William the Drake Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) A old clanmate and friend of mine posed a rather interesting and amusing question the other evening on TS: "Ok, so who would you pick to be the narrator for the English nation (for missions, tutorials, etc.?), Brian Blessed(narrated War of the Roses, among other things), or Sir Patrick Stewart?" Oh was I split. But I came up with a compromise: Why not both! Sir Patrick Stewart would definitely embody the Royal Navy, no question, but I feel that Brian Blessed would sound very good as the Pirate narrator! (If I had to pick one for just England it would probably Blessed, but when choosing one for pirate and one for England, Stewart definitely has a more authoritarian air about his sound.) So who would you pick as the voice of each respective nation? Here are my votes so far: England: Sir Patrick Stewart Pirate: Brian Blessed -more serious. David Wenham (300/Deadliest Warrior) -less serious/smuggler. U.S.A.: Gary Sinise (would have loved Edward Herrmann for this but, alas, he is no longer with us.) French: Tcheky Karyo Edited April 11, 2016 by William the Drake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvenski Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Who would you recommend for the French, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Who would you recommend for the French, though? Jean Reno for serious business. Or Le Gerard Depardieu for the goofy business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William the Drake Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Who would you recommend for the French, though? Tcheky Karyo (French officer from The Patriot) is the first to come to mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 While sir patrick stewart would be good for the english, i think personally i would prefer Stephen Fry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvenski Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Willem Dafoe might make a good narrator for the US, if he isn't too American-sounding for the role. EDIT: Like you say, OP, Gary Sinise would be pretty decent, too. Edited April 11, 2016 by Arvenski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBoiteux Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Who would you recommend for the French, though? Jacques Frantz, Robert de Niro's French voice in his dubbed movies : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William the Drake Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 While sir patrick stewart would be good for the english, i think personally i would prefer Stephen Fry If we're speaking strictly of a "Royal Navy" voice, I think Stewart is more suited (although I wouldn't much object to Stephen Fry either) Now, if there was a separate voice for English companies/traders, Fry would definitely fit the bill there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Hornblower Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm thinking Derek Jacobi, he of Gladiator where he played a senator, Gracchus, assuming he's still around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel of Illiria Province Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 i throughly agree on this pick: England: Sir Patrick Stewart Pirate: Brian Blessed -more serious. David Wenham (300/Deadliest Warrior) -less serious/smuggler.U.S.A.: Gary Sinise (would have loved Edward Herrmann for this but, alas, he is no longer with us.)French: Tcheky Karyo These are my own sugestions to narrator voices for other factions:Spanish: Conrad Pla (voice of: Laureano José de Torres Ayala a Duadros Castallanos, marqués de Casa Torres in AC4:Black Flag) or: Gabriel Iglessias (staring as a panicky officer??)Holland/Verenigde Provinciene: Derek de LintSverige: Sean Connorey, with his accent from Arthur and knights of the round table.Denmark Norge: JB Blancthats my part of language knowing and packing in sensible voice actors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William the Drake Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Spanish: [...]or: Gabriel Iglessias (staring as a panicky officer??) Don't just write him off as comedy relief. The man is hilarious as a comedian, but he also has a very impressive control of his voice, and I would not be surprised in the slightest if he could provide a more serious toned sound. Also, I was looking at some Let's Plays for Blood and Gold: Caribbean (a Caribbean version of Mount & Blade) and came across ReformistTM and I rather enjoyed his voice. I think he would be suitable for the English. Furthermore, Gideon Emery (Assassin's Creed 3) sounds like he could do America quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Sir i know. Exactly why i would put him in. Apart from that it would make the man even more badass as he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
