I always thought he was just thoroughly depressed. Like, so traumatized and guilt-ridden that he daren't open his mouth again.
>>
>>344369813
I kind of like the idea of him being mute. The silent scientist who must speak through actions rather than words.
>>
>>344369626
No, he's a man of few words.

>>344369626
Nope, just shitty writing

No, it's just that his sarcasm and medical jargon were unneeded.

Nope, it mentioned on a HL1 game manual that someone had a phone interview with Freeman a few weeks before the game took place

Writing a book and leaving a page blank is shitty writing

>A book that's blank so you can write your own story is shitty writing

Okay

>shitty writing

Sorry it doesn't satisfy your bohemian tastes, you filthy hipster, but video games have this element called ROLE PLAY where you INSERT YOURSELF into the shoes of the CHARACTER that you are controlling. A silent protagonist is not silent unless you have NO IMAGINATION.

You are confusing good writing with pretension. If you want good writing, don't read fiction, much less video game fiction that was probably cobbled together by programming nerds, FOR nerds who frankly don't give a fuck about the ludonarrative ramifications of an action game protagonist's soul, especially when the story is retarded to begin with.
