Gamer Confessions..

Another reason why I hate silent protagonists in games...When NPC's speak to you or when you're involved in a discussion with two or more NPC's in this type of game I can't help but feel awkward for the protagonist (me). This is torture because I have a similar problem irl. Felt this alot in Half Life 2.
I try to be polite and stand still within a socially appropriate distance from all NPC's while looking/panning the camera to their faces when they speak.
Is this normal lol?

Yes! I do the same.

I also liked how they made the main protagonists talk in the more recent RPG's.

I hated it, especially in Dragon Age 1 when the NPC spoke and asked you questions, then you just shook your head or nodded or made a weird expression like they're supposed to know what you're saying.

The game is really awkward if your character just does not respond to people's questions and commands... Even SOME talking is much better than none at all like the case of bf4...

In something like LA Noire, where the protagonist actually spoke based on your choices, I started to get annoyed with Cole when he spoke back to the NPC, as the choices that you made sometimes felt like it didn't match up with the speech that followed.

Perhaps with better implementation, it could be less awkward.

Shepard from Mass Effect did the same thing a few times, I'd want to be a little douchey and he'd go the whole nine yards...
 
Talking about cheat codes for GTA, I used to use it all the time when I used to play for fun, when when I was serious didn't use any, surprisingly :)

Still remember a famous cheat code for GTA 1: s*#kmyrocket :D
 
the last time i used cheat codes was back in the day when i played War Craft 3 or was it Age of empires.

Age of empires, favourite cheat code was bigdaddy. Used it when I got stuck on a level, for hours after multiple times.

Must admit I finished it with cheat codes.

Red Alert with some trainer :P

Funny thing, I was called "Cheatmeister" in high school :D

Reason for that was I was 'apparently' so good in games my friends thought I was cheating.
