Starfield's Main Character Is Silent So The World Can Be Huge (kotaku.com)

Bethesda also says Starfield’s silent protag was partially inspired by fan reaction to Fallout 4

Starfield is a big game with hundreds of planets to explore and many sandwiches to collect. But while all the NPCs you’ll meet in Starfield have voices, the game’s main character doesn’t. Bethesda already confirmed this was the case last year, but has now shared more details about why it made this choice, revealing that originally Starfield had a talking protag and that ultimately cutting the main character’s voice helped the game grow in size.

It isn't a trend, it is standard for Bethesda games.
