ROSEREDPINBALL'S PROFILE

When a player stands in front of an object and presses Enter/A, do you think it's more effective to have the character comment on the object themselves, or to just have a little message box pop up with a general description. For example, if a player were to stand in front of a fire and press Enter/A, do you think it's better to have the text box pop up with dialogue from the character like, "Man, this fire is hot!" Or do you think it's better to have a text box pop up like "This flame is quite hot." Or perhaps a text box saying, "You touch the flame and it burns you." What do you guys think? I'm working on a game and trying to decide if I should have the character describe the object or describe it myself. And if I describe it myself should I describe it as "you" do/think this or just plain description?
