Bill Clinton was approached to voice Fallout 3's president

I think they got a better deal with Malcolm McDowell. Pity he didn't do the classic WC4 line "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance". One person who I wish would do VO again would be Christopher Walken, his performance in Priv2 was great.
 
I wish they had more diversity for some of the secondary characters...

...it's so painfully obvious that Moria and Red in big town were voiced by the same women.

Then again I think there are five or six male voices in the entire game...oh and lets not start on all Super Mutants sounding the same...

The Super Mutants in F1 & F2 had unique voices...well the ones that talked that is.

Altra
 
Altra and how many characters talk in FO3? Both games are way different. FO1-2 Tactics had voices only for important or for few random NPCs. Most was conveyed by text or floating text.
 
I rather find Malcolm McDowell wasted on this.

I really like his voice so I would have liked him to voice a deep and well developed main antagonist or other important character.

He does, actually. I've only heard it twice though since the Enclave radio loops his discussion about baseball more often, but every once in a while he'd have words of wisdom to say, and the WC4 quote was one of them.

There are people who voice act for a living and many of them can do a large number of voices so that's a really shitty excuse. Hell, you could probably hire Jim Cummings to do every voice in your game and he'd never do the same voice twice. The issue isn't the number of characters to voice act, the issue is Beth spending the bulk of their voice acting budget on celebrities instead of on professional voice actors. Interplay, like many other companies, was smart and limited the number of characters they voice acted for time, cost, and space reasons.
 
Back in my days voice actors were people who were good at... surprisingly, voice acting.
Now it seems the more popular someone is, the better voice actor he makes.
