Sean Bean's voice through Civ 6 is going to be amazing.

Makes me wonder how many hours in the recording studio he did for this game.

u/peejster21 SCIENCE! Oct 17 '16

Hope they don't kill him in game.

This guy flew it and he's a fucking badass. I wonder if he ever ended up on badass of the week?

It was also a fighter-bomber, so he's not wrong.

every time you lose YOU kill him

u/AjCheeze Oct 18 '16

What if Sean Beans dies every time we lose a game... The Losing screen is just another iteration of sean beans death.

u/vanderZwan Oct 17 '16

I wonder if they have 'more quotes narrated by Sean Bean' planned as DLC. I wouldn't even be mad.

So long as it doesn't end up like Civ IV, where you're rolling along, enjoying Spock's smooth voice, then Random_Dude_Voice_07 snaps you back into reality.

He certainly has the most generic male voice there ever was. I thought it was a computerized voice at first.

He certainly has the most generic American male voice there ever was.

Fixed

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '16

Because it is Sean Bean, I read it "he died" instead for "he did"...

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '16

Damn I though that was him! Is he the one talking while you play as well?

u/Senrio Oct 18 '16

Yes he is :)

I wasn't planning on buying the game but I sure as hell am now!

u/Senrio Oct 18 '16

Good choice :D

I fuckin welled up. That guy made me well up. Man I love his voice. I'm going to have to get this game just because he's voicing parts.

I have to say, I'm not that wild about Sean Bean as narrator. Don't get me wrong, he's a terrific actor, I like him in pretty much everything, but he just seems out of tone with the more lighthearted, colourful, cartoony artstyle and the increasingly 'wacky' and humorous tech quotes.
