Talking about or practicing dark magic openly in this world is usually a short one way trip to finding yourself executed or taken in by inquisitors for questioning and is a very taboo talking point.
Taking in a lycanthrope, Slimer girl, even the MC himself, his mother knows EVERYTHING, never even bats an eye, when a new plot twist opens up, the MC is just...bbbbbut...iiiii cccan eeeexxplain and leaves it at that after Regina just passes it off...uuhh OK...uuhh nope nothing more to see here I guess uuuhuh (Spoken as GOOFY would say it).
They talk freely within Regina's house ONLY when the script requires it (As I mentioned before it would be much better to CONTINUE that freedom of speech within her house)
Again, Regina isn't surprised at a single thing here and even has a(some) spy(s) to look after things when she can't physically be there (granted these things aren't known by the MC).
The MC is a blind, unobservant idiot, for KNOWING there is someting wrong, mentioning it to US or in his head a half dozen times and STILL not acting on them, no questions, no choices, no development in that direction at all.
The lack of story, choices, or dialog based solely on what the Inquisitors might do, seems mighty lackluster at this point, don't you think?
Even if they are shoved into the plot, causing a few disturbances, we as an audience can confidently see how THAT narrative will inevitably play out.
Lol, there are many within the city walls that know about the MC very well, yet the Inquisitors appear to be completely oblivious to everything that has transpired, we cant exactly have one or more of this group that eliminates ANYTHING they fear or do not understand, be aware of the MC and his other half, I wouldn't exactly tremble at a fearmongering, zealot group like that..about as much as I wouldn't fear the West Baptist Church in America...MURRICAH I should say.
Lastly, the reason I commented so much on this is that I CARE about this story, how it has developed and improved since the first time I played it, including now, when I started from the beginning.
I am not sitting here complaining to hear myself talk, nor am I aimlessly bleating like a stranded goat, I am openly speaking my mind, perhaps bringing things to light that weren't obvious from a different vantage or point of view.
So, while I want to depict the scale of Novaras and Alderay as a whole more to give a sense of "Holy shit, this place is huge" it has to always come with me looking at a cost sheet rn. This situation is improving for us but, it is what it is.
