Good Silent Protagonists

[Fox]

the game giving you wonderful flavor text choices to really give identity to them like Persona, Mass Effect, and Suikoden

In what world does Mass Effect have a silent protagonist? xD

I actually felt like Shulk would have been more likable as one in Xenoblade itself because he's honestly the most boring member of the cast despite the twists that connect him to the plot

I shudder to think how the most boring member of the cast would have been if he had even less to say. And I definitely feel like his relationships with Reyn and Fiora in particular would have been severely compromised in that scenario. Also, I would suggest that having an 'unlikable' character is a good argument for a better character, not a silent one.
