When to use Characters over Objects

    Hi, I am creating a first person graphic adventure and was wondering if their is an advantage to using character sprites as Objects vs Characters. 

    In the game the characters will just be static images with some blinking animations, maybe changing to a different pose as the player progresses through the conversation.

    By using the character image as an Object instead of a Characters, are there downsides or inefficiencys?  Thank you.

    I'm in favor of Characters, it really easy to animate and then you can make random animations (like blinking, so the blinking occurs at random times). Also I wouldn't know how you would make dialogue trees if your characters are actually objects, you'd have to code that yourself then I guess..
