EDIT: Saw there was a deal on HBO for a further 25% (150 versus 200). Might worthwhile with Game of Thrones as well.
for sure; that's always the case for any adaptation...just hoping that the casting directors nailed the casting choices.

I think video game fans need to reconcile the differences between 'voice actors' and physical actors. There are multiple reasons not to cast the voice actors, starting with creating name recognition with the non-gaming market.

just hope that the 'outspoken' fanbase of LoU don't start to trash the show until they actually watch it and give it a chance to succeed on its own merits.
