1The latest dev diary for BioWare's MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic describes the challenges and payoffs of fully voicing all of the game's in-game NPC characters.
Such a massive undertaking requires plenty of voice actors, a dozen dialogue writers, and special voice directors, which hilariously must combine real-world dramatic guidance with the Star Wars lexicon.

It slows things down for the players who just want to get to the next thing.
Worse though, it makes development slower as typing up some quest text is easy. Scheduling people to come in do the dialogue and then getting it cut and in the database and then back in the game on the proper in NPC is SLOW

wont players get restless being forced to go through all these cutscenes?

MMOs arent about listening to NPCs talk about their feelings. mmos are about players messing with each other and killing/appeasing NPCs.
these glorified dialogue boxes are either going to succeed mildly or fail wholly because of wasting people's time (at least those who want to move along to the next thing)
Also those graphics are pretty weak overall even compared to some other MMOs recently. Come on, this is a PC-exclusive game made in two-thousand-freaking-nine. Let's not forget that powerful GPUs are insanely cheap now.
