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?
My pick is Alex Winter. He isn´t that big of a Hollywoodstar like Keanu Reeves anymore but he hey is Bill S. "Excellent" Preston. And also you really think that Bioware could afford some similar caliber like Keanu Reeves?
In my opinion he would be good dwarven character.
William Sadler(aka death) or they could always go the got route and really annoy some people.

Charles Dance as perhaps an architect type character. Use his face but warp it like the Architect and Corypheus. I could see Conleth Hill, another GoT actor, doing voice work. Finally, Wallace Shawn as the villains loveable mage. He helps! Sort of... I could easily imagine Conleth as some mage of import at the Tevinter circle. Charles Dance should voice Archon Radonis. Obviously.
Wallace Shawn should be a companion. Keep the "sort of" helping.

Cyberpunk 2077 PC specs used at E3
CPU: Intel i7-8700K @ 3.70 GHz Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-I GAMING RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V, 2x16GB, 3000MHz, CL15 GPU: Titan RTX SSD: Samsung 960 Pro 512 GB M.2 PCIe PSU: Corsair SF600 600W
The TITAN RTX GPU was used to allow for Ray Tracing. The SSD, I suspect, was used to eliminate/minimize load screen times. The CPU was clocked @3.7Ghz. However, 32GB of RAM is a bit much, imo. Then again, graphics is to blame and the graphics are awesome.
The greater unwashed don't have this expensive rig and neither do current consoles have the necessary hardware. So, for the little people, lower graphics settings and no Ray Tracing is the word of the day.

Cyberpunk 2077 will have real time Ray Tracing. Specs for both major consoles (Play Station & Xbox 2020) announced that their hardware will support Ray Tracing
I strongly suspect that DA4 will also use Ray Tracing. Bio has no choice, for two reasons, imo. (1) Most if not all future AAA titles will be developed to use Rray Tracing.... ∴ pressure for DA4 to also use it. Read this article.(2) EA keeps harping about FB3 being their tech graphical darling. To miss out on Ray Tracing is unthinkable.
Imo, that expactation is partly cause for the shittyness of AAA. Chasing the latest fidelity bloats dev time - mostly at expense of gameplay. WTF do I need the latest raytracing in a game for?
Agreed. The industry, however, seems to be going in that direction. The Cyberpunk 2077 demo at E3 used a Titan RTX to run the Ray Tracing feature of the game.

Actually, despite my earlier comments, Ian McShane would be my preference for Radonis.

It's kind of funny that everyone is so positive about this news, because prior to 1999, the reaction to Keanu Reeves being in a cyberpunk video game would be more like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Remember Johnny Mnemonic? Anyways, I actually hope BioWare AVOIDS big name casting with DA4, because it usually doesn't work out the way video game studios hope. How much did Activision pay to get Kit Harington in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare? How much did Konami spend replacing David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland in Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain? How much did Bungie spend on hiring Peter Dinklage for Destiny? How much did Netherrealm studios spend on hiring Ronda Rousey as SONYA FUCKING BLADE?!!!! Did the presence of any of these people help push copies out the door? And BioWare's history with celebrity casting has also had its share of failures. Remember Felicia Day as Tallis in DA2? Remember Jessica Chobot as Diana Allers in ME3? Remember Natalie Dormer as ... whatever the hell her forgettable character's name was in MEA? Remember Catherine Tate as that lesbian bartender from Anthem, or Kristen Schaal as that one merchant? I'm not saying "Every actor must be an unknown!!!" That's basically impossible, and you would miss out on some great lower-tier actors like Claudia Black. I'm just saying that when it comes to casting Johnny Bumblefuck the NPC cabbage merchant, maybe spending $10-20 million to get Jason Momoa to voice him isn’t a great idea. Who? You literally listed unknown actresses except maybe Natalie "Duck face" Dormer and even then she's famous only thanks to GOT. LMFAO at calling Jessica Chobot a celebrity.
Keanu Reeves is actually a Hollywood A-lister and a beloved star. Martin Sheen, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tricia Helfer are miles better than the DA2, DAI and MEA cast.

I'm amused because the only actor I recognized the name of was the one that played Tallis and TM. Okay, I do know Keanu Reeves but probably only because I love him with Sandra Bullock in romance movies like the Lake House to pieces.
Big name voice actors are obviously not meant for game buyers like me who don't watch TV or GAF about celebrities.
Edit: oh ya, Kate Mulgrew. Because Captain Janeway is the best Captain
But I don't think I knew she was voicing Mythal till way after the fact

I prefer Catherine Tate over the so-called A-list actor Keanu Reeves any day. Don't get me wrong: I like Keanu Reeves, but he is no Catherine Tate Apart from that, I really don't care about famous names. I like good voice actors, but I don't have to know them. So far, I think they did a good job with the voice actors in the DA games (I can't remember a bad one atm) and I rather have them put the money into the actual game than some 'A-list' actor. I actually do know some of the voice actors in DA: Solas and Merrills actors for example were Gwen and Ianto from Torchwood, then the wonderful Claudia 'Aeryn Sun' Black of course (although I really don't like Morrigan, so for me that was a waste of a good va), Viviennes voice actress Indira Varma from Game of Thrones, Kate Mulgrew of course (who did a terrific job as Flemythal). But apart from some nerd-moments, when I recognise the actors, I really don't care, if I know them or not.

In truth I don't mind keanu reeves being in it because he is not hated by anyone and I think he has done voice work before (though I may be wrong) Plus he is just such a cool dude in real life. Although I am am usually against hiring big name celebrities to do VA work because it cost so much extra money and there are alot of VA actors who who do work as good or even better for less money. However I have to say I can't picture anyone voicing TIM other then martin sheen. However while I don't hate lady gaga I think paying her some insane amount of money to do VA work is ridiculous unless your doing it more for advertisment.

Among all the other things I owe to Mass Effect (And Dragon Age), kicking off Freddy Prince Jr (or however it's spelled)'s highly amusing voice-acting career is among them.
...Seriously, I missed all the teen girl things when he was a teen girl idol, but he makes a fantastic vidja game/animated friend.

I generally have no problem with celebrity voices in games (outside of budget concerns), it just becomes a (potential) issue when it's their voice + likeness.
Will their appearance elevate the game... or will it take you out of the game? It's a gamble. So given the choice, I'd definitely opt to keep celebrity likenesses out of DA.

Because Captain Janeway is the best Captain But I don't think I knew she was voicing Mythal till way after the fact I think it is for the most part and unnecesary expense and cuts down dialouge. I will say that having martin sheen do TIM was a plus because he was good at it and I loved miranda's VA though she isn't a massive celebrity as far as I know. However fem sheps VA was mind blowing and she is just a VA rather then some huge celebrity. I think they should use talented VA's who work for a reasonable price and thus can have more dialouge for cheaper. I admit I am dissapointed in cd project red with their obscene lady gaga thing (and I say obscene because if I heard right they paid her an incredible amount of money) Though I will still be pre ordering cyberpunk 2077 of course. I expect the way CD project red is doing it is for advertisment more then anything. Because the idea that someone is gonna buy a $60 or more game to listen to a celebrity say a few lines sounds insane. Although I admit keanu is cool enough to possibly pull it off.

The thing is a name in acting shouldn't be the only qualifier, the actor/actress would have to have a uniqueness to their voice too...Claudia Black has it, so does Kate Mulgrew and Greg Ellis...I would love to hear Angie Harmon's or Shohreh Aghdashloo's voice added to DA4, along with Matthew Gray Gubler and Jay Baruchel, I love all their voices. Craig Furguson and Gerard Butler did great voice work in the "How To Train Your Dragon movies" and I would love to hear Bindi and Robbie Irwin voicing characters or have Joanna Cassidy and Alan Alda have a giggle-fest together because those two have the best laughs ever. It really is tough to say, there are so many talented voices out there.
