Yeah I liked him but his voice doesn't sound nearly old enough for his age, not as bad as in the last Splinter Cell, but it was kinda of jarring when I finally realized just how old he is supposed to be.

You must have singlehandedly killed like 200 people by the end of the game. You're a one man army.

Yeah, but he sounds like he's in his early twenties.

Booker Dewitt was 34 years old when he arrived in Columbia.

Troy Baker - the actor who is the voice of Booker Dewitt - is 38 years old.

I'm sure he would be flattered by your assessment of his youthful voice.
According to the wiki he was 38 when he arrived.

He's alright, but he could be better, it's like the developers were trying a bit too hard to make him a badass.

Meh, Jack from the first Bioshock was more badass. A cold, silent killer, that (should the player decide) harvest ADAM from little girls, which kills them, and not even show one bit of pity oor remorse.

Hardly. He was barely a character at all.

He is what you make him. *shrug* I prefer that method of storytelling over watching a movie unfold through a character's eyes and having to listen to his grunts and random commentary.

What you make him? Pretty hard to make him anything when he was one line of dialogue and just shoots ♥♥♥♥ for the rest of the game. Don't get me wrong, I like Bioshock and it's story, but Jack has nothing on Booker.

Usually, I prefer the original instead of the (in my case) german dubbing. BSI gave me a hard time, though. You could say the english voices are brilliant. But in my humble opinion, the german voices are BLOODY brilliant. I believe I've been switching between english and german back and forth for about 3 hours...
I have no idea who the german voice actors are (and if there's someone famous among them), but they nailed the job.
In a way, I share Aezarian's opinion. Booker sounds somewhat younger than he is. Torben Liebrecht, the german voice for Booker who I just looked up, was 35 when recording BSI. He's got a quite sonorous voice that - for my taste - just gives Booker an additional edge of badassness.

Nevertheless, Booker is a frickin' badass, no matter what jibberish he speaks.

Well with only one line of dialogue, that is exactly why he is whatever you want him to be. He doesn't impose himself on the player. You determine who Jack is via your choices. You are in the driver's seat, not Jack. Not a very good comparison though as there really are not very many choices to make in Bioshock.

No, Jack does not have anything on Booker but at the same time Booker is an intrusive element into your game. Booker dictates what you, the player, do. He steers you around - you're choices are limited to what gun Booker happens to be using at any given moment. You happen to like him, ergo, for you, he is not intrusive. I am indifferent to him but very much dislike having him hold my hand and drag me through his story.

As I already said, I much prefer a story about a world as opposed to being stuffed into a single character's shoes in that world. It is a narrowing of scope that I disagree with. I prefer to write my own story rather than have one dictated to me.
