I think this is trolling at its finest.

[RogueAI]

Right... because the first human council member is black. As well as Jacob. Let us ingore that, and call this game racist of all things...

Isn't the default Shephard half-black or something as well?

I'm sure they would have, if they could but most voice actors are part of SAG, just like regular actors. Thus they have a limit to how much they have to be paid. And you can bet that actors like Claudia Black, Jennifer Hale, and Simon Templeman are going to demand much higher rates than the standard. This means that for a four hour session (since the limit, i believe, is $300 per hour) you could be paying anywhere from $1200 to $10,000, or maybe even more. And recording all the dialogue for a game like Mass Effect 2 probably takes at least 20 hours per voice actor, possibly even more. That's $6,000 to $50,000 PER ACTOR. To fork over anotehr $50k for a top-rate voice actor like Hale or Meer to voice the protagonist, let alone 6 others, would never be approved in the budget. 

You know, I wonder if it would really be so bad if they included some kind of key/pitch shifter or something for shepard's voice, and just limit it to a reasonable amount? I know that pitch shifting voices can make things sound funny if you go crazy with it, and obviously its not an ideal solution, but maybe just a slight change in the voice pitch would be just enough to make the voice match something like an african-american character more?
I know nothing about professional voice recording or anything though, so maybe its a crazy idea.

I always play as a Black Shepard (well mixed race)

[Kozlovskiy]

I thought Shepard was based on this actor. The name and resemblance is uncanny.

I can't believe I spelled resemblance wrong. Shame on me!

Do you think we should be able to make an African Shepard? 

I just showed my African-American friend this game and he complained how it was racist becuase the main character isn't a "****". He said that "White" people are depicted as heroes because they're freeing the galaxy. I told him that it's a person and what difference does it make the color of his skin is. What do you guys think? Are you with me on this one?

Oh my...that's why i'm sometimes sad to be white & male. Theres just no one i can blame for my own shortcomings, neither the evil racism, nor the evil patriarchy:P

Seriously, theres Jacob and (for some people) even Anderson, whos about the most influental Human alive (not counting CEOs of secret organisations and ex-Spectres)

I can't make sense of what you said. Just one thing, do you think that my friend is right? I think this black bull **** need to calm the **** down already.

Omg you really complain about that? Than what if I say I want a Chinese shepard

I'm not complaining. I just think it's ridiculous how people want something that isn't there for illogical reasons. We should have a Chinese Shepard and then add math games that only the intelligence of a Chinese person will be able to solve.

[Drasill]

Well Shepard looks mixed race to me. Especially in the Mass Effect 2 art.

Was it that mistakable? Anyway, i certainly don't think he's right.
As i said, there are plenty of powerful, black people in the game, plus you're free to make a black Shep anytime.
Come to think of it, the original Shep doesn't even look like you'r average European

I just wanted to express my annoyance of people (like him), who simply blame everything bad in the world & their life on others

Friend reminds me of your average retarded lefty, and a black one like danny glover. Remember he ran off to europe looking for someone to shoot films with black heroes, the same year every major motion picture for the whole year had black protagonists.



it's getting prettty freaking annoying that 10% of the amrican population thinks they deserve 90% of the spotlight or "it's racist".

[VasQuipQuip]

I'm not touching this...

Maybe your friend should get the Nobel peace prize.



Doh! sorry...

In game politics aside, your friend sounds like he is from the Black Panthers *jokingly*.
Mass Effect is not racist, you choose which "skin color" you want to be and everywhere i turn there is plenty of diversity. You have scots, african Americans, Austrillians, Russians etc.

(its australians not austrillians)

I totally agree with you. I can't believe black people complain when their life is a lot better than ours. I do believe we give them gifts every month from our tax dollars through welfare, right? That's beside the point, the point is, if we should agree with his view and include a "black" Shepard and a separate voice actor to make the dialogue more realistic. 

I think that because they're this far into development, it would be pointless to add an African Shepard implemented into the game. If you or anyone you know thinks like this, please speak out. The world must do something to eradicate this problem.

I think they should of made a different voice actor if you make your Shepard an African American.

Because Shepards voice actor with an African American doesnt really work out.

Of course, they should spend another few hundred dollars on the voice acting of the game because of a silly political issue.... yeah, Sure...

You know what, they should make a voice track with an italian accent also. We don't want the italian-american community not to be able to connect with the character, do we? 

Sometimes people with their "represent minorities!" slogans make me facepalm so hard that it's not even funny...
