    Personally I liked Nick Greaves...he had the whole German villain look going (yes, I know he's more British or South African).

    I dont think the voice acting was done right on him. He doesnt sound like a huge burly guy, just a regular man with an accent.

    Yeah I have Marty in my game he's kind of irritating to be honest, Josip is cool. I chose to play as Singh.

    Warren Clyde annoys me because he sounds like Gary Busey, but maybe that's just me.

    JOSIIIIIIIP!

    Seriously, if Josip dies in my game, I don't care how many hours of progress I lose, Josip will be re-loaded. Unless he dies as part of the story. Which will suck.

    I'm about 60% done with the game and I'm playing as Marty. Is the game really that different a 2nd time around if I were to play as another character? Do the faction quests play out different or is it just the same thing with the different mercs swapped in and out?

    I had the same problem with choosing Josip as mine. I should have chosen someone boring.

    The character you chose determines your starting location and your initial equipment. It also has an effect on the initial tutorial missions you get. I found this out when I took this to a friends today and he started a new game. At home I chose Singh, started in Lumber with a G3 and a rocket launcher. My friend chose the Irish guy and started in the Slaughterhouse with a G3 and a Flamethrower.

    The Flamethrower is awesome!

    I chose Hakim and also started at the slaughterhouse with the same weapons.  I bet there are just a few different starting points.

    Nasreen for me; don't know how many times she's pulled me out of the shit, but a lot. Always ends up as my best buddy in act 2, I always get the first one killed somehow  :( 

    EDIT: Sure enough, Hakim just died and now Nasreen's my number 1 yet again.
