Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General performance as narrative, or: how important is voice work to you?

I like initial voice followed by reading for games with lots of text on the screen (like Disco Eleysium and DOS2), as I read instead of listening anyway. In cinematic games like TW3 and DAO, good voice acting is essential.

I despise voiced protagonists in classic rpgs, but enjoy them when I play a predefined character. They have to be excellent tho. M and F commander Shepherd in ME, Geralt in TW3, and male Eivor in Ass Creed Valhalla were all exceptionally good. M and F Hawke in DA2 were both cringingly bad. It makes a difference for sure.
