Any era, doesnt matter. I just want to know of games where the actors knocked it out of the park.

I don't know if it is the best, but I liked the voice acting in Slay the Princess.

In terms of pure voice acting I think it's Date Everything. The game have a 100 different professional voice actors that want to seduce you.

I love how in game everyone dislikes molly, but everyone who plays the game would die for that lovable hunk of junk.

The voice acting in Hellblade always gives me chills.

The female player character in Outriders was surprisingly very good. With the right face and hair, it was like Bobby Draper from The Expanse.

Too bad the rest of the game was kind of meh.

Not necessarily the biggest roles but I've always appreciated:

  • The narrator in the original Medieval: Total War (intro for example). Set the mood.

  • Prophet of Truth in Halo 2.

  • Dunmer male voice actor for Morrowind.

The first and last especially set the atmosphere so well.

For me, one 2001 game is lodged forever in my mind, Hostile Waters

It's a great game, although sadly won't run on modern systems. And not strictly voice acting, more narration, but I've just re-watched the intro and Tom Baker's narration still gives me shivers.

Almost a quarter of a century since I first played it, the phrase "These are hostile waters" in Tom's voice still pops into my head from time to time.

I don't play as many games as some of you, but Christopher Judge as Kratos is my favorite.

I remember most of the super giant and double fine games having good voice acting. Jennifer Hale Femshepard from mass effect is a classic, and Matt Mercer does some great work with Edér and Aloth in pillars of eternity. Anything Keith David does is gold.
