Just finished the Overlord DLC. Fun times. Shame Jack or anyone else had anything to say.

The ending adds more credence to my earlier notion that the Teltin experients on Jack - and perhaps the Lazarus Project as well - had been horribly rushed. TIM's such an impatient little ADHD b!tch isn't he?

That is some serious debating going on. Good on you guys for finding serious stuff to talk about. On to my question: I heard that somewhere in the game Jack commints on TIM's eyes. Does anyone know when/if this happens?

EDIT: Typo.

Can someone answer this?

Concerning the lack of squad banter in Overlord, I'm not going to hold that against it. It's unreasonable to expect them to reassemble every squadmate VA for this 7 dollor two and a half hour DLC (although it is an amazing piece of DLC). And it would be lame if they just recycled old lines from the main game. They added extra animations and interactions which were nice. Like when you're talking to that first guy and your two squadmates are doin stuff on their own. I thought that was really kool. And how they react when Shepard gets "possessed" and how they beat at the door (which, based on Jack's recruiting mission, she should have been able to tear that door down with a blink).

I can tell through the Kasumi and Overlord DLC that BioWare has listened to the feedback about squadmate interactions. With Kasumi commenting on other squadmates and your LI, and in the Overlord DLC your squadmates do more than just stand around during cutscenes and conversations. Seeing how they've already acted on feedback from the fans makes me even more excited for ME3 and future ME2 DLC.

How about the armless LOKI Mech? If you don't take the renegade interrupt one of your squadmates shoots it. In this case, it was Jack. And I laughed. Oh sweet mercy did I laugh. That alone made me forgive the lack of dialogue. Yes, any of the squadmates could do it as long as you picked them first, but I apparently created the illusion that my mute Jack was still in character, renegade interrupting my renegade interrupt.



But seriously though, nothing to say? Not even a sound file they could have recycled? Someone saying "SHEPARD!" That would have worked. Immersion would have held. But no one just beats their fist against a door while not saying anything.



But the next DLC or the one after, they're going to HAVE to bring the VAs back. I can't see how they're going to bridge the gap between ME2 and ME3 with all the principal characters mute. I think it's gonna be a perilously long wait for the next one.

On my playthrough, watching Jack drag bodies off to the side while Garrus keeps tabs on how many caskets he needs to put them in made me laugh a little I have to admit.

[Errationatus]

If Jack is anything, she fits the definition of sociopath much better than psychopath.

Hmm, can't say I really enjoyed Overlord. Kasumi is definitely worth more to me for the same amount of BioWare points.

I'm just shocked Vakarian People's Front haven't come around to tell me off for making crude jokes. Ok, I apologise for causing you mental damage - have a hug.

I'm sure they've seen worse, tbh.

This indeed. It's not a crude joke, it's a very true observation. Nothing wrong with poking some fun at characters

Anyway, now that I'm here, I want to throw in some support for Jack. Definitely my favourite female LI.

that is seriously one of the best fan-art pics I have seen for any character in the Mass Effect series altogether

I don't know how but alright.

Yeah they could have at least recycled something like them shouting "Shepard!" when that door seperates them from you. Single words or small lines could have been reused without it seeming like a blatant recycling of dialogue.

But like you said, I don't know how they're going to have DLC that bridges the gap between ME2 and ME3 without bringing back the VAs. I could see them bringing back the VAs for a big expansion pack, which is what I really really really hope happens. But any DLC that costs ten dollars or less will probably not include any new squadmate dialogue.

As someone stated before, I'm sure Jack's heart was pounding a mile a minute when this happened in the DLC.



"I'll tear down this goddamn door with my own two hands if I have to.   I'm not losing him."

That door? Stop Jack? The girl who doesn't need doors, she just makes them. I bet the Purgatory station wished it was made out of that stuff

^Well, I made a suggestion for that pesky 9th question a few pages back, but I think it got buried under everything else. The contact is still up in the air though. Never thought sending a friendly letter would be so complicated...

How about "How were you chosen as Jack's VA?" or something along those lines.

That was your question, yeah?

And Jackal904 said that they would investigate which contact to...contact.

Yeah I'm checking it out right now. I was busy yesterday and I wanted to play the Overlord DLC.

Edit: I just read the "About Courtenay" section, and it's pretty interesting. It says:

From Courtenay Taylor's website...

Courtenay grew up in San Francisco with an English mother and Australian father. She spent a few high school years in Berkeley as well, before attending college at the University of Redlands and then San Francisco State. She majored in Broadcast Communications with a minor in theatre.

Courtenay spent a season in L.A. working on HBO's "Tales From The Crypt". There, she trained extensively in boxing and kick-boxing at Venice's now defunct World Karate Training Center.

Courtenay returned to San Francisco to attend the American Conservatory Theatre and study voice acting with The Voice Factory's Taylor Korobow. She was a founding instructor at Gorilla Sports, a popular boxing/spinning/yoga gym that branched out to Manhattan Beach and Chicago.

In 1998 Courtenay moved back to Los Angeles, and began working steadily in voiceovers. Recently she has crossed over into on-camera work with roles on primetime TV and in feature films.

Courtenay’s talent can be heard on over 200 TV & radio spots, and as characters in over 50 of your favorite video games

So basically she can kick your ass in real life, and she has done a ton of voice work in video games. Awesome...

Edit #2: And her email address is courtenay@courtenaytaylor.com. It was right on the front page .

I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate to just email her out of the blue, as opposed to giving her some warning by going through one of her talent managers first.

Nah I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not like we're setting up a formal interview. We're just asking her some questions about a character she voiced in a video game.
