Related trivia that I find rather amusing: Nicholas Boulton (male Hawke) is Xenon's voice actor.

After about the 30th recording session, full of informational "tell me about this" and "I should go", Nick Boulton was begging us to do something different. Just for one session. "OMG I WILL GO CRAZY" was his threat.

Hence Xenon.

That's hilarious.  That reminds me of Mark Meer doing the VO for the vorcha at the end of the ME2 sessions.  Pfft… iconic heroes are so boring.  Outrageous characters with unnatural-sounding voices are much more fun to play.

Which makes me wonder, the male hero VAs do so great on side characters.. are they told to be as monotone as possible with the hero?
The females certainly aren't. I don't get it.

Just as long as the Box of Screaming comes along with him too! Greatest. Box. Ever.

"Don't manhandle the Urchin--Find your own. he's not for sale"  <- Funny line. I guess Xenon likes his little boy. xD

[The Angry One]

I believe he's referring to "They search the sewers <for the emporium> and accost poor Urchin.. and I tell.. Urchin to say.. no you are not worthy! Starve in the sewers!"

For some reason, I could see Xenon being a party member, but he would probably be more like Sheikh Sulieman from Clash of the Titans. Bad movie, but Xenon reminds me of that character.

So you care at least a little bit then. Good to know.

I love this. I cannot wait for the day when we start to get film style 'making of' featurettes and other bonuses that reveal stuff like this with special editions of games, maybe even a commentary track... /wishful thinking.

You would be surprised then about what you can find on youtube.  Best one I have found was a pretend group therapy session with the cast of metal gear solid 4.  It can get really crazy being in a room full of people that can do so many different voices.

Bingo! The voice on the last part is simply great!

[Gajj]

Xenon is my favorite VO in the game.

Male Hawke encounters his future self in a time paradox. You heard it here first.

Hawke just became ten times more epic.

[Raltar]

Now that it is known that Hawke and Xenon have the same voice actor, that means the chances of Xenon showing up again are high. Assuming Hawke is in the next game. But if I had to choose Hawke or Xenon, I'd have to go with Xenon. So make it happen, Bioware.

[jaybee93]

Xenon is the reason I love the black emporium. I had no idea about the VA though. I'd though it was Brian Blessed!

[BaroqueOut]

This is a weird question, but did the same man do the voice for the Sloth Demon at the start of the Mage Origin in DA:O? Every time I hear Xenon, I keep thinking about that bear and how similar they sound, haha.

Maybe it depends on the answers you pick? My snarky Hawke was hardly monotone or dry. Or maybe it's that pesky personal preference thing creeping up again. :innocent:

He's rather creepy, especially the fact he has an urchin. Hopefully the kid just goes out and does errands for him.

You are far too optimistic, my friend.

*jaw hits the floor* 

I would have never guessed they were one and the same. Wow--he's a good voice actor; that's some serious acting range.

Dude that is an awesome, awesome tidbit of information.  I love it!

[monima]

Oh yes please, he was a cool addition. Should expand more on him:)
I definintly did not recognise his VA, very well done to him.

[Naitaka]

You do know that there's no "Xenon the Antiquarian", the Urchin is
really the greatest ventriloquist in Thedas and it's been him that's
talking all along.















Ok, fine, I made that up, but it'd be so epic if it were true...

[DJ0000]

I wish there was more interaction with him. I can't beleive it's the same voice as Hawke.

Anyone think he wants the unrchin for when he finally gets his hands on Flemeth's Grimoir.
