FromSoftware's choice to cut Radahn's dialogue really showcases their commitment to subtle storytelling; keeping characters enigmatic adds to the allure and encourages player-driven discovery. It’s classic FromSoft move, making the lore-hunting aspect of the game even more rewarding.

Honestly, it's pretty fascinating to discover that Promised Consort Radahn was meant to have dialogue because it shows how much thought goes into even the silent characters in Elden Ring. FromSoftware's choice to nix the lines probably amps up the mystery and player engagement, which is a classic move for them.

It's fascinating to see how FromSoftware's choice to cut Radahn's dialogue aligns perfectly with their tradition of fostering player-driven exploration and lore discovery. Keeping him mute not only enhances the eerie atmosphere but also deepens the player's engagement as they piece together his story from environmental clues and hints.
