Sorry to hear that is a deal breaker for you. Didn't care for Skyrim I take it? Or ANY other BGS game besides Fallout 4? Well, if it's a must have, give it a year and you'll be able to train an AI to speak in YOUR voice every unspoken line in the game.

I did try Skyrim & F03 but they weren't really my thing. I only realised RPGs might be 'my thing' after Fallout 4 & it struck me that the voiced toon was a major contributor.

 

My issue is that I get to play me every day, so the toon being 'me' was absolutely not what I wanted. Actors are experts are being someone else, they don't (usually) play themselves & often sound quite different than they do in real life. When I play an RPG, I am trying to get immersed in being someone else. A voiced player character is a huge bonus in that regard, very immersive, as a toon that sounds like someone else really help me get out of my head and into the toon's head.

 

And yes, if there is a trainable AI to voice the character a year from now, I will certainly give that a go!

The AI already exists but still requires some refinement to nail the cadence and inflection that makes a voice sound natural. Judging by how far it has come in the last two years I'm guessing it will be dialed in, in about a year.

Sad that Bethesda went with the silent protagonist voice instead of adding in a settings toggle for voiced/silent player, mods will come like in Skyrim, but AI voice mods don't quite measure up to real voice actors yet.
