    Oh boy, I like a lot of the voices. My favorites would have to be: Frea, Karliah, Sheogorath, Belethor (If I had a sister, i'd sell her too!), and Nazir.

    Sheogorath, Balgruuf, Brynolf, Paarthurnax, and Male Argonians.

    And definitely not female Argonians. *shudder*

    M'aiq the liar. I know all khajit probably have the same voice actor, but his unique and interesting dialogs somehow makes me wanna keep listening to him for hours, just away from all the chaos and dragons and stuff.

    Only one person has picked Astrid? Disappointing.

    Ralis Sedarys and Nazir.

    Delvin, Ulfric, all male khajiit!, Nazir,  Galmar, and  Alduin, and Knight paladin Gelebor.

    Brynjolf, Cicero, and High King Ulfric Stormcloak have the best voices in the game

    My favorites would have to be Sheogorath, Brynjolf, and Tolfdir.

    For some reason, I just think Ulfric's voice is very lackluster, even though other people seem to like it.

    Yeah, I don't really understand what they were going for. The male Argonians have a great voice that's leathery and reptilian without being overbearing...and the females get a 12-pack-a-day rasp that makes it sound like they all gargle acid and razor blades.

    Brynjolf - I could listen to him say the phrase "larceny's in yer blood" over and over again.

    Esbern - Love those wise old man voices. It helps that he speaks a lot of truth, too.

    Ulfric - Very deep and kingly. Makes me want to side with the Stormcloaks just to hear him speechify.

    Gormlaith - It's not so much just her voice as the hilariously overwrought and poetic way she says everything. Picture her ordering lunch - it's hilarious!

    I like Serana's voice a lot (because, c'mon, it's Laura Bailey), but I'm not sure how much she fits into Skyrim's milieu. She's too...normal.

    Ulfric, Karliah, Brynjolf... and of course, Paarthurnax.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one!  This topic has been nothing but praise for Ulfric's voice.  I just can't stand it.  He sounds like a musclebound idiot.

    "they have an Elder Scroll"...
    Has to be Dexion.

    Different people, different tastes. :P

    Sheogorath! Is this even a competition? No, it's fucking Wes Johnson!

    Best. Description. Ever.

    In terms of "good" voices, there are loads of voices who fit the characters very well, chiefly is Ulfric (musclebound idiot indeed), Cicero (absolutely fucking mental screech), Paarthanax (wise world-worn sage), but I don't like any of these characters.

    Neloth is probably my favourite, only because of his weird pitch changes. "hmMMMM?" "I could dig up a stAAAF or TWOOO for YOOOU." Love it.

    My all time favorite is Hakon One-Eye. It's just...so manly. I could just stay in Sovngarde and listen to him for dayyys. A few honorable mentions are Karliah, Isran ("SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK"), the entire male condescending voice (AKA Belethor and Lucan Valerius) and Galmar Stone-Fist.

    I don't really agree that Ulfric sounds dumb in any way. His voice is deep and slow, but in my opinion it gives him gravitas and a sense he's thinking things through. He doesn't speak lightly, unlike a lot of people who truly are idiots.
