That would make me 100% unsatisfied with the EC, then.

Not asking for any crazy additions, but if Jack isn't in the EC for a Shep that romanced her then I couldn't care less.  I hate the StarChild, but if the emotional closure was good enough, I'd be able to overlook it.

Without Jack, that emotional closure won't happen. 

I think the EC will fail regardless. It's gonna be hard to make that ****ty ending shine. Sole purpose of the EC is to make sure people will buy future DLC.

Even if she appeared but was unvoiced?  What about if she appeared in still-image epilogue "plates"?  Or was mentioned by a narrator?

I think it needs at least a few lines of dialouge from every romancable character, so each Shepard gets to talk to their LI. But if we're wishing, i want a proper dialouge tree. I want to be able to have a chat with Jack about the future, leave the series on a nice note not the crap one it sits on at the moment.

She needs lines in the EC. Especially if they give other LIs lines. They know they are walking on egg shells they wont ****** off a section of the fan base like that.

EC is going to fail regardless though

Some of that stuff might work, sure.  But ... if this truly is the END of ME3 (assuming that there's no expansion or post-game DLC) then I think Jack would have to have some dialogue.  I'd like a proper emotional conclusion to Shep and Jack's relationship ... and just having her appear and say nothing would be kind of ... odd.

Personally speaking, I've been holding out hope that there will be an actual post game DLC down the line that would let us use Jack in some kind of final mission.

Perhaps theyre still writing Jacks part.

New to me and I didn't see these in my play through.

Different voice actors record at different times. This is nothing new, really. When you do voice-over work for something like a videogame you naturally have to accommodate quite a lot of people's schedules (and actors tend to have very busy schedules; they kinda need to, otherwise they, well, starve), which means that VO directors can easily wind up recording two different actors' lines many months apart. This is also exacerbated by the fact that the actors who work on a given game (BioWare games, especially) are often located in many different places around the world.

Far as Jack in the Extended Cut goes...well. I think I've said before that the odds of seeing new Jack content (at least in that DLC, specifically) are, in my estimation, rather slim, though naturally it would be nice to be surprised. I could perhaps see them doing something very basic, like adding her face to Shepard's flashbacks near the end (I honestly wonder why they didn't do that with all the love interests to begin with), or I don't know, having her dig Shepard's body out of the rubble or something, but it should be noted that neither of these things necessarily require voice-over work.

And honestly, I could deal with that, I think. Obviously, it'd be 500,000 times more preferable to have Jack in full form, with Courtenay Taylor's wonderful, vivid performance bringing her to life, but if it's between no Jack and some silent cinematics featuring her character model and Shepard's...yeah, I'll take the latter.

(Like someone lost in a desert and scrounging for the faintest water droplets beneath a cactus plant. Any amount will do)

I asked her about the Extended Cut DLC and if she's been contacted by Bioware a few hours ago...I also included tweets from Ashley and Kaidan's VO about them recording. I'm not sure what to make of this though...

^ Good job. Was actually going to ask too, but I figured someone must've already hit her up.

Not sure what to make of that either, but I will remain cautiously optimistic - as I have for the last two months.

The pessimist in me has this to say: She can't confirm/deny because Bioware doesn't want her to say anything,
because none of the ME2 squadmate VAs will be returning, and answering in the negative would cause negative perception of the EC before it's even released.

Well, someone told me that Thane's VA responded, but his character is not with us anymore.

A valid point of view, to be sure.

It could also mean she just doesn't want to spill the beans on any projects, as a personal policy (she doesn't mention ME3 specifically)

The hope-springs-eternal optimist in me says she could be under NDA for other, unannounced projects, like Jack-specific DLC!

For what it's worth, as someone who follows her on Twitter I understand that she rarely identifies the videogame projects that she's currently working on, usually just referring to them in the broadest of terms (e.g., "working on a new game today", etc.). For her to refer to a game in specific detail, it has to be very obvious that she's involved (like for example, when she mentioned that she was recording Jack's ME3 dialogue last year; by that point we'd long had confirmation that Jack would appear in the game).

(This all reminds me that she mentioned scoring the lead role in a videogame a few months back. I should maybe look into that whenever it comes out)

[MattFini]

^ For ME2 LIs, who are we talking? Courtenay, Yvonne Strahovsky and whoever voices Kelly, right?

Thane's out for obvious reasons, and Jacob likely is, too (LOL).

I'd like to think this *IS* doable - especially if BW intend to be true to their words about creating a more intimate, personalized finale with the EC. I'd fail to see how this would be possible without the remaining ME2 LIs.

I suppose while we wait to find out...how about a drink?

Of all the people in the Mass Effect universe you wouldn't want to mess with, Jack most definitely tops the list. Her biotic abilities are pause enough for concern, but combine that with a '**** you' attitude, a thirst for violence and mayhem, and an almost universal distrust for others and you have a force of nature you want to stay well away from. And yet for those Shepards who took the time to get to know Jack, there is a hidden vulnerability, a desire to be wanted and needed by someone else for something else other than her biotic skills. There is a fragility to Jack, and dare we say, a poetic innocence which is desperately wanting to be found and appreciated by the right person. We've called Jack's drink 'The Psychotic Biotic' but it's a loving moniker to represent her most overt characteristic, not her only characteristic. We warn you - just like Jack, this shot packs a punch - so be careful with how many you slam back.

Recipe

Coat the shot glass with Habanero Tabasco Sauce then layer:

8 ml Vodka
8 ml Whiskey (we recommend Jack Daniels, of course)
8 ml Bourbon
6 ml Red Bull to fill

I thought it was pretty cool they came up with a drink for every squadmate out there

^ They're all fairly fitting.

Though I think Jack and Liara have the best ones. I'll be trying them tomorrow night without question!

[Udalango]

Im scared to try Jack's I dont do spicy food so the Habenero would punch me right in my mouth and then right in my stomach

Here's a lovely Jack speed paint I found on Tumblr. Really love the colors.

Earlier in this thread we talked about Jack in the Gears of War world.

How about God of War. She would tell Kratos to "F**k Off" and he would be all like. Que?

Just dropping in to say I'm working on a doodle that somehow ending up being a drawing of Jack. I'll post it up when I'm done.

Yes, please.  Need more Jack fanart to ease the uncertainty of Jack's role, or lack thereof, in the EC. 

[From Tuchanka with Love]

 Thread needs more sexy Jack, preferably wallpapers.

Hmmm. Tumblr's more useful for finding Jack edits and graphics, rather than Jack art. I always did like this, though:



Is it weird that I can actually see Jack liking cats?

No, 'cuz Jack is easy liken to cats, as I've explained before.  Aloof and independent, fierce when provoked, loving in their own cat/Jack way.
