No Nolan North. Try not to cry.

Today, Bethesda pulled the lid off the tremendous voice cast they've assembled for their upcoming title, Dishonored. Far from the usual video game trend of hiring Nolan North/Jennifer Hale and calling it a day, Bethesda has chosen to shell out for some fairly major Hollywood talent.

The most recognizable name is undoubtedly Carrie Fisher who will be heard broadcasting propaganda over the loudspeakers. Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon will also be joining the cast along with Lena Heady (better known as Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs), and John Slattery of Mad Men.

Rounding out the cast will be Brad Dourif who played Grima Wormtongue in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, as well as Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass).
