I like Legion, I never felt bad about killing Geth in ME1. But after meeting him/her/it/they (what ever) I was kinda worried, then Legion told about those Geth being heretics. Effectively religious fanatics and put my mind at ease XD
It's a shame, I think in ME2 Bioware didn't fully predict how popular Legion would be, which was why he comes so late and you spend so little time with him (if you want the perfect ending at least and want to save the entire crew). I think they rectified that very in well in the third
Douglas Aranda I'm aware but it doesn't really fit the plot. I know they initially intended you to be rebuilt by the geth not cerberus and thats why legion was with you from the start, but the story they went with doesn't fit with Legion following you around the whole game.
Sam Poncho Indeed man, either way it was an awesome game that I'm glad I spent my money on, but I did love Legion, his exclusivity made him even more interesting, the N7 armour was a coup, hahaha!
It's indeed a goddamn shame that you'll hafta go hit the Collector base just as soon as you helped they...him...it...whatever, hit the heretics station, unless you're willing to see your whole non-squad crew die just to get him to go on missions with you. i'd have loved to know this particular congregation of Geth units better.
"Shepard Commander". One of my favourite lines of the game. Said in that cyber-modulated voice, it sounds much cooler than "Commander Shepard". Commander Shepard: the only man who can command the respect of humans and toasters alike.
Might be 8 years old but this is the only mention I've seen of this and omg yes it sounds sooo much better the way he says it also Legions noticeable humanity in his voice when he says it 💙 he sounds all nervous and on edge
I think there went lots of work into nearly every sound in the game you hear. There might be samples, but in the end to make it sound how it sounds in the final product requires a lot of soundengineering and mastering. And it's not only the sound. Video games are a form of art in itself, at least some of them. Maybe the artistic aspect gets some recognition one day.
What happened with Harbinger? Don't get me wrong, he's menacing, but...Sovereign, my god Sovereign. His voice was like a hellish concerto. Dignified and terrifying. I still remember my first playthrough on Virmire, it was epic. Never smiled so much just for a voice. So good. On the other hand, Harbinger was average. Still good, however it felt...interchangeable.
true Sovereign voice was awesome i'am almost ashamed to say that he sounds more evil than Megatron and he is a tyrannical megalomaniac robot with a nuclear canon on his arm you can't get more evil than that
Legion was never a companion or a friend for me. I took him at face value that he was just the Avatar of however many geth ai, so all his actions reflected on his species rather than an individual. But at the end, before he died, he became one of my best friends. Hopefully his personality infected other Geth AI in the transfer so they will retain some of his charecteristics. RIP Legion, Avatar of the Geth.
By the end of ME3, Legion's no longer an avatar, but a single individual. his sacrifice have at least, allowed some of his kind to evolve into his kind of intelligence. unfortunately though, that kinda also means that some of the geth are actually both hardware & software now. they can't just depart the platform they're in & get themselves uploaded elsewhere & still remain as what they are.
the "personality" gestalt of the processes installed on a platform always differed IIRC, the same sets of processes would result in different personalities if installed on different platforms. As to whether they lost the ability to platform-swap, I don't think we ever got an answer.

@@FalconWindblader He was an individual already at the moment of capture. The idea of being an "infiltration unit" means he's almost offline. "Why is there a piece of N7 armor" - "there was a hole" - "why not fix it with something else" - "no data available"
I loved the geth !! First time I saw them was in mass effect one. I remember thinking that I had not seen robots like these before. They simply took my breath away. I thought not only are they technological the most advanced artificial life forms but incredibly beautiful. I almost immediately thought created in the quarians own image...I was ihooked. Played through mass effect one because of them. At the time of mass effect one I had only heard rumours about this game didn't even see pictures. I was lucky enough to purchase mass effect one and 2 together thinking if I didn't like it I could give these games away to someone else. It took two and a half days to finish both games. Played straight through which I had never ever done before. I could never thank bioware enough for the most fantastic vacation I ever had.
The line he played as the example of legion's final post processing, and then stopped for "spoiler" reasons, was actually already a huge reveal of what was to come with the geth. Too perfect 3:50
So amazing, that clicky geth noise is so unique and i think they struck the right balance when creating Legions voice (my fav character)........thx for sharing.
Loved Legion. I love the bit when Shepard asks where he got the N7 armor and why he was using it, and Legion just looks at him and sort of shrugs. It was a wonderfully human moment.
I was very surprised the first time I met Legion, I didn't think I would get a Geth companion. And I was wondering if I missed a companions as there was still an empty slot. XD Love Legion's "no data available". So adorable and makes them pretty much Shepard's main fanbot =3 Legion and Tali are the most adorable characters in the game! =3
If I ever loose my voice I hope I can get a vocaliser with a Legion option. Then comes wearing a Geth cosplay for the rest of my life. This would be very acceptable.
Did you know that there are a lot of random actions your crew can preform... Like Garrus and Tali chatting about elevator talks, Joker saying "Pew! Pew!" in the cockpit, etc.
Never thought about it before, but all the species need different voice processing. Probably even fine-tuning for every voice-actor as well, since their voices can interact differently with a process that worked for another voice-actor. Especially in ME2 and 3 you get lots of different aliens, even as companions. I guess the audio engineers didn't get bored during the making of these games.
there are a variety of description for a game "designer" you need a group the artist, programmer, and many more. the programmer is the one that codes in everything that lets the game be a game, like a code to let the pause menu open when you press the button.
The Mass Effect 3 one is darker blue and the selected options are red, unlike ME1's orange, plus it looks less square and a lot smoother. But in the video Journal is the one that's highlighted red ;)
The hole is not a structure weakness nor did it hamper him in any way. Remember, Geth are software and not hardware. As long as the hardware works, then there is no reason to repair it further since the hardware servers the Geth and not part of the Geth. Legion is a collection of sentient programs that had a mission and chose that body to do the mission. On Eden Prime, he was shot and had to do repair work - but he did not need to completely repair cosmetic aspects of his chassis.
Legion was one of my favorite characters and he didn't get enough game time.
I'd like to see a video like this for Sovereign's voice.
Legion should have been more then what he was.

I agree but alot of my friends found the Geth to be very creepy instead of hero-like characters.
TheArtofUTube i always felt bad when i heard them scream :c

You can mod save files to use him earlier, and he does have speeches, just don't ask me how to do it..

I like Drell voices a lot, I wish there was a behind the scenes video for making their voice...
Someone please implant a machine in my larynx to make my voice sound like this in real time.

+eva magnusson 2 1/2 days for both games! I thought I was bad but holy crap man. You couldn't have slept for a couple of days to manage that.
I'm really completionist on it, so I like to nolife it for a week and complete every single mission.
Legions voice is one of my favourite things in Mass Effect.
Legion's voice is probably my favorite thing about the entire series, and that's saying a lot. Wonderful job.
Wish there was one for Thane somewhere
Holly Travers there is but written only... I wish there was a video.
This video just makes me appreciate Legion so much more. His voice is spot-on.
He's playing Mass effect 3 in the back haha.
Mass Effect is one of the best game series there is!
True art.
Thanks for all the work, dev team!
I love Legion. His design is epic!
The line he played as the example of legion's final post processing, and then stopped for "spoiler" reasons, was actually already a huge reveal of what was to come with the geth. Too perfect 3:50

*grabs wire* i can help
We agree.
i love how they put the menu for Mass effect 3 in the background
I did really love the way legion talked and the vocabulary it had. Like this vid!
Ah, a classic Winamp. A right choice of the true sound guru.
Easily my favorite character and species(?) from the Mass Effect series!
As a sound designer myself, I love this look at how the designer created the voice of Legion, one of my favorite characters in the game.
This is why I loved Legion... you just knew he had to have a ton of work put into him. To give humanity to a Geth.
Legion is dancing at 2:35 ?
+Admiral General N.N. In me2 if you stand next to him long enough, he starts doing the robot
Did you know that there are a lot of random actions your crew can preform... Like Garrus and Tali chatting about elevator talks, Joker saying "Pew! Pew!" in the cockpit, etc.
Wow, appreciate the intention and hard work going into this project. Really eye opening.
2:43 dear god i almost died at that
megamanx503 Sounds like Guilty Spark.
Legion going through puberty
3:50
oh, you tease, you! if i saw this back in november, that line would have sent me off a cliff.
Getting loads of recommendations for mass effect videos 😎 TH-cam knows a remaster is coming
A lot of great work in the sound department!
That awesome moment when Wesker and Legion are the same voice actor.
Their voice actor is a pedophile.
Legion was and always will be my favourite character in the mass effect franchise
I brought peace! But that scene... that... scene. Yes, manly tears, many many manly tears.
Fuck, I'm stuck in the Mass Effect video trap again
Indeed. They work very hard on even smaller details like this.
Sounds like Soundwave from Transformers: Robots in Disguise. 2:14 play-time in the video.
Legion and Thane, they have a place in my squad forever.
What software was used? I love it.
DC Douglas is an awesome actor
He’s still a pedophile.
NIcely done I love mass effect
Fair to say they nailed it in the end.
DC is a real swell guy :)
Damn, I love that original geth sound.
The clicking noise was perfectly explained in-game. Basically 10G broadcast from platform to platform at 10kilowatt power.
these guys are truly genius!
Never thought about it before, but all the species need different voice processing. Probably even fine-tuning for every voice-actor as well, since their voices can interact differently with a process that worked for another voice-actor.
Especially in ME2 and 3 you get lots of different aliens, even as companions. I guess the audio engineers didn't get bored during the making of these games.
The best AI voice in all of Sci Fi.
3:57 is from a geth related mission in ME3, i think. no spoilers...
I wish he would walk us through how they created the voice for Sovereign; which has to be one of the coolest voices ever.
That was Amazing. The Mordin script was spot on xD
Even if Legion wasn't a squadmate in ME3, I'm glad he was given such a great part.
Now I always think of Legion whenever I watch a History channel documentary.
Look at the beta pause menu screen in the back. Purple-ish blue. Looked awesome.
there are a variety of description for a game "designer" you need a group the artist, programmer, and many more. the programmer is the one that codes in everything that lets the game be a game, like a code to let the pause menu open when you press the button.
Actually very interesting, I had no idea it took so much effort to create a badass voice like Legion's
I cannot stop staring at Rob Blake's Adam's apple, especially in side profile :O
Guys like this is why Mass Effect is so awesome
Really miss these behind the scenes, we had none for ME3 nor for Andromeda (as of yet).
The Mass Effect 3 one is darker blue and the selected options are red, unlike ME1's orange, plus it looks less square and a lot smoother. But in the video Journal is the one that's highlighted red ;)
Geth sounds remind me of the selkath form KotOR.
Legion is my favourite character.
fascinating stuff, geth are awesome
Legion is the best character in the whole mass effect universe
Legion is my favorite thing on mass effect
Legion is reason that i never choose destroy ending
this guy spent hours on end to find a perfect voice for a character only in the last 2 main missions.
He does do it, go to him on the Normandy and just stand by him for a while, he'll do it.
i got this recommended so i am liking all the old comments
What did we do wrong?
The hole is not a structure weakness nor did it hamper him in any way. Remember, Geth are software and not hardware. As long as the hardware works, then there is no reason to repair it further since the hardware servers the Geth and not part of the Geth.

You can do it on the Normandy too. It takes approximately 5 minutes for him to do it.
RIP Legion :(
I would love nothing more than to create sound effects for video games. Virtually limitless creation
So Wesker has already expanded his reign to the Geth, Legion?
HELL YEAH.
I want to know how they created Sovereign's voice.
Stand still and watch him for a minute or so.
I miss Legion...Damn! ME3!!
For me Edi and Legion were some of the best.
lol a lot of reviewers i saw said that the illusive man had the best voice acting which is saying something. i liked it a lot mysel
2:44 the voice pitch sounds like Legion just about hit puberty.
Favourited this video, purely because of the adventure your comment sent me on
Yes, Legion. Yes it does.
I HEARD A NOISE AND GOT SCARED
So i comforted myself with TH-cam videos
I KNEW I WEREN'T ALONE TO THINK THAT!
Dude legion is such a common name in gaming, clicking this video i was wondering if it was dead by daylight, Titanfall 2 or mass effect's legion
I'm glad they didn't go with the sound at 2:15. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with Soundwave as a squadmate.
This conversation below me is quite...intriguing to say the least.
My name is Legion, for we are many.
I was going with the flow
You do not not tell Garrus Vakarian to shut up! Ooh girl you got me started
I didnt notice that until you pointed that out. thanks XD
Love these videos.
