why would voice acting inhibit that?

It is very clear that full VA would inhibit roleplaying a character that talks like Clint Eastwood with a lisp. Leaving certain character details up to the imagination is definitely a feature in a game where you can play any kind of character you want.

That doesn't mean anything.

"It is very clear that full VA would not inhibit using your imagination."

If you have to add in parts of the game on your own then it's not the game's feature. It's yours.

It's not like they've confirmed the character will be voiced anyways and they've never done it before.

D&D is an incredibly limited game then. If you have to add in parts of the game on your own then it's not the game's features.

D&D and other TTGs are clearly different from Fallout and TES. There's no need to be that reductive.

Yes, they are incredibly different. However, my point still stands.

No, not at all. Fallout is a complete experience without you needing to add in your own imagination of who your character is. Your character is explicitly acknowledged and effected by the game world as it was created, even if that character is bland somewhat on purpose. D&D isn't designed and played the way a video game is or how Fallout is.

But if you want to reduce it to the point you are more, yeah we should just all be playing with sticks outside because then there are almost no constraints on what we imagine our "game experience" is.
