A seperate action campagin (and I know for me, action is only one part of what I want in a ME game, atleast when it's in the main series and not a spinoff, though this is personal opinion, although I think not only me). And I would hate to have to play some multiplayer campaign to get story for the game (and making one solo and one multiplayer campaign is pretty resource intensive).
It doesn't have to be just action. BioWare Austin is perfecting a multiplayer conversation system that could be borrowed/adopted. If its not Shepard that we're playing as, what difference does it make if we share these conversations with other players? If its a co-op game, its likely that it will be level divided for ease of "playing with your friends" no matter where they are in the game, so replaying sections will be likely, so conversations will not be some sort of "permanent" thing and you wouldn't be ruining your story.
What if they made the multiplayer campaign scale so it was playable solo or with an AI squad?
Resources shouldn't be a concern for BioWare. This isn't a game that they'd like to skimp on. They know that this will be the biggest game to ever come out of their Edmonton studio. Might as well go all out. If BioWare Austin got over $300 million to make TOR, I'd imagine that EA wouldn't even bat an eye if BioWare Edmonton needed to hire 10 extra staff to finish a multiplayer campaign.

Yes Baseless proclamations are unwanted. So lets give it some base then.
1) ME is a story about a Single hero shaping events around them that would overwhelm a lesser person. If you had two such people together they would fight for dominace and in the end it would harm both abilities to function.
2) They could go with the Fable 2 hireling concept but that is really boring for the second player as you are a faceless grunt a no one dancing in the shadow of greatness begging for someone to notice.
3) And assuming you are someone important then who would you be one of the many people shepard collects. then you still have the same problem of being a backround charecter for everything but fighting.
4) If you think that you could come up with a way for some sort of multiple shepard like charecter to play at the same time then I am all ears, but I will say that much like Alexander the great's empire after his death I think the game would fall a part.
1) Make a separate parallel storyline NOT involving Shepard.
2) Same answer.
3) None of the above as you're not playing as Shepard or his squad.
4) Adding a DLC or expansion or third disk with a co-op based campaign using the ME3 engine and systems based on the Alliance Resistance fighting on Earth while Shepard is out recruiting the other races would make the game fall apart? If you really believe that, then you're just whining for the sake of complaining.

Retour en haut
I'd say that there could be a special dialogue system for co-op, where both players can get words in edgewise, but while that'd be an amazing feature, it'd be almost untenable given the number of possible Shepard-squadmate combos. Thanks for bringing me back to reality there.
As I've said before, I would love to see this type of play in a spin-off to the main series though, I love co-op in games.
That review oozed of fear of an MMO style multiplayer. Where have choices effected gear in Mass Effect? Who said anything about "hundreds of thousands" of players playing at the same time? Nobody is suggesting that. That entire subsection is a strawman.
