It's gotten very annoying. The reason you have a silent protagonist is so you can get crazy dialogue trees, but if everyone else is voiced you're right back to the two or three variations so they can superficially respond then put you back on topic.
To be fair a lot of RPGs have done both, I'm thinking Deus Ex and KotOR, but between the new Fallout games, and late era Bioware, it's clearly no longer a priority.
