I'm about 10-15 hours into Fallout 4 and discovered something incredible... Jack/Subject Zero from Mass Effect, one of my top 5 favorite video game characters ever, is in Fallout 4... Well not entirely, but the voice actress, Courtenay Taylor, is the voice of the female protagonist. Ever since Mass Effect 2 came out, I have loved the character Jack. I am a young man myself, and really wanted to do my first play through of Fallout 4 as the female protagonist. I really wanted to make my experience with Fallout 4 a bit more unique. I know more people often choose a male protagonist. Additionally all of the promotion has been of a male protagonist, so I wanted to change things up a bit and I'm really liking the female protagonist play through so far.

I had no idea Courtenay Taylor voiced the female protagonist, so after a bit of time playing Fallout 4, I thought I heard hints of Jack's voice when I selected dialogue that was more along the lines of things Jack would say (typically when making 'badass' statements). After a quick google search, I confirmed the voice actress was the same. I really enjoy Fallout 4, and now that I know my character's voice is voiced by the same actress that voice Jack from Mass Effect, I am enjoying it even more.

I know there are a few threads on the voice actors that exist already in this forum, but I just wanted to ask if anyone else discovered this, and how it's impacting my gameplay. As I stated before, I personally love the character of Jack, particularly her voice and look in Mass Effect, but I know she doesn't get a whole lot of love when compared to some of the other female characters in the game. I think Coutenay Taylor is an awesome choice to voice the female protagonist - I'm loving her dialogue in Fallout 4 so far. Has anyone made this realization themselves and what does it mean for you?

Err... It's been known for a while that Courtenay Taylor was the VA for Fem-Survivor.

Yeah, Jack was a badass.

I played a male Sheppard who looked like Idris Elba and surrounded himself with deadly space chicks. Jack, Tali and I were unstoppable.

one of the reasons I play as a female SS. you hear Jack's voice come out a lot heh. In fact my next character will be a war paint covered rowdy raider like Fallout version of Jack.

I may be hearing things but I swear one of the Railroad members has Garret's voice actor. Same with Kaidan. I hear them both in Fallout 4

Do you mean Garrus? Because he's generic male #3

The bookworm aboard the BoS ship voiced like 200 people in Skyrim.

I think every male Thalmer (high elf) was him.

Ashley Williams is also generic BoS female #1

Haven't seen her mentioned yet, oddly.

Jack from Mass Effect definitely had a distinctive look. She was like a bald, tattooed to the toe, Angelina Jolie. But I can't remember what she sounded like. I just remember her not being pleasant. I stayed away from the angrier crew members like Jac and Wrex.
