RE: Would prefer a silent protagonist. [spoilers]

I made a similar complaint about the ending a couple of weeks ago, but I completely disagree, Simon is supposed to represent the typical lay-man hero in science-fiction. He's an average guy with only a reasonable amount of education compared to the people who staffed PATHOS-II, of course he's going to overreact to his situation. This is done to justify Catherine's exposition about the nature of SOMA's world and technology.

By the way, SOMA wasn't originally meant to be a full on horror game, clearly you were expecting a spiritual sequel to Penumbra, not that I blame you with the way Frictional ended up marketing it in the end and the way they designed some of the levels and enemies.
