to get him to join, I heard we had to find his ancient stash of prothean weed with a side of Threser Maw spices.

I like his voice, but I do hope it sounds better somehow in-game. Also, need his rifle thing!

I like it, but I do think more should be done to it. Just a straight accent doesn't seem alien; maybe put it through a filter or something? I'll be fine with it either way, though. I know a few really big, muscular guys with very squeeky voices so an accent not seeming to fit doesn't bother me.

Racism and ignorance, but unfortunately I'm not surprised by a lot of these comments. What the **** ever, I HOPE this is the Prothean's voice.

Aside from Mark Meer, I'd have to agree that the Prothean has some of the best voice acting.

Should've been Morgan Freeman though
that would've been great. His voice commands a sense of awe which would have been perfect.

I'm not sure how to respond to this. I love Prothy's voice acting but cant stand Meer's, to the point that I cant play MaleShep without skipping all his dialogue.

I love it. Really, how could some people complain about "since when are Protheans African?" And I feel like saying "since when do YOU know what Protheans sound like?"
It's unique... I expected some Legion voice, or something we've heard to much of in the past. It makes the Protheans stand out in this 'Northen European' sounding Galaxy.

Everyone in space should sound either eastern european or have an even midwestern united states accent.
Anyone who has any space travel experience knows this.
I believe you are right. Africans in space?!?!?!!?

Since when are Protheans African? Since when are Asari, Turians, Krogan and almost every other race North American? Since when are most Quarians Eastern European with a sprinkling of English RP and generic US? Since when does everybody speak English anyway? As long as the voice fits the character and the voice acting is of a decent standard, does it matter? Making a big deal about some voice acting because it's African accented is not cool.

All important as well. Let's design an entire curriculum that is a pre-requisite to posting on the BSN.

Haha thorough, especially the paramilitary training one. Let's see people be misinformed about how to hold an SMG now!
I might add Shakespeare or some sort of literature as well as a narrative theory course since people often like to discuss characters/stortelling in Mass Effect too. And because I am an English geek.

The prevailing theory is that Protheans influenced early human life. Early human life was in Africa. From what I gather, Protheans in this case don't speak with an African accent, Africans speak with Prothean accents.
As someone who does actual work in Sociolinguistics and language change, I can say with authority that this is 100% improbable in every way, even if the first sentence were true.
Oh yea? Do your xenoscience studies also extend to urban and agrarian?
I don't think you have any idea what I'm actually talking about, but yes, Sociolinguistics covers both urban and rural speech communities, and extensive work has been done on the history of African languages. The idea of a group of humans somehow inheriting a Prothean accent, and maintaining it over anywhere between 100,000 and 50,000 years is patently absurd.
I'm going to have to give a massive 'Who cares' to the Prothean's accent though. It's a sci-fi video game.
