Mass Effect 2: Meeting the Illusive Man

Meeting the Illusive Man in Mass Effect 2. This happens pretty soon after the prologue, about an hour of playtime into the game.

Man, you could tell Bioware knew they had a legendary character with Illusive Man. This intro is amazing.

[ZakattacK]

This game is by far one of the best. it still looks good for a 2010 game.

We went from this level of cinematics, which are on par with some TV shows and movies, with clever backgrounds and shadows, backed up by fantastic voice actors... to Andromeda. Man, it feels so sad.

I would join illusive man after hearing his speech.
He seems like he knows everything and is prepared ahead.

Fun Fact:They play this music at Busch Gardens Howl o' Scream in Tampa, Florida. I got way to excited when i heard it.

Who ever wrote the dialogue for Mass effect 2, he earns too less

[nathanielsmith]

Some say he's still trying to get that comfortable seat position to this day...

i meet Mark Meer at comic con in albuquerque and let me just say this. I spent all 3 days of the con talking with him and he is an awesome to talk to. He is friendly and loves his fans and didn't mind and even enjoyed our long conversations and i discovered that him and Jennifer Hale are very good friends and his wife is friends with her and he has played all 3 Mass Effect games through every possibility. He is an awesome guy ^^

Dude's a chainsmoker extraordinaire.

This has to be in the top 10 of any video game ever made. And in the top 100 of any story, movie, book, video game, or TV show. One of the most memorable stories, and some of the most unforgettable characters, ever. Like Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", "Breaking Bad", or "Lord of the Rings", they had to have known they were doing something that was epic, would forever be remembered, and was really something special.

Dude the second I heard the Illusive Man for the first time, all i could think of was those Eyewitness Videos he would narrate. (The American version). I was honestly so excited and they picked the characters voice actor perfectly. Martin Sheens voice is just so unique.

The eyes was affected by an Prothean artifact. Back in his way early days years before Cerberus as (SPOILER. REAL NAME WILL NOT BE MENTIONED BY ME) he was a mercenary fighting in the first contact war. During this war he was trying to save a friend from a pothean artifact. It seemed to dammage him. As he saved the friend of him, was affected instead. He understood foregin languages, his eyes became perfectly blue and he had several advantages. But he was never indoctronated before Mass Effect 3.

The song playing in this scene reminds me of the 90s Bulls intro

[robertc]

I love the character of the Illusive Man. He's exceptionally well written and he is in many ways the equivalent of the Smoking Man from The X-Files, a show I thoroughly enjoyed.

[leadvendor]

This brilliant, complex and extremely competent character being reduced to just another punch-clock thug, it really broke my heart because he was one of the best antagonists (to use a very broad term for the sake of discussion) in gaming ever and boom.
Shit.

[opalfinity]

watching this scene after playing ME3 is just bizarre. I really liked the relationship between you and TIM - a twisted symbiotic sort of dependance mixed with a lot of manipulation. but in ME3 they tried way too hard to make Cerberus look totally evil and TIM lost a lot of what made him so fascinating and captivating.

[brandonhathaway]

fun fact i just learned the illusive man voice acter is Martian sheen who is the father of Charley sheen the more u know

[viqol]

I don't agree that "villain" word match to him. Everything what he did was for the good of humanity, so his goal was noble ... only means not.

[Longdongsilverx]

Same here..I helped him the best I could I owed it to the illusive man for bringing me back

[ThePostPrologue]

Even then he was indoctrinated, look at the eyes
