Hell Kitty Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I don't disagree that a GOOD VOICE actor, that happens to be a GOOD ACTOR, is great. But they cost big bucks. And there ARE many Michael Ironsides-soundalikes waiting for their big chance ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does Michael Ironside really cost big bucks? Sure he's done big movies but he's also done quite a bit of trash, and I'd much prefer the real thing to a soundalike.

He's all over the Sci-Fi channel. I myself much prefer Lance Henriksen. His game work (ie Red Faction 2, which I had the misfortune of playing) has not been good, though.

alanschu Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Interesting that you prefer Henriksen, despite his game work being poor. I thought Michael Ironside (and Dennis Haysbert) have done excellent jobs in the Splinter Cell games.

Darth Drabek Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Ah, Michael Ironside. Come on, you apes! You wanna live forever? :cool: baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs

alanschu Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) Wow. I knew Haysbert did the second one. Given the voice of the third one, I figured it was still him. The two sound quite similar. My statement is still correct however Edited September 23, 2006 by alanschu

Judge Hades Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) "Please, enlighten me as to the contents of that conversation." THE SET UP: The woman earlier asked you to find her kidnapped children. Sounds like your typical CRPG side quest, right? Wrong. You eventually find the children. However. they. are. all. dead. and. turned. into. undead. (zombies, I think). You return to Mommy Dearest. THE CONVERSATION CHOICE: You get to choose whether to spare her the details of her children's plight or spill the whole beans. At this time, she can tell soemthing is wrong; and is awaiting your words. THE AFTERMATH: This is the sad part. You either lie, and spare her feelings, or you tell the truth and the distraught mummy runs out of the inn ... right into the arms of some thugs. Not missing a beat she continues to run... and, they slaughter her. P.S. You can, if you are quick enough, cheat the game, and kill the thugs but it doesn't really change anything. The dialogue itself was wellw ritten and showed the woman's emotinal state, and the character's dilemma well.. unless the character is an evil sicko ... I wish I could remember the exact words; but hey, it's been a few years. LOL Knowing Bethesda and the ES series, I'd be SHOCKED they'd have a situation in Oblivion like this written well enough to be emotionally moving - as much as any game can be that is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Gray Prince quest and the Arena was rather well done, and on par with that.
