that would be one sassy God of creation. *eyes narrow* wait this wouldn't have anything to do with Gareth David Lloyd (Solas) voicing his boyfriend in another show? Well, I first thought about it when I heard Eve Myles playing Merrill. Then when GDL was announced as Solas I thought everything was going according to plan. Now if they could also get Burn Gorman and Naoko Mori some small parts I'd know the Maker is real and we're all doomed (but in a good sense, yeah?). hey as long as Stephen Amell is the protagonist to stop them all.

Who the hell is Natalie Dormer and why do people want her in DA:4 :S The only big name Bioware hired who did an amazing job was Martin Sheen, and that's because he's all round fabulous and has a 'presence' that's few actors have. I legit never noticed any of the others. It's like Bethesda when they splurged out for that famous actor in Oblivion and I never even noticed. And if that's the case what's the point :S EDIT: Oops it was Patrick Stewart xD Sorry Patrick but I still never noticed ... oh wow, Sean Bean was in it as well. Never noticed that either.

Or are you saying she’s not a big name? She was in Rick & Morty, after all. I don’t see that on Martin ”President Bartlet” Sheen’s filmography.

I personally didn't care about Keanu reeves, though from what I've heard about the guy; he's pretty down to earth and a kind person. So I don't mind him being involved. But I hope his involvement isn't over the top. As for DA4 I think BW should just focus on what they're doing and not worry about what celebrities they can get in their games.

OH MY GOOODNESSS??!?!! I NEED TO GET THE GAEIM WITH CELEBRITY IN IT!!! I don't think this is the trend that is going to go on at all. A lot of people should know that certain celebrities play video games...its not that much of a surprise. The more likely objective is to draw in the people who like movies typically and go 'huh such and such is in this game, lets give it a shot'...if there are any other objectives beyond hyping up gamers themselves.

There are lots of instances where Big Name Actors were in games and it was completely forgettable. Does anyone fondly remember that Kristen Bell was in Assassin’s Creed? Can you recall her character’s name without looking it up? What about Gary Oldman? What game was he in? What character did he play? Trick question: he was in TWO games! yeah like when tim curry was in dragon age origins as randon howe, very forgetable. her name was lucy wasn't he in call of duty? not sure about that, i haven't played it xD

Remember reading something from guys at Bioware that said the data on characters they collected doesn’t really match the internet’s preferences. Which makes sense. The internet fandoms are a real niche group. But was that in reference to the romance preferences of ME2 or something else? For instance, all the Internet hype is around FemShep, but the majority of players pick Male Shepard.
Ryan Reynolds as Elgar’nan and Cardi B as Mythal. No, no, Ryan Reynolds is playing Schmooples the IV, the wisecracking intelligent nug detective. It was multiple comments about both DA and ME over time. It’s far more true for DA than ME from what was implied, though I remember a post kinda saying Miranda was favoured by the data they gathered.

This just a thread for having fun. Yesterday was the big Cyperpunk 2077 moment with Keanu Reeves.
So what Hollywoodstar could DA 4 possible use for their marketing? Michael Nyqvist obviously.

For me the real distinction is, big name or not, is the name in question a proper voice actor or are they just an actor? There are a lot of really talented screen actors who've failed to transition well to voice acting because it is a different skill set. Sometimes they make the transition work and sometimes it's a matter of direction - Michael Biehn was far better in Blood Dragon than in that Aliens game he was in for that reason. But sometimes they just don't have the chops for it.
It's a fallacy to say that just because someone is a big name that they're talented, and it's a fallacy to say that just because someone is a talented screen actor that that talent will translate to another medium. But if the person is talented, that talent translates, they fit the role, and their inclusion justifies the expense, I don't have a problem with it in and of itself.

Just as long as they don't do the thing where they try to make the character look like the actor - that always just looks weird.

Honestly having Keanu Reaves doesn't mean much for me and I will let BioWare do their thing to make sure that whoever they cast actor or voice actor makes sure they don't pull a Destiny with Peter Dinklage where he was either not properly directed or just not cut out for voice acting. I am surprised nobody has mentioned Nathan Fillian in Jade Empire yet.
BioWare always seems to have some level of celebrity voice actor in their games and personally as long as they can do the job it doesn't bother me and I don't have any expectations or hopes of who they might cast because that person might be horrible at it.

Just as long as they don't do the thing where they try to make the character look like the actor - that always just looks weird. From what I have seen CDPR is doing that with Keanu Reeves. I am really hoping that he doesn't play a huge role in the game now or at least we don't see him a lot. I think BioWare did okay with making similarities with Yvonne Strahovski as Miranda and Martin Sheen as The Illusive Man. They didn't look like a photo realistic copy so it didn't bug me as much as even the pictures of Keanu Reeves.

Eh, I'm sure they'll just pull more actors from Torchwood and Mass Effect. Though I'll admit I'd love it if we got a protagonist voiced by Gemma Whelan..... Torchwood is a tapped out, but BioWare also loves stunt-casting GoT actors, and a lot of them probably have free time now...
