<A href="http://rpgvault.ign.com/">RPG Vault</a> has another <A href="http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/422/422114p1.html">shotgun interview</a> with the <A href="http://www.reflexive.net">Reflexive</a> gang about <A href="http://lionheart.blackisle.com">Lionheart</a>. This time, he's covering the sound stuff:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>Jonric: What are a couple of sound, voice or musical elements that you consider most memorable or effective, and why do you feel they work especially well?
<br>
<br>
Bryce Baker
<br>
Designer, Reflexive Entertainment</b>
<br>
This is a difficult question to answer succinctly. Inon Zur has done a tremendous job with the musical score - it has a very Spanish flavor to it, which suits the setting to a T. It's excellent Spanish guitar, if you're into that kind of thing.
<br>
<br>
Several of the voice actors also stand out. The folks at Interplay who cast voices for our characters did a very good job at finding excellent voice actors including Mako of Samurai Jack and Conan fame. The overall quality of the voice-overs is quite good, I think, but certain characters like the beast spirit (a voice you'll recognize from the Baldur's Gate series and Lilo and Stitch), Cervantes and Shakespeare are truly outstanding.</blockquote>

Wasn't <b>Mako</b> also in <i>Lethal Weapon 4?</i> First guy <b>Jet Li</b> killed, I think.

[Azael]

Hmm, I don't believe Mako was in Lethal Weapon 4 actually.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Neither do I, but Conan the Barbarian was awesome

 

[EEVIAC]

Mako has been in a lot of movies, (see his IMDB listing here.) Why Reflexive didn't list The Ugly Dachshund in his credits I'll never guess. He was also in M*A*S*H*.

Ian McKellen as Shakespeare would be amazing, but I don't expect to see it.

 

[Constipated Craprunner]

Ian?
I always thought Rowan Atkinson could be good, but maybe that is just nostolgiah for my Blackadder days.

 

[Ausir]

Shakespeare is Robin Atkin Downes (Byron and Morann from Babylon 5 - i didn't like the Byron character, but the actor is good).

 

[Constipated Craprunner]

Which one was he?
The Russian in Space, or that one Lizardish guy?

 

[Sol Invictus]

He was the Psiwars rebellion leader. At one point this random thug punches him in the face and he ask the thug if he enjoyed the feeling of beating up a defenseless man, and asks him to punch him in the face again. The guy gets freaked out but he punches him again. So he asks him to do it again, and the guy just shits his pants.
