Out of the deep crypt that is Bethesda Softworks came a small piece
of news about their upcoming game-in-development, Fallout 3.

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. Throughout his illustrious career, Neeson has
been the recipient of numerous honors for his work in film and
theater, including Academy Award, Golden Globe and Tony Award
nominations.

"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."

If they could get Patrick Stewart to voice the Emperor in Oblivion,
Neeson could only be the beginning :p
