The voice behind a ton of iconic Bethesda characters from The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion to Fallout 3 has made a return in Starfield.
As reported by PC Gamer, Wes Johnson appears in Starfield as Ron Hope, the CEO of HopeTech who sends players after a thief in the Where Hope Is Built side mission. You can read all about where to find his mission and how best to play it out in IGN's Starfield guide.
Johnson is perhaps most known in the Bethesda realm for playing every member of the Imperial Watch in Oblivion, famous for screaming at the player: "Stop right there, criminal scum."

He also played Prince of Madness Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance in Oblivion, alongside three Daedric Princes (Boethiah, Malacath, and Molag Bal) in The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, Fawkes and Maister Burke in Fallout 3, Hermaeus Mora and Emperor Titus Mede II in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Moe Cronin in Fallout 4, and many more.
Starfield is off to a hot start, technically topping sales charts even before it officially launched. When its release date finally came around on September 6, however, Xbox boss Phil Spencer revealed more than one million people were playing Starfield concurrently.
Plenty of wild and wacky stories are emerging too, such as Bethesda killing off all the poor labradors in Starfield's universe, players desperately trying to recreate the game on PlayStation, and what else but potatoes showing off the game's "mind blowing" physics.
In our 7/10 review, IGN said: "Starfield has a lot of forces working against it, but eventually the allure of its expansive roleplaying quests and respectable combat make its gravitational pull difficult to resist."
