I am of the belief that devs have the right to do what they want in regards to development even if it bites them in the ass.Its not their job to cater to gamers. Just tell the story they want.
The designers do have a degree of loyalty to past customers, a sequel often banks on it so you need a balancing act, you change and greatly improve to make fans happy ala 3 protags in GTA5 which I thought would be awful originally or you exploit them with poorly made cash grabs ala EA

I haven't stated my opinions as facts at all. I find silent PCs better, that's my opinion. If you don't agree that's cool but trying to say it's a fact that voiced PCs are better? Yeah.,..no.
Yes you have, you're treating anyone's opinion that are different from your's as inferior. "Someone likes FO3 better then F1, F2 or FNV?" Clearly they don't know what they are talking about! You did nothing but complain ever since the trailer came out.
How the hell does it make a better story? It makes dialog flow better but it does not increase the quality of the writing.
You stated one of the reasons yourself yet still ask, delivery is extremely important people win oscars for it, the main character standing around like a simpleton is disconnecting as the people act around him and not with.
Nice to see some people wanting a male protag only "just to ****** off the SJW lololololololololol!!!!1111" and at the same time failing to realize that the rest who have nothing to do with swj bullshit, would be very opposed to that as well.
Dat maturity *slow clap*.
And the funny thing is that those ppl also sound exactly like the "sjw" ones. Oh the delicious irony.

Yes if we where to be overly literal, saying filth off the floor tastes bad is technicaly a matter of opinion or even being beaten. As far as story goes a silent protag is always bad and your examples don't work as the voice acting aspect has nothing to do with the benefit of a protag as far as story goes, that is a cost to the studio and a drop in the ocean if we are going by other costs. The benefit of a silent protag for some and why characters such as Link, the Warden or Dovahkin are popular despite having 0 personality is that people project on to them, so it's story vs projection, neither choice wrong I just prefer the former.
Silent protagonist games can still fit in more dialogue options. It's not quite as cheap as you'd think to have voice acting in a game like Fallout for the main character.
What is a fact in all of this is that it takes less resources to write the dialogue than it does to write the dialogue and have somebody voice act it out, unless for some strange reason your voice actor is working for free.
Look at Mass Effect. As much as I loved the game, there is really only 2 types of Shepard you can play as.
but by all means, continue acting like you have the "correct" opinion here.

Well devs are free to do as they wish with their own game.
Although gamers are free to complain about it to let them know that they're not happy with the direction they're going and that it may hurt you in the long run to go down that route.

That's not writing that's acting. I can point at many games with great voice acting but **** story. A voiced protagonist does not improve the writing.

Typical Bethesda writing, Macho Man Randy Savage should be the hero of the story, not the villian.Exactly, why bother telling a story about some a-hole trying to avenge his wife when they could give the players the tools to tell the story of some a-hole and his companion, thomas the tank trying to avenge their pet pony after it was murdered by Macho Man Randy Savage?
Ah people acting superior to others 
love that

Right, and if anyone calls them out on it, they'll just act like it was all a big ironic joke and you're an idiot for not getting it, but they'll never say they were kidding when someone expresses support for their edgy nonsense.
/facepalm
Thank you for the inteligent response. I'll just be on my way, trying to enjoy the nice things about life, unlike some others...

Rex is still better then Dogmeat tho

Classy.

Story?
I just want to grab everything marked red that I can carry. Then decide in anguish which items to drop because I've exceeded my carry limits, irregardless of the fact that I don't need any of that sh*t because I'm already richer than all NPCs combined.
The only villian in Bethesda games is me. Now, everyone look that way, so I can steal those likes too!

You have lost Karma!

In your dreams
It's true, Steve Blum's acting is superior to others.
He should voice the male and female protagonists.
Can't argue with that.
It's true, Steve Blum's acting is superior to others.
He should voice the male and female protagonists.
And they should both look like Harold from Fire Emblem If.
Troy Baker as Troy Baker playing Troy Baker
Personally I'd like to see Troy Baker play Nolan North's impression of Steve Blum throughout the whole thing
It's true, Steve Blum's acting is superior to others.
He should voice the male and female protagonists.
I'm pretty sure that it's video game law that you must have Steve Blum voice a character in your game.

It's true, Steve Blum's acting is superior to others.

He voiced the Ice Khaleesi so ofcourse his acting is superior 
Who should also be voiced by Steve Blum. Though I will also accept Norio Wakamoto for the English version.
I would buy it if Wakamoto voices the PC.
