Bill Cosby?

Michael Wincott rocks, nuff said. It would be cool to have some "genre-specific" actors involved, like Sean Bean (done!), Christopher Lee, Jennifer Hale, or even a Viggo Mortenson. ABSOLUTELY NO ORLANDO BLOOM! He's the only British guy I know who sounds like he's faking the accent! lol. Maybe Antonio Banderas (Zorro), he has a really definitive latino accent, which has been missing from TES, mostly.

"Gun" had good work from Brad Dourif, Kris Kristofferson (RIP), Lance Henrikson, and Thomas Jane. I think celeb voices are fun, but they don't necessarily have to be big names.

I have no prob with celebrity voices, it's actually kind of cool. I don't think you can blame the lack of dialogue diversity on the expense of hiring celeb voices, either. The dialogue must be programmed anyway, the celeb thing is just icing. If it comes down to celeb voices vs. better gameplay? Gameplay all the way. But a lot of games have budgets as big or bigger than a lot of movies. I'd say follow this formula: Hire celeb voices ONLY if you plan on spending the money to do that AND make an innovative game. Do not sacrifice one for the other.

Please turn your attention to the Additional Voice Actors.

None, I'd rather have more voices among races.

Someone brought up earlier that professional voice actors would be better than big name screen actors. I agree, so let's get Reuben Langdon, Yuri Lowenthal and Kyle Herbert in here, eh?

If he wasn't dead I'd want Billy Mays to be a voice.

Yeah, his pitchman routine would be a funny easter egg for marketplaces.

Steve Valentine, Morgan Freeman, Cate Blanchett are a few.

None, but if you wanted celebrity voices, just get Frank Caliendo.

Anthony Hopkins would be great

Anthony Hopkins as the emporer: "Perhaps the gods have placed you here so that you and I can eat your liver with some farvor beans and a nice ciantee".

Sean Bean, not because he's a celebrity but because his voice kicks ass.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719115/, or Duncan from Dragon Age. Just see how many NPCs/movie characters he's given voice! Impressive. Everyone likes him cause he sounds so cool.

Just use pro voice actors, NOT famous movie actors who know nothing of voice acting.

Morgan Freeman for Titus Mede/ Attrebus.

Bill Cosby!

No, but seriously, as long as the voices don't all sound the same, (hint hint, voice actors are trained to use many different voices)

I'd be fine with it.

How many voice actors did Fallout 3 have? Because when I was playing that game I didn't really notice everybody sounding the same.

Maybe there could be 3 different voices for each race, just to mix it up a bit, and each person is set to have 1 kind of voice.

That way we can choose what kind of voice we want too. :nod:

Robert Downey Jr, Paul Bettany, Stephen Colbert(lol) , Ewan Mcgregor would do very well. Denzel Washington, Harrison Fore, Mel Gibson, John Travolta. Bruce Willis, Johnny Depp. Those are just my ideas, obviuosly some would play the characters mentor rather well, some would play his best freind really well, some would play him really well ( look at Mass Effect). They need to pick a couple that would work well together make make a great voice for the game.

As with many others, I'd prefer them to spend the budget elsewhere. That being said, if I HAD to choose, John Hurt has an awesome voice, would go well for an elderly mage or something.

i think chuck norris could definatly bring something to the table :toughninja:

ha!!! Maybe the gods have placed you here so we could meet... with the pudding and the daedra and ghost dad!

I must agree with the no actors post, but...
I would enjoy the voice of Johny Depp, since he showed off his voice skills in many movies already.
Sean Bean again would be nice to, he does roch.
Or Ian Mckellen, cause his voice is very smexxy

I...vote...for! William. Shatner?

Yeah, you go to see the Emperor, and he's dead-on George W Bush and the Head Blades Trainer is John Madden. That will sell a lot of games,lol.

Maybe the Charles Barkley "that's trrble" whenever a Daedra slaughters somebody would be awesome, though.

I second the William Shatner in all seriousness. Make him an NPC named "The Captain" who is a delusional old man who thinks he is the most awesome person alive.

Shah Rukh Khan.

Although they should rather spend their money on something useful.
