Wes Johnson (Imperial voice) hasn't done voiceovers yet. : V - Skyrim

» Tue Mar 01, 2011 12:08 pm

*crosses fingers*

maybe this means that Skyrim will actually have some unvoiced, onscreen dialogue during speech.

Sarcasm? Hard to tell sometimes... you never know around here.

I hope he's in the game. I'm guessing the voice work is the 2nd to last thing that they add into the game. Wes did a really good job with Oblivion including doing the voice for Sheogorath.

So many good quotes :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

"Wonderful! Time for a celebration... Cheese for everyone! Wait, Scratch that. Cheese for no one. That can be just as much of a celebration, if you don't like cheese. True? You've run a maze like a good little rat, but no cheese for you yet. Well, maybe a little."

:celebration:

I'd be dumbfounded if he didn't appear in some role in Skyrim. He's local, it wouldn't be far for him to travel to Rockville and who's to say that he wouldn't mind doing it again. Also somebody at Bethesda is probably a Capitals fan. :biggrin:

I didn't know he dead voices for RDR. Who was he?

This is worrisome. Has he even been contacted yet? Why has max von sydow voiced all of esbern's lines then if they are still working out quests?

Max is a special case, his character will probably be involved in only the main quest and his dialoge is probably not that long.

...? Do you think they just record every bit of voice acting in a week? No, it's a on going process. Just as creating, writing and implementing the content that goes along with those voices is a on going process.

No, it's not. Cyrodiil is the province. That's like saying "Good people of the CITY of Canada" The city would be the Imperial City.

When the series first started it was the city of Cyrodiil in the Imperial Province.

Wes Johnson's a great voice actor. You can tell he's one of those people who's genuinely enthused about his work and really enjoys video games on top of that, whereas many of the people casted for video games just kick their work to the curb and then never mention it again.

EDIT: By the way, did he voice Dagoth Ur?

We aren't talking minor characters here. We are talking imperials which are a main race.

Interesting. Though, it is no longer. So, I stand by my correction in the context of the games as they are now.

@Dragonborn1 Nobody said he was playing a minor character? He also played Lucien Lachance and Sheogorath. Both major characters. For all we know he's not voicing a entire race this time around.

» Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:38 pm

Something to ponder but I remember Gstaff making this point when we heard that Wes Johnson wasn't going to be in Fallout New Vegas

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1120601-new-vegas-voice-actors/page__hl__wes+johnson__st__60

It's the end part of Gstaff's post (It's number 70) that says "We are still big fans of his work".

Exactly. If he isn't voicing minor characters he should have been contacted already.

Maybe somebody should send a tweet or message to somebody from Bethesda asking nicely if Wes Johnson might have some role in Skyrim. I'm pretty sure he'll be in the game.

I'll tweet pete. They said they will have a lot more voice actors than oblivion so I find it just weird wes hasn't been contacted. Are they going to be able to meet the release date?

Yeah easily, the interview that Todd did in I think last August he said that the current project, (Which we now know is Skyrim). He said that they had done a lot and if he had the ok from Pete he could've show some of it off. Trust me I have faith that Bethesda is on schedule maybe even ahead of schedule.

Thanks man. Easing my mind a little bit haha!

No, it's not. Cyrodiil is the province. That's like saying "Good people of the CITY of Canada" The city would be the Imperial City.

No, it is. Imperial and Cyrodiil are both correct. It is the name whence the province and the people are derived. The city wasn't always the center of Empire, after all. Cyrodilics haven't always been "Imperials," either.

Cyrodilic history truly begins by the middle of the Alessian Reformation (see sidebar, Alessian Order), when civilization and cultivation had allowed the region to emerge as a discernible Tamrielic power. Its culture and military strength centered in the sacred Nibenay Valley, a grassland expanse with a vast lake at its heart. Several small islands rose from this lake, and the capital city sprawled across them, crisscrossed with bridges and gondola ferries. Rivers connected the city-state to both its profitable outlying territories and the friendly inland ports of Skyrim and Pellitine.

You must understand, Cyrodiil was a land of many races, many nations, many tribes, before their unification. Cyrodiil hasn't always been the land named Cyrodiil, and its people have not always been Cyrodilic. The city from which Cyrodiil grew is Cyrodiil.

I understand that's what it used to be called. I'm not arguing that. I'm saying it is no longer called that just like how it would be incorrect in the context of today to use Czechoslovakia. That country has now split into two separate countries known as The Czech Republic, and Slovakia. :shrug:

Yes really. Cyrodiil is not the name of a city anymore. [censored] forgive me for using terms as they are now in the games and not brushing up on my past lore. Jesus.

Lol I'm just saying, give the guy a break maybe? This forum gets ridiculous sometimes with nit-picking.

The voice work is usually one of the last things that are done with the game, after all the writers have finetuned all their stuff. I guess they put focus on Max von Sydow stuff to be able to announce the game with a bang.

Indeed.

The castle Daggerfall is located in the city Daggerfall in the province of Daggerfall in the game known as Daggerfall.

The province is High Rock.
