Really.. it's just wonderful. I love Alistair, Zevran and Morrigan.. they all have such great voice acting and dialogue. Oh, and Shale. The other party members have good voice acting too - but they're not as "likeable".. but they fit the role.
So, what I want to say is: good job on this aspect of the game as well, BioW!
Voice acting (and dialogue) is the best I've heard!

Yea, completly agree. Best voice acting I've ever heard in a game and it really has a huge impact on the game experience.

I concur. I was amazed at how well the voice acting was. In addition, just the personalities of the characters. A really epic game.

Alistair: Oh, that's funny. Your cruel japes will be remembered, ser. If you hear sobbing later, that's me crying myself to sleep.
Alistair is so brilliant. I love his sense of humor and I'm laughing a lot when talking to him

Has anyone found a definitive cast list? I recognize so many of the voices. Cam Clarke (at least twice), Tim Russ, Liam O'Brien, Kim Mai Guest... bunches of others too...
(and of course the 'big-name' talent, Tim Curry, Claudia Black and Kate Mulgrew)

The voice acting itself is quite good, I can agree on. The interaction between the characters, however, feels forced. No interuptions for example, and staggering is very scripted.
I'm not a fan of voice acting in the first place. I don't get what's wrong with reading...

In look and delivery Kolgrim was a bit Leonidis-y. Good thing there wasn't a handy well nearby or I'd have ended up in it.

I disagree. They were pretty much on par with each other, and I'd say DA:O comes out ahead because of Alistair. his actor was amazing. There wasn't a point in the game where I wasn't completely entranced by him whenever he talked. His witty quips, and the raw emotion in his voice.
From Wikipedia.
- Duncan – (Voiced by Peter Renaday)[19]
Like many others, Duncan gave up his family name when he joined the
ranks of the Wardens: a symbolic gesture of cutting ties. He might say
it was a convenience as his father was from Ferelden, his mother from
Anderfelds, and he spent his childhood in the Free Marches and Orlais.
His people were everywhere and his homeland was nowhere. He serves as a
mentor of sorts to the player character. He has been entrusted with the
task of leading the Grey Wardens in Ferelden. This is considered a
difficult task because the Grey Wardens were exiled from Ferelden 200
years prior.[20][21]
The NPCs that join your party are:
- Wynne – (voiced by Susan Boyd Joyce)[22][23]
One of the most prominent mages of the Circle of Magi and a powerful
spirit healer. She believes wholeheartedly in what the Circle stands
for and has been a vocal advocate that, through discipline and
education, mages can learn to control their gifts and use them to serve
mankind. The fear of magic often brings forth misunderstanding, Wynne
always cautions mages of the innate dangers of calling forth magic as
it continually attracts demons looking for hosts to possess. “Earn your
place,” she has said, “and you shall not be reviled.” Her peers thought
so highly of her that she was asked to become Ferelden’s new first
enchanter which she refuses, saying she has no desire to work in the
upper ranks. When word has reached her in the tower of King Cailan’s
call to arms against the Blight, Wynne readily volunteered to go to
Ostagar.[24]
- Alistair – (Voiced by Steve Valentine)[19]
This young warrior was recruited by Duncan from his ill-suited
placement into training to become a templar for the Chantry (the
dominant religion of Ferelden). Alistair has seen a hard childhood
since his mother died in childbirth. He was raised in service of the
lord at the castle in Redcliffe and is the illigitmate son of King
Maric. His experiences have hardened him and created a wry and
irreverent sense of humor. Alistair is a romance option for female
characters.[24][25]
- Morrigan – (Voiced by Claudia Black)[26]
Morrigan is a shapechanging mage, taught by her mother in the wilds of
Ferelden. Morrigan is a romance option for male characters.[24][27]
- Oghren – (Voiced by Steve Blum)[19] A Dwarf from the House of Kondrat who was once a promising member of the Warrior Caste.[24]
- Sten – (Voiced by Mark Hildreth)[19]
A bronze-skinned qunari giant who is wary of revealing his true name to
members of the race his people twice attempted to conquer. Four
centuries ago the qunari reached the shores of Thedas, possessed of an
alien philosophy and an iron determination to force lesser cultures
into enlightenment. They conquered only a small area which in turn only
allowed them to study their human foes more carefully, sending
missionaries and explorers into the southern lands after the last
truce. This could explain Sten’s presence as he was left to rot in a
cage and refuses to clarify how he failed his mission. The infidel ways
are not his; if he needs forgiveness for his crimes, it is a matter of
qunari honor, not of human law.[24]
- Leliana - (Voiced by Corinne Kempa)[19] Leliana is from the Orlesian Empire and is classed as a rogue. She is a romance option for both male and female characters.[24][27]
- Zevran - (Voiced by Jon Curry)[19]
A male elf who excels in the ranks in one of the most infamous guild of
thieves and assassins in all of Thedas, the Antivan Crows. He has
accepted a commission for a target in Ferelden.[24] He is a romance option for male and female characters.
- Teyrn Loghain – (Voiced by Simon Templeman)[19]
Loghain served as the right hand of King Maric in the war against the
Orlesians and now hopes to help guide Maric's son Cailan in defense of
the realm from the Blight.
- Shale - (Voiced by Barry Williams)[19] Shale is a mighty stone golem that comes from The Stone Prisoner
downloadable content pack. Shale will be available freely to all owners
of a first-hand copy of the game. Those who purchase a previously owned
copy have the option to purchase him for $15 USD.[28]

After playing games like Risen and Sacred 2 (which the voice acting is AWFUL) I'm glad another company put a lot to make voices sound real and convincing, and they work llike a charm with facial expressions too.
Great job guys!

Tassiaw, indeed... you just want to talk to Alistair to hear his voice and dialogue. Morrigan is a close second for me, though

If you romance Al, a whole other part of his personality comes out 
and yes, I love the voice acting, but don't forget that it is enhanced by the fantastic in game animations. Body language and faces. It's fantastic.

I thought Leliana nailed the voice acting very well, in addition to the other one's mentioned. Some people say that they can't stand her voice, but I think it's perfect. She has the french born, Oxford educated accent, it's very fitting for someone who was born into the low class Parisian type society, and grafted into the high class London type society.
Also, I like that this game has a huge range of accents and not everyone sounds like a bad Dick Van ****** cockney.

This is actually one of the few games that's held my attention from beginning to end, and the character development is the reason behind that. Gameplay is fun but frustrating at times, but the characters themselves are so very alive. The personalities are great, the flavor dialogue is wonderful and the voice acting is superb. I hope this quality continues. Good voice acting is hard to come by these days.

I'm still extremely entertained by the "Shrek"-like, Puss-in-boots'esque persona for Zevran. I keep expecting him to try and pull-off one of those Doll-eyed, cap in hands orphan expressions before a fight. Maybe there's a "skill" for that in his tree? I'll have to have a look

Yeah, it's very impressive especially with Morganna, Lil, and Ali.
Some of the best I've heard since the Legacy of Kain series which is one of the only other series I've seen actually put an effort in that area and it shows.

Agree, they have great voice actors... although, I'm surprised I didn't hear Raphael Sbarge (the guy who is voicing Carth in kotor and Kaidan in Mass Effect). He has a very calm voice, nice to listen to. Or perhaps he did voice someone, but I think I'd notice..

I know a lot of folks see movies just to see their favorite actors. I wonder as video games advance more and more if voice actors will also get the same kind of recognition and audience.

Nope, no Raphael Sbarge in DA:O. I'm hoping he'll be back in ME2. I had a total insane fangirl moment and e-mailed him to tell him how much I loved his voice work. He mailed me a signed photo.
"Tassia,
May the Force be with you.
- Raphael Sbarge"
I squeed. I love his voice, I also enjoy how many shows I've seen him on this year.

In Japan, their seiyuu (voice actors) are quite famous. I look forward to the day when our voice actors receive the same kind of recognition.
P.S. Duncan = Splinter. Let that bit of awesome sink in.

And Alistair is the best voiced character in DAO

The voice of Morrigan is done by Claudia Black who also did Chloe Frazer's voice in Uncharted 2, and Alistair's is done by Steve Valentine who did Harry Flynn from Uncharted 2 as well, I think both games had great voice acting!
