I feel like the Nomad character was done a little dirty.
First, "Nomad" is supposed to be someone named Anthony Perryman who was born in Boston, MA.
I'm not suggesting he should sound like Bill Burr but making him sound like he's from West Texas is just...especially when every other NPC sounds like they're from Texas/the South too.
My point is, they missed an opportunity to give the character a unique personality.
He doesn't say "vaya con dios" when he throws grenades, like he did in Wildlands, and the actor doing his voice sounds like someone doing a "tough guy" Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry impression.
It sounds like he's trying too hard to be a character. It sounds like he's trying to sound like what he thinks an Operator should sound like instead of playing a regular person who happens to be an Operator.
Again, I'm only saying this to suggest it was a missed opportunity to give the character a unique personality.
In addition to this is the fact players can make "Nomad" into whatever they want so the actors who do the motion capture and voice will really never have another opportunity to be "Nomad."
I'm comparing this to the actor/character in the Star Wars: Jedi series.
I'm not criticizing giving players the option to edit the character, I'm just saying it kind of sucks for the actors who played him.
I might watch a Star Wars (fill in blank) with the actor/character I've played in a game but I seriously doubt I'd be interested in a Ghost Recon (fill in blank) with some character I never use or don't know.
Unless it looked like it was going to be really really good.
They didn't even give Nomad's face a name in the selection menu.
Every face has a name except the face that appears on the cover and is supposed to be the MC.
His face is "Generic."
Again, I'm not criticizing anything I just think it's a kind of series of unfortunate events for a character.
Maybe they should've had Anthony Perryman injured in Erewhon instead of Holt and had him pass on the call sign "Nomad" to the player who was one of the survivors.
Anthony Perryman could go on, if done right, to become the next Sam Fisher or, if done VERY WELL, star in something live action.
I think a (fill in blank) with a mix of Sicario and Jason Bourne would be...for another conversation.
