The gaming world has evolved in many ways due to the technologies that are now available for it. In the case of video game protagonists, certain series are known for having “silent ones” that have other characters talk for them. After all, the player can’t speak through them, and having dialogue options wasn’t always available for games, even for RPGs. One franchise that has embodied this throughout its run is Dragon Quest, which always had a silent protagonist trying to save the world in one form or another. However, with today’s technologies, even the series creator admits that things might need to change on the “silent” front.
