Yvonne Strahovski is under a non-disclosure agreement not to tell people she is or is not in Mass Effect 3. Meaning... she is under contract.Canadish said:
Mordin Solus's voice actor was doing a lot of voice work for SWTOR. For someone bioware 'doesn't have the money to hire back', seems to still be doing current work for them.
You are not alone brah, Miranda is what we call in the Dutch Eastern dialects A PLORK which is an acronym for: a Prachtig Lichaam, Onmeunige RotKop translated it would be something like Beautiful body, incredibly ugly muck.Irridium said:Is it just me, or does her face look ... off? It's in uncanny valley territory for me. The same with Miranda's face.Canadish said:Not going to start a whole thread on this, but I figured I'd post it here, as it is Mass Effect related.
IGN Girrrrrl Gamer is now a ship mate in Mass Effect 3.
Good to know that IGN's review will be wholly fair and completely unbiased.
Also, consider the following:
Bioware didn't have the money to hire back Mordin or Miranda's voice actor.
But they DID make money to hire IGN's poster girl.
Classy act from Bioware, as always.....
Just looks... ugh.
In allot of scenes she reminds me of someone suffering from Down syndrome
I dont understand how that happened though, the actress that Miranda was copied from is one beautiful woman, maybe bioware has to hire different people for the scanning.
I like Tali as a crewmate with an interesting background and fun personality, never as a love interest +when there are no bots around she slows things down by having crappy skills in ME2.
My favorite squadmembers in me1 are mid-high level Kaidan and Liara not for the personalities but for general lols to be had using lift, throw and singularity making most enemies encountered a joke on insanity.
The only crew member in me2 that i almost always take everywhere is Miranda, overload, warp and boosting my damage on top of that is a solid choice for insanity runs.
Although i am growing fond of running Kazumi besides her as a solid damage dealer using her shadowstrike vs all protection types.
And I bring you Exhibit B:Canadish said:
All this is odd, since Bioware CAN make good faces. I mean, look at Jack. They managed to pull off a "crying face" with her without plunging her into the uncanny valley. And they even managed to pull of the "almost crying face" with her. Something I still believe they pulled off through wizardry.
Bioware can do faces. Guess they just need to stop trying to make the in-game characters look like their real-life counterparts.
I think the biggest mistake they make, is trying to make characters modeled after real people. It just doesn't translate very well.Irridium said:And I bring you Exhibit B:Canadish said:

Also, Michael Beattie did a lot of work on The Old Republic, so I don't see a reason for him NOT to return.
Actually, I too, loved Tali's character from the first game onward.I Max95 said:
She has great dialog, an interest that is more "independent" than the other female NPCs [sub](less blatant than Liara or Ashley...both of whom I feel comes across as pandering rather than as a strong character)[/sub] and she acts as a window into one of the more interesting cultures in the Mass Effect universe.
How is she morally bankrupt?SpaceBat said:
She took the difficult choice of becoming a Justicar, so she could stop her daughter from going on murdering trips.
From the information that was given on Justicars the decision is not as easy as "lol imma be a justicar nao"
Lucky. My romance options are Ashley and Jack so I'm in the minority on [i/]every[/i] thread (ME3 love triangle is gonna be... interesting). I never really understood the hate these characters get.I Max95 said:
OT: It's another high-res texture mod. Why is this so important? Oh, the artist put in his interpretation of what a quarian looks like. Big deal, Mass Effect fanart is riddled with that.
It doesn't have to make sense if it happened in the past. It's a general rule in mass effect.Jadak said:
Seems like an odd mod. I mean I know Mass Effect is old, but it still looks absurdly good.
Also, fuck the very fact that there will be an IGN girl in ME3. Bioware, when I was tossing you money in your youth I didn't realize it would turn you into a whore...

Strange because an article the escapist published all of an hour says otherwise, at least in Miranda's case.Canadish said:Not going to start a whole thread on this, but I figured I'd post it here, as it is Mass Effect related.

Either that or . . .
that just makes it sound like we'd be more fucked ....
TLDR: Geek guys like geek girls, especially geek girls that in comparison, make them feel all manly.xvbones said:
That's pretty much the reason. Anything else is rationalization.
Woah, woah, calm yourself, my man.xvbones said:
I think that the overall reason so many people love Tali is because she is fragile. Here's the player; Big, Bad Commander Shepard who can kill anything, and here's Tali whose portrayed as sweet and innocent and someone who the player is supposed to want to protect (if they go down that route with her).
When Ashley is a racist *****, Liara has become rather cynical, and the only other option is Miranda, the biggest *****, or Jack whose basically a man in all but physical appearance...is it any wonder so many people flock to Tali in the romance section?

Better than 50%? No. For that matter science has identified the likely cause for homosexuality. Everyone is not, despite the popular conception, "a little gay". Being able to recognize that some one else is or isn't attractive does not mean you'd want to fuck them if not for society. That is a very distinct line. There is a very real biological reason for that "wiring" that has nothing to to with social mores but instead with in-vitro stress. He is actually correct in his assertion that sexuality as we know it, along the current spectrum would exist. This is not a judgment on anyone, simply a scientific fact:Bara_no_Hime said:

That asides people are freaking out because they don't see certain actors in the voice actors trailer. Well we don't see Brandon Keener and we know he's Garrus. that does not mean he is gone or replaced. And with that knowledge I hold out hope, perhaps optimistically, that we'll be hearing our old pals with their old voices, again.

Yvonne is listed as Miranda Lawson though there is, troublingly, no Mordin listing.
