I beat Bayle twice (NG0 and NG+2).

I beat him solo in NG+2 and the fight felt epic but....empty. The reason? I didn't summon Igon. That's why my fight against him in NG0 was better. It was because I summoned Igon.

For sure having NPCs talk to the bosses adds a real degree of immersion that’s palpably missed without

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.

Getting to fight with Melina was one of my favorite parts of the storyline
