Why do devs bother adding voice acting to normal dialogue? If

See "voice acting" actually has to involve voices, which is something that copy-pasted encyclopedia entries that they repeat for 99.9% of NPC's doesn't exactly qualify as.

No I don't. You want dialogue done right look at Oblivion, which is a marvel of video game design, and objectively the best RPG ever conceived

That one VA in obliv who screwed up a line of dialogue and was like 'Oh that was crap(?) let me do that one again' heh

It's like you didn't even read the post. Morrowind has no voice acting where it's not needed, when you're talking to NPCs for info, quests, etc. It has voice acting in cutscenes, during battle, and when you're walking around and NPCs throw random insults at you. Perfection.

>I always cut off the voice line early so I can read the next line
On one hand dry text without voice acting makes everything lifeless, but I also can't deny I do this

Some games have only important lines voiced, so how about making it just the first line, and just the text for the rest which player will skip anyways? I'd rather have more complex conversations than a voice over for everything but simplistic and linear conversations like in skyrim or F4
