Just got to the bit in Oblivion where you meet Sean Bean's character. I wasn't expecting it and I didn't know who he was voicing, so when I speak to this guy and out pops Sean's heart-stoppingly gravelly voice, I actually froze up and made a sort of gurgly "hnnggghh..." noise in the back of my throat. Oh noes, that all-important first impression

Yeah. Martin. I lol'd at that too. What kind of pansy-ass name is that. It'd be far more logical to have Martin be voiced by Keane-musician. :P

Hehe XD

I don't know... they could at least have made it sound a bit more Tamriellic. I've never heard them use modern names for any characters, nor even minor NPCs that they probably got sick of naming after a while. So why on earth give one, and such a mundane-sounding one, to the main character? Boo, Bethesda.

It's good for a laugh, at least. And I am enjoying the game, so I suppose that's all that counts ^_^

"What ho, Jauffre! Shalt thou join myself and prior Marabel on a holy quest to expunge the evils in Cyrodiil? Shall we, in righteous fury, carve a swathe through evil where'er it may rear its foul visage?"

"No way man, I'm going to hit the bars and score some chicks with Martin!"

[rumms]

Ahahaha.

I've started calling him 'Marty McFly' in my head >:D

Also, Jauffre!? What the fuck were these people on in the naming committee!? it's making me use way too many exclamation and question marks in conjunction with eachother!
