Please hire these voice actors too in next content update

DeltaForce64x

My request from bioware games, they used to hire best voice actors on this planet but now sadly EA suddenly decided to "sunset" the SWTOR with a different dev team which known for maintanence mode for other smaller games, I guess their voice actors would be prefer work at somewhere else since content updates will be slower, SWTOR is my favourite game all time and I'm ANGRY AND MAD to the greedy and evil publisher EA who owns bioware and eventually ruined them, EA known for buying good talented devs then butchering them such as Bullfrog,Maxis,Westwood and now Bioware and soon Respawn I'm afraid. They used them like a toilet paper then throw them away, that is why they are pure evil. So, my idea and advice would be hire Mass Effect,Dragon Age and SWTOR voice actors to this studio who doing ESO, I bet EA want to reduce costs by hiring other actors, they are profit first by all means, that is why Anthem,Andromeda failed.

My first advice would be: Jo Wyatt aka female Imperial Agent in SWTOR/female Hawke in Dragon Age, she is a fantastic voice actor and I do LOVE her voice. Then, companions from SWTOR: Kira,Male IA,female Jedi Knight, Male jedi Knight. Then finally: Garrus from Mass Effect and of course Liara. Perhaps Lana Beniko too from SWTOR, Watcher Two from SWTOR

Grab them to the ESO before EA do something else! I bet Microsoft have plenty of dollars since MS owns ZOS/Bethesda, after all, my info Microsoft stole from me on my Windows 10 computer should be worth something!!! Yikes!!!!!

I won't disagree with them being great VA's especially Jo Wyatt, im pretty sure only the VA Director and whoever else works in that department can make that choice.

BioWare doesn't even have a producer or any director on SWTOR, EA reduced them to ashes, EA themselves have to do that decision. BioWare just a name since years now, just like Maxis on Sims 4. Its pains me to see how they destroyed them.

You probably missed the announcement, but the new Argonian Companion is voiced by the same V.A. as Garrus.

Microsoft bought the company to make money from it, not to spend money on it.

While I'm always open to new voice actors being brought into ESO, I've no problem with the ones they already use and the voice acting is among the best I've encountered in any game, and there's far more of it than in most games.

SWTOR's VA's are quite good but so are the ones that ESO has hired.(You also have some that worked on both ESO and SWTOR).

For example, Kira = Laura Bailey = Isobel Velois in ESO. The Female Jedi Knight = Kari Wahlgren = Crafty Lerisa and Nord Female Bards in ESO.

Personally, one of my favorite VA's from SWTOR that I hadn't run into before in other games was the Female Sorc VA: Xanthe Elbrick .

I think EA tends to get too much of the blame when the games they make don't get the desired results.

I played SWTOR off and on and to me, the game ended up in the position that it's in due to a wide variety of mistakes and missteps rather than something as simple as EA being a bit greedy.

I think we tend to see more failures from developers that had success in the past because games are now sold to larger audiences, the live service model is more common now, and games have more competitive and organized populations.

The reality is that for most of us the things we are passionate about aren't going to necessarily align with larger numbers of people. Thus, the larger an audience someone tries to reach following their passion the more likely they are to fail to reach success.

The live service model makes it so you either need to regularly hit solid results( or toss out enough stuff people hopefully don't actually notice the content is flawed before you move on to the next update). It's easier to do a good job once or get lucky once than to do a good job over and over.

Additionally, flaws at times could make games before live service games more memorable. KOTOR 2 for example was rushed and released in an incomplete state which allowed players to project what they wanted onto the story more than they would have otherwise been able to do which has potentially made it more special to them.

One of the first games I played online was a space shooter. It took around half a decade for players to completely break the combat experience by optimizing it to the limit and I had a blast during that time. If you released the same game today, it probably would get broken in under a month or two.

But a lot of those voice actors already do work in ESO. Voice actors often voice for multiple games.

Andromeda failed.

Also, Andromeda didn't fail, it actually sold well and is now, after the usual gaming community waah-ing has died down, actually seen for what it is, a pretty good game.
