Can anyone remember a game which had a character or something in it that just had amazing voice acting and dialog. I remember the Ranger Squad from the Eldar in Dawn Of War: Dark Crusade. They have this incredible, icy calm voice, it's difficult to determine if it's being spoken by male or female (which just adds to it's enigma) due to the nature of the Eldar. Damn it sounds so Cool! Especially when you select them and they speak in an almost ghostly voice:

'We seek the adventure that only war can bring'

And I just love it when they say

'You cannot imagine the things we've seen with our eyes'.

Applauds to Relic Entertainment for the voice actors they brought in for their game.

'You cannot imagine the things we've seen with our eyes'

I think that's borrowed from a Blade Runner quote. :)


Lost Odyssey has some good voice acting.

"War, war never changes" from the Fallout series

Ron Perlman puts me in sexy time whenever I hear that... ooooh goosebumps.
Oooh, Ron Perlman, what a dream boat. :oops:

I'm playing through World in Conflict and the voice acting I heard in that is terrific.

Especially the narrarations from Alec Baldwin.

"You were almost a Jill sandwich!"

"Take this weapon. It's REALLY powerful, espesially against living things.

"But what will you use Barry?

I have THIS."

Or a more recent quote

"Well I really don't give a damn. Rain or shine, you're going DOWN!"

(actually Leons voice actor did a pretty good job. But it had the dialogue of an 80's action movie.)

DMC4 had great Voice actors.

However, FFX takes the price. The narrating Tidus voice is gold. Weak link was Yuna's voice actor. Sounded like a child.

I quite liked Tidus from FFX. That reminds me of Auron, he was great. The bit of narration that takes place at the very start of the game, just after Tidus signs the kids Blitz ball and then runs off to get to the game in time. This voice starts going on about what's happened in the past few days of Tidus's life. Soon as I heard that I knew I was in for something special. I believe that was Auron talking.

I wish I could get a clip of the Ranger squad in Dawn Of War for anyone who's not heard it. Just imagine Uma Therman with her soul sucked out and wearing a gas mask and your almost there. Another one is when you ask them to move to a location they go 'We have travled much, darker paths'. Awesomeness 8)

Edit: This is the best I could do since i don't have fraps or anything installed. This boring clip shows a game of Dawn Of War taking place, at 6:30 during a fight the Ranger squad speaks out my favorite quote of all time. The Dark Reapers voices are pretty cool also, you hear them speak quite often. 'All who have life, fear the reaper.'

I would have to say Andrew Ryan from Bioshock, Armin Shimmerman did a fantastic job. Actually all the voices in that game are great.

Actually that was the sports dude talking. I really like his voice. too bad he's only at the beginning.

The female voice in Dawn of War seems to be the same person who voices the sister of fate in GoW2. Sounds really similar.

Cam Clarke as Liquid Snake was just awesome.

Cam Clarke is awesome!! Too bad he's not in MGS4. hate how two great characters are stuck in the same person):
