Interesting VO Talent that you would never notice

    [​IMG] Does anyone know where to find a list of voice actors/actresses in the BG, IWD, Torment, etc. games that tells which actor plays which character's voice? This is a lot more interesting than it may sound. One day, I was thumbing through my many game manuals reading the credits (how geeky) when I noticed that much VO talent was done by the same people, no matter what company the game was made by! For example, those of you familiar with Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, did you know that the dark jedi Tavion is played by Kath Soucie, who voiced Aerie in BG2? Baldur's Gate manual does not say who plays who, but JK's did. After listening to Tavion a few times, despite her harsh Jaheira-like tone, it was sweet Aerie underneath! You would never otherwise know. It was very fun. Try it! Anyway, any clues?

    [​IMG] http://www.imdb.com has it for some of the games, and some characters. It also has wrong actors listed with some of the NPCs, but still, it's the only site where you can find the info.

    By the way, Taluntain, how do you know some of them are wrong?

    Farthy, when you've played them enough, you'll know too.

    Also, at the end of the game, they always list all the actors. Not all of them have been entered into the imdb site, so a whole slew of them are "un-credited" as of now.

    Yeah, I know, but at the end of a game, it only lists the actors, not the characters.
