    If Portalarium can't be bothered to do animations and/or illustrations to portray emotions, you know, something that the Final Fantasy franchise managed to do with sprites on the Super Nintendo, there's not much we can do to help them.

    But at the very least they could use infliction in their dialogue to portray emotion. So yes, bad writing, but that's no excuse to cheapen the experience even more. Omniscient narration is just as bad as a quest marker.

    No one else remember these scenes?

    Things need to change regardless. So the "what we have now doesn't work, so that's COMPLETELY out of the question" argument sounds silly to me.

    While it is a visual medium and they should focus on it as much as possible (especially considering they're doing 3D with a really close camera), if at least the emotion is implied then, yeah, leave it to people's imagination.
