Financially, we're paying now, so there is an income stream.

And if you don't like the character voices, I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to turn them off in your audio configuration settings - in fact I think the option is already there.
If you knew how much voice actors cost for QUALITY voice acting of any kind, and how much people expect...you'd understand the concern quite clearly.

Why do you think new gen games suffer in some depart? You don't have unlimited funds to go around to everything lol. This is why Skyrim is ugly as sin even on ultra, the design themselves are low quality because they spent a lot of money on other stuff.
