Wheatly's voice

No wonder the voice was freaking me out so much, it's Stephen Merchant. Co-writer of UK office, and Extras with Ricky Gervais, and on the Ricky Gervais show

I've absolutely loved listening to him so far. It was a brilliant addition. I can't wait to do the co-op now, apparently the personality of the two robots in that is also very agreeable - but they are going to have to do a fair bit of work to top Wheatley.

The family was watching The Tooth Fairy right after I finished the game. I was watching, then heard Wheatley's voice, and I thought, "WTF?". Turns out Stephen Merchant co-starred against The Rock in that movie! Talk about co-incidence.

I'm a huge fan of Merchant's work and was thoroughly chuffed to hear him when I started playing. I wonder if they let him add to the writing for his character at all cause it was a very solid performance.

Yeah they let him improvise the script which was awesome of them.
