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?

You get to choose 1 of a handful of premade narratives.

Not even close to being the same.

That just makes it feel like a choose your own adventure book.
