Nah, even with a mute the story could´ve been good.
As long as the other characters have good stories...and as long as those stories are actually shown

But playing as a mute in games with many cinematic cut scene like this or red dead online is just silly. They could just use first person view in cut scene and add dialog option just like an interactive movies and it would work perfectly.

Yeah it does look very silly when others talk to your character, and your character just looks at them silently xD
Just make cutscenes about the other characters, and less about your own.

I hate this trend of mute player characters...

It is different for games that don't really have a story like Minecraft. But if you want to tell a story and want the player to be a part of that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ let the character they control be part of that...

It's not even like they completely saved this money either. They still had to find at least two voice actors and pay them for grunting in multiple ways for the various base options we got (unless they used stock files which I doubt but is not impossible).

If I wanted to imagine myself as the character in the game I would just stop playing games and live my own ♥♥♥♥♥♥ life... Give player characters in cutscenes their voices back again!

It's funny to read as people comment that Hide was a boss for William. Living weapon > Transform

Story is good if it's good being mute has nothing to do with it see FFXIV. Story is not the focus of these games though, what they oftne do have is good characters and that's why William stands out I suppose, as the only good main character.

william is why nioh 1 is cringe

Don't you think it would make more sense if the warrior of light was engaged in a conversation (or the fight) instead of standing there, glaring, while the bad guy gives a long-winded monologue (or is attempting to murder their allies)?
You're a bystander in cutscenes, not the protagonist, which i'd guess is the problem.

It certainly has the potential to be better or worse sure. But William does not make the chase and beat up the very bad guy story any better it's still bare bones generic and in no way memorable. Meanwhile the WoL Doesn't take away enough from the story in Final fantasy was my point.

William is barely even part of Nioh 1 story. He's very an outsider to most of the events. Which I guess does make him more relatable for some.

[ElviraDemonQueen]

i agree but same time i hated i cant make my own caracter look with nioh2 whas a big improvement but yeah that comes with us being mute i guess but dus not bother me really as im mute in real life so its like me in real

Maybe they could do both, make you create your own character and also make an interesting main character.
And just have you be able to switch between them during your playthrough
