Mass Effect: A Disappointing Story
So I have Mass Effect for awhile now and I made my main file. I've played to level 25 and have gotten quite used to that character and decided to make another for variety. This time I chose War Hero, Spacer, and for the facile profile. When I was going through the presets I came upon a face that looked a lot like Lenin, so I made a few adaptations and he his as close to looking like Vladimir Lenin as possible in Mass Effect.
I started the game, and was pretty excited about who I had made. A few minutes later I heard his voice, and it was exactly the same. I know I couldn't expect that they would change it but I had forgotten that fact. Then I realize that I had never heard Lenin before.
I go onto the internet, search for an audio file of one of Lenin's speeches. I hear it and it is nothing like what I had built up Lenin's voice to be. I was disappointed twice in short order.

That Magnum hadn't heard what Lenin sounds like? because 99% of Americans (westerners too, if he isn't an American) had never heard Vladimir Ilyich speak.
or do you dobt that Mass Effect doen't sound Like Lenin or any single Lenin impersonator on TV or radio? it's true!
or do you doubt that one can make a character that looks like Lenin? According to the story one only has to be able to make the character look as much like Vlady as he is able. and he can do that by definition.
Also, should I play Mass Effect (PC) until Fallout 3 or another single-player RPG comes out? More specifically, is Mass Effect a true RPG? Or it it just a "fighting" game (the great Burning Wheel / D&D rift)?
Man, I was pissed when my guy didn't sound like Gandhi, but I didn't go to the Internet! No sir!
Can I Sage this thread? Perhaps request a Sink? I mean come on, what the hell is this topic about? So Magnum_Opus was disappointed that the game did not have different voices for the main character, NO WAI! He never heard Lenin's voice before and it was nothing like he had thought it to be, SO WHAT?!
I had imagined him to have this striking, sharp, empowered voice, probably composed from the voice of Hitler and other foreign leaders from that era that I've heard during various historical movies. When I heard an audio file of Lenin's speech given before the October Revolution, it was disappointing. He might have been more inspiring in life, I couldn't tell, probably because I didn't know what he was saying and/or the quality of the audio wasn't that good. Nevertheless, he did not strike me as inspiring.
Thread over.
