Hopefully there won't be heavily defined main character like Geralt, I prefer to see more of a 'create your own hero' approach to give it more choices and replayability.

Why ? So that the character may have no expression, be totaly souless and the story can be super badly written like in Fallout 4 and everybody will say its OK cause they got to "chose theyre own story" ? If its not a defined character go the Shepard/Inquisitor route, where the character was defined but you could change its apearence, otherwise its a recipe to deliver terrible storylines and uninteresing main characters.

Have you ever played old school tabletop RPG's at all?, because the majority of those require you to make up your own character, behaviour, backstory etc, everything to make you immersed in the game using your imagination, that's mostly how some western RPG's work like with Kingdom of Amalur, Fallout, Elder Scrolls etc. As far as we know CDPR hasn't given us a single defined character nor presented one that will represent the game or being part of the story which leads me to believe it's going to be like a Western table top style in which you make up your own character with traits and added details, different voices while still having the dialogue wheel.

The thing to also take not of is that some folk do like making up their own characters and in the recent case of Fallout 4, not all fans were happy with having their character talk since they used their imagination to add to the game to immerse themselves which again is part of tabletop RPG gaming which also happened to make it;s way into video games and is a legit thing, it's not a poor design choice or flaw either. Those that dislike silent characters are most likely going to have to put up with them or go with something else, Mass Effect has a new title coming so that can tide over fans of predefined characters with set voices.
