By this point, you all must have heard of the proposed trial/imprisonment theory which essentially states that Shepard will be tracked down and taken into custody by Alliance and/or Council personnel for the length of the gap separating ME2 and ME3*. Now that I think about it: wouldn't it be real cool if ME3 started with some kind of interrogation (whether it be as part of the trial -- should it ever actually happen -- or otherwise)?

Imagine, a scene where Shepard is being interrogated. I personally think this would work wonders; especially for an imported Shepard (even more especially for one who also went through ME1). This would be an opportunity to go over the majority of your past decisions from the moment you touched ME1 until the moment you were completely done with ME2 with that Shepard. It would add meaning to the universe and more character to your Shepard. It would also be a good way of "welcoming" any new comers since it covers the past, but it would obviously play out differently if it's not an import (in a way such that it introduces and possibly explains what has happened rather than going over it).

Discuss, I guess. I know I would totally love that.

* There are many reasons justifying this. Look here.

I have and I love the idea of a trial at the beginning but some of the things you mention I prefer over the other thread.  I'm not big on his idea to have the Reapers there right away during that interrogation, sometime near then maybe but not during the interrogation/trial.  The idea of Kaiden or Ashley capturing Shepard for said interrogation/trial is brilliant and being able to recruit or kill them is even better.  I could only imagine my Shepard just getting so frustrated during her interrogation and with the way Kaiden treated her that she tackles him takes his gun and pops him one in the head.  Priceless.

I didn't like the idea of severing ties with so many people.....I want to have a mixed squad of different people.  Miranda, Garrus, Jack, Wrex, Ashley/Kaiden, Thane, Liara, and damn it have Cerberus fix Jokers bones....lol, they did enough for him to shoot and completely rebuilt Shepard, why not give him some upgrades and let him become a party member (that'd be awesome), Jacob..........you get my drift.

These are awesome ideas, hopefully something that BioWare considers if they see them, all I know is that it's going to take A LOT to top Mass Effect 2's intro......going from the craptastic ME1 to the stunning, left you with tingles ME2 intro was intense, I'm hoping for said feeling again.

I too would love this and ever since I heard the idea for the 1st time, this has been my vision of ME3.

[gunnerkite1985]

great idea, would really help to recap the last two games events. only concern is how would they get it to work if Shepard died at the end of ME2, would it be Joker being interrogated?



Also, some, like myself, managed to get the council to re-instate us as a Spectre, and we were working, for the most part, in the Terminus Systems. This means that we were working either outside the duristiction of council law or, because of spectre status, above council law.



perhaps debrief would be better than interrogation?

[KuldarYldrad]

If Shepard died at the end of ME2 you can't import your save, the story is over.

The Interrogation/trial/debrieffing is a good idea so we don't have an other stupid rebirth.
I just want it to make sens and not being rushed.

You can't import a dead Shepard save.

[Fiery Phoenix]

If Shepard dies at the end of ME2, no ME3 for you. That is, you can only import a surviving Shepard.

EDIT: Beaten to it, but oh well.

[gunnerkite1985]

so what... if you let shepard die you can't import your choises made in ME1 & 2. the're kinda important!



maybeif, say, Shepard dies, its Joker that goes to be debriefed by the council, or whoever, and the player takes on a new character to fill the role of shepard, that way all of the choices made in the previous two games are carried over.

[LURadio]

Shepard dying at the end of ME2 is such an epic fail, unless you just cakewalk through the game it's next to impossible.

Oh and bud, the game is about Shepard, there's no way that'd happen....dead or not, just means you've gotta start fresh.

Would be nice having two beginings:

• If Shepard is a spectre, it's a debriefing.
• If Shepard isn't a spectre, it's an interrogation.

I understand what you're saying, but I fear that's not the case. It's been confirmed more than once that a dead Shepard save cannot be imported. If your Shepard dies at the end of the suicide mission in ME2, then that's the end of your adventure; you can't continue to ME3 with that Shepard.

The idea of a substitute character assuming the role of a dead Shepard in ME3 can't work because the trilogy is first and foremost Shepard's story. If Shepard is not there in the first place, the story can't continue. At least that's what BioWare says.

The only problem I see with this, is there is no way my Shepard would get arrested. He'd kill anyone who came for him.

This! It would acually make that choice have some importance as well, as it seems to do nothing in ME2. 

oh and about that shepard dieing.. thinking about it yor're right, there's no way Bioware wuold continue the ME story without shepard, not that i think many people actually let him die anyway.

If it was Ash/Keiden then shepard might lower his guard while talking to them, allowing him to be knowcked out/drugged

[Evelinessa]

I really like this idea. I hope BioWare does this.

[mineralica]

Sheparв was interrogated in a such way that we should use face editor after that? Creepy. Moreother, it's pretty hard to capture Shepard - except situation with traitor.

I prefer fugitive, but not captured, Shepard

[TK Dude]

It would be a better alternative to get newcomers rather than another damn reboot like ME2.
Though I'm not a fan of the protaganist getting to jail, I'd still support it.

[Haventh]

I would like ME 3 to start out like Bioware intends, i don't have the neccesary knowledge for the ME 3 story, so whatever Bioware goes with is fine with me, i trust them.

[Asheer_Khan]

"AH Yes, Mass Effect 2 events continuity in Mass Effect 3"... Bioware will dismiss that claims.

Maybe your Shepard would do that.  But mine would shoot Kaiden in the face if given the chance.  I was really hoping for the renegade trigger on Horizon to shoot him but it never showed up.

Plus he wouldn't be able to get on the Normandy without causing some kind of stir.

I'm honestly not a fan, either, but it does seem like the most logical way to move the story along at this point. It would fit just fine, in fact.

Yes! That's why this would make sense.

[StarcloudSWG]

Interrogation, hell no. Interrogation implies imprisonment, and a hostile questioner.

A proper debriefing, with reports, and clarifying questions, like a professional soldier reporting to his or her superiors, that would be acceptable. 

You know, since that's what Shepard is supposed to be. A professional soldier, a Marine in a spacefaring naval military.

That always bothered my about the "Spectre reinstatement" if you played Paragon and chose to be reinstated. "Will I have to file reports?" shouldn't even have been a question, much less a question asked in a hostile tone.

It should have been "I'll make sure to file reports." Because hell yeah, as a Spectre, I want the Council to know what's going on. I WANT to rub the Council's noses in the fact that I'm right and they're wrong as the mission progresses.
