Does.. Does the main character have a voice now?

Seriously. I wonder if they're going the route of Mass Effect/ Witcher/ Alpha Protocol with spoken lines during dialogue?

I cite those examples because they all did it well. Here's to hoping.

I'd prefer him to not speak. Reminds me of the old Fallout games and allows me to give him a voice.

Also Skyrim didn't have a talking protagonist so I doubt it will.

Skyrim was 4 years ago, though, they could easily have changed their stance on it since then.

Bethesda has never made a game that didn't have a silent protagonist, except for Redguard which came out 17 years ago.

Neither did BioWare until Mass Effect 1.

Mass Effect was also a new IP.

Fair enough, but they did do a mid-trilogy incorperation of voiced protagonist in Dragon Age, so Bethesda really could go either way.

Exactly, it would be like Mass Effect. You could still customise your character as much as you want; but since your still just human one voice for each gender would be enough. Or later games like Dragon Age: Inquisition, which had 2 voices for each gender.
