Starfield Abandoning Voiced Protagonists Didn't Spell Doom For Its Two Stars

When Bethesda abandoned plans for a voiced protagonist in Starfield, it gave the hired voice actors other roles within the sci-fi epic, reportedly an unusual move in video game voice acting.

Voice actor Elias Toufexis tweeted that he and Cissy Jones were originally the player voices in Starfield. Once the developer decided not to go forward with player voices, it cast Toufexis as Sam Coe and Jones as Andreja. According to Toufexis, "Games NEVER do this. Once you're out you're out. Good on Bethesda." Toufexis added that the effort work (i.e. grunts, exclamations of pain, etc.) was still voiced by Jones and himself. Jones did not add further context, but retweeted Toufexis.

Yeah it’s true. @cissyspeaks and I were originally the player voices in #Starfield. We worked for months.
When they decided the player should be voiceless they gave Cissy and me Andreja and Sam Coe.
