Another argument in favor of collusion (Illusive Man - Reapers). For Illusive Man - the main task dominance of man in the galaxy. We remember, that he is a really have some xenophobic ideas. For "good target" he can make big sacrifices. So to say - "the end justifies the means. " Probably he attempted to save the base (ME2). This base is only another "trump card" in negotiations with the reapers. Yes, and the reapers are needed allies. Recall ME1.

Back from short holidays. Did I miss anything?


I actually wanted to know where you read/saw this?

"Actually I have to change that. Brendon Holmes says that it's not
the same engine (as in the ME3 engine will be further modified), but it
shares the same tech."

I hope there isn't a multiplayer in ME3. With DragonAge, Old Republic and whatever other commitments they may have, the last thing Bioware should do is create an online addition to the game. If ME3 can make the final part of the story humourous but thrillingly dark at the same time, and wrap it up nicely, this could be the best trilogy in gaming

In regards to timed decisions:



According to one of the articles on the subject, this kind of thing is built to test a person's character. Measure their instinctive reactions, and move on accordingly, like Heavy Rain. I do not approve of this.



May main Shepard, Alyx, is heavily Renegade. This is not my natural inclination to play. If I played like that, I would be heavily Paragon, as would many people here. If timed decisions like that are introduced, all of my Shepards will run together until I've played through enough times to be able to tell what decision is where and how long I have to act on it. This would actually rob me of a good bit of enjoyment for a long time.



However, if it's only for highly critical decisions, such as whether or not to shoot someone holding a hostage, then fine, but that's basically the Interrupts.



Multiplayer:



Absolutely not. This is the last segment of a trilogy, where the story matters most. DO NOT sacrifice it on the altar of online gaming like every other company nowadays.

Should I add the fact that CDN will be back up a week before ME3's release as a promise?

Maybe add it as a side note or something.

I think people forget going through the relay was a time sensitive decision.

We have dismissed that claim.

It's not really timed, though. You either go immediately and everyone is saved, or delay and visit other systems and people die.

Not even that. The only limitation is that you can't start new missions before going through the relay. You can take as many visits to hub worlds as you want or waste your time doing whatever else without any consequences.

Vehicle based exploration brings back a lot of bad memories of trying to get up steep hills or finding a different route to get to the minerals that didn't really count for anything outside of that side assignment. I wouldn't mind having it back, though, if it were implemented better.

Apologies if this has been posted, but Christina Norman stated on her Twitter that they're looking to expand combat in ME3, and that the Vanguard charge "will definitely be in ME3".

This! Multiplayer should not be introduced in Mass Effect 3. The series has fared very well so far without it and doesn't need to for this game. There are so many plot holes that I would rather have the story being worked on rather than the "multiplayer experience". Many highly anticipated games suffered because of that very thing. I couldn't see multiplayer happening anyway with the exception of paragons vs. renegades or Alliance marines vs. batarians/geth, but that's just bogus.

Maybe as an MMO it could happen, but that should be separate from the main game.

Why can't ME3 have both? You do know that separate teams work on different aspects of the game right? One team would work on the campaign and all the good stuff, and another team would work on Multiplayer. 

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood surprised everyone with how good that multiplayer was. Why can't ME3 multiplayer surprise us even more?

I think we should create a poll to make bioware guys know what we think about a possible multiplayer feature in mass effect 3.

Personally i'm for a full singleplayer experience: me IS a singleplayer game (at least for this trilogy)

I agree with you both completely. Too many games have fallen under the sway of multiplayer, but have left the story behind. For example, let's look at the Halo series. :o

Ever since Halo 2, the story has been going downhill in favor of multiplayer. More and more work went into multiplayer,  which took away from the story. This is clearly evident in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach. The two newest additions in the series (not counting Halo Wars and ODST). Halo 3's story was sub-par for an end to the Halo trilogy,  "but hey multiplayer, right?"<_< And don't get me started on Halo: Reach. They had to retcon the "Halo Story Bible" to appeal to the "casual masses", something I've been against for quite a while now. We can even see this "catering to the new players" in ME2. Though there is some relief with the DLC, it still pissed me off.

The point is, multiplayer and catering to "new players" takes away from the thing that drew people into Mass Effect in the first place: its story! Our story! Mass Effect is an RPG, it should be trying to tell a story, and nothing but a story, our story. Multiplayer will only cheapen the experience.

I can see multiplayer being worked in in another game after Mass Effect 3. However, because this is the last installment of a story-driven RPG trilogy... there should be no multiplayer.

As I've been aware of for some time, yes, I do know that. That's what's going on with ME2 for PS3, the ME2 DLC to bridge the gap, and ME3 itself.
As I said, many highly anticipated games suffer from getting a new multiplayer into its respective game. Not few and definitely not all.
I'm not saying it can't have multiplayer; rather I'm just expressing my opinion by saying it shouldn't have it. Mass Effect to me is a single player game where the story- our story- should be the focus of the game and, whether you agree or not, should stay like that.

My friend, we are on the same level of thinking. :P

It's definitely the last months of 2011. If they want to make that deadline, there's no time for multiplayer and putting together a great story that ties the trilogy together.

Honestly, it would be pretty stupid if they released the game at the start of this year. They still have one more DLC to bridge the gap with ME3. And like Green said, tying the trilogy together should be the main focus if the game is to be released this year. There are just too many variables in this game with the choices you make that its focus needs to be on the story and filling in the gaps.
