Some big brand voices on here.

Personal favorite is Michael Dorn. Hes no Morgan Freeman but he will make one hell of a narrator. That guy has an excellent narrative voice.

 

[Drithius]

Wow, that roster is incredible! Dwight Schultz? John De Lancie!? Sublime! My one regret is that Tim Curry's health likely prevents him from participating as well

 

[Stahl33]

Agree! Michael Dorn will be great!

Anyone have any idea when this will be released?

 

[Fimbul]

I don't want to be the killjoy, but for me it looks rather like an expensive PR stunt for quick and early chashgrab. They didn't show anything real from the game so far, no real battle scenes or played game footage. Only Early Access for CE preorders.

@Stahl33 Early Access starts 26. Feb for CE price. Maybe then we see how much meet is at the shiny bone.

 

[Farflame]

I have similar feeling as Fimbul.
Voice actors are nice… Im fan of Michael Dorn too… but I still cant shake my feeling that they spend much more time on audiovisual quality than on real gameplay. I wonder how much time you will have to watch and listen to flashy "blah-blah" of these voice acted advisors compared to planning/thinking because of challenge and tactical options.

 

[LongMuckDong]

That's probably even more impressive than the Star Citizen line up... bloody crazy! Please let this be good... it's got that 'too good to be true' type feel to it....

Mark has a nice deep voice in his old age as well.

I'm mostly against voice acting but in games like this it's not bad. I heard and remember more Civ IV and V voice over than I have ME or DAI.

 

[utergatuk]

Actually this is ridiculous cast. But really, if they are spending this much on the voice acting, even if the game is just an updated port of the original, I will enjoy it. If they are just looking for the cash grab, shame on them. All I can say is they will have to grab quite a bit of cash just to pay for this stunt. And with the list of actors there, YES IT IS A STUNT. Plenty of good voice actors available without the movie/TV acting credentials of these guys or the high price tag that comes with it. ME2 only had Martin Sheen and that girl from Chuck.
