Muted main character? Really?

[Joe]

Cmon! You sold the game for 60$ and couldn't afford a voice actor/actress? The F is wrong with you Ubisoft? Always had a bad feeling about games that let you choose between male and female protagonists........it would usually leads to muted or extremely bland and empty character.

The answer is that both male and female voice acting should have been included ...

Not one or the other ...

It would be a minor cost in the overall production budget ...

Very shortsighted ...

Sucks, Jason going from scared wuss to bloodthirsty psychopath was one of the best things about JC3, Even boring Arjay from FC4 atleast acknowledged his situation even if he had zero character development. Deputy here might as well be a advanced darpa automaton sent in to pacify montana.

Far Cry has always had lame protagonists. I'm glad they just ditched the established character and added customization.

Brody was annoying and whiney and the primal dude may as well have been silent. Its not that big of a change to be honest.

[Geese1999]

best as neither.

Not really but being completely mute is worse, it's unnatural, if someone is talking to you you could at least reply, a few words would do too. But nooooooo, Ubisoft couldn't even do that.

Its not that they couldn't do it... they just chose not to. Its really not all that different. If your character could talk hed be asking a crap load of questions in order to get the same exposition or he would largely be saying " WHAT THE ♥♥♥♥!?" and "OH ♥♥♥♥!!" most of the time.

"We've made the main characer a mute, blank slate so you can roleplay as yourself"
"but we also only give you only a handful of ugly faces, with no way of tweaking them"
"so there's no way to recreate yourself ingame and even if you were able to"
"there's no way for you to see your characters face ingame, so why bother"
(Also, this whole "the character is mute so you can easier pretend he's you")
(doesn't work for me, because who the hell would be silent in these situations?)
(Are we playing a character with crippling social anxiety?!)

Mute protagonists just always break any sense of immersion for me.
I'm never engaged in any of the cutscenes or conversations
because my player character is never being talked to, simply talked at.
The main guy from RE7 was quite bare bones but at least
he'd make a few comments about what's going on ingame
and answer back to the characters that would talk to him,
which added to the games immersion.

A voiceless protagonists only work if they give us text dialogue oiptions,
even then I'd still prefer the protagonist to be voice acted.

How about ya just shut the ♥♥♥♥ up and play the game or refund it and pi$$ off, stop whining over things so minor it makes you look like a pathetic human who whines if their green beans are touching their mash potatoes.

Secondly everyone bashed on Jason's character and FarCry 4's .. I would of done the same to shut up the fanbase.

It really isn't a huge issue. Inner monologues and a few dialog responses isnt that important to a game like this. Ubisoft probably took all the feedback of the protagonist being lame and decided to save thier time and money. When i started playing this game the thought never crossed my mind untill i read this thread.

I feel like people are trying a little hard to jab this game.

This fellow is blunt but not incorrect. People complain no matter what.

Ironic no? You're the only "pathetic human" here, everyone was talking very calmly and politely. You are alone......

The opinion of an aggressive rude fool ... has no value at all ...

Remember when Fallout 4 added voices? Huge uproar.
