I meant that it was specifically Carth Onasi's character development as voiced by Mr. Sbarge that got me hooked onto games that were fully voiced. I am playing SWTOR now, and when I found out Ms. Hale voiced the female trooper I simply had to create one - and I am loving it!

I hadn't realized how powerful it would be until I stumbled onto KOTOR, which led me to the Mass Effect series. It makes the entertainment more interactive, and much more personal, when the characters you encounter have real voices - something entirely different from the consumer experience of movies or television. That's what gets under our skin - and in the case of Mass Effect (and KOTOR for Mr. Sbarge), it is your talent that renders our experience so meaningful. Thank you not only for being so good at your craft, but for sharing yourselves so generously as people outside it. It completes the experience for us players as people, and I cannot express how aweomely cool and appreciated that is.

I remember when Baldur's Gate came out, that I thought it was a big deal that there were some voiced dialogue, but it was when KoTOR came out that I was inspired to write fanfic and draw fanart. Not just me, of course - the Internet is littered with fan-created media (art, stories, sculpture - even LEGOs) dedicated to your characters. Don't sell yourselves short!

You have allowed a video game to come "alive" for so many people! I, for one, was never a sci-fi person, was never really interested in it. But, since playing Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, I can say, 'Wow'! The time you have taken to make these characters so real is amazing! Thanks for your contribution to this market! Have a great day! Can't wait to hear you in ME3! Thank you so very much Mr. Sbarge and Ms. Hale! You have allowed a video game to come “alive” for so many people!
