I think, it's no wonder that some of the characters look similar to their voice actors. Anyway, feel free to voice your opinion on Arcanum's voice acting!

 

I loved all of the voice acting. Not to much to say, but it was interesting to see the real faces behind those voices.

 

Am I seeing triple? Anyway, for me, the voice acting is one of the many highlights of Arcanum and one of the primary reasons why I keep going back to the game. The voice acting fits so well with the story's setting.

 

Holy fuck - the guy who did Bates was Max from Sam & Max?

Insane :O

 

Richard Dean Anderson was in Fallout? FUCK! Now I need to track down Ruri and beg him to lend it to me again. Damn you, Stargate, it's your fault I even know who he is... Believe it or not, McGuyver has NEVER been aired here... I am so deprived...

Arcanum does have some of the greatest voice acting ever.

 

You live in Tasmania, Vorak? :roll:

 

Okay.

1: I'm not Tasmanian, I'm just cursed to live here until I have enough money to escape here.

2: Your channel 7 and channel 10 are our Southern Cross. We miss shitloads of good stuff. ARGH! It seems like they cut all the awesome stuff and leave us with football and mindlessly bad talk shows. :cry:

 

K'an Hua has the most stunning voice acting in the game, in my opinion. You have to play the evil path if only for the sake of meeting him. And you have to play it twice, because he has a completely different (and very hilarious) dialog for dumb characters. Needless to say it's pretty depressing that Kay Kuter died two years after the release of the game. But at least his voice lives on.

Here are some samples of K'an Hua's voice acting:
Normal
For dummies

 

I thought it made him sound like he was missing a front tooth or two.

 

I was six years old and the pollution in Melbourne was literally killing me. Tasmania has less people and by extension less pollution. Yeah. That worked.

 

Omg I knew it! I was playing Resident Evil 4, and when Luis was talking to Leon, he sounded a bit like Virgil. And it turns out, both characters voices were done by Rino Romano.

 

This topic will be made into an article at the main site later.

If anybody wants to spice it up with descriptions of the voiced characters or something else, feel free to drop me a PM.

 

Don't tempt me, Drog... Do you really want hysterical fangirl ranting in your PMs?

 

Could someone procure a sample of Geoffrey's voice acting? I've found myself needing to show people how awesome it is on four different occasions in the past year, but I haven't found it anywhere.

 

Here's one.
