I assume you watch Freeman's Mind?Dfskelleton said:This could be a brilliant step forward or the bane of the game depending on how this is executed.
However, I must add that I had a lot more fun with Bioshock 2 when I played through the second time, except giving Delta a personality. He was some bizzare chimera of Andy Griffith and the generic white supremacist, except instead of being a white supremacist, he was a Big Daddy supremacist.
It actually got to the point where I sounded like freaking SHODAN, going on about "The pathetic limitations of flesh" and whatnot.
See this is what's amusing about Silent Protagonists. You can do goofy crap like this.
I love silent protagonists, but at the same time I'm too meta to come up with a proper personality for anyone of my characters. I tried playing my Dark Souls character as a merciless Darkwraith bastard and still faltered when I found Quelaag's Sister.
Plus, it gets strained at times. Artyom from Metro 2033 only speaks on loading screens, despite the opportunities for conversation in the gameplay. And Nathan Hale from Resistance spoke too much to be silent, but too little to be a real characterised character.
