Mass Effect: Creating The Voice Of Legion



Ever wondered how Legion's voice evolved out of the robotic clicks and buzzes of a normal geth? Mass Effect 3 audio lead Rob Blake walks us through the process in this behind-the-scenes video.

  • Legion was my favorite character in ME2, and I just really want him in my party next time around. Or better yet, give me an all Geth team. That would make my day.
  • Awesome, I still wonder how they created the original clicks for the Geth and why they stuck with it.

    Legion was probably one of my most favorite characters of Mass Effect 2.

  • I was most intrigued by Legion, and I think he ranks up there as my favorite ME2 character. I loved his voice and mannerisms. But, I still didn't use him in my party.
  • Legion is epic!!!!

  • very cool. That's a lot of work for just one line. Also, did anyone see the pause menu above his head, looks a little more streamlined.
  • Yes, that is WAY cool! Talented folks over there!

  • Very nice. I didn't even realize how Legion's voice was a mixture of humanly intonations and the original geth voice. It just shows how much detail BioWare really is putting into this game with just voices alone.

  • That was interesting. It's amazing to think about all the work that goes into video games that normal gamers never even think about.

  • Awesome. He was in steady rotation in my party. I hope there are more features like this all month. I don't think I want any story/too much new stuff all month.

  • I'm still wondering who would win in a fight: HK-47 or Legion.
  • this was really cool.  I had no idea so much work went into the voices of characters.  Legion was one of my favorites too.

  • I accidentally handed Legion over to Cerberus on my second playthrough, not realizing I couldn't change my mind.
  • Legion is awesome. He made the ultimate sacrifice for me on the first play-through, but he made it out alive on the second time around, so I'm really looking forward to what they do with him in ME3.

  • Legion is my favorite character, along with Garrus. I hope that both are back in 3 and can be squad mates. I would love to get geth to help me defeat the reapers. Ironic no. I just wonder if I would have to choose Legion and the Geth or Tali and the Quarians?
  • Awesome, I would have never guessed how complex it was to get the voice right and it's nice to see how much work bioware puts into little details such as this.  Legion was by far my favorite new character in ME2, I just wish he wasn't introduced so late in the game though.  Hopefully he is a permanent part member in ME3.

  • Pretty interesting, Legion was one of my favorite characters in ME2

  • they wouldn't have done this now unless legion is in ME3

  • they wouldn't have done this now unless legion is in ME3
  • All audio guys has an incredible lack of hair for some reason.

  • EDIT: Darn double-post...
