I don't think any bioware games has ever had a poor voice actor.

Some voices are awful though. I mean, listen to some in the BG series or in Jade Empire... ^^

[Icy Magebane]

Aside from Freddie Prinze Jr, I don't know who did what voice, but the characters who I thought had great VAs were:  Iron Bull, Dorian, Cole, Leliana, and Morrigan.  As far as side characters go... I honestly don't remember being impressed by too many of their voices besides Stroud's.  His VA also did a great job IMO.

[Techromancer]

Claudia Black. She's the queen.

[RoraM]

I loved Stéphane Cornicard as Riordan, but his voice is so distinct, having him voice other characters (except for Stroud...I secretly like the idea all Orlesian Grey Wardens sound the same...) is sort of jarring.

[DialupGeneral]

Mika Simmons, aka Queen Anora and various other voices. Her accent and delivery is like catnip to me. I hope she gets a chance to be a major character in the future.

[Terodil]

I agree: Voice acting has always been Bioware's strong suit, and DA(:I) is no exception. Morrigan, Flemeth, Merrill, Isabela, Irving, Cullen, Varric... all developed such traction also thanks to their outstanding VA.

Although... if we talk best VA in all BW games... EDI (Tricia Helfer) anyone? That VOICE... (esp. as EDI continues growing as a person).

[CDR Aedan Cousland]

Bioware VA's specifically:

-Simon Templeman (Loghain, Caladrius, Gavin Archer, etc.)*

-Simon Chadwick (Nathaniel Howe)*

-Nicholas Boulton (Male Hawke, Major Coats, etc.)*

-Ramon Tikaram (Dorian)*

-Brian Bloom (Varric)*

-Timothy Watson (Teagan, etc.)*

-Anthony Howell (Gaspard, Knight-Captain Rylen)*

-Stephane Cornicard (Riordan*, Frederic**)

-James Norton (Cole)**

-Adam Howden (DA2 Anders)**

-Greg Ellis (Awakening Anders, Cullen, etc. (I like his cocky, silly characters better than his serious ones))**

-Josh Cohen (only voices minor, unnamed characters in Bioware's games, but he voices Ostrava in From's Demon's Souls, and I absolutely adore his character and acting, so he still gets a mention here)**

-Claudia Black (Morrigan)

-Freddie Prinz Jr. (James Vega (Iron Bull was underwhelming IMO))

-Mark Meer (Commander Shepard)

-Joanna Roth (Aveline)

-Miranda Raison (Cassandra, etc.)

-Jamie Glover (The Architect, The Statue of Peace (his voice is so smooth and soothing; I love it))

 

*I have a huuuge thing for deep voices, and these men are phenomenal with their talent as well as their voices (which I could listen to forever [dreamy sigh])

**These men have really cute, sweet voices that I love in addition to their splendid talent, so good for them

 

I could continue because they have a lot of great voice actors, but this is already running long, and I've said the most important ones to me.

 

I'd go on about my other big favorites, but they haven't done VA work for Bioware games AFAIK, so it'd be irrelevant.

 

Edit: I also really love British male Inquisitor's voice. He's got a few weak deliveries of his lines, but almost everything is golden and really sincere-sounding. Also Master Wade! And Blackwall! I like American female Inquisitor's voice, but a lot of her lines sound a bit monotone, though she can sound sincere--especially her laughter. Don't really like Brit female Inquisitor, personally (same goes for fem-Hawke, but Brit Fem Inq is still much better in comparison--weak delivery, underwhelming and weak-sounding voice (esp. compared to male Hawke!), etc. It'd be more fitting of the characters if they'd gotten someone with a powerful voice (plus, good acting) like Aveline's. Also, Liara. Her voice is fine, at least, but her acting is subpar.) And, I'd love American male Inquisitor if they hadn't artificially deepened it, ruining it. (I like his actor, and think he does great work in other games, and Bioware completely eff'd him over by doing that to his voice.) :/

 

Really like Merrill's voice work, too, except for the fact that she frequently flubs up her elven pronunciations, lol. Ashley William's VA is also really good, in my opinion, except that Bioware completely destroyed Ash's character in ME3. Didn't do her any justice. Made me think that leaving her behind at Virmire is more of a mercy to her character than anything, buuut I still like her better than Kaidan at this point, so it's still a tough decision. Also, I forgot to mention Jennifer Hale--she's pretty great, too. Weak/over-the-top delivery on occasion, but that's almost every Bioware VA.

[TaHol]

Ramon Tikaram and English male inquisitor...Harry Hadden-Paton. I generally like voice like his, there is this softness in it, and listen him and Ramon Tikaram in Dorian+Inky-romance-sceen never gets old. "Show off". I think I make it a ring-tone to my phone.

[Han Yolo]

My favourite is Harry Hadden-Paton aka British male Inky. I would listen to him reading maths textbooks.

[Teddie Sage]

Male Hawke's. I giggled in glee when I heard him for the first time in DAI after importing my character and remaking him. I missed him so bad.

[Spooky81]

I don't think any bioware games has ever had a poor voice actor.

 

Jessica Chobot / Diana Allers, which was a dumb decision to bring her on board.  All other voice actors had to go through fierce competition and earn their role in a BioWare RPG.

[Spooky81]

Too many great voice actors across many of their games for me to list this early in the morning.

[Hexoduen]

When it comes to voice acting Bioware is by far the best, amazing talents and too many to make a list

 

One of my favorites is Eve Myles as Merrill: "By the Dread Wolf! Why is my house always a mess when people are here? It's clean sometimes, I swear "

[Bioware-Critic]

That is impossible to answer for me!

 

There are far too many excellent voice actors and characters in this series ...

They also constantly keep making a better job from one installment to the next

Also I think that it kind of is partially dependant on which characters one likes or dislikes.

 

If I had to choose a couple from DA:I out of the blue ...

I'd go with Dorian, Josephine, Cassandra, Cole, Vivienne and Blackwall ... the Inquisitor's voices ...

 

Do you see ??!! It is absolutely impossible

 

This thread is REALLY stupid

You are right - it is far easier to list the ones that did not belong there ... among the ... "stellar ones" - I mean

[Draining Dragon]

Jennifer Hale is my favorite, though I wish she had played a more important character.

[roselavellan]

I thought the voice acting in both DAO and DAI (didn't play DA2) was perfect - possibly the best of all the games I've played.

 

To pick favourites though, I'll go with Solas and Cassandra.

 

Honourable mentions to Morrigan, Oghren (ok, he's disgusting but he makes me laugh), Alistair.

[CronoDragoon]

Alistair Parker as Blackwall was the real standout to me. I mean, just close your eyes and listen to this scene (Spoilers):

 

[Spooky81]

Jennifer Hale is my favorite, though I wish she had played a more important character.

 

Fem Shepard and Bastila Shan were pretty significant roles.

[DaemionMoadrin]

Jo Wyatt - female Hawke. Especially the sarcastic one.

[happy_daiz]

I couldn't pick just one, and I do not want to put these in a particular order.

 

Ramon Tikaram - Dorian

Gideon Emery - Fenris

Alec Newman - Sebastian Vael / Seneschal Bran

Rick D. Wasserman - Arishok

James Norton - Cole

 

...and a few more.

 

Simon Chadwick - Nathaniel Howe

David Sterne - Corypheus

Miranda Raison - Cassandra

Corinne Kempa - Leliana (as long as she's not singing)

Kate Mulgrew - Flemeth

 

Honestly, I keep thinking of more. Maybe I should stop here. As someone else said, BioWare has always nailed it for casting.

[Cz-99]

DA: O - Mad Hermit

 

DA: 2 - Male Hawke

 

DA: I - Abelas

[Bunny]

DAO Companion - Claudia Black as Morrigan

DAO "Supporting" - Kate Mulgrew as Flemeth

 

DA2 Companion - Eve Myles as Merrill

DA2 "Supporting" - Miranda Raison as Dulci de Launcet

 

DAI Companion - Ramon Tikaram as Dorian

DAI "Supporting" - I don't know... Eve Karpf as Fiona I guess

 

Best line ever: "Who eez zees wooman Teegunn?" (Isolde, DAO)
