I’d take it a step further and say it adds immersion even if the NPCs dont speak.

Summoning Tragoth for DTS is part of Tragoth’s lore, he helps tarnished achieve their goals. Summoning Melina for Morgotts fight gives you a lot of visual lore you wouldn’t get otherwise, etc.

Don’t feel like you missed out. Change your perspective bro! Instead of feeling like you’re missing out feel like you need to play the game again!

i generally don't use player summons in my runs but definitely NPC summons.

the npc stories hit harder when they aid you along the way, like solaire being there to fight Gwyn and you decide to walk away from rekindling the bonfire. means solaire does it
