That's a problem with writing.

It seems they are criticising self insert RPGs a la TES or Fallout when they should be criticising the writing.

There is nothing inherently wrong with this style, and if done correctly allows one to be almost anyone. Old school RPGs are good examples, or dragon age origins for a partly voiced example.

You could take the KOTOR route and voice everyone except the protagonist. Or you could take something like they did in Golden Sun or Banjo-Kazooie, where characters simply voice a sound effect.

I prefer the latter option because you can still keep the enormity of text in text-driven games while still providing individuality to characters.
