Skyrim: 10 Glaring Problems Everyone Always Overlooks

6. The Same Voice Actors

Skyrim isn't a game that you play for a short period of time. It's a ginormous time sink that will claim many days of your life as you venture across the land of the Nords. And one of the major drawbacks of this, is the cracks begin to show over time. Soon you start to recognise a lot of reused assets and more jarringly, voice actors.

There is a small pool of voice actors that voice the majority of the NPCs in Skyrim, and whilst main characters like Ulfric and the Greybeards have their own designated voices, the radiant NPCs all have the same monotone accents. In extreme cases, you can be talking to four different characters in a row, each with identical voices.

It would be time-consuming and pointless to get every single NPC their very own actor, but the way they are distributed is wholly uneven, with the same voice appearing side by side more often than not. Combine that with the fact that the City Guards are interchangeable, and a lot of the 'immersive' world design loses some all important character.
