    Oblivion Khajiit always remind me of Antonio Banderas, and while I didn’t explore the world as thoroughly in Oblivion as I did in Morrowind and Skyrim, I may have encountered Vasha when playing.

    Also btw “Vash” is a sort of pirate archaeologist from TNG. Unrelated morr and than Zorro, I’m sure, but still.

    has done parts to fill in for Antonio Banderas before

    Like… a voice-double? Elaborate pls, I’m interested.

      He’s one of the three captives you can choose to kill at the start of the Dark Brotherhood questline

      Elaborate pls,

      The voice actor is André Sogliuzzo, who voiced Banderas’ Puss in Boots from Shrek in various appearances outside of the main films and also voiced the actual character of Antonio Banderas in an episode of Celebrity Deathmatch

        Ah, yes, so I got it more or less right, a “voice-double”. Thank you for confirming.

        Yeah but man it’s been 20 years, and whilst Morrowind I played pretty religiously and then later Skyrim again, during Oblivion’s release and heydey, I was a fuckboi, so I didn’t pay as much attention. Also more than a decade of weed on me and just now an ambien.

        Maybe it’s there, but I’m in not willing to say whether I’m imagining or remembering. The wiki states he’s wearing a mask as well though? Reference? Tbf it’s an executioner’s mask. Do they all wear them though? Also he’s the only one who doesn’t yell when the others die, perhaps implying a sort of rogues attitude of vigilante justice served?

        Idk man. Just writing things on Lemmy while waiting for the ambien to kick in to be able to go to bed. I’m not debating anything, just making conversation.

          Oh, I didn’t mean to come across as argumentative, I just offered a description in case it jogged a memory. It’s entirely possible you never did meet him. Though if it helps at all, he’s wearing an execution hood rather than an executioner’s hood — as in, he’s the one getting executed. You are correct that all three are wearing them and Vasha doesn’t give much of a shit about the whole situation, all things considered

            You didn’t — at all.

            I was just clarifying I hope was neither.

            Oh yes I read that. I’m just unaware whether I did the quest. Can’t recall. Did the other prisoners have holds? Because if not, and he’s the only masked guy, and a womaniser, I’d say he might as well be Zorro.

              Ahh okay, no worries!

              Both of the other two are wearing identical hoods, yes. The other person in the room is Astrid, the Dark Brotherhood assassin telling you to kill one of them. Vasha is definitely by far the Zorro-iest one present though
