Legion and Jack are two of my favorite characters in ME2, and I really hope that they, and the rest of the squad, will return as crew of the SR-2 in ME3.
Also, you had some of the best lines in the game, and you delivered them perfectly (… There was a Hole…), and that contributed to make Legion one of the best characters ever. EVER. (OF ALL TIME!) Thank you for making the game even more memorable, and I hope you (And Legion) return in even greater capacity in Mass Effect 3.

I have no idea who you are, either… No worries, if I thought I was well known, I'd just twitter my inane thoughts and diet tips!

Thanks for the kind words. My fingers are crossed I'll be in ME3, as well.

I have no idea who you are (appologies). But I just finished Mass Effect 2 for the second time and I took Legion with me on every mission possible and after beating the game took them for a trip around the galaxy. And I tried to fish out every line Legion has to say about anything whatsoever.

I simply LOVE that kind, intelligent and wise machine(s). In fact I'm sitting in front computer right now reloading save games and talking to Legion again.

Half of my thanks will go to the writers of cause but the other half is to you.
I wish I could get Legion on my team earlier in the game, wish to hug him, dance with him and exonerate their people before the Council (Hope Mass Effect 3 will provide)

Thanks for your part in bringing to life such a wonderful creature.

Hear you in Mass Effect 3

Hey D.C.!

Yes! You wanted to hug Legion! That's one of the best compliments!

Thank you, Mike. And best wished on your pursuit. It's hard, but it doesn't matter if it comes from a place of passion. Perseverance is the key…

Wow. Thank you Roger! Though HAL will always be the apex of excellent AI voice over!

I look forward to finding time to dive into it and will avoid romance at all costs!

I'll play nice with for you D.C!

I beath the first Mass Effect and wasn't drawn into like with other games, so I had almost decided not to get the second one. Then I heard you voiced a playable character, so I said what the hell. At least their casting good for this game.

I bought the game and was not disappointed. He was bad ass. You get to voice all the cool characters. The first time you run into him and he snipes that guy behind your character I was like "oh yeah he's staying in my party." I like the dialog with him and thought it was funny he referred to your character as Shepard Commander. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but there was something soft about his character. It made me want to hug him and not hate the Geth.

I remember he died on my sister's file It was so sad!! I was mad at her, cause she didn't level him up! He owned ass at the end on mind though. He succeeded at every mission I gave him.

Just finally had my first run in with Legion this morning. Excellent work, D.C.! The voice talent in this game is top notch, and was part of recent events that have inspired me to dust off the shelved dream of pursuing voice/theatre/film/tv work professionally. Which lead to a google search of voice demos to glean from example while I attempt to assemble my own, very rough first effort… which lead me to your site! Kismet, or just really solid SEO?

While I'm not as spry at 28 as I was 10 years ago and have accrued quite a few more responsibilities along the way, I'm hoping I can make a solid go at it and finally get back to the goal of living my passions. Thank you for your great work, as well as keeping this insightful and humorous blog! I'll be checking in regularly, and as I go over your body of work I realize I've been admiring your talent for quite some time. So know, that when in need I'll be summoning your powers as well as my other long time favorite, Cam Clarke.

Next to Tali (Liz Sroka) was in both ME1 and ME2 and will be in ME3,
Legion is one of my favourite characters and I suspect he'll be back in ME3 with maybe even more dialog.

I truly hope you get the time to play Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, my advise is to avoid any romance in ME1 and pursue Tali in ME2. In any case exhausting all dialog options with Tali (and Legion) reveals a lot of the Geth background.

It is odd, but Legion feels more "human" than some of the human characters in the games, very subtle emotions in Legion, a cold robotic tone would have ruined the character, so would a too human voice. You managed to find just the right balance.
You have easily surpassed HAL, nice work.

Great job on Legion! ME2 is a good game made great by wonderful voice acting. Given you can carry your characters between games (this is part two of a three part trilogy), I suspect you'll be voicing him again. It's interesting that a good voice talent paired with a good director can allow natural-sounding dialog despite not having real-time interaction with the other voice actors. I've always been fascinated with that dynamic in animated features. Once again…great work on Legion and I'm looking forward to your next work.
