Doc Mitchell appears in a different game made by different people, thus your argument is quite invalid. By your logic we could drag an endless list of fictional people to this debate. Also, what kind of a voice would you have for a battle hardened general? From the officers and generals I've seen in my life, one of them having been in Afghanistan, officers tend to be pretty relaxed people. The more an officer has to shout, gloat and boast the worse he really is in actual wartime leadership.

Yes, this is why people that saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" when it came out all were disappointed. They were too reminded of Star Wars when they saw Harrison Ford and heard his voice. Millions of people couldn't understand why Han Solo was running around fighting nazis. The fans' confusion was so profound, both of the movie franchises failed. To this day, Harrison Ford is confused with a smuggler that has a big walking carpet as best friend and co-pilot, by rational intelligent and reasonable people, when he walks down the street

Jarringly identical to his previous Bethesda acting role: Doc Mitchell in New Vegas. (Which broke immersion, forcibly reminding us to think of that character from another video game).

Not to mention his voice didn't really suit the role anyway. His frail, trusting, somewhat-goofy grandfather voice ... didn't actually believably convey the likes of a hardened war general struggling with a passionless goal and buried internal disillusionment.

I would go so far as to deem his performance verging on mechanical.

Anyway, this is pretty much a nitpicking issue. Most of the voice acting and casting in Skyrim is brilliant. And the music is of course f@#king awesome. But this one casting was definitely a fail.

Tullius? Yeah, I like the voice. Farengar is also fine by me.

But I'll never forget the "Do come back..." from Belethor. Never ever.

Also, what I take from this is: "For my personal enjoyment, a voice actor CAN NOT AND WILL NOT VOICE MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER IN A CERTAIN FRANCHISE. That is all."

I've played Fallout NV for over 300 hours and Skyrim for just about 165 hours and only now I know that Tulios and Doc Mitchel have the same VA.

I believe wood elves in Skyrim got the same VA that did all elven males in Oblivon and many characters in Fallout 3 (Harkness, Sticky, Butch and others).

I don't bother with that. Once I got over the fact that Magneto and Gandalf are one and the same, nothing of that kind troubles me anymore.

Indiana Jones and Han Solo are boringly similar characters, both stemming from hilariously bad franchises.

He's Colonel TIgh, dammit! COLONEL TIGH!

Just because I see someone from StarTrek doing a Shakespearean play doesn`t ruin the Shakespearean play. that`s just me associating the face with another character.

Tullius? Yeah, I like the voice. Farengar is also fine by me.

But I'll never forget the "Do come back..." from Belethor. Never ever.

It's not the same thing. Actors can't change their appearance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuaD6cC5RpA.

Yeah, was hesitant to use that clip.

But if the characters are major and the titles are major I don't think it's so ridiculous to have them change it up. Games are limited in their ability to sell characters, voice is almost the entirety of it.

Doc Mitcelle wasnt a major character, really.

I beg to differ. He was probably the most important character in the entire game. Without him you'd be in a crudely dug grave with a bullet in your head = no game.

He's Colonel TIgh, dammit!
