I feel the OP's dislike of HL2 has nothing to do with the mute protagonist. The game would have added little by having a chatty main character. |
My dislike of HL2 has a lot to do with Gordon Freeman being mute, because I don't like the storytelling, and the storytelling is shaped by him being mute. One specific example is not really worth noticing though, as it is the general principle I am opposed to.
