Probably not buying this one. :(

I agree with the OP - but I know it'll still be a memorable game.

I've ALWAYS enjoyed games more when *I* am the character. If my character talks or has set lines (Buldars Gate and Fallout being exceptions due to the large amount of choices. Thief being an exception due to, I dunno, Garrett's hot? Actually there a bunch of exceptions!) I tend to disconnect with the game and my character (not really my character as he/she is everyone's character) and lose interest.

Though, like I mentioned, there are many exceptions. Maybe it's due to me having no faith in developers to create characters that I personally can identify with (most 'characters' in these games tend to be total dipshits. Except obviously Solid Snake...) or maybe knowing that there is a script and I am just a puppet master detracts from the overall experience.
