The voiced protagonist concerns me too. A voice is nice if you like it. But the game is unbearable if you don't. I use custom voice mods for Oblivion and Skyrim, and they help make my characters come alive. When I can can find the voice to suit the character. But when I tried to play Molly Hatchet in Skyrim I couldn't get the right voice for her, and it made it difficult to play her.

If they have someone like Laura Bailey do the female PC that would probably be fine with me. But it is only a matter of time before that one voice is not going to fit one of my characters. Hopefully there will be alternate voice mods out by that time. Or a disabler like you mentioned (It should not be really difficult. Just record a second of silence, and use it to replace every voice file of the player character).

They also claim that they have a zillion different names recorded, so you will be able to hear your character's name spoken in the game. But I bet not a single one of the names I will use will be on that list.

I'm the same way on voices. The wrong voice can get on my nerves, too. But HOPEFULLY it will be easy enough to change out voice files to one you do like.

(I say "Hopefully" so carefully because of the stuff pulled on modding voices in Skyrim). If they do that to us again, I have the converter for Skyrim voice files and a bunch of spare female voice files warming up in the pan, lol.

But they might do it like they did ESO - where each race has its own set of 8 different female and male voices; and you get to listen to all their phrases and sounds in the gen when you are creating the character - choose which one you want.

I hope they do, because there are some of those voices they had sets of that I really wouldn't want to be stuck with on my character; in fact - in each set I only found 1-2 of the 8 voices that I could stand hearing over a whole game. So the odds are against them finding something I'll like too.

(but since FO4 will be modable, I'll be able to fix it if they don't choose well, lol).

There is one female guard in ESO that I would love to have voice files on, and never get sick of hearing it. Unfortunately, no way to find out whose voice that was to hunt down voice files for her,
