[QUOTE="Retros_x, post: 9615364, member: 7033171"] I understand that its hard to conceive, but obviously these people without inner monologues are thinking. So the problem is a lack of imagination on your side. Which is completely understandable, if your whole consciousness experiences thoughts only as words. Its hard to wrap your head around how other people actually think. My best explanation is that its like concepts. I just think in concepts for the most time. And I think people with monologue also do it. You know what a government is without having an internal monologue about what a government is. At least I hope that you don't have to do that everytime. Thats how it is for many people without monologue the whole time. You just know, you just think. Its concepts, relations etc. Really hard to describe but maybe that helps. And its the same for DMing. I just imagine and know what the NPCs/Factions are, how they relate to each other, who is antagonistic, who is friendly. There is no monologue telling me this again and again, I just know and act upon it when DMing. Only when I really think about actual speech or write something down (like this enworld post) I hear a inner monologue.
