Also just gotta throw it out there while Adam Baldwin has done great things with Firefly and Serenity, as well as Chuck. His biggest roll was Animal Mother from Full Metal Jacket.
To the topic at hand, I did find his voice a little "immersion breaking" because I recognized it so well knowing that he'd be in the game. However it didn't bother me about the lack of accent.
I was about to mention this, but I wouldn't call Animal Mother his biggest role. He didnt really become a household name until he started appearing on TV regularly (i.e. Firefly, Chuck, Angel, etc..). Animal Mother wasn't even really a main cast member of the film. He doesnt make his first appearance until well after half the film has played.
To be honest, I think it was meant to be immersion breaking. Alot of the VAs in the game had to have been picked, solely for their basis in sci-fi/fantasy already. They are meant to be heard and identified. It makes it that much more entertaining for those of us that are fans of the genre holistically.
Personally, I got a kick out of hearing Baldwin ingame whether it fit or not. Same can be said about Claudia Black (Farscape, Stargate SG-1), Tricia Helfer (BSG), Seth Green (Buffy), Carrie Ann Moss (Matrix), etc..
