 I was wondering if anyone else would find it interesting if in Mass Effect 3 for a brief moment, Shepards translator broke which would lead to all the aliens to speak in their native tongue. Wouldn't have to be for very long, such as it happens and gets fixed on the Normandy or something. Throughout both Mass Effect 1 and 2, I've just always wondered how wonky the alien's languages sound.

Translator? Nah he uses babel fish.

Haha, that would be amusing to watch.

The closest instance I've seen is the first time Thane calls FemShep "siha", at which point she will say "I think my translator just glitched. What did you call me?"

With Shepard's luck, the translator would break just as he was about to tell the Council that the Reapers were here.

Slapstick hilarity insues as Shephard pretends to understand council while delivering the message of galactic doom through charades.

Annnnnd, Pacifien wins the whole damn internets again!

It'll turn out the Turian Councilor was supporting you the whole time and your translator was just broken. Insults and praise sound very similar in the Turian language. For example: "You humans are all racist." = "I understand. Thank you for doing your job so well, human."

"Ah, yes, 'Reapers,'" = "HOLY MOLY GUYS WHAT'RE WE GONNA DO ABOUT THIS?"

I would love a moment like that.



Garrus: (makes weird clicky alien noises)

Shepard: I can't understand a word you're saying

Garrus: (more weird clicky alien noises)

Shepard: ...don't be a smartass Garrus

Garrus: 0_o

Garrus: I don't need a translator to tell me when you're being sarcastic

[jakeforti]

I've always wondered about that. Especially with the romances! Hah!

*Sexy time with [insert LI here]*

*Translator quits*

*"Ohhhhh goddd, [insert LI's name here]"*

*".,mxc#@34!*&^%ksssssssss"*

*"W-what?"*

*"Kd#%@?!*"



*pause*



"Oh well, actions speak more than words!"

"aasdfKJS@#%~?----;kasj*&#$%$*#&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That is just too adorable.

[Tasker]

I'd love it if Shepard could choose to speak Prothian, that'd really feck up the translators.

[Piwgh]

 I actually think this would make a pretty amusing (but not very long) side quest.

[PnXMarcin1PL]

That would be a funny part of the game if it happened during normal conversation. It'd be disastrous if it happend when confronting the Council about Reapers.

This is why I love the Bioware community.

Yeah that's where I got the idea from. I was just wondering if it was a stupid idea or if I was the only one that wanted to hear the other languages.

Funny idea, but I don't think it would make any different. Council would not believe anyway.

[Annihilator27]

Assuming direct control=Help!!! the control mechanisms are messing up again.

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

This would indeed be hilarious.

[Praetor Knight]

Yes this would be neat. There are a few thread floating around asking for the same.

I hope ME3 has something like this.

[InvincibleHero]

Who says it isn't implanted knowledge. The Prothean beacon could have transferred it or biotics when he was trained by the alliance. There could also be many other explanations.



Note with Hanar and Asari you wouldn't need a translator. The Asari councilor could translate to both the Salarian and turian councilors.

[Silentmode]

As lighthearted as the thread is I think this has serious potential in ME3. Imagine you and your squad are groundside during a Reaper attack on whatever planet and the Reapers send out a signal that disrupts everyones translator. Imagine the chaos that would ensue, all the aliens making incoherant sounds and the only people Shep can communicate with are other humans (assuming they speak english). It would make the situation very dire and all the more miraculous if you can overcome it. Plus I just think it would be infinately entertaining.

[sporeian]

Shepard: Huh... Tali sounds Italian without my translator.

[caradoc2000]

Or just a minor malfunction when encountering the Reapers:



Reaper: "All you base are belong to us!"

Shepard: "Huh??"
