Are silent, impersonal heroes really better, or do you prefer to play the role of someone more alive?
To this day, not even once I could associate myself with the silent protagonist in games with story heavy. In some cases, there are some questions which require answer from players and those are best chances to link myself with the protagonist. However, due to story heavy structure, the link is broken, multiple times thanks to protagonist acting on his own against my will.
TLDR silent protagonists just won't work with me. I prefer playing as someone more alive.
