The Elder Scrolls Online's Voice Cast Includes Monty Python, Harry Potter Actors

[CardinalPiggles]

I recognised John Cleese and Michael Gambon straight away. The voice acting in that game is shaping up to be absolutely stellar, hopefully across the board.

If I do decide to play it then maybe I'll actually bother listening to MMO dialogue for a change.

Unmatched left parenthesis - my day is ruined [http://xkcd.com/859/].

Cool voice cast, though. I already knew they had Michael Gambon 'cause I recognised his voice in one of the trailers. He has a very distinctive voice. Looking forward to hearing Femshep and Viktor in there too.

Woah, they got a lot of famous people to VA in this MMO. BUT, i get the feeling many will be small roles or cameos; probably too expensive to keep them too long.

clearly, nothing was learned form ToR at all.

cause, ya know, this worked out so well for them ...

Malcolm McDowell played Mancar Camoran, the main villain in Oblivion. And I thought I heard John Cleese while in beta!

No, Mankar Camoran was voiced by Terence Stamp.

Considering you speak to Cadwell for all of about 5 minutes in the tutorial area, it seems like a waste of John Cleese's talents.

Based on the fact that the video showed him voicing lines he does not say in the tutorial, I am fairly sure he returns later on.

Oh good, Another game in which I can listen to Jennifer Hale's breathy and over dramatic voice with people constantly reminding me about how amazing she is.

She sounds pretty good to me! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny-_xA_2SEE] Not a bad singer either.

Anyway, I hardly ever recognise celebrity voice overs unless they have a really distinct voice. I just hope the actors put a bit of effort into it, otherwise it's really distracting. I can't imagine John Cleese doing any more than the bare minimum.

Dang it. I was thinking of Fallour 3, wasn't I?
