Pull a Marvel and do individual movies for every character, and then every couple of years do an ensemble one.

Seriously though, the only thing that makes races like the Turians and Krogan believable is that all the humans are also CG. A movie with live actors would be terrible.

So long as Jack got a decent film, I'd be happy with the Marvel approach. Course, we'd never get a decent Jack film because Hollywood, but I can dream, can't I?

maybe an Animatrix/Halo: Legends kind of deal. Stop letting Mac Walters write everything and open it up to a variety of people, see what they come up with.

PupsOfWar posted:I think this person had the right idea: See, this is why a Mass Effect movie won't work. The games are effectively multiple movie plots jammed together. An homage to Sci-Fi as a whole. There's no way to cram all that into two and a half hours without gutting it into boring as hell "Generic Action Movie #642" or making a confusing mess that can't spare more than two minutes to each plot point.

Any film is inevitably going to focus on the overarching story which is absolutely the most boring part of Mass Effect. It will be a huge stinker imo.

If you're the sort of person who jams the stick to the upper right or lower right while frantically tapping A, then Hale's voice acting is better as she saw Paragon and Renegade Shepards as separate characters. Meer, however, saw the Paragon/Renegade divide as something Shepard might say. Sure, he might be a bit boring by comparison but Hale's Shepard comes off very strangely if you're the sort to mix and match your approaches.

Exactly, which is the reason why I simply don't understand people that say that FemShep is unquestionably better than MaleShep. I am mixing answers every playthrough, no matter if I plan to end up with a Paragon or Renegad Shep, which made me appreciate Meer quite a bit.

Meer's earlier performance suffers really badly, because he completely misunderstood the character and the game. His Shepard isn't broad, it's flat and completely unengaging. Once he started having fun with it, and leaning into the extremes, his performance improved ten fold.

I always played a both ways Shepard and there was nothing weird about her voice acting. A person can be both compassionate and angry.

I'd say that Meer took a while, but he did get a wider range of emotions with his Paragon/Renegade responses. Admittedly, my memory is hazy, but the example my mind keeps coming back to is right after the introduction to Rahnok, where you get the option for a Renegade Interrupt to punch one of the Admirals for opening fire while Shepard & co. were still around. With him, he doesn't come off as "goddammit I'm going to wear your skin as a poncho when I'm through with you", but more "what the gently caress is wrong with you?" I don't mean to diss Hale, but from my (again, hazy) memory, she tended to play up the former mindset/tone a lot more.

Meer's better during comedic scenes, that's my only strong opinion. Other than that, I'm cool with both of them.

So if I want to play the whole Mass Effect trilogy with all the DLC in the future on my new super awesome PC I have to buy them on Origin right? Then get the DLC off the Bioware site that I remember people griping about a couple years ago since I can't see it anywhere on Origin? Why can't they just put it all on Steam like big boys.

Origin sells the major ME2 dlcs, I remember. Maybe not some of the smaller ones, but I remember buying Overlord, LotSB, and Arrivlal.

Sure, he might be a bit boring by comparison but Hale's Shepard comes off very strangely if you're the sort to mix and match your approaches. Sort of. When Hale describes Shep she describes as driven, tired, angry with where she is (ME2), etc. She describes her as a character beyond the choices you make in the game. The choices are simply options that FemShep as a character is capable of making. Meer describes Shep as "good or evil," "heroic or cruel," etc. He describes him as an avatar who is defined by the choices of the player. This is why when you see VA arguments it usually comes down to Hale fans disliking how wooden and boring Meer sounds (he doesn't have enough of a personality) and Meer fans disliking how tired and bitchy Hale sounds (she has too much of a personality).

I know I certainly wouldn't enjoy playing as an avatar who is defined by the choices of the player in a role playing game.

Not to interrupt the voice acting chat (I prefer MaleShep personally) but I had a question about ME3's Reputation, specifically as it relates to Priority: Rannoch. Is it possible to pick the final Intimidate speech option if I've been playing mostly as a Paragon? I basically understand everything else as it relates to that speech check, but I don't know if your Renegade bar has anything to do with it.

So long as you meet all the criteria to be able to have that option at all, I think you should be able to yeah. Mass Effect 3's reputation system doesn't choose your persuade options based on how much paragon or renegade you have, but how much total. So both options are pretty much always open. At least I think that's it?

I figured that it's like mana in Magic, with your "reputation" being colorless and your renegade / paragon being, well, not. Paragon / renegade score matters but players who don't stick to one or the other are punished to a lesser degree. The bigger moments will still require you to have a decent amount of one score or another.

At least I think that's it? ME3 has Paragon, Renegade, and Reputation (which is separate and acts as a multiplier to both Paragon and Renegade.) If you've been rudely interrupting people at the Citadel to give them their sidequest poo poo, then you should be good. I would save beforehand, and use the Gibbed editor (which works on both PC and Xbox saves) in case you don't have enough points.
