Yeah I'll be honest, it all sounded... Well you know how Barrett is, as they say, "What Japanese people think Black people are like"? Well it's that effect, but with Vega, and I don't know who did the thinking.

What I don't understand is more basic than that.
In Mass Effect, humanity has ceased to have racial/national wedges separating them - everyone is a hodgepodge of ethnic makeup, to the point that blonde as a natural haircolor is an extreme rarity.
Why, then, would someone need to have an overtly Hispanic name/background/way of behaving (you know what I mean Carla so don't you start!)? Or Japanese, in the case of Kasumi? What does it even matter? Humanity is humanity.

I can understand how humans, at the very least, have their accents because they're from all different parts of the planet. But yeah, agreed about James. I'm going through my Insanity run and cringe when I hear him go on a Spanglish rant. It's so forced and not so natural.

I agree, but then we'd have to consider that somehow 99.9% of humans in the galaxy have an American accent.
I'll bet a lot of people couldn't name all the characters Claudia Black plays!

I'm liking the build up to this Jack person, every seems to be feared o' their arse of them 
Also, Prisoner 780. Feck you for seeming nice. And then coming out with "Oh I just killed 20 people and blew up this one place, pretty small time."
Yeah....small time mass murder...¬_¬

I said most people, not PhDs in Claudiology!
You tell me which University gives a PhD in that and I'll enroll there immediately.
I like you.

Get ready for the biggest offender of cutscene power to the max in that game.

Yup, I now see why everyone is afraid of Jack 
I think I'm going to like her, she reminds me of Jane from The Walking Dead

I like the idea of a Shepard and Tali romance, but I've never done it myself since I normally play as a female. In the meantime, I ship Talibrations so hard. And it must be a sign because I typed the word in and didn't even get the red line when I spell something wrong.
