First of all, I don't like when my PC is voiced. Or it depends. It's fine, when the character I am playing is predetermined - like Geralt. Then again, I don't really consider Witcher3 to be RPG - more of an action game with RPG elements. Giving voice to PC, is definining them, and therefore taking away my choice as a player - it's a bit like cutscenes taking away my control of the character. It is great is some instances, but inappropriate in games that prioritise immersion and player imput - like immersive sims. So if game asks me to create my own character, I don't think it should force a voice on this character. Giving voice to my PC automatically creates a barrier.
I agree with you, but I think if games continue to progress sooner or later they will have voice sliders and lots of options for the player character, so they will only need a few people to voice your PC, but you can make the voice sound the way you want. I don't think your PC will go into a full blown speech by any means, but I think maybe devs will want it to feel like you are interacting with companions and other NPCs a little more.
