Yes. She also named her drone and says "Nobody is faster than Chikiti Fastpaws!" which is a Baldur's Gate referenceJoeBoy101 said:

Bloodlines is another good choice, from what I remember. I haven't played it since 2004 or whatever.
But I can't think of many other recent games with the amount of dialog ME/ME2 has that's delivered so well throughout the entire game.
Just out of curiosity, what would you consider the best? I'm having trouble coming up with many other options when you consider the size of the script, which may or may not be fair.

EDIT: aaaand I didn't realise that was Carrie Ann Moss. :lol I need to check the voice cast for this game. There's way more non-video game actors than I originally thought.

I freaking love this game so much. SO MUCH. I played the first five or six hours, getting my first four or five squadmates on Omega, and I just want to go home and play it some more. I have to go on a business trip for three days and it infuriates me. I JUST WANT TO PLAY MORE ME2, GOD DAMMIT!

Well I have to admit I do like Bender instructing me how to be a Vampire.:lol
This is the game of the generation so far. I think I am about half way through and it continually impresses. I am really digging the writing here, and the characters. Tali takes it for me - the voice acting is great for her, as before, but she has evolved beautifully - more mature, wiser and less care-free to ME1.
I have had one or two minor bugs, but otherwise this game is awesome.

For video games? Sure, I'd probably agree to that.
Steve Blum does play too many people, though.
I don't know if it's a common view or a "meme" but I love the VA as well, but hate Shephard's VA. Almost wish they took the DA route of a silent protagonist as his monotone Q&A just ruins some scenes for me. Then again he can be pretty good when I'm busting out Renegade lines so I dunno what the deal is. Mordin is my favorite though.

Same question for you as for neojubei(sp), what do you consider the best then? It's probably what I enjoy most about the ME series, and I'd like to compare.

Yeah, MaleShep is completely foreign to me. It's so odd hearing/seeing him in videos. It's such a funny game when you think about it like that.

I'd probably have a hard time saying what's the best. Half-Life 2 and episodes, BioShock has an amazing set of voice actors and BioShock 2 seems it will maintain that level of quality.gregor7777 said:

I don't know I love it when MaleShep starts working someone over and when gets really pissed. Then again I've never felt or understood any of the MaleShep. I really enjoyed Mark Meer's voice work.
Like I said earlier one thing I like about Shepard as a lead is that s/he is a normal human being, with a family, and not someone who is the reincarnation of a god, merged with some mythical spirit (DAO), or genetically created (like Deus Ex). I just like that in theory anyone one of us could be a Shepard.

For some reason the 1st didn't click with me and I'm so glad I was convinced to give ME another shot. This game has been one helluva ride.

Yeah, I will never get the Nolan North gets too much v/o work when Steve Blum is still working or Cam Clarke (not that I dislike either of them, I really love Cam Clarke). I just wish v/o directors would let actors use different voices more often. I mean look at all the great role Mel Blanc did, can you imagine today he would be told to just do one voice. Fred Tatasciore is one of thew guy these days that I'm always surprised to find he's doing a voice for. He really has quite a range.

Oh I just meant the joining thing. I actually meant to scratch that example out, I'm sure there are a ton of better ones than the Joining ritual.Cep said:

Uncharted. Its not a fair comparison since everything in Uncharted is scripted, but plenty of the lines of conversion in ME don't really mesh too well. Its really obvious they were all just recorded lines, as opposed to actors playing off each other.
And yeah, male Shepard isn't so hot. Its not just the lack of proper emotion at times, he just doesn't have a a good voice. I don't need Michael Ironside or something, but he needs to have a little more girt and gravitas to his voice to be a badass space commander. At least for me.
Even though I wouldn't say Male Shepard's VA is the best, I think the other characters have amazing voice acting, and I would probably say they're the best I've seen in a video game.
For example, even though I don't like Jack that much based on her personality, I loved how there was this mix of sadness with trying to stay tough when I told her I wasn't interested in her. Similarly with Zaeed, I found it amazing that I could appreciate the character even though I don't like the personality of that character. Thane's voice actor has a great sense of timing, and just a cool voice in general. Tali's "Boy is it hot in here" was so adorable, and her voice is just hot. Archangel had a perfect delivery of the sparring talk. And Mordin was superbly voiced during his loyalty mission.

I hate that in every game
having the main character talk is way better than the silent protagonist, I like ME a lot more as a RPG beacose the main character actualy speaks it ads that extra something to a dialog, it just looks stupid when you just stand there while every else is talking
speaking of which:

Yeah, if we're talking UC1 (haven't played 2 yet) I'd respectfully disagree. The VA is excellent in UC, way above average, but there just isn't anywhere even close to the massive amount of above average lines you find in ME2. It's a difficult question in my mind because of the huge script.
As an example, I consider Portal to have amazing VA, but it's basically just one actor and a limited amount of lines.
You will get a mission later on involving something call the "IFF." Once you begin that mission, you will be strongly encourage to finish the game as quickly as possible. So do not do the "IFF" mission until you are satisfied with your crew, ship upgrades, number of side quests done, etc.Vlightray said:
