Fallout 76 might have evolved from a single-player to MMORPG, but you’ll still find it’s a fair story-driven game. As a result, there’s still a hefty voice actor and voice cast in Fallout 76. The big difference is that quests and the general flow of the game’s narrative comes by way of audio tapes.
Notably, Todd Howard confirmed the game has more lines of dialogue than Fallout 4, which may come as a bit of a surprise. So let’s dive into the actors behind the various voices that bring Fallout 76’s story to life.
Adrienne Jo Barbeau – Overseer
Adrienne Jo Barbeau is an American actress and author best known for her roles on the TV series Maude (1972) and in horror films, especially those directed by John Carpenter, with whom she was once married. You might remember her from the cult film Escape from New York, that served as a big inspiration for Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid series. Barbeau has also voiced characters in video game series such as God of War, Hitman, and Mad Max.
