Any era, doesnt matter. I just want to know of games where the actors knocked it out of the park.

A bit part, perhaps, but George Ledoux as DUNCAN FISHER MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries!
Man I loved mechwarrior 4
Final Fantasy 3/6. Kefka’s laugh will forever be the best evil laugh.
CURSE YOU BAYLE! I HEREBY VOW YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY! BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR, AND I, IGON! YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH! SOLID OF SCALE YOU MIGHT BE, FOUL DRAGON, BUT I WILL RIDDLE WITH HOLES YOUR ROTTEN HIDE! WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS, WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING!
I quite like the work in Max Payne, whoever did it.
I gotta say David Hayter was the first video game voice actor I ever heard of and that’s because of a metal gear solid. I still think solid snake is my favourite game voice acting. Especially if you look at the subtle difference in Snake’s voice depending on the game. It was a complete travesty to have snake voiced by anyone else in 5, but in canon it makes sense i guess
“Trust me.”
Halo master fucking chief! Hell yeah brother
The special zombies in left 4 dead 1 & 2
I know it’s super obscure, but there are some YouTube videos compiling each special zombie and it’s like god tier sound. I bet they had fun doing it, too.
To this day, I still hype myself up to do weird sounds by listening to those because they’re so good.
I love the Witch! (This video starts with a scream, not crying, so it’s loud.) https://youtu.be/tcVy7uJbvH8
Every single line in the Soul Reaver trilogy is a masterpiece.
Here, see for yourself. The intro alone will pull you in and never let go.
Isaac Clarke in the first Dead Space
Cpt. Janeway as Flemeth in the Dragon Age series (especially Origins).
Crusader: No Remorse
Wicked good acting in general (it had full motion video sequences in live action) and just a criminally underrated game from the DOS era.
The entire Command & Conquer series when Westwood was still handling them, especially Red Alert 2.
Crusader: no remorse wasn’t underrated, lol. It got the praise it deserved. What a fucking great game. The aesthetics at the time were just fucking A.
How has Baldur’s Gate 3 not been mentioned in this thread yet? Huge cast and everyone is going for it. Even the narrator. Especially the narrator.
Authority
Check out the BG3 narrator outtakes on YouTube.
It makes me wish for a version of the game where she is actively snarking the party. Like every good DM should.
I agree she is amazing, but Andrew Wincott’s Raphael is just so phenomenal, for me it’ll only ever be him.
Outside of BG3, I guess I would also say Claudia Black, Jennifer Hale and Lenval Brown (the narrator of Disco Elysium, he is so good!).
I legit thought Raphael was Ian McShane at first.
I want a mod that makes Ron Howard the narrator in bg3
I want a mod for everything that just makes Morgan Freeman narrate it all.
Hell, that’s kinda the only voice I want to hear if we ever have Ai speaking to us.
All I really want is BG3 mechanics in a Discworld setting.
Finally, a chance to romance Foul Ole Ron.
Cave Johnson… Love J.K Simmons work overall but Cave was perfect.
I still tell people I will burn their house down with lemons.
All the Portal characters, really. Cave, GLaDOS, Wheatly, Chell…
Even the turrets!
Are you still there?
My favoriteturret quote:
“Prometheus was punished by the gods for giving the gift of knowledge to man. He was cast into the bowels of the Earth and pecked by birds.”
Especially the turrets. I love them so much. The first time I took one down and got hit with the “I don’t hate you” 💔 😭
Agreed, didn’t mean to leave anyone out. Brilliant writing with excellent voice acting in both games.
