swordsman:
You can go ahead and leave now. I have no more need of you.
Bumbling Acquaintance:
W-Wait..... what? You want me to leave?
In the case of the acquaintance's response, how are you supposed to tell if the person meant the statement to have been delivered with surprise while stuttering anxiously... or if they meant for it to be spoken with disbelief and frustration?
