How about a setting where emotions are part of the soul but the body can keep memories?
So a zombie like that could recite stuff and respond, but would otherwise be instinct/reflex driven since there’s nothing in it that makes it want stuff, it just looks for food. It wouldn’t react to anything you say unless you convince it that it has to listen to get fed
Sure anyone could make any setting. If the creator explicitly make that split, then that’s how it is. I just don’t think most settings intentionally make such a split.
