Now if you give me a full blown character and have him/her silent, I find that extremely annoying. See Samus in the Prime trilogy; she went from being a well developed character from previous games (and Fusion and which came out at the same bloody time) to being a pair of mechanical trousers. That was lame, especially in the first two which were text based anyway.  They couldn't even be bothered to give her any freaking text?!

The point of Samus's silence in the Prime trilogy was the same as the behind-the-visor perspective; to fully immerse the player. You are Samus, so if she spoke for you, the effect would be ruined.
