I definitely prefer voice acted RPGs to ones that are text only. It's not that I mind reading, I'm an avid reader, but I like me some voice acting. It also helps when you play split screen with another person. Sure beats having to constantly ask if your partner is done reading before hitting continue. I find it helps immerse me in the narrative more as well. I'm very glad they got the voice acting in DOS 2. Would have felt like the game was downgraded from the EE otherwise.
