Because they were lazy enough to have the game's main badass have only a few sentences of speech during combat.


Bingo.  Instead of having the main villain have a bunch of dialogue they had him repeat a handful of sentences over a period of hours.

Well, it's not like they could have inserted a scene where we sat down, have some coffee, and have an in-depth conversation with him. He was pretty much set on killing Shepard. Besides, did you want a different line every time he "assumed direct control"? I'd rather have "Assuming direct control" and all his other lines achieve meme-dom than have different lines, tbh. It's funnier that way. Maybe we'll get to know him more intimately in ME 3.

ME2 gave us:



"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."

"Ah yes, the 'Reapers'"

"I'm Commander Shepard.."

Oh I don't know, maybe have something similar to ME1 or have more than 5 FREAKING LINES?  I've heard him say Assuming Control way too many times on  Insanity.  It  gets old after 15 minutes.  I mean jesus variety does have its uses.  There is a reason why I shut the audio off now.

You're simply too closed minded to accept Harbinger's loving serenades.

True, true. lol. I recall that conversation with Sovereign. I agree, it would have been nice to know more about him. Interestingly, if I'm not listening to the audio, I have a harder time fighting. It actually benefits me. d:

Garrus was personally attacked. HAHAHA.

Geth, an annoyance. Also, Asari, reliance on other species for reproduction. Not true. :|

Sort of true, as the cause of Ardat-Yakshis is pureblood matings, indicating genetic weakness as Harbinger says.

So....when does Harbinger say half that dialogue? Because I've beaten the game 3 times and haven't heard half of it.

It's impressive how much there actually is. You tend to remember only a few, but when you listen to that clip and realise how many you recognise, it's obvious you were underestimating the number of lines.
