Mute as in no voice acting, or mute as in they literally say nothing. I dont care about voice acting, but I like personality in characters.

>yay
depends on the game in any case
Fallout 4s shitty dialogue is a direct consequence of full voice acting

classes are about to begin, it's her favorite subject, she's really excited to start learning!

The single one game where it was done on acceptable level is LOK Defiance.
In every other case it only deludes narrative/gameplay and makes game overall worse.

But Outer Worlds didn't have a voice and uh...

Outer Worlds had awful writing, not awful dialogue systems & dialogue choices
it also had way more fucking problems that a mute protagonist had nothing to do with

I prefer when the protagonist is an actual character unless they are a customizable avatar.

They got a VA for female (Jack from Mass Effect). But Bethesda isn't really Bioware, in any case.

apples and bowling balls

got a good VA*

Yay.

Yay, absolutely Yay. My least favorite part about the shit game fallout 4 is the voiced protagonist.

yay

depends, if the game has ton of character customization then i think its ok to have mute main

if not then its retarded

yay if it's a RPG with customisable characters, nay if we're playing as a pre-defined character (such as Henry in Kingdom Come, wouldn't want that lad mute)

Demi-Fiend has dialogue options that influence the ending tho

I think either way is fine
HOWEVER
mute protagonist > unlikable protagonist
talking protagonist >>>>>>>>> mute protagonist with sidekick who does all the talking

The only mute protags that stuck with me are Trainer Red and Agent 3 (male).
