The Mute Protagonist

I honestly don't like mute protagonist. Primarily, as most people would agree, they lack personality. I've never been a big fan of the whole [your personality = the character's personality] equation, its just too awkward. That's what they are to me in a nutshell, awkward. What I really wish developers would stop doing though is letting the players name the character in games with voice overs. These days thats practically every game now, from Final Fantasy X to Suikoden V. It's so annoying when the most important person in the game doesn't have a name. Metaphorically speaking, they don't have a name because the other characters never say it during spoken dialogue. It's like 'Hey you, yeah you, the guy who saved the world last night, help me move this box will ya?' That combined with a character who can't talk creates a protagonist who's still nobody no matter what he does.

How ya doing, buddy?
