Plummer actually has more voice acting experience. He was in Up, amongst others.
Gandahar / Light Years, the latter being the English title, and thus the version that Plummer lent is voice to. A far better movie than I gave it credit for when I watched it. Not that it was GREAT, mind you, far from it. Just better than I realized while watching it since I kept thinking about it later. |

I really don't care about how much the actor costs, I'm more concerned with how notable their voice is. In Oblivion, for example, it wasn't the King I was listening to, it was Patrick Stewart. I couldn't suspend my disbelief on that one. It wasn't quite as bad in ME2, although I remember Adam Baldwin standing out.
Hopefully I won't have any difficulties with Skyrim, but it'd be rather annoying if I did. |

Nothing wrong with giving a video game top billing talent as long as the game design doesn't suffer for it. Let's hope they learned their lesson from Oblivion and made DAMN SURE the rest of the game had ENOUGH budget and was stable before spending massive amounts on a FEW AAA Actors.

Max Von Sydow is a god! Christopher Plummer, whilst a good actor, is a pretentious douchebag. I've met the man on several occasions and he really comes off as nothing but. He's one of those people that uses the word one a lot, 'Well, one can't help but wondering if some of us are just naturally gifted actors.'

Into the Fire, the Babylon 5 Space Combat Sim. It died in IP hell. And while I loved working on it, it was a sobering experience with how the game industry works, or, rather, doesn't.

She's an awesome actress. Hillarious on the set, from what our writer said. One of my great regrets is not getting ItF to market. It was a hell of a game.

I kind of like having recognizable voices in games. A few years back, i was pleasantly surprised hearing Patrick Stewart in this D&D Demonstone Hack&Slay-Thingy. Boring game, he didnt made it better, but i like hearing his voice. He should do more gaming voice-overs. |

When the last game came out people complained that there weren't enough voice actors and all the NPCs sounded the same and were poorly acted.
So now Bethesda hires pros and people are complaining that the voice actors are "too famous" or they should have spent their budget elsewhere.
Really, guys?

This right here. I for one am looking forward to the Shakespeare-quoting Klingon in Skyrim. |

Oddly Oblivion's repetition of actors for each race didn't bug me. I found some of the voices oddly comforting after a while and can still easily picture every race/gender and hear the corresponding voice.
What drove me nuts were the beggers that would slip in and out of proper grammar and beggerspeak. |

Well yeah, really! The opinions here are about as reliable as your ability to read and comprehend what people are actually saying.
Oblivion didn't have enough distinct voice actors. Too many NPC roles were shared by a single actor. The fame of the actors didn't matter in context of the problem. There were simply insufficient in number to suspend the disbelief of the player that he was in a world with many different individual characters. This was very apparent when you'd have instances of two different characters talking to each other using the same voice. |
