Good Grief! I’m perfect for the lead in an Adventure Game.
I see you have a new nonsonnet. (I hope I'm not terribly out of date. Sigs can go unnoticed for quite a while, but I do pay attention to yours. Sometimes.)

That would depend on who the designer was, though. Tim Schafer has famously stated that the best main character is the coolest person in the game world. But in 90% of games (adventure games, but AFAIK in most other genres too) your observation fits.
