I will weigh in as yet another player who would prefer subtitles.

Better. (In the same way that it works for movies -- you get to hear the original inflections and passion and whatever; and maybe learn a bit too)

Faster. (No need to hold recording sessions, less delays like we are experiencing here)

Cheaper. (No need to hire voice talent, extra studio time, etc.)

Let subtitles become the norm. Especially in adventure games where text is most important, usually integral, and something we are used to ... and we are elitists.
