I cannot think of a single protagonist in a videogame who shows weakness, which may be one the primary reasons why games tend to be terrible at character and plot development. The lack of a interesting and believable protagonist will hold back any story no matter how good.
My theory suggests that in an attempt to my the player feel empowered, game designers have severly inhabited there protagonists from acting like people with faults and weaknesses.
Can you name a game protagonist who has weaknesses and contradict my theory?
