This idea comes from DAI with the selection between two voices per gender. But it was also due to having race as a choice. Seeing as ME4 will feature a human only protagonist, do you think resources should be invested in two voice selections for ME4. Just as an example. one voice is well spoken almost sounding posh but tolerably posh and a more gruff voice that sounds like a character with experience.

One voice in the style of an idealist and one in style a renegade? (male and female) ? absolutely YES!

[Vazgen]

I support this, if only because it gives more options for character creation. But only if they have spare resources, I would not want them to sacrifice other aspects to include different voices for the protagonist

[Ithurael]

I really like the idea of having two voice actors per gender or even by playstyle.

 

But I agree with Vazgen...I don't want it to take up too many resources...I can imagine the mass effect budget for Voice Actors was high enough already..

[rapscallioness]

Nah. Not really interested in this, myself. I rather have one very good voice actor (male and female va's) that has a solid range.

Whilst more choice is always good, the concern here is cost.  It must add a fair bit of costs to have multiple voice actors for the protagonist without adding any content, and so I would rather the money is spent elsewhere.

DA:I had multiple VAs to choose from because all of the races don't sound alike, and often have different accents. It allows, for the most part, an option to pair a voice actor with your character that stays fairly consistent with the game world's atmosphere or lore.

 

In Mass Effect this feature would not be needed if the protagonist is human-only. I could see it as possibly being an option however if there are multiple playable races.

Only the human race, was confirmed?

I'd rather have just one voice for the PC and more dialogue in the game. Resources are always the bottle neck and in such a dialogue heavy game as ME, the PC voice is not an inconsiderable expenditure I'd imagine.

Of course, if they allow us to play aliens, that complicates things. Not sure how well one could just work with audio filters but I guess if we had a species choice, they'd need multiple VOs. Just one more reason why I would be surprised if it were going to happen.

I don't believe so.

 

But it is a possibility that only humans will be playable, as that was the case with every Mass Effect game so far. While multiple playable races would allow for more options in character creation, it would have some drawbacks as well.

Ahh; Im under the impression that there will be other playable races seeing as many voiced that they wanted this before and after a new mass effect series was announced. Though I do see what you mean. I'm just waiting to be amazed by the next mass effect :3 Time will tell

I wouldn't be against having to choose between a light and a gruff voice if they allow for different races. On the other hand, if we can only play human then I'd rather they spent that money elsewhere.

By the way, this is the kind of thing, I am completely opposed to. I don't want one voice for the paragons and one for the renegades, not even something close. I don't want to already be biased during character creation (at least not during my first playthrough) and I think a "idealist vs. gruff" or anything like that would do this. I want my character to be unbiased off the start and be able to decide as independently as possible for each situation. Whether my character comes out idealistic or more renegade in the end, that should be a result, not a paradigm during my first playthourgh at least IMO.

It would be nice to have more than two. Although Inquisition's VAs weren't bad, they just didn't really feel like they fit every race. For ex, I can see the American voice coming out of a Qunari's mouth but it doesn't look right coming out of an Elf's. I had to take it on my Elf since the British one definitely didn't look right coming out of his mouth and I already used it for my human character lol It'd be nice if they had them based on what you want your character's personality to be like like they had in DA Origins. Sure they didn't speak past combat in Origins, but choosing from stuff like "cocky, experienced, etc" and such was neat

For once I'm gonna be honest and be all business like here. I don't think it worked very well in Inquisition. It certainly can work, but it's a huge budget-resource thing and a big risk to take that, if it doesn't pay off you've sacrificed many lines of dialogue just for a pretty insubstantial bonus.

 

IMO Voice 2 Male fails in Inquisition and I'm not completely sold on the female 1 option either, so while you can argue all day that it's good then, that we didn't only have one per gender so I'd have ended up with voice 2 male and 1 female only I think there can be more focus towards nailing the actor that really owns the role of the protagonist if there's to be only one voice per gender.

 

The main story seemed disjointed and largely contrived in many areas in Inquisition.... at worst it was way too damn short and I really don't want to see that being a problem in NextME and I think cutting extra actors for the player character might be money spent on more meat for the main story instead.

I'd much rather be able to select a first name.

 

Worked fine in the first game but it got alittle silly by the third game. It always bugged me that close friends and lovers kept calling her "commander Shepard" even in private.

Failing that, atleast some nickname that they come up with like Vega does.

I'd rather have playable races first
