Well, if you read the article, the entire issue is that this is an expansion of the game which will be intermixed with 1000s of lines of dialogue of the actor’s old voice. Hiring a new person does not solve the problem of having the old voice lines mixed with new voice lines. Further, they are also planning to make an entire new game after this expansion, and the impression I get from the article is that they are happy to use the original actor with his new voice for that, and he’s happy to do it; so again it makes no sense to hire someone new.

That’s cool how they will try to continue with the actor later.
