Did voice acting ruin this franchise forever?

Did voice acting ruin this franchise forever?
Or will they return to silent protagonists?

Hopefully it goes back, I don't want Yes, Sarcasm, No (Yes) and Details again.

I think they'll go back to a silent protag.

Voiced protag and the dialogue wheel were some of the biggest complaints of FO4.

that wasn't because of voice acting that was so console players had an option for every button on their controller.

They'll never go back, normies at that shit up and think it makes the game more premium

>tfw the only way TESVI will interest you is if Bethesda steers completely away from their signature formula and does something entirely and completely fresh in every way
>tfw you know deep down in your gut it will be the same exhausted shit as FO4 and Skyrim, and you'll lose interest in it just as quickly because it will somehow manage to out-shallow FO4.

If you actually believe this you're retarded.

ive seen an interview where i think its todd or even that faggot pete hines, i dont remember which, borderline admitting that the voiced protag and options were a mistake and they just wanted to try something knew. hopefully they learn, but most likely not

But new vegas had voice acting and that's one of Sup Forums's favorite games

But sometimes there's only 3 options.

They're talking about the protagonist.

How?
Sometimes there's only one

That doesn't mean they won't keep the simplified dialog. They might just remove the VA

Simplistic TB combat killed the Franchise.
Voiced protag was a bad idea.

It both annoys me, yet impresses me how Fallout 4 managed to do so much shit that completely undermines the entire idea behind an RPG, while being crammed to shit with so many concepts of good ideas that were never brought to full fruition.

Every game Bethesda makes becomes more and more of a bastardized mess of an RPG / Action / Adventure game. Fallout 4 has one of the worst identity crisis' of any game ever.

Who cares anymore?

They'll find something even worse to piss everyone off.
And the next game will be even less of an rpg.

That mod really exposes what an absolute fucking sham the dialogue "choices" are.

Dialogue choices in that game were useless. They should have removed them and turned the game into a pure fps spinoff, focusing entirely on the gunplay and scrapping all the remaining rpg elements. Story was utter shit anyway, and at least people wouldn't have been misled.

FO5 will exclusively be a settlement builder
Every once in a while, you'll be sent on quests to gather resources
Then you come back and keep building

It's basically the Sims 3 in a post-post-apocalyptic setting

Voice acting ruined video games forever. Fallout 4 was just the latest instance.

stop it user

So basically the same thing as FO4?

They came out and admitted that the voiced protag and the forced backstory was a bad idea, they already said they wouldn't be putting a voiced protag in the next game.

>game lets you look like anyone
>lets you choose your race, age, gender, even scars and tattoos
>you can customize your abilities both physical and mental
>choose which areas of expertise and life skills you possess
>make moral decisions to determine how good or evil you are
>but your voice has to sound like this exact man or this exact woman
This is my major peeve with voice acting in games like Fallout: voice is always the least customizable character feature and it imposes heavy restrictions on not only the player's roleplaying, but also the degree of freedom the developers can give to the player.

Why is his hat so big?

Don't forget a bunch of dialogue references you being in a quest to find your child so no matter what character you make you're still playing as the one Bethesda intended.

They already said voice acting was fucky and they didn't like the end result so I doubt we'll get another fallout (or TES) with voice acting.

Not to say they won't potentially try it again with those two mysterious IPs they're working on.

>fucking xbox heug hat zOMGBBQSauske and other lame internets phrases from 2005
Looks about right for the type and era it's pretending to be.

nou

?? I've only ever played 3, NV and 4 but they all have that? 3 is looking for your dad and in NV you were a courier with a past/history with Ulysses etc so why are you whining about that? What do you want? A legit blank slate of a character lmao. The fact that fallout fans complain about a voiced lead is fucking retarded.. silent ones suck I can understand complaining about lack of choices but every franchise of late is suffering in that degree
