The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Voice of Skyrim

[xaxie1]

I think this is the best Likes/Dislikes Bar I've ever seen.

[xSheogorathxThexMadx]

THE POWER OF TALOS COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF TALOS COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF TALOS COMPELS YOU!

[AliTubelog]

best old voice actor ive heard was marius from d2

[AidanVsg]

when I heard 0:34 , I though he will continue by "...but then he took an arrow to the knee" -_-

Internet made me crazy :(

[tachikoma747]

I wonder what Christopher Plummer thought when Bethesda asked him to do a voiceover...

[Kikeesperto]

HOLY SHIT! I just asked to Google who is the voice of Pathurnax,and it is Charles Martinet,the voice of mario!

[TheIRSMusic]

@Kikeesperto wow

[Raptor3946]

I don't know why but I think it would of been cool to have an actor like Sam Worthington or Hugo Weaving to have done a voice or two for skyrim :P

[kwaka66666]

I can't say that voice acting of skyrim is good... nowhere near mass effect and deus ex...

[ShadowCrafterX]

I have the main theme as my ringtone i barely answer my phone...

[MaskedItalians]

Thumbs up if you want to know who the voice actor for the guy who says FUS RO DAH is!

[Yuurekk]

you all came here for Fus Ro Dah, and you aint got shit.

[Biscuitgamer]

@Yuurekk I didn't come here for 'FUS RO DAH!' in the first place, I came here because of watching 'The Sound of Skyrim' on my Xbox 360 when I wanted to find out, if this vid is also on YouTube. It is, so I came to 'The Voice of Skyrim'. ;-)

[MaskedItalians]

I really want to know who the voice actor for FUS RO DAH! Is...

[Biscuitgamer]

@MaskedItalians Me too, please beg for thumbs up!

[allrequiredfields]

God damn it - * you're* dealing with...

[allrequiredfields]

Man, I love hearing his and Christopher Plummers voice in this game, I really, really do, but I'd sacrifice that to hear more voice actors and less repetitive dialogue throughout the land. Having your follower, the merchant your dealing with and some random walking by, all with the same voice actor, talking at the same time... yeah.

[Pilaf1984]

I love his voice, but fuck Esbern for asking me to kill Paarthurnax.

[Exeron91]

Cubase! Whaaat uuuup!

[AvidHobbyist]

too bad i'd never heard esbern in the game because of a bug

[MrPepperdude]

Awesome voice, Max really hits the spots!

[kyuteh]

omg hes using cubase

[nofreedomofspeech]

Max Von Sydow är ju kung (borde vara i spelet också)!

[vudurabbit]

Fuuuuuuu I dont have the money to buy it

[MrS1lent0ne]

3:28 - Because an-echoic baffles need closeups too.

[salopasolini54]

1 person bought MW3

[JLowe2013]

At 2:35 I was all "Spoilers! NOOOOO," and then he explained so I was all "Phew!"

[alaskanhuskeee92]

i love the way his skull is shaped.

[jibbleliciousd00]

they should put an easteregg of him saying YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!

[helmsplitter0233]

gandalf? 1:14

[HiddenYoshi]

this guy needs to read lord of the rings books and put the recording on tape

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

Jag e dödN^

[MrQueenie]

@EndureFocusEngageDie Har du kommit för att hämta mig?

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

@MrQueenie Jag har redan länge gått vid din sida.

[BoogeyMan154]

@rundownaxe

The pauses don't bother me. They just allow me to observe or imagine what he just described, without wandering off in thought & missing what he says next. If they were longer it'd bother me though

[TheTennisDrummer]

This better be game of the year or I will be so pissed.

[Mooonkey01]

@TheTennisDrummer Even if it's not, it'll still be just as awesome ^^

[TheTennisDrummer]

@Mooonkey01 True dat! Haha

[Mooonkey01]

Wow this guys voice, even through a youtube video, feels like it's sort of painting in my mind, a fireplace with a kettle of tea in front, inside a rugged cottage somewhere on a snowy, windswept mountainside. Awesome.

[KillerFruit7Studios]

@Mooonkey01 i couldnt have said it better

[rundownaxe]

Am i the only one that found some of the pauses between phrases out of place or anoying? I always felt like it took away the rythm of a conversation. It's like they tell you a story as if they were listing some things you had to get at the grocery.

I think what's missing is the breathing. During the long part in the video it sounds very good but when there are pauses not so. The part from 1:06 to 1:09 is a good exemple.

[masonpatrickwebb]

@rundownaxe Didn't you see him clicking to play it?.... or even if it wasn't perhaps its meant to be dramatic, or perhaps its just to go along with the screenplay.

[rundownaxe]

@masonpatrickwebb When i played Oblivion this kind of annoyed me. Many of the dialogs fell short on delivery. Maybe i'm too picky but I think it's small details like this that makes you think you're talking to a real person and not just some pre recorded sentences.

I just hope there's more flow to the talking of the NPCs in skyrim.

[masonpatrickwebb]

@rundownaxe Its skyrim... Expectations are high, and if they don't meet our expectations... I guess Bethesda will have to kill us with dragons

[bbqplatypus318]

Max von Sydow is a fucking legend.

[LazarusGrimm]

Max von Sydow is... DRAGONBORN!!! :D (Sweden4ever)

[Delinz]

Max von Sydow is from Sweden!

[PanuSurvivalGuide]

Thats awesome this game gets better and better.

[degoban]

Sorry but the denture sound is kinda annoying.

[4060xcdt]

1 person is unable to have orgasms.

[teamamericaworldpoli]

@4060xcdt probably that same one person who bought the one "carmine must die shirt" in gears

[comsoner]

Max Von Sydow, goddam thats brilliant voice acting.

[skull465]

thumbs up if u think hes gonna get called esbern by random ppl

[69skyrim]

thumbs up for esbern!!

[will79randomstuff]

Honestly I am far more impressed with Max than I was with that guy from Star Trek (sorry I forgot his name) who played the emperor in Oblivion.

[skull465]

@will79randomstuff  they were both awesome

[Kinotsuke]

This guy is fuckin inspiring.

[kayne32]

hail ming

[itsthevirginXD]

thanks so much for creating a game that doesn't have a single friggin gun in sight

[AssHat014]

@itsthevirginXD excluding the mods of course.

[Jahooba]

@itsthevirginXD The Dwemer may have guns.

[itsthevirginXD]

@Jahooba well they don't and FYI the only dwemer left in the game is in morrowind the rest vanished

[Jahooba]

@itsthevirginXD How do you know? Have you played Skyrim? There may be some form of projectiles used by the Centurions.

[itsthevirginXD]

@Jahooba u dont have to know whats in skyrim to know they have no guns you just play the previous games and read a bit of dwemer lore on it they have mechanisms that are powered by steam such as sentinels but no guns

[GamexGuitarGod55]

@itsthevirginXD Agreed your very smart. :)

[Hyperian]

@itsthevirginXD there used to be guns in games, but then i took an arrow to the knee

[VanguardBeta]

@Hyperian Doesn't even make sense, 0/10

[RULaughingAtThisCrap]

@itsthevirginXD There's a Skyrim musket mod now...

[aztaclalz]

Max Von Sydow! Swedish power! <3

[CarcosanNoble]

Max Von Sydow will live!

[vanomxxx]

"And dying stuff.."

 wha :(

[TheMegaZords]

not sure if scrolls or skyrim

[gamezonic]

@TheMegaZords ???

[TheMegaZords]

@TheMegaZords Bethsda sued Mojang(Minecraft) because they made a game called Scrolls and Bethesda feared that people couldn't tell the difference between the games so Mojang was told by law, which is pure dumbassness.

[Iamthecrook]

@TheMegaZords Please please please get your facts straight. Otherwise you may be available for a position for Faux News.

Bethesda has issued a Cease and Desist to Mojang claiming that the Scrolls game currently in development by Mojang is too similar to their flagship product "The Elder Scrolls". No-one has been sued. They are still in negotiations.

Notch has been speaking with their lawyers.

[TheMegaZords]

@Iamthecrook Thats right. I'm even still not sure if there's Scrolls or Skyrim shown in this Video because, I can't tell the difference between the games, thats why bethesda said it.

[joeyxl3456]

greatness

[klastorps]

Love this Guy (Max) Have watched many of his films and tv-.series, he is my favorite actor from my country :)

[CrimsonToast]

From Ingmar Bergman to Todd Howard, Max Von Sydow is a lucky man.

[klastorps]

@CrimsonToast Lucky? haha he is a really good actor, luck gets you nowhere in this buisness. whould he be working with guys like Leonardo Di Caprio, Jackie Chan, Russel Crowe and Cate Blanchett, just because he is lucky?`;)

[JimmyFraska]

@IMOUTOFUSERNAMES1 OMFG, how did I not get that the first time I read it?  I deserve to be made fun of.

[JimmyFraska]

@IMOUTOFUSERNAMES1 I... I can't tell if you're making fun of me or not.

[JimmyFraska]

Oh wow, I'm the 9000th viewer.

[Goshujinsama01]

Amazing work btw.

[Goshujinsama01]

Wow this guy gives alot of spoilers :D

[Siege900]

I love how he says that Sydow's character could die. In any other game that would be a huge spoiler, but it means nothing but maybe in ES.

[LifesProtagonist]

This is absolutely incredible voice acting. Screw you, Ebert. Games like this, and Mass Effect, and Half Life 2 have long surpassed any film.

[crazyhorseslap]

if i have to wait any longer i'll end up going insane and go to dimentia

[SaintSanguine]

My goosebumps had goosebumps.

[Printercupmouse]

Look to my coming, at first light, on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.

If this guy said that it would be awesome. Or get Ian McKellen.

[DemiathDoomhammer]

@Printercupmouse - haha, Ian McKellen has a pretty full schedule. he's doing the Hobbit for the next two years.. but Max von Sydow is great, he did the villain in "Rush Hour 3"

[187onaPigeon]

This is indeed a mix of Gandalf and Saruman...

He is great.

[GoldenGuns58]

@187onaPigeon -_-... f**k Lord Of The Rings, this is beast.

[KORNONDACOB]

Esburn, Esbourne, whatever. he sounds like Gandalf

[Jowain92]

For some reason I think about Gandalf and Saruman fused into one when I hear him reading.

Von Sydow is as an excellent choice, can't wait to play the game

[aznboy3213]

you guys are such genius to make this legendary serie

[jonathanzaccheo1]

wow fucking spoiler. now we know esbern dies.

[N7Rogue]

@jonathanzaccheo1 Sorry boss but your wrong if you listened you would realise he said ANYONE can die, similar to Morrowind regardless of their importance

[Ceaker247]

@N7Rogue I just hope we can KILL everybody and not just K.O them. It pissed me off in Oblivion. Successfully sneaking behind someone to kill, only to find that the NPC is essential >:(

[N7Rogue]

@Ceaker247 You can kill everyone there are no essential npc's, your probably get a text box like in morrowind saying you have doomed everyone or something...but you can still play

[Dramen93]

@N7Rogue From my understanding, there are SOME essential npc's, but they're much less common than in Oblivion. Basically, for most quest-giving npc's, you can kill them because they can be replaced. However, really important main characters like Esbern cannot be replaced, so you can't actually kill them.

Again, I'm just going by something I remember reading. Could be wrong.

[Doublicon]

@jonathanzaccheo1 He hasn't confirmed that he is scripted to die, just that there is the possibility of him dying.

[lolox318]

is our character fully voiced like mass effect or dragon age 2??

[Godzilla0nIce]

[MrALenCar321]

voice sounds great

[SangiNET]

In some angles he looks like Jack Shepard from LOST. Awesome.

[AlphaEffectFR]

1:02

>THE FLESH OF LIGHT ?!

>FLESH OF LIGHT ?!

>FLESHLIGHT ?!

[Soreanol]

@AlphaEffectFR

A flash of light.

[whatsittoyaaa]

"It's Vigo!"

[Centration]

For Dovahkiin! Our king!

[mmrcrowley]

max von sydow är KUNG

[mmrcrowley]

max von sydow är KUNG

[chris84bloom]

Yes phone book! :D

Thanks RPGGameStation for the fabulous Skyrim uploads!!

[jagerma5ter]

is that cubase 5?

[SgtSamProductions]

How many more voice actors will they have??? Oblivion had, like, 3...

[ToothpickMcBrainy]

@SgtSamProductions

Apparently, they're going to bring on tons of voice actors to avoid that very problem.

[MrALenCar321]

@ToothpickMcBrainy  its seems max von sydow is voicing for esbern

[ToothpickMcBrainy]

@MrALenCar321

Thank you for telling me something I was already well aware of, FROM THE VERY VIDEO THAT I COMMENTED ON.

What would I ever do without you?

[MrALenCar321]

@MrALenCar321 i just saw the elder scrolls wiki!! :)

[ranma763]

At first I was annoyed when he said "And dying" and then he talked about how everyone can die.

[05macdonaldsmitha]

i think esbern is talking about oblivion, forboding, lightning but orange light, the border between worlds.......either that or the fire of dragons...

[Ultrascale]

@05macdonaldsmitha Well he says it's in the sky so dragons :)

[05macdonaldsmitha]

@Ultrascale yes, but do you remember the sky looking like orange lightning when you were near an oblivion gate, because this game has stuff about oblivion in it, for instance, the only reason you have to defeat Alduin is cos he came out of oblivion during the oblivion crisis

[05macdonaldsmitha]

@Ultrascale yeees, but the red flashing sky when youre near an oblivion gate? i do think its dragons however, but i was just giving you my reasoning

[lordinear]

3:45 - 3:48  lol xD he's pretty cute :)

[blacken32]

I canot wait for this game, Oblivion was epic so im sure this game is going to be much better and from this clip i can tell the voice acting is going to be amazing cant wait for november!

[bhrmaximo]

2:01 he looks like caius cosades LOL

[carlosmspk]

I hope they have more voice variation unlike oblivion...

[POLE7645]

@carlosmspk

They kinda learned from that mistake in Fallout 3. Except for the nameless NPCs, I rarely heard two characters that sounded identical in the same place (except for the ghouls and even then, there was some variation).

The biggest problem was the "Rumors" function, because what they said was chosen randomly, so they had to make ever characters sound the same to limit the amount of voice work to record (and even then, remember the beggars).

[dupree82]

No words are necessary for our appreciation. Just likes. Thx rpggamestation.

[RPGameStation]

@dupree82 thank you!=)

[RydeMusic]

awesome
