They may as well just force us to play semi premade characters in the style of Mass effect and maybe the Witcher if they go this route. No thanks, this is DnD. It works for other games but not for this. Have optional character templates since apparently so many people have a hard time with creating characters, but that should be as far as it goes.
Bringing this somewhat back on topic, they would probably waste even more money on voice acting and we would be stuck with a voiced protagonist since we would only be "allowed" to pick certain paths for our characters. Having a probably incorrect voice, plus a given story for the protagonist would make it even more immersion breaking for me and many others who would like to rp "our" characters. Add in the ridiculous zoomed in cut scenes with a facial expression that doesn't belong, and now you are playing entirely someone not of your creation and possibly someone you don't want to play at all.
