  • We're Commander Shepard and these are our favorite lines on the Citadel. To celebrate N7 Day, Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer join us to break down their favourite Commander Shepard lines from the Mass Effect trilogy.
    Happy N7 Day! Every year, Mass Effect developer BioWare celebrates its beloved sci-fi trilogy on November 7, and this year we're joined by both Commander Shepards to break down the most iconic lines from the games.
    Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer voice female and male Commander Shepard respectively, and over the years, have delivered some of the most iconic lines in gaming. From "I should go" to "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel," Jennifer and Mark react to the games after all these years, reveal what it was like to be in the recording booth, and whether they thought the lines would become as infamous as they did.
    Earlier this year, a remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, launched on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. In our review, Jordan Ramée gave it an 8/10, praising its visual updates and changes to the original Mass Effect to modernize its controls.

      The only thing good about that dlc was the party and "dates" with each crew member, the story for it was cringy, Shepard fighting their clone.
      When people talk about how good that dlc is, it's always about the party and the interactions with everyone. I've never really seen anyone comment on how good the story was before the party. To me, it was meh, worse part of the dlc. After that, great.

      People don't like Kaidan much, and he's hardly my favourite character either, but the parallel conversation with him hit me really hard, less of a best friends (or lovers) moment and more just a clear-eyed appreciation of mortality. It's something like
      Shepard: "We're old soldiers, Kaidan. We know the score."
      Kaidan: "... yeah. We know the score."
      It's *perfectly* delivered.

    There's a mod that lets you find a huge pile of spectre issue armor and weapons laid out in the Spectre outpost for you to pick up and Shepard says 'and this is my favorite store on the citadel' when she sees it. It's hilarious. Because the note implies you're supposed to share with Kaiden/Ashley and Shepard just grabs it all like a greedy gut!

    i live in a patriarchal sexist and very conservative country (as most of us do), so I've been raised thinking that as a female I can never be strong or good enough, it was a subconscious thing even. I was a young girl when I decided to try out mass effect and I actually had the second game. I wasn't sure if I would like the game enough, so I didn't bother strarting from the first one. When I was creating my character I already knew Shepard was a spaceship captain and a soldier who is supposed to save lives and be a hero, so I thought of course I'm gonna play male Shepard, there is no way woman can fit that role. But as hard as I was trying to customize my male Shepard I couldn't make him look alive or stand out to me as a character that I can sympathise to. So I decided, maybe I just peek a little to see what playing female Shepard looks like? I was really curious. The second I heard her voice when she was evacuating the crew and how she was yelling at Joker to leave the ship... I fell in love with that voice. She sounded SO convinsing and confident, she sounded like a real leader. I immideatly closed the game to start from the first one, because I already knew I wanted to play as a female Shepard from the very beginning, I wanted to go through all the adventures with her. I played all three games and as I was watching Shepard be a strong soldier and a hero, I was growing up and changing as a person too. She was my role model and I learned that being a woman is not my weakness, despite the lack of representation back then. I know that I would've learnt that eventually, but it was Jenn Hale's Shepard's influence. I love her so much, I can literally recognize her voice anywhere. That's how she brought a character to life and how that character then inspired at least one insecure little girl. and for that I'm very thankful :)

    • @TheMsLourdes
      @TheMsLourdes 2 роки тому +2

      That brought a tear to my eye.. and probably to Jenn's because she has been known to read these things. Honestly, I agree with your sentiment and I can pick her voice out in every show, 'There's this character, that one, Commander Shepard and the other character over there'.
      Still, we saved the Galaxy with that voice in our heads.. showing women and girls a strong woman we can look up to and how to get the job done.

      My favorite line requires context. During the firing line scene in the Citadel DLC, any one of the characters can say a line after they’re done shooting; if Javik say the line he says, “What primitives lack in accuracy, they make up for in ammunition.” What makes this line hilarious, however, is that the scene is an in-engine cutscene, and I guess they messed up Javik’s orientation because while everyone else is shooting the mercenaries, he’s dumping all three rounds from his shotgun into the wall about six inches away from him; you can even see the bullet holes in the wall while he’s saying his line.
