    Playing as a silent protagonist

    Just a post to focus on the silent protagonist would it be a ton more fun with voiced options ?......

    Options are always good, but even with them I'd play with voice off. I can speak for myself, and even though the NPCs won't respond, it still allows me to say what I want. I'm really not keen on having a character that reads lines from a script, as it only reminds me the character isn't me. We as players are in control of what our character does (forced captures aside) so I think it's silly to give them a voice, which almost certainly doesn't match your own, and have them say things that are out of character for yourself.

    Yeah, while i prefer I a voiced Character, I get the idea of immersion being more if you are playing your Avatar.
    Buggers it up a bit though if the game isnt joined up around multi gender options.

    The Tattoo/Carving scene didnt register with me at all being stale pale and male.

    Weirdly enough, me being called "Rook(ie)" was breaking immersion for me a bit, because I'm not used to being addressed like that. Had less problems with Deputy though. :P
