File clutter exists because he allows it, and it will end because he demands it.

That which you know as "formatting" shall be your salvation through memory wiping.

Damn you, Chris! I was telling myself not to get excited!

Finally finished the Singleplayer last night. I didn't quite get the public outrage about the endings even after the Extended Cut since the EC ending I got was one I expected.

Now to farm enough credits for the last 5-6 PSPs I need to max out the last Rare Character Cards and... then stockpile money for the next MP DLC, I suppose. o_O

Personally, I think the extended cut redeemed the game. I have a few issues with the endings still, but overall, I really enjoy them. They are very emotional and bittersweet, and satisfying.

Anyways, I was mucking around on wikipedia, playing "Six Degrees of Video Games" (connected Bethesda, Bioware, Blizzard and Valve, in that order!) and to my surprise I find that Jennifer Hale (femShep) also voices Leah in D3. Yet, the thing is, there are distinct vocal differences between FemShep, Jedi Knight Bastila (KOTOR) and Leah. That impressed me. Honestly, I would not have recognized her in either Bastila or Leah had I not read it.

I wasn't a fan of destruction or control, but I loved EDI's voiceover in the Synthesis ending. Especially the part at Shepard's memorial. The EC was very well made and I'm glad it was put in too

She voiced http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bastila_Shan and not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballista

That's who I meant.

I can't spell.

I chose destroy, and it was what I expected. It was perhaps not a happy ending, but it was an ending I can be happy with because I expected there to be some sacrifice involved, and those sacrificed had before proven to me that they would be willing to lay down their lives for the galaxy so... yeah, I can live with it. It is sad, but acceptable. I am more surprised about Shepard apparently surviving. The only thing I didn't really buy was the Catalyst AI. If that truly is something controlling the Reapers, then to hell with it. I am not going to take the word of a random character that say the Reapers are the only solution. Heck, it is far more likely that it is simply a Reaper program designed to stop you.

I'm not going to play a series for about 120 hours with one clear goal, then do a U-turn in the last 10 minutes, trusting someone who is the alleged master of the Reapers. **** that.

Haven't seen the other endings, but I suppose I will see them when I do some further replays along the line.

She also voices the female sylvari character in GW2. I would have never guessed until someone pointed that out to me. She really does have an impressive variation to her voice acting. Which certainly helps as she seems to be in every video game.

You can spot some similarities in certain roles, but she is just one of those voice actors that has an insane control over their voice. Another is Mark Hamill. I would never have figured he'd be the Joker from the Batman animated shows and the Arkham games.

Oh I can hear the similarities if I try. There's a slight Canadian accent

but the thing is, I wouldn't have noticed had I not looked it up beforehand.

Its odd that she would have an accent when she was only born there as she grew up in Alabama.

Probably picked up from parents/family

**Adam Jensen** · 2012-08-01, 10:00 PM

Going through D3 in IMDB its almost as if Blizzard went to BioWare to borrow voice actors. There's almost twenty from Mass Effect, Dragon Age and SWTOR.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, or that it's terribly surprising that voice actors would do games for multiple companies. Just found it interesting.

**Doozerjun** · 2012-08-01, 10:11 PM

Voice actors aren't specific to companies. Look at Steve Blum, he has been in about every video game as well.

I know that. Just found it interesting that there were so many from BioWare games in D3.

**Yuanrang** · 2012-08-01, 11:15 PM

That is because BioWare often focus on getting the best voice talent and more and more games realize that solid voice acting is important.
