:poop: PS. I know people have different tastes, and that's okay. In fact, I like it how Jo Wyatt seems to divide the opinions of people a lot. Some go crazy, while others just can't stand her. Just read a Witcher thread and someone said that the only dialogue they ever skipped in the game was the ones by Wyatt I guess Sera's a bit of an acquired taste, but I've come to like her, too.
About British accents, I think it's pretty weird to lump the multitude of them together. I mean, posh English accents are lightyears away from Scottish or Irish accents, for example. In fact, it'd be great to have someone speaking Glaswegian Once I played Alias with a Glaswegian and it was like torture, because I had to focus 150% all the time to understand anything xD In real life I like American accents (Midwest, California, parts of Canada) the most, and I don't think that they are any way "out of place" in a fantasy setting. However, I don't mind the dominance of British accents in DA, because it just makes the occasional American voice sound even more sweet. It's such a pleasure to hear Varric or Scout Harding speak when they might be the only American voices in miles. I think that their American accents make up at least 75% of the DA dwarves' sex appeal dragontartare : I actually think that Eve Myles would be great! Her performance as Merrill is pretty iconic, but I've watched Broadchurch where she appeared and she didn't sound so super Merrill-y to me. I think it's not beyond the realms of possibility that she could change her voice sufficiently. I would like a Irish voice as the protag. It would be something new Other people I would like to hear again: Asa Siegel (Bishop from NWN2, his voice is sexy af, a real crime that he hasn't appeared in other games since) Hannah Telle (Max from Life is Strange, not as protag but as something. Like a LI ) Jaimi Barbakoff (Triss from Witcher 2 and 3. I know she makes a lot of people cringe, but I don't care. She sounds both lovely, fussy and somehow badass. ) Gillian Anderson! She could also shift between American and English accents Ofc, the probability of this happening is virtually zero, but one can always dream If they got Martin Sheen, then why not...

Wildfire Gillian Anderson has actually done voice acting work before (though not for BW), so I don't think that's a crazy idea at all.

Agree with the list except Marina Sirtis. I've to say I've only seen her in STTNG, an ep of Stargate and her VA in ME1. I'm not impressed; her role in TNG and SG was passable but not the voice acting. I'd rather have these other options in her place; Nathan Fillion (VA for the rogue in Destiny II) Romaro Orzari (VA for Thief The Dark Project, Corvo in Dishonored II) Erica Luttrell (VA for Empress Emily Kaldwin I in Dishonored II) Nathan Fillion would be great. I liked him in Jade Empire. Too bad he did not do anything in later games. I didn't realise he's in JE until you mentioned it and I looked it up. I never knew about him until I cotton onto the Castle tv series. That's the only one of his onscreen works I caught. I also know he voiced a char in GotG and the rogue in Destiny II. He voiced Gao, the younger. Oh dear, I remember when I played the game, I was laughing (though not surprised) at the way it's pronounced because in one of the Chinese dialects with a heavy emphasis, it meant dog. In mandarin with a different intonation, it meant high. I had wondered how the name was picked and whether the devs knew the meaning. I always think of the Gaos as scurvy dogs anyway.

Bioware writing staff was very fond of Firefly/Serenity, and Fillion is a homeboy from Edmonton, so they were very excited about getting him to voice in JE (they mentioned it on the forums at the time).
Given the overall irreverent tone of Jade Empire, and the linguists they had on staff for it, I am sure a lot of names in the game are likely as funny to a Mandarin speaker as Roderick's or the translated names (like Henpecked Hou) are to us.
Anyway, I'd love Fillion as a voice, preferably for a ruggedly handsome character, but a villain would be awesome too.

Completely off topic, but you really should watch Firefly with Nathan Fillion - one of the best scifi shows ever (after Babylon 5 of course)

I just never gotten any interest for it. If I were to watch it, I'll have to look up some samples on YT and decide whether I want to watch it. I don't watch tv shows online via whatever services there are presently available due to; 1] Most don't service the region I live in. 2] Waste of money to pay for the service if it's available, imo. I don't even watch the local tv stuff (they're so backward) for over 10 years even though I pay the bill for it. My bro is the only one in the family who watches tv. 3] I'd rather buy tv shows I like on dvd/bluray so I can watch them whenever I want to. Talking about Firefly, Babylon 5. I'm reminded of Andromeda. No, not the game, the tv series starring Kevin Sobo (spelling?) of Hercules tv series fame. I heard stuff about it, watched it and came away totally bored. Maybe Bioware should have named their latest game something else because I came away, totally bored. Andromeda, that's a double negative checks against it where I'm concerned. I love documentaries and I'm mostly watching the old ones on YT. Presently watching one on Rome, voiced by Sigourney Weaver.

Dragon Age has some of the best voice actings so far tbh. Morrigan and Flemeth voices are as good as it gets with their roles...Claudia Black even brought her own son to voice Kieran.

I'm more comfortable with British accents because I find them easier to understand (OK, maybe not the Glaswegian ones... though they sound great too, in a "uh what did they just say" sort of way), but I like the American voice actors as well. Varric's voice in particular fits him like a glove.

I played Fallout 4 after a long while and I gotta say there are some amazing voice actors in that game like; Stephen Russell Courtney Ford Peter Jessop Ryan Alosio Danny Shorago Claudia Christian and many more. I would love to see them in future Bioware games. Unless they already have roles I don't know about.

Less British folks for sure. The pool of British folks is so tiny, and the demand so disproportionately high, they're running out of people who don't overlap with about 15 different TV shows and movies.
Less well-known accents altogether. The reason people feel British and American accents sound "normal" is because every time there's a "normal" role to fill, it gets cast as a Brit or a (usually West Coast accented) American. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Besides, we're not near Ferelden anymore. Let's get some regional variations here.
