Favourite and least favourite voices of Skyrim?

Post » Mon Dec 12, 2011 8:54 pm

My favourite would have to be Brynjolf of the Thieves guild. Perfectly suited cheeky chappy voice for his role. Delvin would be a close second. Keep expecting someone to say "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" when I'm around those two. :lol:

My least favourite ATM would have to be Farengar. His whole 'I'm better than you' attitude when he speaks really makes me want to pop an arrow in his ass. :flame:

Whose voices have you come to love or hate while playing?

I agree with disliking farengar's voice. There's just something.....off about it. It's read in a really bland way without any sort of intonation, just read straight off some piece of paper.

That being said, every single khajiit voice in the game is incredible, all of the work on the voices of the Daedric princes was excellent too. (particularly a certain prince of madness...)

Stephen Russell.Just because he sometimes does the voice of Garrett.Oh and the guy who does the argonian voices is pretty cool too.And the khajit's accent is cool.But I HATE the guards voices.The other sounds Arnold the other sounds wimpy.Also the voice actor who tries to do a nordic accent is [censored] annoying.

The Jarl's wizard in whiterun. He, and the other people voiced by that guy, just sound intelligent, calm, mature. After those boisterous and ignorant and accusatory voices out there, his neutral yet inviting speech makes for some lovely respite.

He doesn't make me calm! In fact he has come very close to having an axe buried in his forehead with some of his remarks. The cheeky little so and so.. :flame:

female nord voice is my favorite... that accent is just so. damn. sixy :hubbahubba: .

least favorite would be nazir from the DB. he sounds like three dog had a stroke and lost the ability to emote with words... he just sounds SO god awfully phoned in. the worst part is that i LOVED three dog, and this guy basically ruins the voice for me...

I have to say I found Sven singing to be pretty awesome... and now I feel shame... but I love the Khajiit voices even more :D

My least favorite voices are the dude that does the Arnold voice and the dude that does the voice for Balethor, all of their work should be scrapped because they are HORRIBLE for a TES game, really I hate having to hear them and the Arnold voice while funny perhaps if it was just an easter egg is highly annoying when nearly every single guard has it, and any voice like Balethor sticks out like a soar thumb and generally sounds bad, even just having silence and seeing the lips move without any noise is better than to listen to that.

Really I apologize to whoever did the voice for Balethor, it's not a bad voice for other games, it's just horrible for the mood of a TES game. His voice is more fitting for something like Fallout or an old western themed game or something like that.

Ralof from Unbound. That alone was enough to walk towards the Imperial side. Realizing the story and lore, I am glad I am against Ulfric.

Farengar is the worst on my list. His lines and his voice put together are just...horrid.

Ancano has a sixy voice :P

& Irileth's voice is great for the personality they portrayed her as having.

Favorite would be the female Nord innkeeper voice, it makes me melt.
Another favorite of course is M'aiq the Liar.

Least favorite probably the kids, they sound all the same.

I just thought of one who I haven't made my mind upon yet. Karliah! What is going on there? I have to turn the blummin sound up on the TV every time she speaks! :lol:

She is sweet though so will let her off. :evil:

The Khajiits are cool.. the religious freak in Whiterun.. and Jarl Ravencrone..

and like someone else mentioned elsewhere, I wish they had made more use of Gideon Emery (Fenris/Balthier).

Barbas, Sheogorath and the voice that Arvel The Swift has are my favorite, I [censored] hate the guard voice complaining about an arrow in his knee

Theres alot that I like and alot that I dont like, but generally:

1, I hate those who try to do a "nordic accent" which in every case has turned into crap.
2, I hate the dunmer woman voice, sounds like whoever did it had something stuck in their throat.
3, I hate the guards voices, mostly due to #1 but also because they get really repetitive.

That Olfina Gray-Mane lady has a nice voice, and also Astrid.

The guards in general and Farengar Secret-Fire are just absolutely awful.

The Khajits were really soothing to listen to. It's quite amazing how subtle they were with those creatures, giving that race an air of mystique.

Argonians were pretty cool too in that they were different without going overboard with it.

I'm not entirely sure of this, but the Male High Elfs of the Aldmeri Dominion, are they voiced by the guy who did them in Oblivion? If so, he's really got the hang of things, not that it's great.

Christopher Plummer blows me off of me feet. Max von Sydow sort of disappointed me. There's such a stark contrast in how Esbern speaks with the rest of them, and this extends to his character as well.

That Wizard at Dragonsreach (who is also elsewhere), I can see him reading the lines. He really should have done more takes.

More of the "tougher" races sound rather strained, like Dunmer and Orcs. Nord Women are fine though (because they're not Lynda Carter, haven't found her yet).

Karliah would probably be my favorite, though the khajiit are awesome, and for some reason I like the stuck up female altmer voice.

Least favorite has to be Barbas/Mercer/about a dozen others all voiced by the same guy.
