Nuvendil said: 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.
