The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the sort of game that requires top-tier voice talent to work, so Bethesda Softworks has pulled out all the stops, recruiting a cast comprised of three Academy Award nominees, several highly recognizable science fiction actors, and the wife of ZeniMax Media CEO Robert A.

While we might not know too much about D3Publisher's upcoming video game farce Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, today's voice talent announcement is nearly enough to warrant must-buy status.

Giving voice to the villain? None other than How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris, who has also appeared in the Harold and Kumar films as well as some old medical drama television show I promised I wouldn't mention.

William Morgan Sheppard, the voice of John Adams, played Captain Witwicky in the Transformers movie and was the voice of Limburger in Biker Mice from Mars! More »
