Right, so... if ME3 sidelines the ME2 characters to two-minute cameos (there are a lot of them, after all) and emails and introduces an entirely new squad, up to and including generic sniper dude, you guys would be fine with it?
I don't think anyone is saying that. I think everyone wants the ME1 and ME2 characters back in a big way. However, it's just too early to work ourselves up into an anguished frenzy. We don't know anything about ME3 and people have already made up their minds that it will be nothing but a Gears of War knock-off that sweeps Shepard and her old friends under the rug in favor of new characters. And we just don't know that. Mostly, it will be a looooooong year if we start panicking about ME3 now.
They have stated that Ash and Kai will get a conclusion to their story arc in ME3 (the whole 'think of it as a traditional 3 part romance arc?') and they have also said there is definitely more DLC in the works. There's still at least a year until ME3 comes out.
It does seem a little premature to start getting so gloom and doom. For every fact I've read that points to Bioware not caring about the old characters I can find one that gives me hope they do.
I'm not saying I'm right. Just that it's too soon to say.
I feel like they delivered for Liara fans. I haven't given up hope they won't do the same for Ash and Kaidan.
I doubt a little excitement over a mystery character in a 2 minute trailer is going to make them change their plan for the game. The fact that we don't know anything about him just fuels speculation. The few comments I have read that are negative towards Kaidan and Jacob in particular--those people don't like Kaidan and Jacob in the first place! leggywillow said it, at this point in the development cycle, I'm fairly sure they already have plans for existing characters.
We're a pretty small portion of the fanbase, so I don't think a few threads are going to change things drastically. And around these parts at least, there is quite a bit of support for the old characters. Way more than exists for Big Ben.
lol. There's more speculation here about Big Ben than there is on his own thread.
For my femsheps
Teagan is still waiting for Kaidan.
Vera wants to reconcile with her friend Ash. But she has no LI, sooooo...if we get some good new ones awesome. If not, well nothing lost. Besides, REAPERS!
