OWI always resisted hiring professional voice artists because they wanted to use the characters for multiple games over a long period of time and that would put a massive amount of power in the actor's hands. Imagine if they got to the last game in the quintology and the actor said "I'm not coming in unless you pay me ten million dollars!". They'd be absolutely hamstrung, because the fans would associate the characters with the voices and would be upset if anything changed.

But that already happened. Lorne changed Abe's voice already in AE. It pissed me off, cos while Abe's voice in AO was sympathetic and unique... His voice in AE made me almost hate him. It so goofy and... deep.
The previous voice was a voice that really screamed: I'm a helpless worker trying to make something of this. His later voice just annoys me. Yea. It's a grudge I'll never let go of >: (
