Wrong.  This is one of those ridiculous myths.

This article says something different.

That's Mass Effect *1*, a single-platform game.

ME2, as others have noted, shipped 2 million units in two weeks...

Touché!

So let me get this straight-

Because the lead is voiced and they're thinking about implementing a ME style dialogue system, suddenly its Mass Effect?

You people. Really? Come on now.

Mass Effect has been more successful across the board the DA:O has been, why wouldn't they shift the franchise more in line with what works best?

You think Origins profit margin with it's 9 figure launch budget was anywhere

Uhhhh no. Dragon Age: Origins topped the sales past Mass Effect 2

Yeah, everyone says it but no ones ever dropped a single piece of evidence to support it. Latest information places both titles over the 3 million mark in sales, all be it a bit old for both. Considering ME2 had a much small development budget along side with ME1 it also means a larger net profit which ultimately is what best determines the success of a product from a financial stand point.

I'm happy. Silent protagonists are no better than cardboard cutouts.

well thank god the main character in dragon age wasn't silent. Mine talked quite a lot. And she had a nice voice, exactly the right one and she said things with exactly the intonation i intended.

very unlike Shepard who for some odd reason started to flirt with Jacob against my will

Who can not love Jacob .

VA kills games. It means load of content that could have been in the game gets cut to cover expenses for VA.

Shipping does not mean it sold 2 million units in two weeks

I wonder if they will have the complete texts or just something that describes whether you're cranky or happy.

[The Illusive Paragon]

I am a little more disappointed, but not the least bit surprised.

I would've preferred a silent protagonist, but I refuse to be disheartened by this news. I only hope the voice actors are superb, as in Jennifer Hale and not Mark Meer.

You thought Jennifer Hale was superb in ME?

Great... that ruined my hope for a good game.. ugh I just hope the voice acting isn't as crappy as Mass Effect... ugh...

I like the voice acting in ME.  i know there were a lot of complaints about Mark Meer, but I liked the tone and sound of it.  and I have always like Jennifer Hale.   Of course I can think of a lot of male voices I liked better but I was ok with the who they used.

Anyone with an Irish brogue could talk to me all day.

I admit to some concern on voiced characters, though.  Sometimes the tone is totally different then I see my character using.

I'm holding my breath until we get Jennifer Hale for Hawke.

The DA "sales" figures are also based on shipments.

It's not 100% accurate, but as close as you're going to get.  ME2 was a massive hit.

DA was a surprisingly big hit, yes.  This was helped by also being on PS3.  But it's not outpacing ME2.

Poor Mark.  I  thought he did a good job in ME2 but yeah he had some really bad moments in ME1.

[mordy_was_here]

Alright, so I'm disappointed that we're voiced. That aside, the whole running from Lothering thing has me greatly intrigued.

Granted she is a marvellous actress,and I thought she was superb in KotOR,but in ME her voice really,really got on my nerves.

Hale is a thorough professional.  Big fan here.

If she is in the game I hope she does another NPC like Bastilla or Dynaheir

[Loc'n'lol]

It also eliminates those awkward scenarios where you feel like your character should be reacting, but instead just stares blankly without so much as a grunt.

Yeah, well, I can't argue that this isn't a good thing. I'm sure you're all completely overreacting. Wait for the previews and then the actual reviews. Saying '"I wont buy it" now is just as stupid as pre-ordering right now...

This is my only problem. I know lots of people liked Mark and I won't disparage him. However, I thought he was a terrible Shepard. So much so he made me laugh when I watched videos of him talk. I found him so unbelievable it wasn’t funny. As long as they have good voice talent. I’m ok with the voiced character.

[Kaiser Shepard]

Ah yes, glorious! A major improvement in my eyes.

Now to find out who the lucky voice actors are...

Shipped is different from sold. Last I heard they reported 1.6 million copies sold. Not sure how much DA:O pushed.

EDIT: Wow these topics move fast.

Ugh.



*cries in a corner*



I hope to jeebus that if it is Hale (who is brilliant) she won't be using her uber-masculine graahh approach that she used in ME. I just could not connect with it.

[SirOccam]

I don't mind Hawke being voiced. I just think it's kind of a bummer that he's probably going to have some stereotypical gruff heroic tough-guy voice (the male version anyway). I prefer less "likely" heroes.

[Tsuga C]

If true, this is absolutely disgraceful. 

[packardbell]

That was probably the most obvious thing ever, but it's good to get a confirmation. Until we see the dialog system at work we shouldn't automatically assume it'll be bad. 

[XX55XX]

Given that Dragon Age is a "dark heroic fantasy", I daresay that Hale would be perfect for the female role.

I like this development. Lack of player character voice acting killed it for me somewhat in the original DA.
