Where does one draw the line on self inserts for mute characters? People say Crono is a self insert, as is Freeman, but both of them have their own preexisting personalities.
You aren't that character, you're just controlling them temporarily to make them do cool shit that is (usually) in line with their personality.
People have to stop self-inserting; it isn't healthy for the mind.

Personally I like to just play them as mute
Yes the character doesn't speak and is awkward, yes I think that's actually canon

>>715520192
But Anon, there are no dubs on /v/

the only way you can believe this is if you are either a mindless normalfag NPC who cannot fantasize, or think people have no ability to fantasize to a healthy degree
It's like people who believe if you have one (1) beer you'll become an alcoholic and die and then go to hell and also die

Because he has no agency? You ever know what gordon wants or feels? He's just a golem for you the player to puppet. You could contrast him to Isaac Clarke who had goals and ambitions to the point that they stopped making him mute after the first Dead Space game.

If we're controlling him, then he wants what we want and feels what we assume he feels

There's no juxtaposition between his wants and ours, nor do they simply happen to match, but rather we are playing through his life as if it was scripted so, he does what we tell him to of his own free will because that's what he organically would want to do and if he hadn't we wouldn't have done it

Man of profound mental retardation, aren't you?

I'm up to the part just after blast pit, where you escape from the helicopter and you're in this silo thing, but I have no ammo and no health and there's 3 soldier guys
I literally can't progress

>>715522885
suck off the 3 guys

>>715520275
you sure?

GORDON YOU LOUSY MOTHERFUCKER

He's wearing a hazard suit, you obviously cannot penetrate his metal ass

I'm just saying maybe gordon shouldn't have thrown the sample in as hard as he could

>If we're controlling him, then he wants what we want and feels what we assume he feels
So you're self inserting

Can't you read?

>>715530125
There's a difference between controlling someone and being someone, you can drive a car but that doesn't mean that you are the car now.
