I get gamer shame from hearing Liam Neeson speaking the lines they wrote for him in Fallout 3. I'm so disappointed in you for blowing up that town. Acknowledging that industry standards are that rock bottom for a nerd celebrity voice actor is damning.

Round of applause to Max von Sydow for willing a personality into his Skyrim character
Check out the voice actor behind the scenes video on youtube of skyrim, as compared to new vegas. The bourne cia lady actress talks about how hard it is to jump from line to line and emotion to emotion, and the new vegas people all talk about what kind of characters they play, how they act as them and they look like they're having a grand old time.

Most of the voice actors are pretty good, but the actor behind Benny was... well, pretty bad. Although, I'm guessing the casting and voice directors were the same for Skyrim and New Vegas.

Even worse is the fact that there is a similar function on the right mouse button, that merely has the game add a pathetic little zoom instead. And again this is something New Vegas did right when F3 did it retardedly.

Perhaps the casting was done in a similar way, as Bethesda was overseeing it. But the voice direction is miles ahead of Skyrim and other Bethesda titles.



But of course there are mistakes in there such as Felicia Day's casting and character.
