Listening closely pays off – they reveal some character details!
One could say – here presents itself a truly convincing group of high-profile actors or in this case voice actors. Of course, they voice the English-speaking characters, but they also offer some interesting insights into the prominent NPC characters of TESO. Despite the affection for the well-known actors and voice actors, one almost feels like playing the English version. However, you won’t learn that from the video, the German voice actors are impressive as well. We’ve taken the names from the official press release:
The role-playing epic is enriched by a true star ensemble of German voice actors: Otto Mellies (e.g. the German voice of Christopher Lee), Rainer Schöne (e.g. the German voice of Willem Dafoe), Klaus-Dieter Klebsch (e.g. the German voice of Alec Baldwin), Frank Glaubrecht (e.g. the German voice of Al Pacino), Thomas Danneberg (e.g. the German voice of John Cleese), Wolfgang Condrus (e.g. the German voice of Ed Harris), Martin Kessler (e.g. the German voice of Vin Diesel) and Bernd Rumpf (e.g. the German voice of Liam Neeson) along with many other renowned speakers lend their voices to the German version.
And that wasn’t all, the other speakers are also quite notable German-speaking voice actors.
Thomas Danneberg voices Cadwell, a cheerful and loveably crazy runaway slave who embarks on a series of intricate quests in the Empire. Portrayed as High King Emeric, Bernd Rumpf plays a wealthy merchant who was able to ascend to the throne due to luck and determination. Tanja Geke (e.g. the German voice of Zoe Saldana) takes on the role of Ayrenn, the leader of the Aldmeri Dominion and queen of the High Elves, who feels significantly more comfortable wielding the blade than her crown.
Additionally, Klaus-Dieter Klebsch voices the role of Abnur Tharn, a cunning old wizard and politician who leads the Elder Council of the Empire and represents the de-facto power behind the Ruby Throne. Otto Mellies lends his distinctive voice to the Prophet, a mysterious blind man who guides players in their search for their soul. Frank Glaubrecht takes on the role of the key figure Molag Bal, an evil Daedric god from another dimension who seeks to enslave the mortal souls of Tamriel.
The Dragon King Jorunn is voiced by Wolfgang Condrus, the renegade High Elf sorcerer (the most powerful necromancer in the world) by Martin Kessler and and and. It’s going to be exciting and the drums are about to sound! Gather your friends and prepare for the battle for Tamriel and against the Daedra Molag Bal! We will also be at the front lines. 😉
