NPCs did their job fine in most RPGs, I admit, but the main character part is what I find very lacking. Take for example Gothic 3. Sure, the NPCs and civilians there talk about the effects of the war and the occupation but what about the main character (a.k.a. the Nameless One)? He didn't even portray any feelings regarding the current status quo in Myrtana or feelings regarding the decisions he made.
