Did you mean to say the main guy from GTAIII?

None of them, because it's lazy game making.

I'm going to have to go with the masses and say Gordon Freeman. He always makes me wonder how he got his advanced degree as a scientist and went through college without talking.

the guy from bioshock

i know what your thinking, you can hear him talk in the beginning, but thats just it, he's telling you about it later on in life, during the game he's as silent as a, well, mute person


i'm an asshole

Uhh, Link isn't actually silent. He says stuff in Japanese, but everyone percieves it as just grunts and cries.

Probably Reven from KOTOR. Even though he does have dialouge to say he never really talks.

If you remeber, Jak was silent in the original Jak and Daxter game. Oh, and those who say that silent characters are just laziness, you are wrong. A silent, (sometimes faceless) protagonist allows you to perceive him how you want him to be. He can't prove you wrong. Really, how many of you wish Raiden was a silent protagonist? He would have been much better if you didn't know how whiny his voice was.

P.S. on a technical side, Claude Speed (GTAIII) was an antagonist, not a protagonist.
