We already knew that Starfield’s protagonist was once in line to be voiced rather than silent - but it turns out that the voice actors who ended up providing Sam Coe and Andreja’s dulcet tones actually recorded lines for the role.
This is according to a Twitter post from one of the pair, Elias Toufexis, which saw the voice of Deus Ex’s Adam Jensen reveal that he and fellow VA Cissy Jones “worked for months” on lending their voices to male and female versions of the game’s player character. Then, Bethesda decided not to repeat what it did for Fallout 4, instead opting for a mute blank canvas.
Thankfully, the studio didn’t simply leave both actors hanging after electing not to have them deliver the dialogue of the Settled Systems’ most famous former miner, instead offering them the chance to portray two key members of Constellation. Yup, this is how space cowboy Sam Coe and lone wanderer Andreja were cast.
