There's actually something a bit funny about Mass Effect here. When you're first rolling up your Shepard in the first game, you get to choose some options about his/her background.

That is way more consequential to the idea of RP'ing in Mass Effect than the Lone Survivor of Fallout 4 having a voice

At best, you are making an iteration of a character that was already decided for you in every respect. No matter what strengths and weaknesses you apply, guard rails are in place in the video game space to ensure your success and experience with a story.
