SR's voice is essential, iconic

New Basso, new Garrett.
Or maybe the real Basso od'd on healing potions and stopped aging

To each his or her own


I never said it didn't. When you can have the Thief total package, wouldn't you strive for that? Anyone could 'voice act'. Personally, I prefer to hear "Garrett" when I play Thief or as close to "Garrett" as possible so it doesn't feel like I'm playing a fan mission or an entirely different character/person.


And chocolates trump broccoli. Look, I realize voice acting is probably rock bottom on your list of priorities, and the nuance in levels of quality are either imperceptible to you or you don't care. But if it's so not important, what is the harm in getting someone I'm guessing the vast majority would appreciate and enjoy because they're hearing good 'ole "Garrett"? Do you think that if they get a voice actor that actually sounds like Garrett the gameplay and texture quality are all the sudden going to tank? Sorry, I just don't get your logic. If you're not familiar with game development, I understand. But if that's the case, please consider leaving the actual development to the developers. If Thief IP gets in the right hands, they'll know how to deliver good voice acting, including a Garrett voice actor that some or a lot of us can appreciate, and also be able to deliver a good game you'll like. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Getting Stephen Russell or a Garrett-like voice actor isn't going to blow the multi-million dollar budget. It's not like they're going to hire Robert Downey, Jr. to voice Garrett and use his likeness or anything, which would blow the budget unless he's a mega Thief fan and donates his time.


That's good. For me, I hear the 'could be a lot better' voice acting in many fan missions. And it's the main (possibly only) thing that ruins the immersion for me in The Dark Mod, especially when guards/NPCs become alert. I've been hoping for some voice acting updates/replacements to the base game-set for years.


I don't really understand what you're saying, but again, good quality voice acting or an actor who sounds quite like Garrett all the sudden means that the Animation team on a new Thief game won't be able to implement good movements? Or somehow using Stephen Russell in TDS impaired Ion Storm Austin so much that animations weren't to your liking? I'm willing to bet there was no correlation between the two.


I'm pretty sure the game explains this through texts, etc. I recommend playing the game again or Google-searching the plot and keeping an open mind. Did them hiring a decent voice actor cause this mult-hundred year story calamity you speak of, though? I really doubt it


Right, so if they hire me or you to voice Garrett that will allow them to fix all the issues. Got it ;)


Yep! You got a couple of them. Underworld Ascendant (2018) was a big one, too... had many speaking lines.

i think my point was clear i find voice to be one of the lesser things needed in a fan mission compared to story line , game play and assets in fan missions

for example ,conal voice is amazing,zaya voice in t2x was great,etc

not having a Garrett voice did not lessen any fan mission i ever played if anything it made it better,as it gave diversity while playing

also it seems a lot of the more recent Garrett voice seem to use him in a more comedy way when i feel Garrett is dead serious after all he has been through
