Fallout/Elder Scrolls fans: are you a fan of a talking player character moving forward?

So I love Fallout 4, but it's clear I don't revere it as much as I do 3 and NV. Been trying to pin it down to the main reasons why, one of them I think is the landscape is mostly empty of enemies. I feel like you can walk around a long time and simply not come across anything. In the other 2, I felt I was constantly on the lookout for at least rad scorpions, boatflies, and more raiders than I come across in 4.

Anyways, that's one thing, but my character being able to talk, while not really bothering me that much, seemed to change the experience a lot for me as well. Probably not "worse", just different. And when I think about it, I feel I almost prefer he/she not to talk. Just let me pick from the dialogue tree and the NPC can go from there. And someone remind me, did you have an option during character creation to pick a voice? I want to say no, but I might have missed it. But you go through the effort to create your character, but they are going to sound the same. Like I said, didn't ruin the game for me, but if I had the choice, I'd probably prefer to go without.


So going forward with these two series, if this is something Bethesda will run with, how do you feel about it? Could be trickier with ES since you can pick elves and cat/lizard people, along with trolls, so having one set voice probably wouldn't work.
