I'm just saying, that's a lot of work to record and add in every bit of player character dialog (male and female character voices). It still takes development time to go through and make sure the dialog animations don't look (too) messed up and make sure characters aren't talking over eachother and things like that.
There's also the fact that during game development, dialogs can change. Which means if an earlier version of a dialog was recorded, it needs to be re-recorded. It's an extra layer of hassle compared to just changing a text box.
Part of the reason most RPGs don't do voiced player dialog is the amount of extra work it takes. The end result in Fallout 4 was underwhelming because of the writing, but it was still a lot of (potentially misguided) effort to have everything voiced.
