I remember in one end-of-level dialog in TLV that goes kinda like this:

Olaf: Do you guys ever get the feeling we're being watched?
Erik: Quit being so paranoid, Olaf. There's no one watching us.
Baelog: Then who's that guy looking at us through that tiny window way over there?

Said window is, of course, your monitor.

I really prefer games wherein your character has a distinct personality, rather that just being the avatar of the player. I'd like to see an adventure or RPG wherein you, the player, assisted the protagonist solely through communication with him/her/it rather than just pulling strings.
