    I feel like this should only be possible for a year or two after the passing of an actor, to extend, or even complete, their work in a piece they already participated in while alive.

    After that, even if the same role is brought back in a new story, it should go to a living actor.

      Not something I would have ever thought of, but this is actually a pretty solid idea.

      Especially un a time where AI is a pretty big issue for the entertainment industry.

      Like, a lot of my favorite actors are old as shit. To finish unfinished work and put a close to a character would be an excellent use of the technology. End of life purposes with respectful boundaries

      If AI can do this, why would you need a real person to begin with?

        For marketing? He was a “popular Polish voice actor” apparently.

          I was about to say I doubt that they could market the game based on one voice actor, but then I remembered who plays Johnny Silverhand in English
