Did Liam Neeson have a bad experience working on Fallout 3?
Back during development of Fallout London, I remember seeing a few news articles about how the devs had attempted to reach out to the Agents of Ron Perlman and Liam Neeson, to see if they’d be interested in doing some voice acting for the mod. Apparently, Perlman’s agent just bluntly said they wouldn’t be able to afford him. However, Neeson’s agent claimed that he had completely lost interest in the franchise, without much elaboration on why exactly.
The only thing I can think of personally, is that maybe Liam had a bad time during the production of the game, as I’ve heard before that the late Ray Liotta, who voiced Tommy Vercetti in GTA Vice City, found it a very difficult experience, as he didn’t know what he was getting himself in for, not realising how different and intricate of a model, video game voice acting is compared to acting in a live action film, to the extent that it put him off working in video games for life. I guess it could be a similar case for Neeson, as a lot of people argue that he sounds a bit wooden as James, but what do you guys think? Do you reckon he’ll ever be involved with the franchise again?
