Cave Story has been ruined forever.
Hate to break it to you boss, but Quote says words in a text box in the original Cave Story.
Two words: "Ligano Motscoud"
I guess you never liked Cave Story o:
Whenever I picture silent protagonists talking, they always speak like I do, which is usually more well-spoken than most characters in the video games (i.e. Curly Brace. I love her attitude, but she speaks so plainly at times...), which, in a way, attaches me to the protagonist even more.
The other cool thing about silent protagonists is that since you already conjure a rough idea of what the character says, you also determine the personality of that character. Especially in cases like Quote's, who shows no descision making without the player's consent beyond Quote backing away from Misery when she threatens Sue. Is he courageous? Timid? Quiet? Talkative? A total douche?
It's up to you, really.
