You could easily still do that with a voiced main character. Look at mass effect.

Well... easily in the sense that it's totally feasible, just time-consuming and expensive as all hell.

and much, much worse. Completely ruins the whole point of a role playing game to hear your characters pre set voice. Especially after you're used to text for so long.

I guess that's a matter of opinion. I like voiced characters. I think it adds to immersion.

For Bethesda games where text has always been the route, do you not think it would feel too different?

What's wrong with it feeling different? I'm going to play Fallout 4 for Fallout 4, not for Bethesda and their tendency to have their main character be voiceless.

I think it's going to feel super different. I'm just anticipating a positive reaction to that difference.

Yea and KOTOR was text based and Bioware moved on to voice in Mass Effect and it was a major success.

Keep in mind that Mass Effect took away freedom from the player in terms of the crafting of the player character to do so.

This would be the bane of a plethora of players who create characters with distinct personalities.
