Annoying narrators in point-and-clicks.
I was never a fan of the transition from text input to mouse input. Larry 6, Police Quest VGA and Robin Hood: Conquest of the Longbow are the only mouse inputs I've completed more than once. Things that annoyed me, besides the somewhat clunky interfaces getting worse instead of better, were the addition of narrators and the disappearance of good text boxes and options to turn the narrator off.
Space Quest IV and VI as well as Larry VII really annoyed me with the narrator. There was no way to turn him off without turning everyone off. Larry VII was especially disappointing because Larry VI had a great interface; talking, beautiful photos of every character (which were just fine silent, in fact I prefer it, I hate Larry's dorky voice), individual color boxes with a different text and background color for everyone, and well written dialog. Larry VII however made it all audio, with a last-minute addition of a textbox that is bland and ugly looking, as well as too small.
So, the long and short of it. Do any of you find these or other narrators in other games annoying as hell?
