With just a few days to go until The Order: 1886 launches for PlayStation 4, developer Ready at Dawn released their latest Behind the Scenes video today, this time focused on the cast and characters.
For a few highlights in the video, you can hear the developers talk about how they wanted the characters to be rugged and battle-hardened at 0:55, with more details on each character shortly after, and a look at the mo-cap process beginning at 3:50.
On the PlayStation Blog, Creative Director Ru Weerasuriya talked about the actors they cast for each role, with the entire search lasting for many months:

Alice Coulthard embodies the subtle and complex character traits that define Lady Ingraine; a lady of the Victorian Era with poise and decorum. But behind her facade lies a skilled and deft warrior.
