Name a game that a features a protagonist:

That's not silent
That's not a smug quip master
That's not a naive idiot
That's not emo/edgy/nothingpersonalkid

Who is well natured
Who sounds reasonable and makes reasonable decisions
Who probably exhibits the qualities of an "Average Joe" the most

I hope you realize that no one likes an "average joe" or "everyman" protagonist. They tend to be the most bland and boring kind of characters imaginable and have no place in a story.

>>333289174
The voice is hardly a spoiler considering the scene in which you meet Victor and actually hear his voice properly for the first time is literally when it's revealed that he's a fractured Ludger

Look at the Matrix or Star Wars, the protags are dulll as hell but the story succeeds around them

He is. All he wants is to travel the world and perfect his technique. Nothing unreasonable about that especially if he's good enough to win fights for money and can make do with just about any situation.
