The voice in trailer : V

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:46 am

I just found out that the voice in the Trailer is the voice of Swedish actor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_von_Sydow, an actor who worked with Ingmar Bergman on movies like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seventh_Seal. I just wanted to point this out since i tought it was a really cool choice for an actor and I'm not sure how many are aware of this!

This may be a slight SPOILER

Max von Sydow also voice the character Esbern in the game, a former blade, and apparently hes of great help for the player as the game progress. You can see an interview with the sound designer of Skyrim talking about Esbern and von Sydows voice acting on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NtjtgiWbkg .

EDIT: I know this is old news for some but I can't be the only one who missed it! Feel free to keep pointing out that it's old news but do know i got the message the first time

You are sooo bOLD to post this gOLDen news.

No offense, but if you had been paying attention to the "Sounds of Skyrim" video, the guy mentions his name multiple times. And that was a month ago. AND people had already known since like two days after the trailer.

As a swede and a lifelong fan of his, I recognized his voice straight away.
Other than his work with Ingmar Bergman, people around here will probably know him for The Exorcist, and some recent roles in Robin Hood and Shutter Island.

I can already tell that his presence in the game will enhance my experience, so yeah, I'm very happy with Bethesdas choice.

Couldn't agree more, his voice fits perfectly as he's accent is not exaggerated, you can tell he's some sort of Scandinavian but they are not beating you over the head with it.
