I wanted to get this, but considering that I haven't completed Thief/Thief II, I think I'll get those instead and save some money.
He's never been THAT supportive of the Half-Life series. And he didn't say they were bad, just poorly implemented in this case.TheIronRuler said:Sure, praise HL2 as the second coming of christ, but talk about how silent protagonists are bad.
You couldn't find anything bad to say, did you?
Ever considered that's because 80% of voiced protagonists suck or are samey?OuendanCyrus said:I rather have a silent protagonist that someone who never shuts up, I always end up hating about 80% of voiced protagonists.
It's true, I thought he would have liked it. A lot. Unfortunately I haven't played it and I won't be able to for a while, but after watching Harvey Smith, Raphael Colantonio and all the others declare and express all the undiluted passion, thought, talent and effort to make Dishonored, seeing all that "unrewarded" by Yahtzee (that I respect very very much, he's also the one who introduced me to Thief) leaves me kind of... empty.Earthfield said:Didn't expect him to be so disappointed with it.
Well, I better try it for myself before judging.
Those guys don't count. I got the clean hands achievement easily.C117 said:And unlike Yahtzee, I strived for the no-kill achievment from beginning to end, and almost thought I made it. I never killed anyone on the missions, I disposed of all my targets nonlethaly, and I even shot that duelist guy with a sleep dart in the noggin'. But when I finished, I didn't get the achievment.
And then it hit me. I had killed two individuals. In fact, it was the first two individuals I encountered in the whole game. It was in the tutorial, and the game basically said "waste their asses".
I felt pretty drained after that...
Yeah but they aren't are they? I can't think 'what would *I* do in this situation?' because there is no way I can empathise with someone who runs around stabbing people and using his magical powers in a steampunk world. That is not a situation I will ever be in. But maybe if the character had some kind of personality of their own I could at least understand their motivations.Walter Byers said:Silent protagonists are a reflection of the person playing them. If your silent protagonists has no personality...In Search of Username said:You were expecting personality in a game published by Bethesda? Come on, now. And yeah, silent protagonists are fucking stupid. Maybe I'm just terrible at projecting myself on the character, but I honestly always think of silent protagonists as having absolutely no personality at all.
