I actually tend to like non-silent protagonists better, although naming is always a bonus. The whole "blank-slate-no-personality" thing is kind of... I mean, I can understand it in some games, like Pokemon and Harvest Moon, where it works really well, but in others, ahhhh. I think that the whole Persona series would be so much better if your protagonist actually had some semblence of a personality.

Oh well. You can't have everything~~!

Yes, this too. This would be better, so much better. One of the reasons I liked DA2 more than the first one. Hawke actually spoke and had some semblance of a personality instead of just choosing dialogue options on a screen and not saying anything. Also the reason why i like ME so much.

Shep's an awesome character that you get to make and Shepards behavior/actions to things depends on how you've reacted in the past.

See, if [i]all[/i] games followed Biowares example with how they made their main protaganist, it would be so much better.
just, the only thing though. Don't do what they did with ME3, though that was still mostly EA's fault, i think.

But yeah, non-silent protagonists are always a good thing, I think.

Games like Legend of Zelda, Harvest Moon, and games like that though work well.

Although, it'd be kinda funny for Link to finally have a voice xD
