Kind of interesting that the 2 main characters from the 2 biggest games of the year are voiced by the same guy. Of course my conspiracy mind is going crazy right now "this guy has industry contacts! Is stealing all the good roles!"

Nah, no conspiracy. Just a really talented and standout dude who earned the roles for his ability to act in a way that is emotionally compelling. That's my belief about Mr. Baker. It's not surprising, in fact. Generally c speaking, voice acting in video games has been pretty campy up until now, but I believe that's beginning to change and will only get more and more depth as the industry continues to develop. It's exciting to watch.

Good voice acting makes a HUGE difference in immersion.

I chose to play the female Commander Shepard in the ME series specifically because Jennifer Hale was the voice actress.
