Skyrim Voice Cast Announced

The Bethesda Blog announces the "star-studded cast" of voice actors appearing in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the next installment in Bethesda's role-playing series. They are not exaggerating the star part, as the game will feature Max Von Sydow, Christopher Plummer, and Joan Allen, a trio with five Oscar nominations between them. "It’s been incredible to have all these actors together," said Todd Howard, Game Director. "When you start a project, you always make your wish-list of actors, and to actually hear them in the game, it’s amazing. We can’t wait for everyone to experience it." The cast will also feature Lynda Carter, Michael Hogan, and more. Word is the game will include 70 different voice actors delivering over 60,000 lines of dialogue.

Well Im not sure that is/was such a good idea. I think most console gamers couldnt tell Christopher Plummer from Christopher Nolan or even Christpher Lambert for that matter. Why do they hire very expensive tv/movie actors when they can get the same if not even better work for small change (relative) from professional voice actors, and spend the rest of the money on developing, you know horse armor DLC or something maybe marginally more useful.

Exactly. And whilst they're good actors it's not like they're necessary because they fit a part in particular or have some legacy tied to the game like Ron Perlman and Fallout, or specialize in voice acting ala Mark Hamill. Forget the big names, hire good - relative - unknowns and put that money back into the game in the form of content instead.
