No.

OMG david tennant for hawke is the best idea ever, but let him use his scottich accent....

[AllThatJazz]

 Both David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston have lovely voices, and I wouldn't object to hearing either of them in the game. Seems like a waste of two very sexy men if we can't see them, though. <3

You could just customize Hawke and make him look like the two of them.

Tennant would be good, but I also like the idea of Martin Freeman (Tim from the UK Office). They've both got a nice middle-of-the-road voice that can probably capture a wide range of personalities and situations.

LOL...as a side note, I was looking for a YouTube video of David Tennant to hear his normal accent, and I came across this. It literally could not be a worse choice for a video for hearing his voice, but it was so good I have to share:

Robert Carlyle would be a good choice as well.



Not as good as Rab C Nesbitt though.

Hey, it's a plan :happy: Though to be fair, I have tried repeatedly to make my Wardens look like sexy famous people and failed abysmally! Eccleston was one of them - ended up as a sort of pink Shrek 

On a side note, I also like Burn Gorman's voice (Owen from Torchwood) - maybe not as Hawke, could definitely see him as a bit of a snarky villain or something, though.

[MachinekiIIer]

I vote for Liam Neeson as the voice

 1. Tennant doesn't have a heroic voice
2. Tennant is an egotistical pooface

But the 'classic' male heroic voice always ends up sounding a little bit brutish. I'd like a hero who sounds clever, even cocky, but who definitely avoids the 'Me Tarzan' sort of stereotype. I don't think for a minute DT will end up being Hawke, but more like him than Mark Meer would be good, imo.

Well. This is the sort of problem that was -so- predictable when using VA.

Some people like David Tennant, others do not. While I liked him as Dr. Who, I think Christopher Eccleton was far better.

But my main grief is, it'll be David Tennant's voice. Not the one I imagine for my character. This is so wrong! They could cast whomever they wanted, when you make your fourth Hawke, and it is still the same voice it's going to be so annoying to listen to.

far better to have lots of actors produce a limited voiceset, and then actually use them, unlike in DA:O. Then you have the gist of how your character sounds. Combine that with proper facial animations, instead of the blankness of DA:O, and you have choise, freedom and proper reactions.

This is all going so much in the wrong direction.

Sorry, imho, Tennant has a weasel voice. He also sounds very cocky. That isn't heroic in any way to me. I didn't say classic, anyway. I just said heroic. Heroic means someone who sounds courageous and confident. I still don't think Tennant has those qualities.

Yes, in case you didn't notice, I really don't like him. I like Dr. Who, but I hate him. I saw him on QI once, and from then on he just really freaked me out. 

[AllThatJazz]

I worried about it before Mass Effect, then JH did Shepard and I thought she was fab. I'm pretty sure I won't have major objections to whoever they choose, and if they do, isn't there a volume slider for voices? I can always turn it right down and just have subtitles.

Stephen Fry, for an educated hero:)

Yeah, QI was NOT his finest moment. He did a much better 'heroic' voice in Hamlet, though. See, I like cocky, for a certain type of hero anyway (probably a rogue), but I can see why DT might not work as a warrior.  Tbh, I was just remembering the struggle I used to have choosing male voicesets for NWN. They all sounded like thugs or maniacs, except for one which I ended up ALWAYS choosing.  Part of the reason I rarely played guys. 

The line between sounding confident (or a bit cocky, even) is a difficult one to walk - stray just a bit and he sounds like a w****r. And as much as I liked Zev and Alistair, I would not want my male PC sounding like either. I don't think I've ever actually heard a 'heroic' voice in a game that's made me think 'oooh, yes please'.

Sigh, will probably just end up playing girls again, since I find they generally sound a lot better, whether full VO or just voicesets.

[Massadonious1]

Canadians have the worst ideas.

[AllThatJazz]

Hugh Laurie, then!?? He could do a sexy American-type guy OR a complete buffoon!

[Behindyounow]

I say Brian Blessed.

[Chuvvy]

Nick Frost or Simon Pegg?

If the actor has to be british, then it has to be rowan atikson.

Tennant is scottish, though. He's like that guy from house but with a british accent instead.

You do know that Scotland is a part of Britain don't you? Also, there is no such thing as a "British accent" (You could mean Welsh, Scottish or English). Sorry, this just annoys me.

[AllThatJazz]

Plus, all the regional variations of the UK countries. Someone from Lancashire doesn't sound a bit like someone from Bristol. But most people from outside the UK tend to associate 'British' with posh/Received Pronunciation. I assume the same is true of people outside the US assuming a generic American accent when there is no such thing? Although the southern drawl is pretty distinctive.

Yeah I doubt any American would recongise my Northen English accent as "British"
