Patrick Stewart didn€™t appear for long in Oblivion, but what an awesome way to introduce the game. Look guys, look at this lovely game - oh and what€™s this here? It€™s only bloody Captain Picard! This is a great bit of casting because with his deep, old-era Shakespearian voice, he really brings a touch of genuine authority and presence to the game from the get-go. This is a relatively minor role for such a huge actor which only served to portray the game's grand designs.
