Poll: Your Favorite Non-Speaking Character

[ejb626]

The two characters in Call of Duty: World at War, I mean they narrate the cutscenes but don't talk during gamplay it takes balls to remain silent while being tortured, after being shot, while being beat up by an angry nazi, and of course while being spoken to.

For the poll well I played the Super Mario World port on the GBA in Elementary School and I always found getting Yoshi to be advantageous so I'll vote for him.

ALL of the characters in your fucking poll speak. Fail thread is fail.

They make sounds (except in Mario's case where he says random stuff, which made me lol in Mario and Luigi Partners in time where he yelled "Babies!"), In the end they all have a game where they don't speak, on purpose and because of lack of technology

Also to any of you who say this is not a complete list, Kudos to you u finally realise that they are more that 8 characters, Sorry but Escapist only allows a set amount of entries, and not one man would be able to list every single character that doesn't speak. If one of u do, i would love it if u would make a list.

No Gordon Freeman, therefore I go with Link. But this is not a complete list of silent characters without him.

 

[dommyuk]

Does Silent Bob count?

 

[Tsuillo]

I can't believe you forgot Chrono, and furthermore will never forgive you for it.

 

[ProjectJAY]

where. is. gordon. freeman???

 

[Tjebbe]

gordon freeman is boring as a character.

one thousand votes for the companion cube.

I have it torn between Isaac Clarke, Chell from Portal, Jack from Bioshock and the Rookie from ODST. Largely though I'm going to go with the Rookie because he's in an understandably dangerous situation alone behind enemy lines trying to piece things together by himself. Isaac is sort of the same, being haunted by visions of a loved one so I can get an idea of how he must be feeling. Chell and Jack also have certain complex motivations based around who they are and what their origins are, given that Jack was created in a science experiment and Chell just wakes up one day in a lab.
So yeah, those are my favourites.

all of these are in my top 5 because they're awesome but Gordon Freeman takes my top spot, mute scientist FTW

No Gordon, no dice.

Interestingly, due to the lack of cutscenes, reflective surfaces or the ability to see your legs when you look down, there is no in game evidence that Freeman is anything more than a floating pair of hands.

lol this. loved reading this

gordan freeman....master hand and crazy hand?

 

[Huupertti]

I would pick Gordon freeman but since he's not in the poll, I go for yoshi...

 

[Dr. Thunder]

tim from braid

 

[MurderousToaster]

I can't answer this, because you left the best one out.

So I ask myself:

WWGFD?

 

[LGC Pominator]

I am going with the rookie, but he isnt on here

 

[Kanlic]

Samus because she is the only character that has a reason not to talk. All she ever encounters are aliens and monsters, there is no one for her to talk to so whatever, she doesn't. All the other characters, especially Link, just stare back at the NPC's dumbly till the characters decide to shut up.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Big Daddies. All of them. They're just so frickin' awesome.

 

[Voodoomancer]

*Does an impression instead of telling you, and stays silent*

 

[KazNecro]

Gordon Freeman, of course. Out of the choices, Link.

I agree. You didn't think to put Gordon Freeman in the mix? Although I understand why. Almost everyone would have voted for him.
