I think it's funny the asari adept is obsessed with butts. She's the Tina Belcher of Andromeda.
I'm also curious about the whole 4th wall breaking thing. Doesn't really bother me that much just so... random. Why? What was the motivation for that?

I think it's adorable that the entire journey from here to Andromeda has not changed the Turian's favorite porn.

The voice acting for MP is atrocious to say the least and I have to wonder how we went from awesome ME3MP to this. Who the fuck developed this game voice acting, some pubescent teens that just finished watching Episode One!?! ... Now that is pod racing... Lets start with the Krogan... in 3 they were great. We could have head but fests to show our enthusiasm, our heavy melee which is sorrily missed but instead we get Dude, where's my car. Seriously they just needed to add that title as a comment for Krogan, and then add a tatoo of Dude and Sweet on their back to be complete. They sure don't sound anything like what I would think a Krogan should sound like, let alone what they should be saying. Salarians, they are ruining any sense of them being really intelligent species every time they open their mouth. I could go on, but will have to add in the others when I have a few more minutes, but damn the voice acting just destroys any immersion. I know this game has some balance issue as no UR gun should be lower than tier 2, but the VA is I think is vital for how a player perceives the races of the galaxy and being a part of that, vs what we have instead is irritating the more you hear it. This is part rant, and part what is everyone else here think of the voice acting / lines for MP? This might be out of left field, but my guess is they wanted to stop the typical stereotyping of these aliens. Not all Krogan are brutes, not all Salarians are nerds. That sort of thing. But really, its just bad, no matter how you look at it. I could bare it better except for the idiotic ammo cries. Even when I have an Equalizer that doesn't need ammo, and I haven't fired a shot with it. WTF. The explanation that it makes the player call out for ammo when any player runs low makes sense, and points yet again to how unfinished this game is. Am i the only one that keeps assuming that this is a bug, rather than design?

There are comical (yet in character) lines like the Vorcha's BIG MASHEEEENNNAnd there are the opposite spectrum bad ones like Cover your brain! I enjoy the kit very much but ... yeah As far as Andromeda goes, I haven't heard corny lines from the havoc trooper (yet). IMHO she seems the most professional whilst on field. PS. The Krogan Engineer is funny! This place sucks!

I sincerely believe that a good amount of writing in multiplayer, both voice and text, was done by the work experience high school student and/or intern to save time.
I think the written character descriptions take the cake though, my personal favourites being the asari adept (enjoys reading, long walks on the beach, and crowd control) and hf infiltrator (lost her husband and child so she joined apex to do some good COUGH cliche COUGH).

Playing vorcha on me3 really highlighted how bad the voice acting in mea, vorcha sound hilarious in 3 and really ''in character''. Goes for most aliens in 3. Meanwhile in mea aliens sound like human weirdos, no alien twist to the voices and corny lines. Agreed. It's not just the stupid nonsensical lines, but voice acting adds theming and (yes, yes) immersion. It gives the kits and races character and adds to the fun (or did in ME3MP). You got a sense that vorcha were a bit weasely but psycho, Krogan enjoyed fighting, and every Batarian was called "Jim"... It was a way to differentiate kits stylistically, and get the player into the mindset of the kit. And really if they still have artists and voiceactors lying about, it shouldn't take away from coding and balance changes. Different teams and all that.

"Coolio!" Yep. The HMI sounds like he was voiced by Meer. Hard to parse "coolio!" coming from Shep/Vorchas/Jellyfish. Wouldn't sound much better from anyone else though.

"These ones are broken, get me some more!" - I think it's the KroEngi at end of wave, by far the best. Krogineer 'these are broken' is also cool. This quote actually comes from the Krogan Mercenary, one of the better voice-acted characters, along with the Havoc Trooper. The Krogan Engineer is the very worst, in my book. As someone pointed out, she sounds like a frat boy. "Sweet!" "Awesome job!" Makes no damn sense.

Yes it is totally awful, say what you will about DAIMP but they actually had good hearable voices and some pretty good phrases even if they were uttered too often. The Krogan female voices especially are pure and utter garbage, teenage mutant ninja krogans.

DAIMP voice acting was equally cringe-worthy.
Sometime between ME1 and everything else Bioware has ever done they forgot how to write actual sci-fi dialogue.

The only decent one is the asari adept. "Get your butts gone!". Salarians...wtf? They really sound mentally challenged. And the shields-down taunts..Fuck me "how are my shields down?", "not my shields!", "I thought I fixed that!"... Seriously, who came up with these?
ps: Revive... krogan: "appreciate it!". No MP devs every played the trilogy? Where exactly a krogan would say anything remotely stupid? I think you hit the nail on the head. None of these dipshits played the trilogy. There is no fixing the game BC they just do not get it. They can't understand what's wrong because they never got what was right with the previous game.
