Bethesda veteran and executive producer Todd Howard may have been initially hesitant about the idea of The Last of Us star Troy Baker playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's titular protagonist, but the game's creative director now tells us that the adventure "wouldn't have been what it is" without the actor.
Baker is a prolific actor, perhaps best known for playing Joel in The Last of Us series, but according to him, Howard initially "rolled his eyes" at the suggestion of him playing Indy in MachineGames' latest romp. It apparently didn't take long to convince the developer that he was right for the role, however, as Howard previously recalled telling the actor that "we did a blind taste test, and people chose you every time."
