forgot about the leviathan of Dis that we keep hearing about..

It was mentioned in a description for a planet in Mass Effect, it hasn't been talked about at all in the game.

If i remember correctly it's an codex entry in ME2.

Might have been an planet description either way, apparently the batarians got themselves an levy.

One thing I do not want is for such a space battle to involve the player controlling the Normandy. This is an RPG where we play as Shepard, I think it will be much more fun and interesting if the battle is directed by giving orders through dialogue from the CIC.

Yes!

Like you I'm expecting TIM to pull a Benedict Arnold. Most likely going the way Saren did and joining the reapers in return for a promise of human dominance. Idiot.

Yes, it's all clear to me now, him getting Shepard to smack the Collectors around and mess up their human-reaper plan is an elaborate ploy to prove himself worthy of being an ally of the Reapers..

Wow, I guess nobody could've seen it coming, eh?

First off, who is to say that ME3 starts shortly after the events in ME2, eh? I see the very distinct possibility that it happens, say...20-30 years later. It is possible they give us a 5 minute scripted intro like they did with ME2 in which it's filled with us seeing the events of the time since ME2, all of which are potentially dependent on our actions in ME2 (Did with re-write the Geth? Did we save or destroy the Collector Base? Did we urge the Quarians to seek peace or wish them well in their attempts in war? the list goes on and on). This basically gives Bioware the ability to take a few more liberties that might otherwise be impossible (or simply difficult to do) if the game started right after the events of ME2.

nah 20-30 years is too long, expecially when you consider that shepard will be the main character

It's too early to assume anything. I don't think it's likely that ME3 will take place 20-30 years after ME2, in fact it's a very remote possibilty. But the Reapers aren't warping out of dark space so their journey's going to take some considerable time and Shepard can always cryogenetically freeze himself to wait for the Reapers.

....it's not something I'd like to see but it's an easy way to reconstruct Shepard's face again and start from level 1. And to be frank, I don't like Shepard dying and being Frankenstein'd back to life just for the face reconstruction screen.

But it's still too early to assume anything about ME3 other than it will conclude a majorty of on-going storylines.

Come to think of it, in 20-30 years, Mordin will most certainly have died of old age. Thane will definitely have kicked the bucket by then. The rest of the human squad members would have aged quite abit.

Yes, I can see this is a way to get rid of old squad members without outright killing them, and an excuse for Shepard to go gather a new team. Good idea.

I would be very surprised if we needed to wait for the reapers to arrive though normal means, Haelstorm must play a role in their arrival somehow

No, but they are traveling Faster than Light, and I'm of the opinion they use the Citadel as a surprise attack instead of that it's the only way for them to reach us quickly.  I'm thinking a few months/years, but no more than 5

Five bucks says Shepard dies. It'd be pretty emotionally engaging, you gotta admit.

You know, one of the things that comes to mind is Haestrom, where Tali's recruitment mission takes place. Her team went to a lot of trouble to find out about all the dark matter/energy/whatever building up in Haestrom's sun. Dunno if this was just supposed to be a reason for Tali not to be able to join immediately, or if somehow it will affect things in ME3.

And then there's the obvious things -- the Quarian-Geth war, Krogan genophage, the Rachni, etc.



Also, did anyone else think that Morinth's "I am the genetic destiny of the asari" actually means something?

[DiatribeEQ]

If it's not 20-30 years, they might do something in which time skips ahead a bit. For example:



Bring Peace between Quarians & Geth. Then cure the Genophage (and since the Krogan have such a rapid breeding ability), begin to breed a mighty Krogan army to help fight with us. Now we have the Geth, Krogan & Quarians gearing up for war.



Skip ahead 2-3 years



Insert all sorts of other missions designed to unite each species behind Shepards cause to bring everyone together.



Skip ahead 2-3 years



Insert more missions.



Skip ahead 2-3 more years.



Cue the Reapers finally hitting the current Mass Effect area we're playing in. All of our work is now brought to the front. Seriously, you think that in a matter of "Game Weeks" that Shepard would unite everyone and they ready a sizable enough defense to fight off the very threat that's been wiping everyone out every 50,000 years like clockwork? Heck no, it's going to take a little time, thus the time gaps I mentioned. It allows Bioware to build the events in a believable fashion.
