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:Bioware didn't have the money to hire back Mordin or Miranda's voice actor.
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.
And I bring you Exhibit B:Canadish said:
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:

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.
Here you go. [http://ea.gamespress.com/release.asp?i=1716]Canadish said:Yvonne Strahovksi is back? You don't happen to remember where you saw that confirmed do you?
The leaked script suggested otherwise. Though an amendment could be possible.
I can't link you (I've long lost it) but I believe they said Mordin's voice actor is officially changed in a Twitter/Forum post after getting bugged about it.
Actually, I too, loved Tali's character from the first game onward.I Max95 said:i like Tali as a character, she's my main romance option, followed closely by Liara, but apparently that makes me in the minority on this thread.
DAMN RIGHT.SpaceBat said:Definitely. Oh and also for being an incredibly thick-headed and nearly morally bankrupt person which is unable to think for herself and who will not budge from her beliefs in the slightest, no matter how horrifying the consequences of her actions may be.xvbones said:(Samara. Samara is the answer. Because she is feared, respected, honored, can rip open a bulkhead with her mind and handle a fucking assault rifle. *starryeyes*)
Because it's all about how well you can perform in combat. Badass >>> Every other characteristic you could ever think of.

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:i like Tali as a character, she's my main romance option, followed closely by Liara, but apparently that makes me in the minority on this thread.
It doesn't have to make sense if it happened in the past. It's a general rule in mass effect.Jadak said:I never got how the Quarians ended up with no immune system in the first place...
I mean, okay sure, they live in suits, that would do it. But why do they live in suits? Because they have no immune systems... Because they live in ships? How the how does that work, how would the mass exodus of a population in overcrowded ships result in a sterile environment? If anything it should be the opposite...
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.

It doesn't help that her in-game face looks weird.AnotherAvatar 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...

It's magic right?
I fucking knew it.
Sci-fi my arse.

Woah, woah, calm yourself, my man.xvbones said:Can I just say that I have never understood the massively overwhelming fanwank passionate love for Tali?
She is seriously just some girl with an accent whose face you never see. Is that it? Is it the mystery? Is it the knowledge that fucking her would kill her from all the various infections?
That she is so fragile she can die from breathing unfiltered air?
And don't give me 'yeah but she's also pretty tough', because no she isn't, she's a goddamned engineer, her skillset isn't even useful unless you're going against robots.
She should be kept on the ship where she's safe and not wading through lasers and bullets and thus making herself into a monumental liability what with her extraordinary fragility.
And while we're on it, why can't Femshep fuck Mordin Solus?
(because he's too fucking awesome, that's why)

ImmortalDrifter said:Sexuality as we know it would very much still exist. If Christianity never existed I would start finding men attractive?
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:There's a better than 50% chance that the answer to that is yes. No way to tell for certain. However, if casual sex with men and reproductive sex with women was the norm for men, then even if you preferred women, you'd still probably find aspects of certain men attractive. Upbringing and societal pressures are powerful things. I'm not saying you're harboring any secrets or anything, I'm saying that if our culture wasn't so into gender roles, then your brain would be wired differently.
Besides, my point wasn't that ANY character would flip, but that they always were that way and Shep just never paid enough attention to notice. But back to that below.

Also, Michael Beattie did a lot of work on The Old Republic, so I don't see a reason for him NOT to return.
