No, not really. IMO it only really works when you're playing a game like Portal 2 where the story is driven entirely by personal reactions or Skyrim or Half Life where it's being told at you. However you can get a lot more out of a game if you stick to the traditional narrative experience (see books, epics) when you're involved in some way because you can leverage your point of view as an involved participant to work you way into the fiction. See Deus Ex:HR which for all it's boss-fight-faults did drive a very compelling narrative. And Halo 4's campaign rose straight up there when 343 decided to do more with the chief character than Bungie. Hell I can even cite Captain Titus in Space Marine as a pretty good example of how even a little introspective personality can take the mundane "Me smash orks!" and make it heartfelt. Anyway, no silent pro's. At this point it's cliché and we can certainly do better.
