Henry's facial expression
Moderator: Moderators
What my family and I think is that he's 'jaded.
Meaning that he's been through so much crap that nothing effects him anymore and they have lost their personality.
But the game description says that he's 'a calm young man who doesn't like to let his feelings show'
I haven't heard anything about him being possessed but he does say that he was 'drawn' to South Ashfield Heights at one point so that could be a point

Most people say Henry's a pervert because of looking through the peephole to Eileen's room, but here's the thing: Your not required to do that, it's the players choice.
So whose the pervert now :P?
((Apparently you can OD on Green Tea...And it's painful.))

When I say 'so much crap' it means in the days that he has been locked in his apartment,than thrown into an insane world of chaos and mayhem against his will ^^
It's only a suggestion
(But he does state that his childhood was not a great time for him at one point XD)

Yeah. They gave a really vague background story about the guy Henry, it doesn't even feel like he's the protagonist...
Besides, isn't that the alternate theme of this story??? About a hermit who closes himself in his own room, and later gets closed by it??? Seriously...
You bet. As the developers themselves said: Henry is an INTROVERT personality type. So - he is usually calm, quiet, introspected, and doesn't talk and get along too much... There's nothing wrong with that. He's just how he's supposed to be... yet he IS very misunderstoodI'm so tired of the Henry-hate. Basically because the hate is so wrong, Henry is a fully fleshed out character with more reactions and behaviour than people might believe.

Nope. The story of The Room was generally influenced by the book "Coin Locker Babies" written by japanese author Ryu Murakami, about a baby abandoned in a coin locker.

Oh I know, I read that somewhere... But just about Henry. His personality does count very much in the game's scheme, as I see it.Nope. The story of The Room was generally influenced by the book "Coin Locker Babies" written by japanese author Ryu Murakami, about a baby abandoned in a coin locker.

Let's face it: Many of us are probably at least as introverted as this guy is. That doesn't mean most of us lack personality or are borderline sociopaths.
Sentiments echoed. Though, Henry is undoubtedly more involved in Walter's story than Chief Bromden was in McMurphy's.I think SH4 is Walter's story, told through the eyes of Henry. Similar to the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

In my opinion Henry is still trying to understand what's going on around him, often making him believe that he's dreaming but when he starts feeling pain and watching people die, he starts to come to the facts that it is real and the only way he can handle it is if he tries hard to keep his cool.

I don't think Henry being possesed is the problem.
Granted his personality can seem a little flat at times, but I think he's just not as in your face as say, heather.
I haven't played through the entire game yet, but after thinking about what I've seen of him already I've been able to realize that he's not all that bad, even though at first he annoyed me.
I agree with Video Gamer that he seems to be someone who can keep his feeling in check. If anything it's a virtue to be able to stay that calm in the situations he's in lol.
There are times when he is a bit laughable, but he's not the only protagonist like that, for sure. I mean there were times when James made me want to slap him. Like not being able to open a damn refriderator by himself, but I got over it.

lol, I remember that.
But when Henry has to put his hand on a dirty hole, which I'm not going to spoil, I thought of James standing behind him saying.
"Put your hand in the hole you wuss!"

Henry's character wasn't very deep to begin with. >.> I think, if I had to label that look on his face, that happens to be there x% amount of the time, I'd say he just looks curious. Like calm/curious. "Well I wonder what is going on here." Granted, it doesn't quite fit, all things/scenarios considered, but that's the way it seems to me.
