A brazilian in the ME universe would **** up the galaxy so bad that I'm already starting to cry only thinking about it.

I would say no POC were particularly represented well in the mass effect series, (though it's still much better than most sci-fi/fantasy series).

I dont care how inconsiderate this may sound....but a lot of people have to deal with people that speak bad english with a heavy indian accent thanks to tech support numbers, our jobs or otherwise. The last place I want an accent, ANY accent, is in my video game about aliens and humans in the future.

James Vega is from Spain, but you don't see him wipping out paella and churos while dancing the flamenco yelling "viva la Normandy!"

So sure, put in an indian, hell put in an Italian or a hungarian or a Chinese dude or a Russian like in ME1 or whoever. Just leave the accents out of it please.

I already get enough accent from Australian Miranda, British Zaeed, Scottish Engineer, and Quarians with their "talk English like I have an unrecognizable foreign accent even though you're listening to a galactic translator"

No offense Indians out there....

The only thing that bothered me about the accents was that all the aliens spoke standard American...except the Quarians. The Quarians sounded like they just threw darts at a map of Europe when they were casting VA's.

But regardless who cares about accents, would it really be that hard to include a few more varied skin tone NPC's? That's like a few lines of code.

True. the character creator already gives us that ability.  Shouldn't stop them from creating more varied NPCs.

LMAO

One of the posters above talks about Brazil and the southern hemisphere and Spanish representation.  Brazilians are descendant of natives and or Portugese colonists, thus they are different from the other Spanish speaking nations.

They aren't the only ones either, Belize speaks english, and has a strong German population, or Guyana, who is also very much Indian, thus also speaking English.

Generaizations are the root of all evil, and race generalizations are just plain stupid.  We are all human.

 All we get is Samesh Bhatia... what a cool dude! We need more of this guy! Petition for him to be in a squadmate DLC!!!

The old guy whose wife died in ME1?

If we're to demand accounts for all races and cultures, it's going to be a whole bunch of extra characters. I mean, there are no nordinc characters, no slavic ones (Kaidans surname suggest that he's slavic, but he doesen't look or sound slavic, nor does he ever refer to anything typically slavic), no Germanic or Franc characters. The only hispanic is the walking stereotype pendejo called Vega.

I see very little point in having token this race or token that race-characaters.

I think the Expendables should be DLC squaddies. ALL of them.
And then we could get some characters who aren't actually going to be in any of the Expendables films, but should.

Sean Connery
Jackie Chan
Clint Eastwood
Bo Svensson
Peter Stormare
Nicolas Cage
Jessie Ventura
Michelle Rodriguez
Mila Jovovich

For all the people who says Accent is a issue, well have someone of Indian Descent from a primarily English speaking area? I'm English but I have indian descent and that would be fine for me if they put someone who looked Indian but spoke with no accent, if I wanted more representation in the first place but i'd rather have a Brazilian female B-)

And what did the Asians get: Emily Wong (fine) and Kai Leng (the world's worst ninja), and Capt. Matsuko on Noveria in ME1, and the Ramen noodles guy. That's it.

I just loved his accent.
He should be the ship's cook! +1


Damn right. When everything goes to hell, a good meal keeps you on your feet. And in the US at least, Navy eats the best. Army gets powdered eggs stateside, Nazy cooks bake fresh bread every morning. My ship needs a damn competent cook, especially if we can't have Gardner. I'm guessing his Cerberus ties were a problem, even though I got Gabby and Ken on board.

Macapa Boot Camp??? It must've been hot as hell!

And it would be funny seeing Reapers forces trying to navigate through a favela...

Umm...okay.

PS: I rolled my Shepard as an Indian guy. With a Chakram launcher.


I also roleplayed my favorite Shepard as being of Indian decent (South Indian, to be specific).  I named her after my Indian grandma too.  Thulasi Shepard ^_^


My Shepard's origins are unknown (Earthborn, orphaned) but he features (and therein hertiage) are Pakistani. :happy:

There was a Crewman Patel in ME2, so there's another one. And I seem to remember another Indo-pak sounding name on the memorial wall in ME3.
