    NOOOO!!

    Voiced protagonists just limits dialogue so so much! Just look at Fallout 4 :(

    The original Bloodlines is one of my all time favorite games, mostly because of the 10/10 dialogue.

      Not if done right. IE; look at “the not-gold standard” Baldurs Gate 3.

          Yeah it’s actually kind of disappointing, but understandable, given the way they set up premade vs custom characters.

          I honestly can’t think of a choice heavy RPG that’s done a good job of a voiced character since Mass Effect and Dragon Age 2. And EA did everything they could to sabotage DA2.

            And Mass Effect mostly only worked fully voiced because Shepard was their own fleshed out character and we were just guiding them on being nice or mean and helping them collect all the stuff they needed to beat the reapers.
