Liam Neeson to star in Fallout 3

PALGN News | Role "written with Liam in mind".

Jedi Knight and kindly wartime munitions factory owner Liam Neeson will be voicing one of the lead roles in Bethesda Softwork's forthcoming Fallout 3, reports The Hollywood Reporter. Neeson, who has made acclaimed performances in the likes of Schindler's List and Gangs of New York, will be playing the role of the player's father in the title.

"It's been a pleasure bringing the father to life and working with the wonderfully talented people at Bethesda on Fallout 3," said Neeson, while on his way to the bank. "I hope the fans of the franchise and the game will be excited by the results." Fallout 3 executive producer Todd Howard is certainly chuffed by the casting, revealing that, "This role was written with Liam in mind, and provides the dramatic tone for the entire game."

The Neeson nugget aside, we're still largely in the dark about Fallout 3, which is being made by the same team that put together last year's sublime Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

The Fallout fanboy in me is balking at the idea that they might be hammering in an overly dramatic plot that players will be forced along, and perhaps ruining the largely freeform nature of the past Fallout games.

*wrings hands*

Damnit, just tell us about it already! All this waiting, and the 'ifs' 'buts' and 'maybes', are killing me!

I was just thinking today that Liam Neeson is the greatest person ever to live, and thus, will make fallout 3 the greatest game ever to be released. It is not possible for Liam Neeson to do a voice in this game, and the game get less than a perfect score by every single website and magazine in the world.

Liam Neeson is a god among men. Fallout 3 will be the best game anyone has ever played. In fact, the box for Fallout should read "Liam Neeson's: fallout 3" with fallout 3 in small writing and a massive picture of Liam Neeson on both front and back covers. There should be a law that after this game is released, the video games industry must shut down, because there is no point making any other games.

Liam Neeson.

/\ /\ I WISH I was Liam Neeson. I would do anything to be as cool as him. Even his name is cool. It just rolls off the tongue... Liam Neeson.... Liam Neeeeeeeson......... He is a real gentleman, and would be the best person to have as a friend. And if you are ever in a fight, Liam Neeson would have your back. He is the greatest.

Its true Karai.

If Liam Neeson grew a beard, it could beat up Chuck Norris' beard in mere seconds.

Then why did he lose to a poxy punk like Darth Maul, and a whiny emo kid like Batman?

First of all, Liam Neeson is a badass.

Second of all, insulting Batman is a bannable offence. I'm not even kidding.

a)So he can fully commit himself to the force and
b) so there will be another Batman sequel...

Drinniol, don't ever call batman emo. I don't know how someone could say such horrible things. Batman is god.... admittedly a lesser god to Liam Neeson, but a god none the less. And crestfallen is right. Liam Neeson is so great, that he is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others. He is like jesus, except he doesn't have a beard, smoke opium and run a illegal gambling ring staffed by illegal migrant children under the pseudonym of Chester L. Matherson in a run down Manchester apartment complex that was abandoned in 1983 when Thatcher's economic reforms in England cause widespread unemployment in the region causing many to lose their homes.

Don't mess with Liam Neeson or Batman.

Greatest. Run on. Sentence. Ever.

As for Fallout and Neeson, I do think that Liam Neeson is exceptionally good but at this point in time I don't care if they announce a chimp is playing the role of Marcus so long as they freaking release the game at some point in my lifetime.
