Main characters HAVE to be static. A player has to be able to emote themselves through the character - otherwise you're just watching something. You can't play a game where the player is Jack Nance in Eraserhead though I'd love to see the attempt.

Yes, I
am just watching something. The games that I like mostly have pretty strict plot boundaries; I don't have much freedom at all. I
prefer it that way, and that's also probably why I prefer console RPGs over PC ones (though Planescape: Torment and Fallout are great). I don't need my games to be terribly intricate, I don't want them to be my second life where I make my own choices. It's more fun to just follow an interesting story for a couple of hours, with higher level of interactivity than if I were to just watch a movie.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
