[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 2934667, member: 198"] I've always figured that the third person approach is the best to take when playing the strong silent type (or weak silent, which is a viable but much less popular version). I generally don't play the type, since I enjoy verbally interacting with other PCs and with NPCs, and I primarily use first person when gaming. But a couple of years ago I played an orc barbarian, who had strong and silent down to a "T" and was a very fun roleplaying experience. He was mentally very thick and not very self-confident (Int, Wis, Cha all 6), so he didn't speak much. At the same time, he was intensely curious and always doing something, as well as reacting to his companions' actions in physical ways. So I got to enjoy roleplaying him and also participated thoroughly with the other PCs. Amusingly, people who were at the table tell me that they remember him and the wizard's familiar as the two most memorable characters in the group. [/QUOTE]
