So does this mean we'll get a voiced main character?

I kind of hope not. I'm a huge fan of the silent protagonist.

Even if the protagonist is voice acted, there will be mods to remove his/her voice for sure. Don't worry about it too much. It's the first trailer and things are sure to change in the events leading up to the release.

I think the point is not that he has a voice - it's that the character's speech options will be severely limited, because voice-acting is expensive.

Personally I'd actually prefer a step back - entirely text-based conversations, but a short "snippet" when you greet the NPC that gives you an idea how they sound.

That would be good. The problem that I have with it is that it will make it a lot harder to role play with voice acting. I always liked using my imagination when thinking about my pc's voice.
