Kinda but it really limited dialogue.
At least Bethesda let it limit the dialogue anyhow. Todd admitted it was kind of a mistake on their part and they didn't do the idea justice.

I would have if:
It had been a little customizable
They hadn't forced a specific type of character on you

Not really possible to play the character you want with so much of your dialogue, etc. predetermined.

Does he go "This lock is too difficult for me!" or something out loud when he doesn't have enough lockpick?
I can't remember if that was real or a joke me and a few people had when it first came out.

The voiced protagonists themselves weren't what limited dialogue. What limited dialogue was the system they chose where everything just has four ways to say the same thing.

Their voices were fine, it's just the dialogue and writing were subpar, which you can't really blame the voice actor/actress for.

Hmm. No, because it made every playthrough feel samey. No matter what kind of guy I was trying to be, he always had the same voice.

But I can't figure out why I have that issue with fallout 4 but not with the mass effect trilogy. Or even dragon age inquisition if I reuse a voice.

Yeah, the writing is bad but if youre just a huge dick to everyone with the Male sole survivor its really great lol.

Probably some of my favorite voice acting in games.

Having a voiced protagonist is nothing new. They way some of theirlines were delivered didn't really fit with the scene. I expect Starfield to make the same mistake.

I do not like any of the voices because most npcs had their sweetrolls taken away
decent combat and great mods salvage the rest of the game

Yes. But I had the benefit of always playing as a female PC, and every account I've heard over the years indicates that the female Sole Survivor's VA is considerably superior to the male one.

The dialogue system is definitely one of the game's weakest points, but that's not the fault of having a voiced protag.

Eh, i wouldnt say one is better than the other. The female VA is more empathetic while the male VA is more dickish. They fit depending on what youre going for.
