It's interesting that this is still a thing. I'm wondering when it will occur to developers and publishers that these people are actors, and can do their jobs better if they know the story, and have other actors to play off of. They are not robots who can without context spit out lines with perfect cadence and emotion for the specific moment.

Bungie is guilty of this as well, at least with Destiny (I can't speak for Des2ny).

I have expressly not gotten voice acting roles because I knew the context of the game they were going to be used in.
