There is a difference between having voice acting and having the player character having voiced lines too. Tbh I don't know what makes the latter worse. But usually when the player character has voice acting it is not received well.
In BG3, your character does not have voiced lines even if you pick a premade.
There's the loss of immersion / the way they might pronounce stuff not matching what you as the player feel emotionally but the main thing is you have to record every sentence for every single dialog in the game. From the big bad buy to the random NPC with a two-sentences exchange. If you don't the lack of voice acting compared to the other dialogues will be felt. This costs a lot, and can even result in decreasing the variety of the PC's dialog.
Also anyone wanting to make complex mods will either have to have a new voice for the PC for their mod; or have them be silent, which will again be jarring.
Yeah like the other person said, the comparison with Fallout 4 is being made for a reason. The point is a voiced protagonist, not voice acting as a whole
Honestly, the more I think about it... Can the folks that did Pathologic 2 put together a V:tM game? Because I feel like they're both on the same frequency.
BG3 has voice acting and it's easily on par with V:tM Bloodlines.
Idk if that's going to save this too-edgy-by-half remix of 90s-era punk horror. But it's not the kiss of death you guys are making it out to be.

Ah, fair enough.

I guess. At some point, I'm just looking for a good story with a nice polished veneer.
More annoyed that, in the year of our Lord 2023, its this fucking hard to reskin ME/Fallout 3 as Gothic Horror and get it out the door.
