    Such an overlooked and very charismatic actor as well as voice actor. Something about Simon Templeman's presence in something gives it an extra special kick. Really wish he had more voice work because Simon Templeman really deserves to be voicing more.

      He is THE fucking best. Unquestionably. His speech as Loghain, defending himself to the Landsmeet is probably the most epic, rousing speech I've ever heard in my life - and he was mostly a villain in the game. Just fucking phenomenal.

      Quite underrated voice actor although had a good amount of respectable roles in villainry over the years, in my own frail painted world of reality wish he had more or higher stepping stones of grandiloquency to further his agenda of success.
      While Square Enix are being ignorant and hamper great potential I've taken my own, perhaps seemingly worthless, attempt to make way of change in their distractions in order to feed this bare flimmer of franchise. I will spark an interest.

      I know what you mean, but there’s hope. The trademark is updated judging from EU trademark database, Soul Reaver on Steam can no longer be purchased along with an intriguing message. Then there’s th alleged leak from last year about a Remake of SR, being Soulsesque.
      It was claimed to be shown at Summer Game Fest this year but that didn’t happen, but Sony has yet to reveal their games. And given the BO and SR debuted on PS I wouldn’t be surprised about its return supported by Sony.
