Interesting it's canon that Freeman is not simply mute, although I wish they hadn't closed the door on that interpretation.

Even if he be, most other characters do not treat him as such, and do not remark upon the fact even after having just met him and have no way of knowing, that he never speaks back. It provides for a very surreal experience.
