Fallout 4: 10 Outrageous Rumours That Won't Happen
10. Ron Perlman's Absence
Online rumours abound that Ron Perlman and his forlorn, gravelly tones will not be returning for Fallout 4. From Interplay Entertainments original Fallout to the glitz-and-glamour of New Vegas, Ron was the voice actor responsible for the renowned opening monologues which so fittingly set the tone for the rest of the game. The rumours are based entirely around the casting documents which suggested that Fallout 4s monologue would be voiced by the new protagonist. Adding an enormous amount of weight to this speculation was the Sons of Anarchy star actually stating in a Reddit Ask Me Anything that he didnt have any video games on the horizon". Though the combined weight of these two pieces of evidence may lead you to believe that the rumours are accurate, the likelihood is that they are not. Fans of the series should definitely expect to hear that instantly recognisable voice at the start of Fallout 4 when Bethesda do finally get around to finishing and releasing the game. Far too much weight has been given by the Fallout rumour mills to these casting documents they are in no way binding and basing any kind of judgement on them is an error-filled enterprise. Further, the game is in still in a relatively early part of its development as far as we know, so Perlman saying he isnt currently involved in any games doesn't necessarily mean he wont be employed by Bethesda - once again - to narrate the intro closer to Fallout 4s release. A Fallout game without Perlman's monologue is like having a Gears of War without the Lancer, FIFA without Messi or God of War without a drop of blood.
