If I had voices stuck in my head forever, I would install Alexa or Siri. Would you?

Ironic because the voice actor IS a female.

The voice isn't bad but I'm surprised it wasn't more distinctive.

I like SAM's voice. Would be interesting if in the next game, he intentionally and gradually makes his voice less and less monotone as a part of character development and what he's learned from his symbiosis experiences. Basically, an audial sign of his growth.

Huh...bit odd they went with manipulating a female voice to make it sound male but it works.

No problem with the voice, but I'd very much like him to stfu about mining zones and hazard warnings. I'm slow-playing ng+, currently on Voeld and losing my damned mind from his nagging.

This! Fortunately, it looks like at least they'll tune those down in the patch tomorrow.

Like many here, like the voice, but there should be times we can mute it. Perhaps a better solution would simply be an non-intrusive on screen indicator for situations like hazards at the least.

SCORPIO's voice was awesome.

SAM kinda sounds like HAL - I would like a little more inflection and depth to the voice.

I'm sorry Dave...

The weird thing is, those already exist. They just added the annoying audio on top of it for some reason.

True enough. I know for myself though, sometimes I get so caught up in combat I might not pay as close attention as I could/should.

No voice, no ai. Should have just been a device to let you activate remnant stuff, give details on stuff you scanned etc. Backstory of SAM could have easily been tweaked to fit this as well.
Wasn't a fan of the whole ai thing with edi as they "humanized" her too much and it seems they are going down the route of treating technology like people again.

I don mind sam at all, but the hand holding in this game... jesus fucking christ after completing MEA im currently playing Mass Effect 1, and what a difference no marking everyone and nothing telling you everything every 2 seconds.

In andromeda you're supposed to investigate a never seen before Place but it has a fucking marker with instructions on what to do before you even go there.
