Patrick Steware would just try to negotiate with the reapers over, and I quote "Earl Grey, hot".
You can guess where that gets him.

He will defeat them without firing a shot by using the power of a Cpt. Picard speech? I woudn't mind borrowing his ship btw, it's the Enterprise!

His Enterprise is pretty useless. Plus its as ugly as hell

I'd definately go with the new movie one.

It's because he never uses it properly, they could give him a shuttle and he will be fine, Picard ships should be given to Archer or other captains that needed that kind of firepower. I'm talking about the E Enterprise, not the D cuz the D is ugly as hell btw.
I like the design of the E and with some upgrades (like the Cerberus logo, better shields, 20 Thanix canons, extra phasers and quantum torpedo launchers, DISMISS THIS! bumper sticker as a massage for the Council) it will pwn dreadnoughnts. And it has a holodeck!

Not only have I laughed at your posts, but your sig cracks me up as well.

Thought you should know.

The problem with famous name people voicing games is that they can be less convincing because they are so well known in their other role.



I would put Marina Sirtis in this category as Benezia in ME1. I'm not saying she wasn't good. What I am saying is her role as Deanna Troy kept popping into my head which was distracting.



I'd be interested to know to what extent Bioware sees famous VAs as an asset to the game beyound be very good VAs. I presume EA views their fame as a marketing advantage.



I ask the question because if they aren't actively used to sell the game is there any point in paying them their undoubtably higher fees over equally talented, but unknown, VAs?

I'd like to see David Hayter in ME3. Ideally, he would be Spectre.



Brian Blessed would be cool as well, probably as a larger then life krogan battlemaster.

No love for Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion?



This makes me sad (And, in my opinion, Mass Effect would suit their voices far better than Halo ever did)

[GothamLord]

Personally I think Nathan functions better as a live actor. Alot of his appeal is his facial expression and mannerisms. Things that you dont get from him when he does voice over. Cant stand the Halo games so I havent played ODST, so I cant really comment on that one. His voice over for Justice League and the Wonder Woman movie though didnt really jump out at me.

On the one hand, it's nice to see good talent used in the game. On the other hand, when it's a bit distracting, because you picture the actor doing the voice, that's a bad thing. I'd rather put up with the distraction and have the game voiced by people good at the job though.

I have to agree with you in part about actors lending their voices to a project.  For example, the movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was troublesome, because I recognized Ming-Na, Alec Baldwin, and Donald Sutherland.  The only character I was able to disconnect from and enjoy was James Woods' villain.  Using popular voices is a double-edged sword in that if you advertise the project based on the talent and less on the collaboration of work.  Take the Pixar movies; they promote the story and characters as a priority.  The trailers for UP, The Incredibles, and Cars are void of credit sequence naming the actors, unlike the animation projects of Dreamworks (e.g. Shrek, Madagascar).

In my mind, that's both a PR and consumer problem.  The folks at EA/Bioware should hold off on releasing the cast information as close as possible to the release of the next game.  With both Mass Effect 1 and 2, I didn't learn about the voice talent until a month before street date.  I like trying to recognize different voice actors in video games but refuse to go further.  I don't want to compare the performance of Cree Summer (Tiny Toon Adventures - Elmyra) and Steve Blum (Cowboy Bebop - Spike) to the other roles they have played in video games (e.g. Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins).

EA has to sell the game based on the fame of its voice actors; that's just good business.  In a fair world though, they should give props to people like Cree Summer and Steve Blum because they do 2 or 3+ roles each.

Robert Picardo as an AI, because I like cliché's

Nathan Fillion as an N7 soldier, because I like cliché's.

Til Schweiger as a bad guy of some description. Because he is just awesome in Inglorious Basterds.



Mark Hamill as a pilot because I like..- well you get the point. Or he could be a reaper, he does the Joker fantastically.

^^  This

I dont know how well he'd transfer into a VA, but damn I'd love to see him try. 


Also Mark Hamil = Paul Grayson from the novels if he makes it into ME3.
