ArchVileTerror Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I've seen a couple of threads crop up asking players to suggest which acting professionals they'd want to see or hear represent their own characters, but what about the non-player characters of City? What prompted this for me was the realization that Jenkins of Arachnos could be voiced by Stephen Merchant. While that would easily conjure images of Wheatley in most players' heads, I think that is totally on-brand for Jenkins. Appropriate as a bumbling idiot agent of Arachnos. So . . . how about the rest of you? Any top-picks for certain NPCs? (Feel free to select acting professionals who are still alive or already deceased.)

ArchVileTerror Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Well if it's going to be -that- way, then the only correct answer is Scott McNeil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-41LJi6Uno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironblade Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 3 hours ago, Aurora_Girl said: How many can we reasonably assign to Tara Strong? Three or four, probably. The Secret World has some great voice acting. There's one mission where you come across two agents arguing and I recognized the voices of Tara Strong and Tim Russ. And there's one super-creepy character who was voiced by, and actually looked like, Jeffrey Combs. 2 Originally on Infinity. I have Ironblade on every shard. - My only AE arc: The Origin of Mark IV (ID 48002) Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

merrypessimist Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Couldn't they just use Jennifer Hale for the chicks and Steve Blum for the dudes and have like 90% of all voices covered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 All the Arachnos Arbiters should be voiced by Hamill, with randomly generated put-downs. If I had to get DW voiced (and it would, as I hate my own voice when recorded), I'm hiring Marina Sirtis. WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE. Look out for me being generally cool, stylish and funny (delete as applicable) on Excelsior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combs has a great ability to portray put-upon moral self-righteousness. He might do as Clockwork King as well.
