Your favorite voice acting in games

Post » Tue May 06, 2014 9:09 pm

Which video game character impressed you the most with his/her voice acting?

What about disappointment, did you ever wish a character had some other voice actor, and in that case, which would be your favorite voice actor for a particular character that you like?

In my case the voice acting for Garrett in Thief was fantastic and a big part not only to the protagonist character, but to the entire narrative, the voice acting fits Garrett's personality so well and motivates me to roleplay, to be him. Such a shame that they changed the voice actor for the series reboot :down:

Another voice that I totally loved was Emperor uriel Septim (Patrick Stewart) in Oblivion, too bad he

Spoiler
had such short role in that game

Troy Baker is one that I particularly like based on his work as The Joker in the Arkham Origins as well as Joel from The Last of Us. Such different roles but he did them so well. He has range as well as skill.

Another would be Elias Toufexis, who played Adam Jensen in Deus Ex Human Revolution. He pretty much made the character for me - his raspy voice sounds really badass and though the character is calm and collected through most of the game, his emotional outburst towards the end was very believable. Apart from that, I enjoyed his work in Splinter Cell Blacklist as well. He shows his range when playing the character like he did in that as well as his accent as Fredrico Auditore in Assassin's Creed II.

Oh yes also, how can I forget our very own Wes Johnson? He did many voices in TES Oblivion but my favorite was him as Lucien Lechance. I love his big, booming voice being dialled down to almost hissing.

JC Denton (Deus Ex) > badass voice :rock:

Speaking of TES: Oblivion, wish the male dark elves in had a proper voice instead of a joke.

Female: Lara Croft in Legend/Anniversary/Underworld. I'm not a fan of the "new" 2013 Lara.

Let's see...

Nolan North in several games
Troy Baker as Joel, Delsin Rowe, Booker DeWitt, etc
David Hayter as Naked/Solid Snake
Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher
James McCaffrey as Max Payne

Ironside got replaced in SC: Blacklist, as did Hayter in MGS V. I can understand why Hayter got replaced but it really blows that Ubisoft got rid of Ironside.

Also Liam Neeson in Fallout 3 as James. That was awesome.

I agree, he had me so hyped from the trailer. Is the spoiler still needed for a 2006 game?
