I would love it if there was a portion of the game where you took control of a squadmate. Not like Joker's thing, 'cause really that was just moving him in a linear line while he and EDI had their conversations without your input. But instead, a portion of the game where you control one squadmate, dictate their dialogue, and have a couple ways to go about it. It would be a good way to highlight what makes each squadmate different. I can see Kasumi hacking her way in, but Tali uses her drone for recon instead to work around a problem.
I disagree to a point. I don't like the idea of controlling a character that is not your own. In any way. Ever.
I believe that (IMHO) you should not have any idea what happened on the Normandy. Instead of dropping down to a planet, the camera goes into the drop-shuttle where it shows you having a short conversation with your squad, and then EDI pops up giving you the message and a frantic conversation follows along with you turning the shuttle around. Different squadmates may have different reactions too, like Tali doing something to the shuttles engines so they can get back faster. Once you get back it follows the squads reaction to arriving back afterwards (Tali mentioning something about Gabby and Ken missing). It would be an opportunity for a renegade interrupt where you almost punch joker for losing the crew.
Back to what you're suggesting: I think that a movie-like cinematic like this may be better. EG: Your squad is set up in different positions around a building you need to storm. Tali/Legion is at the power facility ready to cut the power. Thane/Kasumi infiltrating without being seen ready to take out the watch guards/snipers. Zaeed/Grunt/Jack ready to storm the barracks and blow stuff up. Garrus/some other sniper in a position to take out some other guards from a distance. And finally someone leading another team to attack at the rear and cutting off escape routes. The decisions would be made much like the Suicide mission.
Camera shows shepard outside and ready. he tells the insiders to "go." Camera switches to a first person Tali/Legion view of some omni-tool magic, camera zooms out to a third person view as the power goes out. Camera switches to Thane/Kasumi in third person view while the lights go out. You see slight movement indicating that they moved out and only a few "who's that?/ What the/[death scream]" from their targets. Garrus's scope cam. Perfect headshot on multiple targets. Zooms out to a turian smile. Then to the barracks as Grunt/Zaeed/Jack start wreaking havok (Grunt concussive shot/blast followed by blood-rage/Zaeed with firebomb thing/Jack with shockwave). Then back to shepard as each of those squad members confirm. Shepard tells second squad to move in and then the actual gameplay begins.As the mission progresses you will meet up with your other squadmates now and then. Afterwards Shepard will*slaps had away from keyboard*
If I don't stop now I never will. Very much OT:whistle: but still. I thought it was cool while writing this. Something that might fit int the final ME2-ME3 bridging DLC.
Back on topic now: Sooooo... Tali is pretty cool yes?:innocent:
In all seriousness: I think that Dark Energy will start to play a much larger technological role in the game. The reapers left the Mass Effect tech so that organic life will progress down paths they create. When the reapers return I would bet that they will use much more advanced technology that branch out from just mass effect field this, mass effect field that. They saw organic life starting to advance down other paths, so sovereign. I wouldn't be surprised if we see lots of Dark Energy based tech later on in ME3, more or less of that tech depending on how long from ME2 to ME3 there will be. And bringing this on topic: Tali would probably help develope/integrate this tech with the squad/normandy.
I realy should stop theorizing about ME3 this openly. I'm going to get shot.
Okay, thats my massive post for the day in which I try to contribute to every conversation at once. Its not entirely on topic but then again the topics responded to are not exactly 100% on topic either.
