In reality, I do have a mouth but I cannot produce a sound.

What I'm referring to is the cutscene at the very start of the new main story quests. The one where you speak to the Crystal Braves dude in the Rising Stones HQ (who appears to have a questionable past with Raubahn).

First, it made me jump to hear a voice-over o_o Wasn't expecting it as it's been a while since I did the previous quests. He goes on about speaking words to my char, fine but, then "I" speak back to him, only I do not speak.... I appear to be a mute and he luckily can read my lips and my vague hand signing.

Not sure why I was so thrown off by this and not like I was expecting my Roe to actually speak back but, it just seemed very, very odd after the NPC was so articulate and it kinda broke the moment for me.
