Monkey Island. I loved those games. Adored them. Played them repeatedly. The 4th game does not exist :puts fingers in her ears and refuses to listen to anyone trying to tell her it was good: The Infinity Engine games too. I hate AD&D, and because I'm dyslexic I had a huge struggle understanding the character system, spells, combat, and so on. It was incredibly tough to play them. I completed all of them and loved them dearly. Planescape: Torment is still my favourite RPG of all time. Mass Effect nips closely at its heels.

I had flashbacks to Atlas from Bioshock. Except Atlas' acting was good.

Speaking of voice acting, was I the only one who was completely under whelmed by Liam Neeson as the father? The birth scene and the scene where you toddle around and look at the SPECIAL book were atrocious.

Don't hire expensive Brit actors to do bad impersonations of American accents, and instead hire a slew of low-cost voiceover actors so's you don't have repeats.
It's more bizarre when you think that they use a fake English accent and a fake Irish accent, despite having actors on the crew who have real versions of both.

Voice acting is something Bethesda has always struggled with IMO. There are so many games in recent years with good to great voice acting that there's a large stable of quality actors to draw upon. You'd think Bethesda would look at games like Mass Effect, sneak a peek at the credits to see who provided all those excellent voices, and get on the phone to try and hire some of them. Celebrities don't tend to make very good voice actors. However good they might be as an actor, they are not used to conveying everything with their voice alone. Properly trained voice actors are.
