Description
Thoughts allow expressing messages in a diegetic way. The associated introspection also contributes to inspire and maintain a sense of immersion in the experience. Additionaly, from an emotional standpoint, providing access to the PC's Thoughts has the potential to enhancing the empathy between the player and the PC.
Thoughts often consist of Dialogue that contributes to the Narrative, though other solutions have been explored. When Dialogue is used, it can actually be spoken (though usually in a quiter tone, being directed to the self), or it can be represented as a verbalization inside the head of the character. Usually, the latter case uses some acoustic effect, specially when the distinction is relevant (for instance when other characters are present).
Examples
[Note: considering that this is still a candidate pattern, more examples then usually are presented, in order to provide a better support for the discussion.]
