Sorry quoting for me is messed up at work. Hopefully you see this...In Search of Username: said: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.
I'll agree with you for this particular silent protagonist. Silent protagonists in general is a different story.
