Even if you like to see your 3rd-person character on screen, you get to know your tiny avatar pretty well in no time. And no facial expressions during conversations.

Tex Murphy and Black Dahlia worked fine in 1st person.

The overwhelming majority of 1st-person adventures use cutscenes, so of course you can see Tex and Jim. One irritating exception is Dark Side of the Moon. Your protagonist has a name, a character, a voice but you never ever get to see him in any of the cutscenes. Other people talk to the camera = you. Same is true for Temujin, but at least there's a reason for all the mystery, storywise.
