This is one of the most overlooked and underappreciated aspects of good game design. Too often, characters are put in games just to fill up space. Characters are the windows through which we view the world within the game. Notice that when your character dies while playing in a videogame, you typically don't say "Crap, he died" - you say "Crap, I died." Good characters bring you into game world.
If sombody died, they wouldn't talk.
