What about Mark Hamill's performance as The Joker? I don't think you can top the Joker XD.

One actor that everyone would surely love to have working with them on their projects though is Johnny Depp, he does amazing things with his voice and he does a very good British accent.
But he would surely be expensive, unless he agreed to make a cameo.

Simon Pegg would be another cool actor to get for the game. He did Ben Finn for Fable 3 .

I'd definitely want Gideon Emery back. I just love that voice of his. Apart from that, I'd want Simon Templeman as a villian. He has a great villian voice lol.

Hamill is a great voice actor.

Hugo Weaving. If a guy can play a drag queen, Elrond, V and the Agent Smith, he´ll be able to voice anything.

Kate Mulgrew!

Simon Templeman is an outstanding voice actor, the landsmeet in DAO was one of my favourite parts of the game he really made the part of Loghain Mac Tir and Kate Mulgrew too is extraordinary, i prefer relatively unknowns to established celebrities it gives the charachter more credibility

I'd say get an accomplished pro to voice the main character, but it's too late for that.  Bioware seems to lately have the habit of not using known va's for their main characters, and I tend to feel that the choices they do end up choosing cannot pull off what Bioware wants them to do.  I'd say use some one like Phil Lamarr or even Nolan North (but not as the Nathan Drake voice, the dude has range that is not ever shown because devs don't challenge him).

Gideon Emery was wasted on Fenris. He and male Hawke should have switched places.

I don't think Simon Templeman is going to be used for any main characters or villains again, as he was already Loghain, though.

Couldn't care less about FemHawke, until Bioware starts actually differentiating between genders, the playthrough is largely wasted.

Jo Wyatt pulled off Fem Hawke brilliantly.

Timothy Dalton is a great antagonist voice actor too, though I'm just thinking of his part in Hot Fuzz XD.

I would like Bioware to get the cheapest voice actors and no big name voice actors so they can concentrate on the game play and story and spend money on the real game necessities.

There are many good voice actors around that do not require a fortune to hire.

Granted, but the cost of an awesome VA for a villian or two isn't going to be that much, all things considered.  They don't have that many lines.

Ok.... Guys with awesome voices (I'll stick with British/Irish guys) who I would love to hear in a dragon age game

Michael Gambon
Ian McKellen
Christopher Lee

You didn't consider everything. DA3 also needs DLCs (and let's hope an expansion). I think that the costs of voice actors and their availability determines the content of story driven DLCs. The budget of DLCs is obviously lower and getting the VAs for the main characters and the NPCs together in the studio is not an easy task. All these people work on various projects and syncing their schedules is a real problem. You can see that at work in a lot content, from DA:O to ME2 DLCs.

Even if you had all the money in the world if the actor doesn't like the part or the script they will not accept the role.

I would rather have good voice acting, and it would be nice to have some actual British people do some voices. The American voice actors (though good) have slightly slowed down the speech due to the fact that they are concentrating on keeping their accents up.
Just watch the Deathly Hallows, you'll notice the difference between actual British people speaking and Dragon Age.

[JesterPsychotica]

Mark Meer to return as Jethann as a COMPANION/LI!

Mark Hamil, Arleen Sorkin, John Rhys-Davies, Malcolm McDowell, Mia Farrow, Cam Clarke, Diane Pershing, Joan Gerber, Neil Ross, Beau Billingslea...

Alot of these I'm picking from the Quest for Glory IV and V- with some personal favorites. (Those games might be a bit old for a few of you.  )

BW does not agree with you in a similar thread:

Nolan North!

I loved him in Uncharted 2.

Sadly I don't know how he does for English accents. The problem with American actors like him and, say, Nathan Fillion is that if you hired them they either have to sound like themselves or... they'll sound like someone who's trying on an English accent, and maybe sound completely different from the reason you wanted them in the first place. I mean, my nerd-crush on Nathan Fillion knows no bounds-- but can you picture him doing an English accent?

I guess we could always make him an elf. But I dunno.

I want genuine English people doing it. No more of that "what's goin on ere gov'ner" **** pulled by a lot of npc voice actor's trying to be English. No matter how good they are at voice acting, American's cannot pull off any British accents well enough. Their forced accents either sound like the Queen or the Artful Dodger and I don't want either of those for Hawke

This is why we do the majority of our voice recording in England. With real, genuine English actors (well... some of them are Scottish or maybe Irish, I don't think we're picky). Steve Valentine is an English actor working in LA, of which there are a few (thankfully). But those "fake accents" you're referring to are, 99% of the time, quite real, thank you.

Gimme Simon Templeman and Alan Rickman as LI VAs and I won't care about anything else.

[G00N3R7883]

For main characters, I would prefer new actors/actresses. Nothing against the ones from previous games - quite the opposite in fact. They did such a great job that I associate their voice with that existing character.

For example, Simon Templeman. He IS Loghain. I wouldn't be able to really focus on a new character with his voice. Heck, he was in an episode of the tv series "The Event", and for an entire scene I was thinking "is that Loghain? I'm sure its him. OMG it IS him" etc. I couldn't concentrate on what was actually being said in the scene.

Having said that, in terms of actors I already recognise from elsewhere, John Noble (Walter Bishop in the TV series "Fringe") would make an excellent big bad.
