I hate Molag Bal's current voice.

I know there are far more pressing issues with this game, but it'd be nice if they could rerecord Molag Bal with his Skyrim VA. DCUO did this with Wonder Woman. For one thing, he just sounds so generic and dull. He was genuinely creepy and intimidating in Skyrim, to the point where my brother and I were actually too freaked out to complete his mission at one point. Another thing is that he sounds exactly like the Prophet. Except he's like the generic villain version. Is it the same voice actor? Because that's pretty lame.

It's a minor thing, but every time I hear Molag Bal say something mildly cool, I can't help but think how much more intimidating it'd be with the Skyrim voice actor.

    It is not the same voice actor. The prophet is voiced by Michael Gambon (Dumbledore from Harry Potter) and Molag Bal is voiced by Malcolm MdDowell (Clockwork Orange).

    No. It's Malcolm McDowell ffs.

    Do not even remember Molag Bal speaking in Skyrim so can't have been that memorable.

    The Prophet is Michael Gambon. Very different voice. (Do keep waiting for him to slip & say 'Harry' instead of 'Vestige' :p )

    I know of a currently-out-of-work actor who'd love to voice some of the Nords in ESO.

    Molag Bal in Skyrim was way too high-pitched and drawling to fit the God of Schemes.

    Malcolm McDowell has that bass-y quality, that exceptionally rich timbre and menace that just exudes power in his voiceovers.

    He was perfect for the job.

    well seeing as how I don't think you can ever permanently kill a daedric prince he only has to win once, we have to win every time. plus he didn't lose overall, just that one scheme.
