BioWare has announced the voice talent it has signed for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, including the voice talent who provided the various voice options for Rook, the game’s customizable player character. As reported by Eurogamerone of the voice actors has gained a particularly carnal reputation in his recent past.
For Rook, BioWare wanted to offer potential voices in both American and British dialects, as some people have a hard time imagining their fantasy heroes without accent support. Voice actors Erika Ishii and Jeff Berg are your American Rooks, while Bryony Corrigan and Alex Jordan are your Rooks from across the pond.
Like his fellow Rook cohort, Alex Jordan has a long list of voice acting credits in video games. You may know him from Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, where he recently voiced Mr. Hands. If not, then you may have heard his other recent work in Baldur’s Gate 3, where Larian hired him to make sex noises.
As Jordan tells it, Larian contacted him “just before release,” when most of the voice recordings were already done, but the studio had not yet provided an audio soundscape to really bring out the now well-established awesomeness of BG3. “And so I went into the studio,” Jordan said in a TikTok from August 2023 tells the story. “And it was very embarrassing because I made noises like ‘mmm’ and ‘ahh’. And then I kissed my hand a lot.”
I’m sorry to say that despite the wide range of romantic hyper-fixations Dragon Age has offered over the years, we probably shouldn’t take Jordan’s casting as an indicator of Veilguard’s level of raunchiness. However, BioWare recently confounded our own expectations of raunchiness when the studio said it wanted fans discover for yourself whether the game contains visible genitals, which forces us to consider whether penises themselves are a spoilsport.
