I’m loving the game, but I’m not going to lie, the fact that the player character lines aren’t voice acted is a little jarring, because everything else is voice acted so well.

I have no idea why, but I had it in my brain that the only reason the PC wasn’t voice acted in the early access version was because it was early access.

I even can acknowledge that the way it is aligns with industry standard, but even after playing for hours since release, it just feels jarring to me to only hear one side of the conversations.

I don’t mean to come off as complaining; just sharing my thoughts.

I guess it is a matter of perspective? I think it makes sense that the player character doesn’t talk because it’s meant to be your voice.

If I would choose a dialogue option and some other persons voice would come out it would be jarring to me.

I think a voiced protagonist makes sense in games where you play the role of an established character like the witcher or the Maas effect mc.

If I create a character from scratch which is a stand-in for me, I want nothing that pulls me out of the fantasy of me being it.

So in my opinion custom chars should be silent and origin chars should be voiced. But options to change that should be included.
