oooo I was wondered about this myself....



I think it'll either be a throw to ME1 and be a Alliance or Cerberus profile reconstruction.....

Shepard sees Legion swimming in space and deems that if Legion is cool enough to do it, he can do it too. He tells Miranda to prep up the Lazarus Project and jumps out swimming in his underwear. Of course he freezes, hits orbit and dies again.

Though since we don't have TIM's resources, Shepard is rebuilt with duck tape and a hammer resulting in more scars that allow Renegades FULLY BODY CYBORG SCARS! HELLZ YEAH!

I want to see Shepard go out on the town and go all out on the ryncol without any squadmates to look after him. He wakes up the next morning in an alley with no armor, no weapons, and a massive radioactive hangover, and gets brought in by C-Sec for drunken disorder after yelling at random people about how they're his favorite asari/keeper/vorcha on the Citadel. They bring him into the nearest station and question him about his identity while shining bright lights in his face, causing his scars to break out again regardless of good choices/platinum-powered reconstructive surgery. Inexplicably, these questions include which badass event he did to become famous, how he likes to kill his enemies in combat, and whether he punched Khalisah al-Jilani once or twice.

First mission is a C-Sec cruiser driving Shepard back to the Normandy; EDI opens the airlock, thanks the officers for bringing Shepard home safe because they were all worried, and promises it won't happen again.

I'd like to see the first tutorial mission be a proper misson with importance to the plot not just an obvious "this is a tutorial complete this so the game can start mission". This mission would be done with your imported shepards face, class, the lot.

At the culmination of this mission shepard is wounded in some horrific way, takes an incinerate to the face, gets chewed on by a krogan, walks into a low pipe - whatever, resulting in massive tissue damage..

 Basically leaving us with half a face half cyborg implants underneath visible. Think terminator, where arnold has half his face burned of. This would not only actually show us the amount of cybernetics present in shepard, but also allows us to recreate our face. I'd rather have something well thought out and exectued rather than a boring char gen at the start of the game.

The trial sounds like a good idea, but how do you catch a Spectre running around the Terminus systems in a ship that cannot be detected by any current means? He has plenty of friends he can hit up for a safe zone; The Rachni (if you save them), the Quarians, The Geth (if you helped Legion). Also his/her ship is the only one that can safetly enter the Omega 4 Relay. Its "a needle the size of a Quark in a haystack the size of a galaxy" situation.



Surgery is a useless idea since security scanners sample DNA rather than facial recognition.

You trick him into going somewhere you want him to go.

Yup Kaidan/Ash or even Anderson maybe would be the obvious choices for the call. Considering what Hackett said in that note we see in LotSB I really doubt he would be the one to 'bring' Shep in, if anything he'd be the most likeliest to give Shep a warning about it. Which sadly leaves me to the conclusion they'll have it so Hackett is put to pasture before they go after Shep (which I really hope isn't the case as I'd love to see/hear Hackett back in ME3).

Course the one key issue with it being the VS is, if they did help 'bring Shep in', how the frell would Bioware work it so it can be turned around so that after that Shep can trust them again. I know there could be the 'I was following orders, am really sorry' line, but they already did that in ME2 sort of and that annoyed some fans and so can't see them repeating that again.

I think the obvious way is that they are sent on some mission that means them meeting up with Shep again and then the council/alliance come in afterward and take Shep once it is confirmed Shep is there. That would help give Ash/Kaiden reason for siding with Shep in ME3 because then they might just realise that the Alliance isn't so 'nice/good' as they seem to believe.

"I'm an Alliance Soldier... but if this is how they treat a god... frell with them!"

Am not overly convinced Anderson would lay a trap for Shep either considering what he has done in the past for Shep, though at least he has more of a chance for doing the whole 'my hands were tied' conversation due to him not being a potential squadmate and more so a NPC ally.

[Alienmorph]

No pretext... ME3 will be the end of a trilogy. So there will be off course the Shep's customization too, for who haven't played the game before, but it's supposed that you did the previous chapter and in that chase you'll just import your existing Shep. Not new reboot-friendly start, please.

Easy. Make it the player's choice. To trust them, or not to trust.



For example, I am not ready to trust my VS after Horizon no matter what. Stupidity at such a scale is a capital offence in my books. Plus insubordination. Shepard maybe AWOL, but the rank is still his.

Gimmie my Alliance DLC already!

[Sir Ulrich Von Lichenstien]

Meh I just don't see the Alliance DLC being that cut and dry.



I think we'll have more of a 'test' to confirm if Shep has gone rogue and at the end depending on choice either VS will ship Shep in or it will be done behind their back with the Alliance having already be concerned that the history between Shep and VS might've got the VS to switch sides. So they were just used as bait anyway. It is the only way I can see them giving a true reason for the potential of having VS back as ally otherwise no one would want them back. I don't think even my most paragon of paragon Sheps could forgive them if they declined joining in ME2 then stabbed me in the back in ME2-ME3 bridging DLC.



Besides which I don't think the actual 'capture' is going to take place in the DLC, it'll just give foreboding for it. Makes more sense for it to occur at the very start of ME3 (similar to the Normandy scene), otherwise how would it be explained for anyone who doesn't do the DLC?



"Last time you saw Shepard he was setting off in the Normandy having completed the Suicide Mission, now since then Shep has been caught and is in prison at the start of ME3"



Ok I know the argument to that is how the council/alliance sent Shep off chasing Geth at the start of ME2 without us getting a say in the matter but I think that holds more credence than us not finding out how Shep was caught.

Have patience! The later it's going to be, the more chances are it will be EPIC. By that I mean it may contain additional squadmate dialogue, and maybe even Anderson, TIM (!), Hackett (!!!) dialogue. In a ME2 DLC!

I think an Alliance DLC will be the final, concluding chapter of ME2. At least it would make sense that way to me.

[Killjoy Cutter]

Why bother with a pretext? If you're starting with ME3, you don't need one at all. If you're importing from ME2, you either keep the imported face, or just change it and go with it and who gives a damn?

[SimonTheFrog]

I hope they won't make a fuzz about the facial reconstruction, too. Thinking that we have the nightmare of a plot device, a.k.a Lazarus Project, mainly for stripping the class and having the facial reconstruction menu makes me squirm. Another one of these and i really start to doubt the capability of taking the franchise seriously (which is beaten up already as we speak).



Also, trial is fine but any other beginning will do, too. I don't see that its much better than other ideas that might come up.

How about (briefly) breaking the 4th wall and having a character creation screen, with no explanation? I'd rather have that than another poorly-explained resurrection.

Shep's on the run from the law, so he/she/it gets cosmetic surgery to alter his/her/its appearance. There will also be an option to add facial accessories like fake glasses, noses and moustaches to add to Shep's disguise.

Can't we keep this to the "trial" thread and not have to go over the fact that for some of us, none of our Sheps would go to that meeting?

No, just no, another damn cliche.

It won't work, sheppard's a hero and imprisoning a protagonist (or killing and resurrecting him) isn't what the big part of the audiance want since Shepard's is supposed to be a hero.

Forcing  the protagonist (Shepard) to comit crimes during act 1 and 2 and then having him on trial in act 3, doesn't make any sense and again a big part of the audiance won't accept this right away... Unless it's a conspiracy plot.... Yay more conspiracy plots.

[008Zulu]

Who'd trust some random dude sending an email saying "i might know something, come here and I'll give it to you" when you have Liara and the Shadowbrokers network at your disposal? Also Liara would give you the heads up saying "Beware of traps!"

Also, given Ashley/Kaiden's reactions on Horizon who would believe that they suddenly want to meet up to talk?

Nah, ME3 will begin with Shepard "on the run" (theoretically anyway, he has a frickin stealth ship with more firepower and survivability than a cruiser) hiding out in the Terminus systems gathering allies to fight the Reapers.

I hope it's gonna be something like ME (1). Shepard's death in ME2 was nothing more than a lame excuse for recustomization and way too overthought. Just keep it simple, you know.
