What are examples of non-silent protagonists done right? I'd say Planescape: Torment maybe.
Nah, having your protagonist be a non-character is lazy and OP is a faggot.
>>3881354You are a full retard and were born in a year starting with the number two.
>>3881372Holy shit you're mad, that's all it took to wound your fragile ego?
>>3881374Pathetic.
>>3881374>say something retarded>get called retarded>run recarded_jungus.exestay on your containment board, lilith.
>>3881387>lilith>never heard this before>understand it immediatelyfuckin' HA
>>3881387>starts obsessing over trannies out of nowhereYou sure do like thinking about them.
>>3881372He's right, and the fact that you can't refute his argument and instead started seething proves it.
>>3880957>>3881041the Player Character, storyfag nu-gamers
>>3881473Hiro Protagonist is probably older than you.
>>3880950>it's a plot point and they're not actually silentkino
>>3881481oh, you were talking about snow crash, that garbage book? non-gamer for real.
>>3881354>>3881473There are so many characters from iconic videogame series that have silent protagonists (read: player characters) that are decidedly, the protagonists of the narrative that the videogame presents. I have no idea why this triggers you.
>>3882793>have*are
>>3882793>I have no ideavery true>triggersyou kids are still doing that shit? i shit on your thread cause it sucks, stop being "triggered".
>>3881554I have been playing games for longer than you have been alive.
>>3882799so?i was born in 1980.i first played an rpg in 1986.i read 1/4 of snow crash in 2002 before dropping it.
>>3882802You are not 45, because no 45 year old human being spends their time on /vrpg/ sperging about how other anons are "non-gamers". You are a zoomer LARPing.
>>3882901>the internet is srs biznessi am very much 45 and i'm not alone on this old ass site. your generation will never understand mine. this issue is in the composition of your identity.
>protagonist is silent>every other character cant stop praising you and sucking you off>every other character is strangely talkative when they are around you specifically and will confide in you about their deepest secrets unprompted even though you only ever muster one sentence responses at best>protagonist makes decisions on his own and has a defined backstory defeating the point of being a silent self-insert
>>3884043>protagonist is silent>every other character cant stop praising you and sucking you off>every other character is strangely talkative when they are around you specifically and will confide in you about their deepest secrets unprompted even though you only ever muster one sentence responses at bestBoth of these are 100% realistic outcomes provided a person is silent and possessing a good attitude. People will flock to anyone who listens to them and lets them talk as much as they want. Its reward feedback loop could probably compete with a social media addiction, which is saying something.
>>3881300>What are examples of non-silent protagonists done right?Most of them, since silent protags instantly become shit and retarded the instant you have the camera zoom in on your character during dialoges, other characters have to speak for you, your character is supposed to do stuff during cutscenes, etc.Silent protags come across as subhuman braindead autists.
>>3884105>Silent protags come across as subhuman braindead autists.That's perfect for you since they're supposed to be self-inserts
