ME 3 Trailer Shows Default FemShep in Action

[scnj]

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my fav- [sub]okay, I won't say it.[/sub]

I was going to make the same joke, but then I to- NO! NO!

Femshep was always much more emotional in her performance. Still gotta give Sheploo some lovin' too.

Sheploo is on all the merchandise and trailers though.

I was thinking more in terms of Meer's voice work. People really don't give him enough credit, I mean he's come such a long way from his sentinel impression in the original ME.

 

[Vivace-Vivian]

Glad to see it. I like the writing in it better then any of the other trailers too.

 

[Monkeyman O'Brien]

Don't worry, I don't like her voice either. She just...sounds like she's trying too hard to be a badass.

Exactly what I was gonna say. Every line from her is like its high drama. I know the real Shepards voice actor gets a lot of shit for sounding flat in comparison to her but at least he sounds like he knows he can fuck your day right up. She sounds like a little girl trying to act tough.
Maybe her style would work in a Legacy of Kain game but in Mass Effect its just forced.

i think i prefer this one over the male Shepard trailers. its not just because she's done more voice work from shows i like well ok it is. she must really have a thing for redheads most of her big work she's done she plays a redhead

Mordin is awesome and I was romancing Thane.

Thane?

Sounds like your Shepherd will be eating fishsticks tonight, Am I right? *nudge nudge* Eh? Ehhhh?

 

[skywolfblue]

Nice! Much more badass then the other trailers for ME3 so far.

The way Hale pulls off the badass lines just makes me grin every time. Cliché and over the top in a hilarious and fun way.

 

[Asita]

Now that's the ME3 trailer I've been waiting for!

...Though now I oddly want to see Male Shepherd and Female Shepherd fighting alongside each other.

 

[RJ 17]

Still a pretty intense trailer, though. Glad to see Joker is sticking around, but I didn't see too many previous squadmates. Samara, Miranda, Grunt (or at least a krogan, not sure if it was Grunt)...they better not all be eradicated at the beginning. Mordin is awesome and I was romancing Thane.

I like Mordin's little Birds and the Bees talk he gives you if you romance Thane, though they're all pretty humorous.

But yeah, that's actually what I found most interesting about the trailer: not so much FemShep being all badass and actiony, but more the fact that it gave glimpses of ME 2 characters that will persist into ME 3.

I always held onto the theory that some of the ME 2 crew would leave, some would stay on. I figured Samara would head off after the Collectors were defeated, but there she is. Miranda and Jacob have officially sworn their loyalty to your cause, however it'll be interesting to see what role they'll play. Perhaps if you blew up the Collector Station they'll be recalled by Cerberus and only have incidental roles while if you kept the station they'll still be squadmates? Bah, I'm probably thinking to hard on this one and they'll be regular squadmates.

But yeah, from all the bits and pieces of information I've gathered, it does seem like every person who survived ME 2 is going to be on your crew in ME 3...and there's the fact that Kaiden or Ashely is supposed to return to your crew as well, along with Liara. Mordin has been confirmed as returning, as has Garrus and Legion. I've heard that Jack is staying on as well, which is surprising as I definitely figured she'd jump ship as soon as the mission was done. But apparently Shepard's will has tempered her rogue spirit and made her want to fight for something other than herself...talk about a personality shift. Apparently Wrex will essentially be as he was in ME 2: a cameo as the leader of the Krogan...though I would LOVE to have him back on the team! All I know is that it's going to be pretty damn crowded on the Normandy. Hell, in ME 2 you were stuffing squadmates into rooms all over the ship, you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting someone who wants to tell you a little more of their life story.

 

[Racecarlock]

You know, every previous femshep advertisement made her look like some advertising sex doll. This actually shows that she's a confident and strong commander who can actually kick all kinds of ass. Not bad at all.

 

[Valanthe]

Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god

*takes a deep breath*

WHew.. okay, I'm better now. I'm glad to see Jennifer Hale getting some love, Also I'm pretty sure I saw at least Jacob and Samara in that vid, two characters we haven't heard much about since ME2, looks good and keeps on reminding me....

24 days, 20 minutes....

Uh... no, that's completely wrong.

The survivors will all be in the game, but they won't be in your squad.

Bioware have "officially" said that ME3 has a smaller squad than ME2, although they haven't out a number on it yet.

 

[Harlief]

So in the Mass Effect movie will they release 2 movies, with male/femshep, or will they just change the character's sex every other scene?

If they can do FemShep justice, I'd like to see that. There aren't enough good female action heroes.
If they don't think they can sell FemShep without focussing on her boobs as her main character feature then they should just go for Male Shepard.
Fingers crossed no-one pitches it as a buddy movie.

 

[Canadish]

Pretty decent trailer.

You know what's better then a trailer? A picture of the Final Boss and Tali's face.

Spoiler

Don't go and get to mad. Oink.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Ugh all the comments about Jennifers Hale's voice...just because a woman is a badass doesn't mean she's a *****...It's like the minute a woman shows a little back bone everyone says it could never happen.

You again. Posting unmarked and untagged spoilers for a game that hasn't been released yet with the express purpose of ruining other people's fun.

That right there is the kind of despicable behaviour that is all too commonly displayed by the pathetic little denizens of the internet.

Kindly cut it out.

Yeah, pretty much. She might be overacting a bit (never mind that all of those lines are out of context for the sake of the trailer), but male characters sound like titheads trying to be badass all the time and nobody bats an eyelid. Then the tiny minority of female action heroes get pelted with this "ohnoes a WOMAN" crap.

And anyone saying Jennifer Hale always sounds the same is pretty obviously just going off KOTOR/Bulletstorm/ME.

Miranda was in there @1:03.

That said, I really like the trailer. It looks like the council will once again be attempting to hold back the commander. I'm glad I killed them off in the first game (however, I don't think this'll change a whole lot about the plot).

Re: Jennifer Hale whining: seriously, people. This is Mass Effect. Go over-the-top or go home. I'm not looking for a subtle and understated performance, I'm looking for a voice actor to sell me on the idea that he/she's the sort of person who would teleport into a krogan's personal space with a shotgun.

Also,
