Famous Voice actors! : V - Skyrim

The only famous voice that should be included is the one that belongs to Bruce Campbell. That is all.

It doesn't really matter to me if they hire famous voice actors. What does matter, however, is the amount/quality of voice actors that they hire for the rest of the game. If hiring a famous voice actors means the rest of the VA's are horrible, I'd prefer they stayed away from them. If it doesn't, then I'm not opposed to it.

Bethesda has made a lot of money from their previous games, and judging by Zenimax's recent acquisitions, they're hardly strapped for cash. I think they could hire both competent voice actors, and a famous voice actor.

I wish bioware didn't have a monopoly on great voice actors

Max Von Sydow(all but confirmed)
James Earl Jones(Star Wars, Sandlot)... I think he'd be great as old Redguard warlord or something...
Ian McKellen(Lord of the Rings, X-Men)

We could add Christopher Lee and bankrupt Bethesda the next day.

Man... what a dream team: Tulsa Doom, Magneto, Saruman , and Old King from 'Conan Barbarian'.

Skyrim would have to earn $2 billion the first week end to break even.

Mark Sheppard. He makes everything better.

The guy who did elves voices in Oblivion should not be hired again, he was the most annoying voice ever, he just killed them.

Just like many people, I want there to be a lot of variety. Sure I want them to be good, but I still think this is one of those instances where Quantity should be equal to quality. I was tired of going across Cyrodil only to hear the same guy who just threatened to kill me like the apparent vicious mudcrabs that only I was missing. We need more people than twenty I think.

I'd like to see the Dunmer voice actors from Morrowind back.

If they must get a famous person to do some voices, let it be either Robin Williams or Jim Carey, at least we'll get a laugh out of it. But in all honesty, I would they got 20 or so unknown people to voice the game, rather than 6 famous people.

I thought this was a poll. No poll?

Id rather extra 'unnamed' voice actors to produce more work (assuming its of decent quality) for the same price it take to hire 'named' actors to play 1 part.

I want quality voice actors, and lots of them, I don't care if they are well known or not, we won't be seeing their face.
