Here’s a treat for Mass Effect fans. If you’ve played Mass Effect 2, you’ll know that at some point, you run into an old friend from Mass Effect 1 on the colony of Horizon, who depending on how things play out, leaves you a heartfelt letter upon your departure.
It’s a nice touch for those who care enough about the game’s story to bother reading and digesting, but it’s even nicer when the voice actors involved go to the trouble of reading those letters out.
Both Raphael Sbarge, who plays Kaidan, and Kimberley Brooks, who plays Ashley, have recorded in-character readings of the letter, which you can check out above, and Brooks’ especially is perfect.
