Hope this will help :-)

It does, thanks a lot! It'll be English for me, then.

I found most recent games had very good (french) acting. I'm thinking Still Life, Syberia, Black Mirror, Myst, etc...

Syberia's French voices were great. I haven't played Still Life yet, but I'll certainly play it in French when I do, as it is the language it was developed in. But I'm very wary of French versions usually. If the game is American or English, I always play it in English.
The thing is, I had a very bad experience with TLJ. I thought "well, the game is Norwegian, so the English version has no reason for being better that the French one". So I bought it in French... The translation was awful (the lines felt as awkward as Microsoft-linguo) and the acting mediocre. Which is a problem with a game that has extremely long conversations. And then I discovered that it had originally been developed in English and that the English voices were great. And so I bought again, enjoyed it a lot more and threw the French version away.
Somehow, I felt the situation might be the same with Fahrenheit. Seems like I was right (well, I don't know how good the French version will be, but it's still a translation from the original English version, so it's probably inferior).

Yeah, you're right! I mean, how guys wearing the beret who goes around carrying a baguette as well as a bottle of wine and women who let their hair grows on their armpit could be of any talent ?

Go **** yourself. Then buy a brain.

As or the choice between french and english, I would go for english because it seems that Cage directed the english cast during the recording sessions.

Thanks for confirming the info, though.
