If you could choose past or present famous scientists to be in ME:A as an NPC -- who would you want? My vote, NDT!

Him or Carl Sagan.
Carl Sagan would make an awesome NPC so would NDT. Rest his soul!
Copernicus. An astronomer that looked like Inigo Montoya.
Past or present makes this easy. Feynman! He could be the ship's bard, and help you on missions by unlocking oldschool doors and safecracking.
That, or Tesla running the armory. Just saying.
I would totally vote for Neil deGrasse Tyson - he's one of my favorite astrophysicists. ![]()
I'd love Neil DeGrasse Tyson voicing an NPC... or reading the codex entries.
Please make this happen.
it depends on the intended personality... I feel Tyson would make a great chief scientist of same research organization whereas Bill Nye would be a perfect solo researcher that goes to dangerous worlds on his own.

I would be fully on board for Neil DeGrasse Tyson voicing an NPC. Maybe a Mordin type of character but not a squadmate. Not only is he brilliant, inspirational and media-ready, he's also a super nice dude. I've met him twice and not only is he as nice as he seems, he remembered me and everything we talked about the first time we met. I practically fainted both times.
Not to forget that he also has experience with voice acting as well.

You have just made my day! Thank you for that!
It's a shame I could only like that once.
Also, this is just further proof that a holy scientific union between the ME universe and NDT is fated to be.
Please, BioWare! Make this happen!
Yeah, to hear his voice in ME:A, I would squeal like a pig in the mud and school girl that found out her crush likes her back. Would be even better if NDT played as an important NPC... Like how Anderson was to Shepard.
I'd be concerned that it would end up another Diana Allers (or Buzz Aldrin... ugh). Neil Degrasse is slick enough to swing it, though.
Michio Kaku
George Takei.
Is it too late for BioWare to call up NDT and ask if he can read the codex entries with the vigil theme playing in the background? Lol.
NDT would be great, but he'd probably sooner rip Mass Effect to shreds on Twitter than do any voice work in the game. He is not a fan AT ALL of Science Fiction movies that aren't hard Sci Fi. I imagine that would apply to games as well. He has no mercy for Sci Fi works that get their science wrong, and there is a lot that the Mass Effect series gets wrong.
They'd probably have better luck with Michio Kaku.
Stephen Hawking as the main character, for me. I'd like to see him criticize all the sci-fi elements encountered in the story, to humorously break the fourth wall.
"This is actually not theoretically possible at all"
"A ha ha ha ha haaaaa, yeah right. Good one."
"Not even Justin Bieber could make me a Belieber of that one"
Epic.
Throw in Bill Nye as the XO, and have them argue a lot, you know, about pudding and stuff.
