Agreed. I'm used to the voice acting in games like KOTOR and JE so it's a step back for me when I load up BG or PS:T.
I'm not sure I'd enjoy a game nowadays that was made if it didn't have full voice spoken dialogue. The oldschool games are an exception since the rest of the game makes up for it, but I just couldn't see myself getting too interested in, say, Jade Empire if it was just written text rather than actual voice acting dialogue.
