On Mass Effect voice acting

I've said this before. I'm sure I'll say this a thousand times. It's never gotten any less true: Jennifer Hale's voice acting outclasses Mark Meer's by a ridiculous amount.

Meer sounds like a dudebro who's about a step away from whining, while Hale actually sounds like a badass, no-nonsense soldier.

Hale's delivery is much more nuanced -- you can actually hear emotion in her voice. Compare Hale's "Two years? I was gone that long?" to Meer's, or the "I left a friend to die that day, and I didn't do it lightly" speech.

I am not looking forward to spending thirty hours with my maleShep. I'm really not. But I want an Ashley romance for ME3 and I haven't played a soldier yet.

Jennifer Hale is phenomenal as Shepard. Far as I'm concerned, she is Shepard.
