I agree with most you said. Now this will become a debate again about Voiced PC, but I agree with you. It is immersion breaking when EVERYTHING is so cinematic and then your character is mute. It's different in games with top down views only OR something like Origins which during most dialogue isn't...exactly the most cinematic thing. On some big plot moments sure, but not always. This game does though and it feels really off. I'm not a big fan of no voiced main character in games that rely heavily on cinematic feels. (in this games instance, goes for origin and custom characters).

I also already made a thread about Custom Character being the most blandest thing in the history. Like they didn't exist at all before the game. What was your character doing before all this? ANYTHING?!

Even the most blankest characters in RPGs/CRPGs have something. Pillars had a character going to another city and a mandatory NPC asked you about your past and you could answer in multiple ways, giving your character an actual backstory that didn't rely on headcanon. Same with Fallout NV which is considered an amazing RPG by majority, has something. You were a courier. This game virtually has nothing except sometimes the drow underdark or baldurian thing but that's...just not you as a character, that's just race. It's not exactly unique.
