I'd like voiced protagonists more if I were allowed to see the dialogue options.Silent protagonists kinda work, when the game doesn't have budget to actually voice other characters as well - then your character is mute, but so are the others (apart from ocasional lines). Then you just read all the dialogue.
It feels incredibly inconsistent for me, when everyone in the world is voiced, except for my character.
And don't start me on: when you have silent protagonist, there are more dialogue lines, and they are longer and better written, than when protagonist is voiced, because, ekhm... Skyrim.
Don't use a voiced player-character this time.

More information in general is something we need with dialogue systems, and yet developers seem quite committed to not giving us that information.

In fact, it was Casey Hudson telling me explicitly that I wasn't allowed to know what Shepard was going to do or say in advance of him doing it that caused me to abandon the series.
I asked a clear question and he gave me a clear answer. So I left.

That was a design goal since ME1, though they weirdly tried to hide it (and I don't think they phrased it quite in that way). It used to be - in the early previews - about how the paraphrase was akin to the partly formed thought one might have whereas the spoken line - which was different - was more akin to what one might sometimes fumble out. Of course, I appreciate that's not exactly your experience of speech.
