What do you guys prefer IF YOU ONLY HAD TO CHOOSE ONE.
1. Main characters that decides what they do for themselves and speak freely.
example: Kratos, Marcus Fenix, Master Chief, Cloud, Ratchet & Clank, Solid Snake, etc
vs
2. Main characters that never speaks for themselves or lets the user talk for them.
example: Link, Ness, Diablo characters, Fallout guy/girl, Crono, Gordan Freeman, Pokemon trainer, etc
I'd go for chose 1. Characters that don't talk makes me feel like the game is unlively.
