Playnow posted an interview with Volition about their PC/PS2 first-person shooter title Red Faction:

PN: Can we expect to discover some level of personality within the lead character, or will we be controlling a voiceless mute like Half-Life's Gordon Freeman?

Alan Lawrance: The player will be able to see and hear the lead character during the in game cinematics. Outside of that, you won't be hearing the player make many remarks. One of our main goals is to immerse the player into the game, and we believe making the player character talk a lot during gameplay has more potential of breaking immersion than enhancing it.
