The...plight of the silent vg protagonist

I was just thinking about games with Main characters who don't speak, and they seem to get the real shitty end of the deal...ALOT

I mean.. Chrono -ChronoTrigger- :
He friggin dies

Isaac -Dead Space- : "Hey Isaac, you need to go hit this switch thats alllllll the way on the otherside of the Isimura. There's like a million monster guys between here and there but none of us other people with you are going to help..I mean.. I MIGHT unlock a door for you but meh..."

Gordon Freeman -Half Life- : Possibly one of the poorest saps ever... "Hey, lets do some stupid interdimensional experiments." "Oh I know...lets get Gordon to do it" "Who will take this RPG to the roof and take out the gunships? Ah Gordon, I couldn't ask for a better volunteer

whenever I play these games I can't help but tell the supporting characters how much the main must hate them

Do these silent guys ever catch a break?

Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    Yeah you're right, those protagonists that do talk typically have rosy stories where nothing goes wrong, like Solid Snake.

    I always thought the worse were the WWII shooters like Call of Duty and Medal of Honour etc.

    "Johnson, secure that building, we'll cover you."

    "Now destroy that tank, take out that machine gun bunker, blow the munitions dump and escort the prisoners after breaking them out of that Nazi jail over there".

    I know it would be boring to watch squadmates to do some of these tasks but how about a break for poor Johnson?
