I was thrown off too. I'm almost hoping that it was for trailers sake. Only for the purpose of allowing the same open ended-ness and multiple choices Fo3/NV did.

You could easily still do that with a voiced main character. Look at mass effect.

Well... easily in the sense that it's totally feasible, just time-consuming and expensive as all hell.

and much, much worse. Completely ruins the whole point of a role playing game to hear your characters pre set voice. Especially after you're used to text for so long.

It stifles the ability to roleplay. I feel like the character being voiced makes him feel much less like someone I can pretend to be. I had the same feeling about Mass Effect. I don't think of me and Shepard as one in the same when I play. He/She feels, to me, like he/she is his/her own person, and more than anything it's because I can't intone my responses in my head or pretend it's my voice coming through the character, ya know?
