[QUOTE=Arachnidus;34836551]I don't have a PROBLEM with it, I just think it's kinda funny. It's a complete 180 from how I envisioned a [sp]Prothean[/sp] would speak. It's not the accent, it's that it's too human. Turians and Drell have that throaty, reverberating quality to their voices. Asari tend to have a seductive yet dignified tone. Volus and Elcor...well, that should be obvious. Hanar are unique because of their very nature, and their "speech" reflects that. Vorcha, Batarians, they all have distinctive qualities to them.
But not the [sp]Prothean[/sp]. It just sounds like some random African dude, with no inhuman qualities to it. Maybe that's intentional, but I was expecting a bit of a difference. I like the voice as it is, I just find it kinda funny because of how unexpected it was.[/QUOTE]
You can definitely hear a sort of echo, it's not just some African dude talking.

I'm sure there's a quality in his voice, some sort of effect that makes the voice seem alien. I don't know how to describe it, but it's there, we can hear it.
Is an "echo" the right word to describe it, though? When I think of echo, I think of the voice repeating somewhat, bouncing off the walls of a large confined space. I don't sense that aspect in his voice, though I don't think "warble" or "bubbling" is the right word. It's kind of like being underwater, only it's clearer whilst still retaining the effect.
[QUOTE=-Ben_Wolfe-;34836702]It's funny that some people get upset based on how they [i]assumed[/i] it would be like.
Nihlus, Saren, Tela Vasir, and [sp]the leaks mention a salarian Spectre named Jondum Bau[/sp][/QUOTE]
god this is like when people started defending Other M's portrayal of Samus

[QUOTE=milktree;34836678]except that this issue is definitely worth having a shit storm over. repackaging a lore-critical character to be sold as $10 day 1 dlc is crossing the line and is absolutely unacceptable.[/QUOTE]
If you're so pissed off then don't buy it. Your choice.
One of my Taekwondo instructors is African and his first language is french.
Every time I hear the [sp] Prothean's[/sp] voice I will hear my instructor yell "HEY! HEY! TURN DA HEEP! GO! GO!"
On the horizon today it looks like a 90% chance of Shitstorm with a 1% chance of Dinglehail and moderate to severe Shit Lightning. Bring your umbrellas with you today folks it's going to be a shit-tastic day.

Flanging is what I think you're thinking of (the same method is used for turian vocals):

I will enjoy this add-on more if he actually makes subtle clever references to Bob Marley songs or Jamaican related things in game.

why would a kenyan voiceactor reference anything from jamaica?
they aren't remotely related... at all
My first gold item. From about 20 Veteran crates I think:

[QUOTE=mercurius;34831643]Lets talk about the multiplayer. I think it's a huge mistake that they didn't allow us to unlock all classes. My point is that they are still able to collect viable information from the gameplay statistics to balance the final product. I heard an update for your game on the X360 costs the company 40000 bucks. So they better get it done in less than 3 updates. What needs to be nerfed and buffed in my opinion: Stasis is a litte bit OP, especially agains phantoms. I took 8 of them out alone yesterday. Slightly nerf required. Other similar powers (Concussive shot, Energy Drain etc.) need a slight buff to stun Phantoms. This one change will make other classes viable for Gold and not drop Asari Adept into oblivion. Charge and Nova is slightly OP as well, vanguard will be hard to balance. My point is that every class should be able to reach the highest score at the round end, play what you enjoy and not what gives you the highest score.[/QUOTE] It's 10000 per region minimum, so 70 grand for all regions.

Jamaica is no where near Kenya. It's in the Carribean.

Finished ME2 playthrough in preparation for ME3. Did every single quest except two. Forged ID quest (Asari never spawned) and the data package quest for those two Salarians at Omega. I convinced them to stay away from Aria but the quest is still marked unfinished.
Amounted to 31 hours 17 minutes with all the DLC, but no scanning (just save-edited all the minerals). 100% in every star system. Good to go.
