![]() More than anything Sean Bean is easily the best actor we’ve ever seen (SPOILER) merge himself with the spirit of Akatosh, the Dragon-God of Time. Anyroad, Bean’s portrayal of the lost priest son of the emperor is top-notch, even though we don’t see as much of him as we’d like (same goes for Sir Patrick, of course) before we install him as emperor and rush off the kill the game’s big baddie, Mankar Camoran, voiced by none other than Terence Stamp. That said, this is a game set in a world that contains imps, goblins, ogres and items like the Escutcheon of Chorrol and Mankar Camoran's Robe, so maybe we’ll let it pass. ***Gaming Oscar-worthy? ***Sean Bean as Sir Patrick Stewart son?

Why? Well, he’s Liam Neeson, and his particular set of skills set him out from any voice-acting crowd. Gaming Oscar-worthy? Though the game boasts other big name voice-acting talent, such as Ron Perlman (The Narrator), Malcolm McDowell (President John Henry Eden) and, um, Odette Yustman (Amata), Neeson outshines the whole sorry lot of them.
