 Am I the only one who actually FELT Sovereign speak? I felt it in my core. I don't know, maybe it's my audio. but his voice sounded like a bass amp. Does everyone think I'm nuts or does anyone think this too?

[Blunt 7rauma]

Yeah they did a great job with his voice. They made it very sinister, but part of it was the background music giving a great sense of foreboding. It's not the same with harbinger.

[Blunt 7rauma]

I guess when you hear harbinger about 50 times saying the same thing in a game, it's not going to be nearly as effective or terrifying.

Sovereign's whole presence was great. The first time he started talking to me I slowly went from ._. to D8

Plus they were playing a little game with us, wanting us to think he was just this obnoxious git of a Collector, if a slightly tougher variety.  The effect wears off on subsequent playthroughs, but when you first realize Harbinger's actually a Reaper, it does tend to change your perception of him fairly drastically, especially when you see him in the front line of the Reaper armada.  Did for me anyway.

Yes. Sovereign was terrifying presence indeed. He was a fantastic villian. Personally I think he shouldn't have been destroyed in ME1.

Instead he should have gotten away heavily damaged and slipped away before the Alliance fleet could smoke him. This would have improved ME2 plot greatly. In this alternate plot ME2 would be Shepard tracking down Sovereign who is trying to find an alternative root to bringing the repears back. In the end Shepard would have destroyed Sovereign but not before he activated some kind of device that allows the repears to return in a few years. This plot in my opinion would have been better because it ties in with ME1 alot more seemlessly and it makes more sense than ME2's plot.

I couldn't help but be disappointed by his death. ME2's main villain was nothing compared to ME1's

You exist because we have allowed it. You will end because we demand it.

ME2's main villain, or rather antagonist, was really TIM more than it was Harbinger.

He was to an extent. but either way Sovereign is still an unparalleled villain.

Sovereign was a great Villain if there are any old head here they might agree he reminds me of Unicron from the 1st Transformer movie.

[g-w-m]

Sovereign's vocal effects were PURE WIN. Absolutely epic.



Harbinger's... not so much. His was less "metallic & synthetic", & more "human voice with low pitch". A bit disappointing considering the threat he represents, & Sovi was done so well..

[Ghost Warrior]

Dunno about his voice,but Sovereign has some of the coolest lines in ME.

You know you can clearly see the Reaper hologram in the first cutscene the Collector General is revealed in? I noticed it immediately and was like "Aw f**k! Another Reaper."

I think a lot of Soveriegn's appeal was how he was presented and the gravity of the situation. Everything is new since it's the first game in the series, you don't really have a full grasp of what your dealing with yet. Then, boom, kind of out of left field, you finally get introduced proper to him, and that conversation is kind of a core rattler. The voice was cool, but just the way they pulled that off added so much to the character.

[xXSnak3Eat3rXx]

No, Admiral Hackett has the coolest voice.

I have to agree.  Sovereign is a very close second though.

And this...  ( MAJOR SPOILER WARNING )



still gives me chills when ever I hear it.

Sovvy sounded cool but he was as cliche as villains get. I was never threatened by him, I knew he was dead the second he started talking about perfection. Harbinger on the other hand made his force knowing by killing me with as much firepower as he could, oh and he did it from Dark Space. It made me tolerate his smack talk a lot more than I would from Sovereign.

Quoted for truth! Every time, every playthrough, I just burst into laughter.

The voice change from Sovereign to Harbinger is similar for me to the change in elcor speech from ME1 to ME2.

ME2 elcor have an annoying sing-song pattern, always ending on a lower frequency which I'm not really keen on, whereas the ME1 elcor had more variations in their monotony (if that makes sense).

Similarly Sovereign's voice was a lot colder than Harbinger (apart from when he says "I am Sovereign and this station is mine!" - that was a little cheesy.), dare I say a lot more 'machine like'. There is something in the way Harbinger says some lines that just makes me not take it seriously, like okeer.
