Fun fact: Shepard in Mass Effect 2 and Buzz share the same voice actor in polish dub

[@felixworthington6880]

thank you for the latest addition to my weird trivia collection.

[@Sabbalab92]

HA! That's awesome!

[@mariuszgaaj2814]

Cholera, rzeczywiście.

[@Spillow-C]

and in italian, Shepard is voiced by the Spongebob voice actor

[@SztywnyPatyk]

even better: ME1 Shepard was played by Marcin Dorociński, and Toy Story 1 Buzz was played by Tomasz Konieczny, so Łukasz Nowicki started to play them in the second installments of BOTH (forget the fact ME3 doesn't have a Polish dub).

[@thekiss2083]

Of course Buzz would pick the green ending. He's already a synth

While that's a joke, second game would have started quite differently. Vented into space? Woops, I have heavy grade spacesuit with its own propulsion ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ And with Sheppard being alive, with Cerberus having no favours to call upon from him... who knows.
