vanishedone commented on the word silent protagonist
A video game hero who says nothing, unless the game gives the player a yes/no option. Chrono Cross actually uses this term in its in-game menu.
Surreal Game Design: 'This evil, this disease, is the idea of a Silent Protagonist. Its symptoms are easy to diagnose: the protagonist never speaks and as seemingly important events fly by he/she says nothing; further, all the NPCs go to great lengths to talk around the player and advance the story almost inspite of him while he stands mute.'
