Does the Custom Character talk?

[Leeroy]

I just noticed that we had 8 different voices to choose from in character creation. But I don't recall ever hearing my character say anything so far.

The Voice you choose is used for every out of Dialogue situation where your character comments on something, for example if they found a hidden button via passive perception check.

Yeah he talks but not in cutscenes, it's like 20 lines that are played over and over while you do stuff.

There are some rare ones too, like yesterday I had him say "I think shadowheart wants to talk to them" and I can't figure out what triggered it lol

I meant in dialogue or during cutscenes. I noticed all the other characters are fully voice acted so I was wondering if the custom character is too

No voiced dialog or cutscenes, but there are in-game lines spoken.

It would have been nice, but I don't blame them for not doing it, that would be an astronomical amount of voice acting for 1 voice never mind all of them.

"should have wished to live in more interesting times" - wtf is this line even supposed to mean? Such a weird spammable voice line lol

They'll sometimes chime in during overworld chats with the party, but otherwise there isn't real voice overs during dialogue from your character, even if you're playing the fully voiced origin chars.

Shouldn't* have wished...MC remarking about how chaotic the time they're living in...isn't something to wish for.

People seem to complain one way or the other no matter what you do, people are applauding that Starfield is going back to silent protagonists, others want mass effect Shepards....etc...

No. None of them will speak during dialogue or cutscenes if they're the "main" ones.

I swear I've seen a youtube clip of the PC saying something in cutscene (like how a party member would chime in on their opinions) but ive NEVER experienced it myself, which seems like its the same for most people

"Shouldn't", not "should". It's about that English expression (falsely and commonly claimed to be a Chinese curse) "May you live in interesting times". I'm sure you can figure out the rest.
