Funny thing is (getting ready for the backlash on this one) I felt Liara's (Ali Hillis) was MUCH worse than Chobot's. Noone's voice in the game got on my nerves worse than her's.

Wow, this. I totally agree, but you're not the only one prepping the flame shields now.

I only feel mildly sympathetic for Chobot, as she should be well aware by now that in this line of work their are always supporters and detractors. I'm one of those detractors, and feel no regrets about it.

Hmmmm should we be getting the fire suits and extinguisher ready?

okay, lets take this one step further, but I thought there was a difference to Liara VA in ME3 as opposed to earlier VA.  the quality or something was different, noticeable, and yes.... irritating is appropriate:O.

I feel for her because I think she's baring a lot of the brunt for coming to embody the incestuous relationship between the devs/publishers and the gaming 'media'. It's not her fault that she's essentially an attractive girl who happens to be a gamer and made a good career out of it. Now she gets an opportunity to be in a game. Who wouldn't do that?

Because they went too far.
A cameo? Sure, why not. But they essentially gave a major supporting role to someone WHO IS NOT AN ACTRESS.
This is bizarre and unforgivable in the light of the fact that she was placed into a role that should've been given to Emily Wong or Khalisha Al-Jilani (both voiced by talented VAs) and comes in the light of major characters like Harbinger and well loved characters like Kal'Reegar being completely sidelined.

Therefore, the ire is justified.

I think you're misunderstanding me.  I think the 'ire' for the decision to employ her was justified becaus it was an awful decision..  But that's not her fault.

Personally, I think she should have refused and asked for a cameo.
That's what I would've done. I know my limitations, and I would be no one to replace voice actresses who have made a career out of it.

She's ok. She has a tattoo of the triforce on her arm. She's cool with me just from her love of Zelda. I didn't hate her in ME3 either. Her character wasn't important enough to go all nerd rage over like some people do.

This, really. I saw her a total of three times in my entire playthrough. I let her on my ship but didn't seek her out for anything really. Same with Cortez.

 We should stop being so mean to Jessica Chobot because even though she sucks, she still probably gave it her all.

You are now just realizing more effort was put into Jessica Chobot, rather than Tali's unmasking/face.

Just your daily reminder

Ok this is gonna sound creepy so I apologize.

In ME3 Liara sounded like that 14 or 15 year old girl in some movies that tries to sound sexy and seductive...and fails miserably

[SovereignWillReturn]

Hey, honestly, I've seen FAR worse voice acting. But her model, uselessness, and IGN fanboyism from Bioware made me hate her so much, and I never visit IGN.

Multiple layers of Nomex, heat resistant fiberglass cloth, HALON, PKP, anything else you've got.

I got the fire department on speed dial

 I didnt mind her VA actually, it wasnt as good as say.... ali hillis, but she did good for a first try and i feel sorry for the amount of **** she receives from a currently self absorbed and to be honest,spoilt fan base

If you were going to have a war reporter besides the obvious two choices they should have looked into Geraldo Rivera. That guy would be out there getting shot at right beside you. All while maintaining his trademark mustache!

[turian_rage]

She played the part of a reporter to a tee. The fact that she was Chobot was a bit of fanservice, especially because she could be romanced, and her image was something familiar to gamers so it was all too obvious. Plus they gave her an awkward, expressionless, droopy-eyed mannequin of a model. However, I ignored her as Chobot, so I didn't really mind her much.

[Jim Darksworn]

She replaced an established charecter from the very first game who they ended up killing on sodding TWITTER. No i do not feel sorry for her.

Really? I thought she was good. Plenty of emotion, especially in the scene where she recorded your legacy.
I cant tell if you guys just think Liara as a character is annoying, or if you really felt like one of the more accomplished VA's in videogaming did a poor job.

Diana Allers isn't even a character, she's a walking advertisement for IGN.

She was put in over two existing, superior characters. Her voice acting is "meh" and she sounds like a video game host not a journalist. She works for a company that came out with some rather...controversial defenses of the ending. Does she get a lot of flak? Yes. Is it deserved? Against her on a personal level? Primarily just the "meh" voice acting, but overall, the character was completely unnecessary and resulted in a number of issues that were best avoided.

Not all of this is by any means Chobot's fault personally, but she didn't exactly shine either. Her character was forced, felt that way, and came off very much as a video game journalist in SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE when we already had decent journalist characters in the game.

[someguy1231]

In my opinion, Allers represents all the problems I have with the portrayal of romance in general in ME games. A character who is just a forced, shallow love interest who you can have sex with after a few conversations after meeting her. At least the other love interests have characterization outside of their romance, but not Allers. So if any of you have ever wondered why I loathe the romances so much, imagine that all of the other love interests have a little "Diana Allers" in each of them, and we see it when we romance them. That's why.

Nope.
She is not a gamer.
She is not a nerd.
She is not a geek.
She is just someone putting herself out there in the gaming community like Olivia Munn [who is also not a nerd or gamer] that used nerd appeal to become famous to get into acting/modeling.

Her assets are worth jack nothing.

i am so glad she ends up dead after you kick her off the ship/don't recruit her.
Makes me wonder if you threw her out airlock.

Im going to repeat this from my first post. You say she's not a gamer?...well, she has a tattoo of the triforce from Legend of Zelda on her arm. I hardly think a non gamer would have a permanent marking on herself related to a video game if she wasn't a gamer. She does play games, she is a self confessed nerd, and tech lover, so I hardly think you saying she's not, when she says she is, holds much water. Ive read interviews with her where she talks about her love for gaming.

Every actress has a script. And every poser has a stance.

Touche!

[Agamo45]

Not really. It sounds like she wasn't even trying with the voicework, and it's kind of irritating that they spent time and money rendering such a useless character when they could have used those resources elsewhere.
