Loverslab is the manifestation of playground sexual rumor mill, staffed exclusively by perverts who have never had sex and have thus spent their entire lives developing sexual deviancies that spiral ever-downward in something of a hopeless struggle to keep relentless masturbation entertaining, as well as misogynistic precepts that justify their incel status by reducing the opposite sex to the bleakest sense of disposable satisfaction.

But my #1 favorite voiced protagonist thing is probably how you read a genuinely funny line on the subtitle first and go to laugh and then your character says it and it's the most loving boring deadpan delivery because the voice director told them they can't be too emotive since they have to represent every possible character

Yeah, because she's an NPC and supposed to have a personality and motivations of her own. Shepard is supposed to be a player character but has only one voice and only two possible responses to every situation that don't really work at all if you try to alternate between them because they're diametrically opposed. That's Voiced Protagonists, Baby!

She really does, I love her. That's why it's a shame she was given the impossible and unasked-for task of embodying all conceivable player avatars instead of being given a starring role as a companion or even the main villain, something where you can stretch your legs instead of saying "What's this?" in a cramped recording booth for four hours

My problem with voiced protagonist with a more defined backstory is that it feels like they're kinda half-assing it. I don't mind playing as a predefined characters or a total blank, but having this weird in-between existence is kind of awkward. I don't trust Bethesda to make my dialog wheel have enough options for properly roleplaying, but I also don't trust them enough to have the dialog wheel put out a definitive personality. It's just this really odd wishy-washy way of making a character. Admittedly, my fears are mostly based on assumptions of Bethesda's incompetence, but I feel they are reasonably well founded at this point. Edit: Like, the Shepard example it was clearly like a total of four possible characters you could make: two genders, good or evil. And the character would be reasonably well defined if you stuck to those. I don't trust Bethesda to have even that, not with options like GET FOOD and WHERE'S EVERYONE.

The male voice actor seems to be notable in that he voices mooks and is a knockoff voice actor for acting talent from movies. Weird, since she is actually pretty recognizable. though he voices roland in Halo 4 or whatever, whoever that dude is.

I really just wish they'd spring for some additional talent - they've literally been using the same 4-5 people since Oblivion. The Vault-Tec guy at the beginning has the same VA as like half the men in FO3. At least it's gotten better in that they now mix them up a bit (everyone of the same gender/race in Oblivion was voiced by 1 person) but there's still a few instances where dead obvious the same lines are being used over and over again. I'm pretty sure every old woman in FO3 is voiced by the same person. Or old women just sound all the same.

I don't really have any intrinsic issues with their overarching design choices but they have yet to prove they can implement them in a way that isn't mediocre at best.
