I noticed Diablo has some cool in-game quotes (meaning not part of cutscenes or videos) from the warrior character,plus just the sound of his voice is cool. Reminds me a bit of Torment which I also liked a bit.

Just finished the quest where you kill this wizard. "What's the matter?Did I break your concentration?" as he dies.. nice!

What are some other good games featuring this type of voice acting?

Ben Throttle from Full Throttle was the man and his voice was absolutely perfect for the character. The drifting badass with a heart of gold stereotype done to perfection - gruff, witty and a little bit poetic. Voiced by the late great Roy Conrad (RIP).

Ben in Full Throttle (Roy Conrad) andGuybrush from Monkey Island (Dominic Armato) were perfectly cast. The Longest Journey series also has perfect casting with their heroines, April (Sarah Hamilton) and Zoe (Ellie Conrad-Leigh).

The arbiter in Halo 2 ("Coolest voice in the universe" Keith David - Goliath from Gargoyles) is welcome in any role.

Ben from Full Throttle, Manny from Grim Fandango, and April Ryan from The Longest Journey are ones that immediately come to mind.
Can't forget Cate Archer from the NOLF series.
I also thought Tommy Angelo from Mafia had a cool personality and voice acting for a protagonist.
Also, Heather from Silent Hill 3, she could be a little whiney sometimes, but out of all the protagonists of the Silent Hill series shes the only one to have spunk and actually wasn't afraid to talk smack to a demon.

I really liked how in the Thief games Garret seemed very apathetic to almost everything, including when he explains villian's take-over-the-world plans.

Luigi concedes your point, eh? That man has some serious self-esteem issues.

Beside games that people have already mentioned, I really enjoy the voice acting in Indigo Prophecy and Riddick. Vin Diesel played a pretty big part in the construction of that game and his dilgence showed especially with the voice acting.

I loved the voice acting in NOLF and Thief 3, but I thought the nameless rabble of enemies you kill had the best lines. The thick, stereotypical accents in NOLF had my sides splitting.

For protagonists, I've always liked Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher in the Splinter Cell series though. Dry, matter-of-fact tone to his humour.

The guy that does the voice of Solid Snake. Sounds like he could kick Clint Eastwoods ass in real life.
