More like "Acting That Deserves Some Award For Making The Game 10X More Entertaining"!

M15aNtHrOpE: All of these are really, really, really bad. But theres one game that no one mentioned yet:
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I MEAN SRSLY. I loved the game, of course, but come on. I would even venture to say that the voice acting in SOTN is worse than Resident Evil.

Ha! Actually, I think you may have a point, it was pretty bad!

Eh, I dunno. Some of those lines were delivered like the person who said them was half-asleep. That doesn't improve my gaming experience any..

rob.liefeld: Gabriel Knight: sins of the fathers CD version is missing here.
Now THAT is messed up:)

No way! The voice acting in GK1 was very good: Michael Dorn (Dr John), Mark Hamill (Detective Mosely), Tim Curry (Gabriel Knight), and some other chick from TV played Grace.
Beyond that, I enjoyed all of the other characters, as well as the narrator. It was an exceptional game overall, IMHO.

None of the voices fit, and they weren't even trying. It was REALLY bad.

Exactly, I was thinking about Tim Curry:)
He did Gabriels voice in an overwhelmingly slimey manner, thus turning him into the rudest protagonist ever. I doubt, a multi-millionaire sexbomb (Malia Gedde) would fall for such a person :)
Also, when Hammil and Curry try to out-smirk each others voice is just too funny:)
But the heavy part is the narration. The already had these two very deep, familiar, manly voices, so to evade confusion, they went for something else...
An old women, with god knows what kind of weird accent:D

I think she was Jamaican, which I think fit the story quite well.

And no wonder I stopped playing NWN soon after the introduction.

That list misses one of my favorites.
When you enter that gigantic clock room first time, out of nowhere, "What... do you here?"
Really, what does that even mean? Plus actor sounds really lazy.
Oh, and I just want to say that Bioware almost made me rip my hair! Dragon Age: Origins, human mage start, that damned bear thing at the very beginning! It just made me want to kill it!

Resident Evil could probably win all 50 worst moments...
