Character voice?
I don't care about Body Type 1/2, but I can't find any option to set the character voice. Is there any? I don't want my Type 1 character to sound like a dude when taking damage...

I couldn't find it either. I'm afraid to leave the sewer because I'll be stuck with it.

They have never given a option for voice in these games

No character voice in game.
Beyond grunts, your character does not speak.

Yeah, but my character clearly has a Body Type 2 voice actor doing the grunting while I'm playing a Body Type 1. None of the Body Type 1 people I've met in real life sound like this.

Pretty sure they don't have an option because the voice depends on the body type. This doesn't seem to be the case in the remake. I don't mind -optional- inclusion, but this feels like they wanted to force characters to be non-binary. That's kinda annoying.

I'm pretty sure this is just Bethesda being negligent/buggy as usual and forgetting to enable the female voice. Or maybe the remaster was rushed so fast they couldn't find some female intern to make "urgh", "agh!" sounds for 20 seconds.

Assuming the voice based on the body type would totally defeat the purpose of having gender-neutral body types. That's why I don't think this is a bug.

Yeah it's a bug because the game assigns you a male or female gender based on your character background choice not your body type choice.

Guys I played the original and my female character always had a manly voice so I don't think this is new or has anything to do with type 1 or 2 body.

It also depends on the race you pick, I believe.
This is a common misconception. No, your character doesn't have a male voice. The VA for the female elves was in her fifties and has a husky battle cry. There is no option to change it as there also wasn't in the original.

The voices are not changed by your background either, as some people keep saying.
