Seriously though, I wonder if Bioware has considered that they may have tripped into an ethnics violation issue with hiring of Chobot. Even if it's a small part, the fact is that they hired a gaming reporter for a game makes it look like they're "buying" their way to a perfect score, even if that's not the intent. Someone didn't think this through.
No because Jessica Chobot is a voice actress . and plus she no longer does gaming stuff for IGN and she has a non gaming show on G4 . you people need to do some stinking research for once . really what crime did EA commit please tell me oh thats right none . Oh and one other thing Jessica never did any game reviews at IGN she was a on camera talent . who only reported on the big njews items for IGN's Daily Fix. it pays to do some simple research

Asking people here to do research instead of knee jerk crap here is like asking the moon to stop projecting tidal forces.

Every time I see someone talk about exclusive with Emily Wong, I have to wonder how many just bring it up so they can have a chance to take an Asian to bed. I mean really..
Unfortunately, we've gone to the realm of iconic looks. You can so judge a character based on appearance before getting to know them. Why? Because the creators designed them that way. A character's design (with regard to iconic looks) has to fit what the overall idea of who the character is.nitefyre410 wrote...

Whats sad is the people making objectification agruement at every turn - Some make valid points others you can see are completly full of it. The latter are really doing a disservice to the over all debate of how woman are protrayed because there is now this false dichotomy being created... that kills any kind of diversity when it comes to apperance and character.
You judge the character for the character not the appearance of the character

No iconic looks, then there's nothing to judge until you get the game. Iconic looks, on the other hand, begs that you form an opinion on what's being viewed or what is expected to be viewed by the public. If that isn't the case then there shouldn't be a reveal of characters before the game is released as far as I'm concerned.

Edit: Although on the bright side after seeing more screenshots I can see that the uncanney valley is caused by lighting, and not from a poor face scan. So that's a plus.

Why on earth would Bioware hire a first-time actress to play one of the major new characters in ME3? It just seems like blatant fan-service!
Major? She's a reporter.
i guess anyone's who's on the normandy nowadays is a major character to the series, like our cook/janitor and his epic quest of grocery shopping.

You're not the only one who thinks that.
'EA and G4 TV's Mass Effect 3 Ethics Issue'
http://worthplaying....itorials/84961/
"While this is no doubt great news for Chobot, as she's getting a chance to contribute to a top-tier video game from one of her favorite developers, the way the announcement was handled presents a bit of an ethical quandary for both EA and G4 TV.
Why?
Because a mere two weeks ago, G4 TV had Chobot previewing Mass Effect 3 in her capacity as a journalist.
No matter how you slice it, this looks bad."

It honestly doesn't matter if the game is good or bad.
When someone who worked on the game (note that she started working with Bioware around a year ago) also reports on it as a journalist, it looks like a straight up conflict of interest.
I'd be saying the same if it were anyone from Bioware or EA there "reporting" on the game. Casey is a great guy, but does anyone here think he's not biased for the game? He worked on it.
If he showed up at any outlet "reporting" on ME3 it would be a conflict of interest.
If you don't believe that, then why do we even have gaming sites? Shouldn't everyone just get their news straight from the corporate PR teams, complete with the spin that the publisher/producer wants?

I looked at her acting career. Don't people usually start small and work their way up? Most people start acting doing plays and small stuff. They usually don't start with big AAA titles like Mass Effect 3.

how do we know this wont have chobot skyrocket into something else based on her success with the game? your to quick to agree with what a gaming site says before you played the game yet talk to the charachter in game.
