Addition:
I have just found out that there has already been a survey about this in Early Access, and the majority voted for mute protagonist - which additionally baffles me. I guess I was spot on with my "detrimental old habits" assumption.
So I will correct my suggestion for the survey option into this:
Make the fully voiced protagonist anyway and implement it as an OPTION in the game settings. I would like my roleplay experience to actually be complete, as would many others (who were outvoted, apparently), I'm sure.
I realize this may be complicated to implement from the technical standpoint, but it shouldn't be impossible. Devs, correct me if I'm wrong. All I know is that it will definitely give even more credibility to an amazing game that has, let's be honest, set a new standard for the roleplay genre.
Please think about it.
