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.

He's right, and the fact that you can't refute his argument and instead started seething proves it.

There 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

very true
>triggers

I have been playing games for longer than you have been alive.
>>
>>3882799

You 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.

>the internet is srs bizness
i 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.

Both 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.

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.

That's perfect for you since they're supposed to be self-inserts
