More On: Fallout 3
Bethesda announced today that Liam Neeson will be contributing his voice talents to Fallout 3 and will play the father/mentor role to the player in the game (so pretty much the same thing he's done in his last ten movies or so). 

Bethesda also included a new piece of concept art which looks pretty snazzy .  The teaser site has a countdown which expires in 28 days so feel free to speculate what we'll see then (I'm hoping for a full teaser of the game in action).

May 8, 2007 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks® is pleased to announce that highly acclaimed international actor Liam Neeson will lead the cast providing voice work in Fallout 3. Neeson will play the role of the player’s father and will appear prominently throughout the game. Fallout 3 is currently under development at Bethesda Game Studios, creators of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion®, which won numerous Game of the Year and RPG of the Year awards in 2006.

 

“This role was written with Liam in mind, and provides the dramatic tone for the entire game,” said Todd Howard, Executive Producer of Fallout 3. “Liam is absolutely amazing to work with.”

 

Neeson is known for starring roles in blockbuster films such as Schindler’s List, Star Wars: Episode I, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Batman Begins.

“It’s been a pleasure bringing the father to life and working with the wonderfully talented people at Bethesda on Fallout 3,” said Neeson. “I hope the fans of the franchise and the game will be excited by the results.”
