   @Remi @nugger @MasterSimper It's crazy how Bethesda can just waste money like that and get away with it for over twenty years

     @nugger @MasterSimper Oh you didn't know?
     They wrote a *90 page light novel* about Uriel Septim and his life, exclusively for Patrick Stewart to read, so he could get in to a character that dies 5 minutes into the game.
     
     The other voice actors were given a list of lines, in alphabetical order, that they had to voice without context. No character names, races, titles, jobs, anything. How many hours do you think each actor spent recording "Hello... x y z" in slightly different ways?
     
     As for pay, Gamespot had this little trivia from 2008, two years after Oblivion came out. Patrick likely got roughly half a million for the role.
     
     >So how much are these actors being paid to lend their real-world pipes to virtual heroes? According to Screen Actors Guild rules, voice actors can expect to be compensated $760 for one four-hour recording session, reports the Reuters news service. For celebrity voice talent, though, that number can spike exponentially. Speaking to Reuters, Blindlight production company general manager Lev Chapelsky said that some stars have demanded $750,000 for an hour's worth of work, and one voice actor actually received $500,000 for a single session. Chapelsky told Reuters that top talent commonly receives "in the high five figures for a single session."

     I modded Oblivion so I had a key blade and could stop time in a 10ft radius, for some reason Master Chief wanted to take out all of the capital
