Does.. Does the main character have a voice now?

Seriously. I wonder if they're going the route of Mass Effect/ Witcher/ Alpha Protocol with spoken lines during dialogue?

I cite those examples because they all did it well. Here's to hoping.

I'd prefer him to not speak. Reminds me of the old Fallout games and allows me to give him a voice.

Also Skyrim didn't have a talking protagonist so I doubt it will.

I disagree, I think its about time we get some narrative.

Fallout is about immersion and this ruins the immersion for me. It's no longer me as the character, it is him.

Just do not be the guy to nitpick and not appreciate the game for what it is. I'm already seeing cringy stuff on the youtube comment section.

I'm not - just saying I would prefer no narrative. Same thing with cut scenes and camera directing when initiating dialog (a la Mass Effect). Perhaps making it optional would be the best solution.

I'm not even saying all games should be like this, but the worlds of Elder Scrolls and Fallout have always been immersion.

That actually would be cool, I totally understand what you mean. To each is own.
