Come on, let's be serious about the main character having a voice. Think of how much disk space would be taken up with an individual speaking every single dialogue line available (especially as we want more choices!). Then double that cos you have toi have male and female. Then double that because I'd presume a DS voice should sound different to LS... The voice acting in Oblivion took up tons of disk space and added very little to the game immersion.
Happy to be corrected on this, but I don't think it's worth it - besides my other objections.
The diskspace isn't the issue. It's mostly the fact that the publisher will have to pay for the voice actors and recording. Bad voice acting will yield negative reviews, while no voice acting has become common and acceptable.
