Date July 24, 2021 FO76WA BigBadWolf VA Confirmation
Dev user name Carl (Quest Design - BGS)
Source Bethesda Game Studio Official Discord, #fallout-76-chat
Prompt I don't know if anyone else is into pinning down the voice actors, but has anyone else every suspected that Big Bad Wolf and Officer Sydney both had the same voice actor? It sounds the same to me, but I can't find it in the credits anywhere.
Answer I can answer this one since he's already credited to the game: Yes, Officer Sidney and Wolf are both voiced by Bumper Robinson

Yes

  1. Yes Agreed with the proposal in the discussion forum, so I will also agree with it here. The Appalachian Mandalorian insignia 08:49, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
  2. Yes Easy pass, having all dev commentary on one page will be beneficial. We also would not have to worry about imgur links for the screenshot, and that they may expire one day. –FindabairMini-JSPnP LogoThe benefit of the doubt is often doubtful. 09:54, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Comments

Not sure if this needs discussed now or later, but I can see the need already to have pages dedicated to specific developers and even on a per-game basis. Like a 'Carl McKevitt Fallout 76 Commentary' page, given how often he answers questions in Bethcord. This could be also applied retroactively for Avellone and Sawyer and the respective games.Gilpo1 (talk) 17:37, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

That is a really good idea. We could easily make them subpages, which would make it so easy to search! -kdarrow Pickman heart take her for a spin! 18:04, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Vote passes, will move to implement within reference policy. -kdarrow Pickman heart take her for a spin! 18:03, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
