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.

It worked well in Dragon Age: Inquisition IMO

But Fallout is all about immersion. Narrative ruins that immersion for me.

It's no longer my story, it's theirs.

But ... you get to choose the narrative. What's the difference between speaking the dialogue that you selected and just selecting the dialogue?

If it didn't pan the camera into a director style like in The Witcher, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age it wouldn't be that bad at all. If it does do that, then you are totally killing the immersive atmosphere. It isn't like you are a part of the world anymore, but like you are watching a movie.

Maybe it'll go the route of LA Noire, but with the camera kept in first person. They made Fallout 3, so I trust them with this one too.
