How do you cast Natalie Dormer in a role and then make her a secondary character with no romance subplot? She was a cool character, but severely underutilized.
I agree about her dumb hair, but can't say I'm with ya on the rest. She just annoyed me, first being pissy about not getting to be pathfinder and seemingly having little faith in Ryder, then going on and on all the time about her beloved Asari and how great her Asari training was.
I don't know, maintaining a professional boundary to patients is a vital for medical professionals. Not that ME really cares about things like that. Good old Sheppy spared no time getting intimate with his subordinates which would never be allowed in proper militaries, especially not on ships.
I'm gonna give Andromeda another try after me just clocking Legendary Edition! Plus Natalie Dormer is fine as..... and has one of the nicest voices gifted to a Daughter of Eve
Although my son did eventually hanged himself in the bathroom of a gas station, the unfortunate reality of Mass Effect: Andromeda is that it'll be around, forever, it'll never go away, it can never be undone.
Did this remind anyone else of the scenes of Steven Toast from "Toast of London" doing voice over work? Made me laugh so hard! I kept expecting Clem Fandango to chime in at some point. XD
If only Natalie's popularity was in direct correlation with how interesting the main story is. But I guess saying "We have Natalie Dormer in our game" sells more than saying "We have complex and interesting characters and an engaging story like we did in DA: Origins"
I don't know how it was before the patch but I absolutely love this game. Bought it maybe 4 days ago and now it's the only game I play. The faces are still kind of off but that doesn't stop it from being a good game. Overall the storyline is good and I haven't experienced any game breaking bugs yet.
You should have made her a squadmate..then maybe one of them would actually be interesting..you guys wasted good talent...and "the saddest thing in life is wasted talent"
Lexi is indeed more interesting than the squadmates all combined... even Vetra could've been done better. Peebee was just annoying at times. -.- Just a random Asari teenager with angst issues, because of her playmate ex.
0:28 Everything that went wrong with Mass Effects VO: "Who is saying that? And why?" That should never happen! You are supposed to have a script, know what other characters say before and after that. You can't work like that!
it was actually a good idea NOT to make her a romance option. could've made her more involved though, or maybe a romance that can never happen if others preferred. maybe like samara
All this voice acting talent and she doesn't even make it into the main cast list, opting instead for a B-list of actors for such roles. I mean she didn't even get a unique character model she is generic Asari face number 1...
people need to jump off the animation bashing bandwagon,how many of you grew up on gta san andreas or older games?yea the animations are not that great but they are not that bad either..stop exaggerating everything,like the red wedding in game of thrones,there are movies out there with much more shocking scenes..
I agree with you with remember GTA: SA was in 2004, and it wasn't had any powerful engine and tech right now, but then again, just enjoyed the plot though..
I don`t think you get it. GTA animations were appropirate for its time and even if Bioware changed their engine since ME3, DAI uses frostbite aswell and doesnt have the same problems.
It's the cryo freezing. Basically acts like botox for your entire body for several years after thawing. You just wait and see! In the next game (a few years in the future) everyone will be back to normal!
Real quick.......video game companies, No one has EEEEEVER brought a video game because a celebrity is in it....so you just wasted a whole bunch of money
She has an amazing voice, and it doesn't hurt that many of us have watched her on Game of Thrones. *steps up on a soap box* Now, if only the male Ryder didn't whine all the time. The killer, is that no matter what option you pick in the conversation tree, he still whines, and the option you thought you chose, seems the same as the other options. A 180 from the male Shepard voice. It just grates on my nerves every time he speaks. Compound that, with the female Ryder being homely at best, and I have a hard time playing as either. Why on earth would I want to look at an ugly person while I play this game? Bioware, you're idiots. I was expecting an exemplary game, after the terrible ending to ME3, but instead, got this. Whoever was responsible for this disappointing game, should be fired.
Dear EA; please stick to what youre good at - mass producing games for the sports genre with little to no difference every year - and please take your profit hungry hands off real art. For years now you've bought companies just to ruin their franchises for the sake of mass production and "profit", pushing games early just to ruin them. Its about time you learn! You're a grown up games company now. Your try-and-fail teenage years is behind you! I honestly dont care if you own Bioware and want some profit off their revenue (even tho thats sad in itself), but please - PLEASE - stop involving yourself in things you dont know - real computer games art. Let Bioware do their thing, and keep making epic games - even though it takes longer to make and needs more time to finish and polish than the average FIFA game. Just. Stop. It. Thanks.
The only thing not buying will change is that they will kill off the franchise entirely. So they still would have milked it to death, death just came sooner.
+Matty Stitt The problem here is obvious. You're so poor that you're in denial, it's the only new game you're going to get in a long time so you've tricked your little brain in to thinking "it's soo gooood!".
If Andromeda just let me bang Keri, another pathfinder, an Angara, or Lexi I would have been able to overlook the stupid open world design and terrible animations as well as dialogue at points.
Wish Lexi was waaaaay more involved.
we'll bang, okay?
Say what you want about bugs, glitches and facial animations; the only dissapointment of this game is that I couldn't bang Lexi.
This.
EXACTLY FINALLY SOMEONE :D
BlazerManiacNumber96 Maybe in the second or third part of the new trilogy :)
finding this out here for the first time. i might actually stop playing.
dem expectations must have been really low if you thought the story/writing was good.
How do you cast Natalie Dormer in a role and then make her a secondary character with no romance subplot? She was a cool character, but severely underutilized.
Brian Rewis because she doesn’t fit a check box that a certain audience is demanding that’s why.
I want that N7 hoodie.
MakoRuu It’s a good heavy one.
Tried so hard to smash Lexi...
Right?!?! best option on the ship!
uh no best option on the tempest was cora
I agree about her dumb hair, but can't say I'm with ya on the rest. She just annoyed me, first being pissy about not getting to be pathfinder and seemingly having little faith in Ryder, then going on and on all the time about her beloved Asari and how great her Asari training was.
It never occurred to me that the words Unicron and unicorn are so similar. Mind blown.
Lol yeah, I don't even bother correcting people when they call me a unicorn anymore.
She did a great job. Hope she does more voice work.
Lexi would definitely have been a good romance option.
I don't know, maintaining a professional boundary to patients is a vital for medical professionals.
Not that ME really cares about things like that. Good old Sheppy spared no time getting intimate with his subordinates which would never be allowed in proper militaries, especially not on ships.
Dasspapirfly Yeah, but you know when it was all over she went and banged the brains out of that old Krogan dude.
The only woman in Andromeda I wanna romance, and yet I cant. :(
She is SO ADORABLE.
I'm gonna give Andromeda another try after me just clocking Legendary Edition! Plus Natalie Dormer is fine as..... and has one of the nicest voices gifted to a Daughter of Eve
She's cute af.
There are enough outtakes from the in game animations
Dr Lexi is a great character
After playing the game, i think that Lexi had the best lipsync and lip animations that really matched Natalie Dormer's accent. Quite nice actually. :D
sorry, but my face is tired.
She should've voiced a squadmate or FemRyder.
Maybe they'll give Lexi a bigger role in potential sequels.
I like how to outtakes show the voice acting team questioning how dumb the dialog sounds
Oh she has facial expressions! They just didnt bother putting those in the game.
As a Brit, I thought "I'm sure that should be calorific" when I heard it in-game; glad I'm not the only one!
She has such a lovely laugh.
My face is tired...
Not even the right character, idiot.
PlasmaFLOW fan boy chill
TRIGGERED
PlasmaFLOW TRIGGERED
hello, is this the future?
When she knocked me back i picked Suvi. I'll come running to that Asari putang in a second though
I clicked on this to see what quality looks like, and why it wasn't in the game.
0:19 Mmf, that smirk.
Whats that type of collar on the hoodie called?
she's such a gem
i was so sad when I found out lexi wasnt a romance option.
"Captured in engine. Representative of game experience." Somehow I find this statement on the end screen highly unlikely to be true.
Basically every promo video for the game had that on it haha.
The whole game was an outtake
The whole game was an outtake.
Graphics are pretty good. Dormer looks pretty realististic here.
Mass Effect: Andromeda was the most disappointing thing since my son.
CloudyMemory he must be bad.
Although my son did eventually hanged himself in the bathroom of a gas station, the unfortunate reality of Mass Effect: Andromeda is that it'll be around, forever, it'll never go away, it can never be undone.
I'd rather hear 'calorific' than 'my face is tired!"
Where can I get an n7 hoodie
Did this remind anyone else of the scenes of Steven Toast from "Toast of London" doing voice over work? Made me laugh so hard! I kept expecting Clem Fandango to chime in at some point. XD
She has gorgeous hair... Its captivating
Been off the Mass Effect wagon for a while but any game with a GoT actor will spark my interest.
She survive the explosion of that cathedral in King's Landing?!
If only Natalie's popularity was in direct correlation with how interesting the main story is. But I guess saying "We have Natalie Dormer in our game" sells more than saying "We have complex and interesting characters and an engaging story like we did in DA: Origins"
Has the patch actually sorted anything out?
I don't know how it was before the patch but I absolutely love this game. Bought it maybe 4 days ago and now it's the only game I play. The faces are still kind of off but that doesn't stop it from being a good game. Overall the storyline is good and I haven't experienced any game breaking bugs yet.
How can you have a character voiced by Natalie Dormer and not have her be a romance option!?!? At least we have the ugly android and Shrek..... 4\10
ugly android?
(haven't played the game yet.)
Cora.
seriously a robot?
like edi?
I dont know if she is actually a robot, i haven't played the shitfest either. But if you watch some videos of her you'll get the point.
ah..........
You should have made her a squadmate..then maybe one of them would actually be interesting..you guys wasted good talent...and "the saddest thing in life is wasted talent"
Anthony Janz the squad mates are very interesting idk what you mean
William Rob I would love to hear how these characters with no personality or good backstory are interesting...enlighten me
William Rob Yeah, Drack and Peebee were great. Only one I didn't like was Liam.
Anthony Janz why waste time when anything I say you'll disregard
Lexi is indeed more interesting than the squadmates all combined... even Vetra could've been done better. Peebee was just annoying at times. -.- Just a random Asari teenager with angst issues, because of her playmate ex.
Strike one was not being able to bang Lexi.
For the other 99 strikes just watch Crowbat`s video.
"I'm Ron Burgundy?"
Why was she not available? So sad.
Not even Natalie Dormer can save this disaster
I am still wondering why they didn't use Natalie Dormer's face for Lexi and gave featureless face every Asari in Andromeda has...
0:28 Everything that went wrong with Mass Effects VO: "Who is saying that? And why?" That should never happen! You are supposed to have a script, know what other characters say before and after that. You can't work like that!
She did a great job. Shame her part wasn't bigger. I imagine it's because she was too expensive, but still
lol the shoes is funny.
is she wearing a N7 coat?
The outtakes are better than the game lol
I think it's funny - she's wearing an N7 sweatshirt.
they aren't milking this at all, "the rest sucks but we got natalie dormer!!!!"
man I really wish Lexi's face was the face cap of Natalie Dormer and she's also romance-able.
I take it she didn't read the script before accepting this job.
Her death, in GoT, was pathetic. You can clearly see in her face she was upset and not wanting to go leave the show yet during her final scene.
So this is where most of the money when for this game well thank god they spent it wisely
Oh my god.... who's her character?
it was actually a good idea NOT to make her a romance option. could've made her more involved though, or maybe a romance that can never happen if others preferred. maybe like samara
subscribed
I guess all of us tried our best to smash Lexi.
Dr.Lexi has a hUge crush on Drack.
They need to patch it in to make her a romance option.
Is it just me or does anyone else know her from The series Elementary?
Adoreable :)
I demand a Lexi romance damnit!
Less celebrity voice actors and more budget towards development.
Shame they didn't use Nat as an actual main character...
powerful under solid genius plan murder assistant prisoner.
Why couldn't they put her face in the game?! lol
0:47 Wutface Heeeelp!
can she be more serious at work? =\
the only good voice actor in the game
You know what they say about women in charge.
Drack sounded awesome
Sure
I KNEW I HEARD THAT VOICE BEFORE
Can you romance her?
no :-(
All this voice acting talent and she doesn't even make it into the main cast list, opting instead for a B-list of actors for such roles. I mean she didn't even get a unique character model she is generic Asari face number 1...
people need to jump off the animation bashing bandwagon,how many of you grew up on gta san andreas or older games?yea the animations are not that great but they are not that bad either..stop exaggerating everything,like the red wedding in game of thrones,there are movies out there with much more shocking scenes..
But all the cool edgy people are bashing the animations, how can I get more nerd street cred if I don't beat the dead horse too?
I agree with you with remember GTA: SA was in 2004, and it wasn't had any powerful engine and tech right now, but then again, just enjoyed the plot though..
I don`t think you get it. GTA animations were appropirate for its time and even if Bioware changed their engine since ME3, DAI uses frostbite aswell and doesnt have the same problems.
DAO uses eclipse engine.... Inquisition used Frostbite.
I`m an idiot. I meant dragon age inquisition, not origins.
Natalie Dormer is a fox
Obit of a shame that it looks like all the major characters had bad plastic surgery ;) was my bet for game of the year before the pre release stuff
ShadowPenguin - Skyrim Builds I'm enjoying it thus far but the characters don't look very interesting
It's the cryo freezing. Basically acts like botox for your entire body for several years after thawing. You just wait and see! In the next game (a few years in the future) everyone will be back to normal!
Lexi > Dr. Chakwas.
she's cute
They dragged her into this.
Natalie Dormer is hot!
poor natalie....
you could have hired anyone for this lol she doesn't bring much to the table for voice acting..
doesn't make game better...
Real quick.......video game companies, No one has EEEEEVER brought a video game because a celebrity is in it....so you just wasted a whole bunch of money
She has an amazing voice, and it doesn't hurt that many of us have watched her on Game of Thrones. *steps up on a soap box* Now, if only the male Ryder didn't whine all the time. The killer, is that no matter what option you pick in the conversation tree, he still whines, and the option you thought you chose, seems the same as the other options. A 180 from the male Shepard voice. It just grates on my nerves every time he speaks. Compound that, with the female Ryder being homely at best, and I have a hard time playing as either. Why on earth would I want to look at an ugly person while I play this game? Bioware, you're idiots. I was expecting an exemplary game, after the terrible ending to ME3, but instead, got this. Whoever was responsible for this disappointing game, should be fired.
Maleshep voice was not great, and you clearly didn't play with facial options enough.
Her animations are pretty fineeeeeeee hehehe

Natalie Dormer is awesome, but the game still sucks.
That's why the voice acting was so bad, they didn't properly know the situation their characters were in
EA stop milking franchises to death
you dont have to buy it. stop bitching. it wont change anything.
yeah pretty sick of the whiners. It's far from being the best mass effect but it's still pretty good.
The only thing not buying will change is that they will kill off the franchise entirely. So they still would have milked it to death, death just came sooner.
There are so many more stories to tell in the mass effect universe, far from milked O.o
Lamar saberwolf anywhere!
I thought the entire game was an outtake? Oh.
ShieldShinto I thought the game was really good guess you are another sheep who hasn't even played it.
Matty Stitt Nah I bought it, sold it 2 days later.
+Matty Stitt The problem here is obvious. You're so poor that you're in denial, it's the only new game you're going to get in a long time so you've tricked your little brain in to thinking "it's soo gooood!".
Benjamin Shultz lol if you think so mate.
ShieldShinto 2 days enough time to make a decision on a game. good to know the idiots I'm dealing with here. kk
Totally wasted Natalie's talents on this absolute turkey of a game.
No wonder I enjoy this game, because it tastes sweet as turkey meat
Turkey of a role too, they couldnt think to put her in a more important part than 'ship doctor'? Not even a temp member of your crew?! Wasted indeed.
I wish I could of been there and smell her feet when she took her shoes off.
If Andromeda just let me bang Keri, another pathfinder, an Angara, or Lexi I would have been able to overlook the stupid open world design and terrible animations as well as dialogue at points.
Still can't even bring myself to torrent this trash, literally no interest
