I hope they do the trial right, if they even stick with that arc. Officially Shepard is dead, so his return to Earth would also be a public relation event gone wild. The hero of the galaxy's return to his home planet Earth is going to be for a trial to appease the Batarians... I hope it's more than what Tali got on the Migrant Fleet.

And that's not even mentioning how the Alliance can't even legally hold a trial for him without Council approval (if he's a Spectre, which frankly even having a choice not to be a Spectre is a digression from ME1 in my mind), which I hope is addressed. I'm kind of tired of the Alliance/Cerberus emphasis, in ME1 he had Alliance support because he was the first and only human Spectre, the pride of humanity. That's not the case anymore, he's more than a symbol for just humans, but now for every race. I'd like to see some Council cheddar get him a new ship, the best in Council space, with crew from all races, not just humans with the occasional alien from Shepards squad.


I'm betting that it won't be even as long as Tali's. Keep in mind that this is the intro to ME3, in which the trial takes place. As an introduction, Bioware has to introduce the most important elements of the game almost immediately, or risk losing its audience's attention. Long and interesting conversations have to be cut short for action sequences that familiarize the player with how to move, shoot, get to cover, use squad skills, hack, etc, etc. It's part of the reason ME2's intro, involving Shepard's revival, was so awful. 

If it were up to me, Shepard would have woken up, regained his/her motor skills after years on a table, and mastered all of the game play necessities under the guise of Cerberus adapting Shepard to life after death. Miranda and Wilson could have instructed Shepard on how to walk, run, and shoot (over a suggested period of weeks). They could've run more memory tests on Shepard too, giving the player more control over the events of ME1 if they hadn't played it. It would have been slower, yes. But at least it would've made sense.

No, they are.  Just not the majority.  They have platforms down there maintaining it and cleaning it up.


Sounds like a waste of time to be talking to a glorified vacuum cleaner, though.

Don't get me wrong, I lover that we're going to the planet, but I think there are better ways to handle the situation.

And how do you know the Quarians have not invaded the planet already and have bases set up there?

One question. So is Garrus a full permanent squadmate? Or is he just available during one mission?


There's no way of saying anything with 100% certainty at this point, but thus far all roads point to permanent status if he survived the events of ME2's finale. That and I'm pretty damn sure BioWare wouldn't make either him or Tali temporary. Fanbases and all that.


I hope so, he's my favorite I want to have him in my squad throughout the entire game.

I would expect that the incredible friendship between Shepard and Garrus would be enough to have him stay as a permanent companion,hopefully.

Wait, I have to gather everyone together again?

Give me a break.


 Pretty much every character recruited in Mass Effect 2 speculated about what they'd do after the suicide mission, so its no real suprise to me that they are splitting away

 We will get the big guns back during the game, but with a story focus and recruiting civilisations, don't think you need to worry about 'getting the team back together', it will happen as you go

According to a belgium gamemagazine (CHIEF), who interviewed Chasey Hudson it appears Kai Lang will make his appearance in ME3. Sherpard against the Cerberus assasin from ME: Retribution... Awesome!!

Just glad they FINALLY added swords and knives in the game! They are finally up to date with the novels! It made no sense it was in every book but not in any of the games! Hope they explain James Sanders as well. There has to be a relation to Kailey Sanders! Just hope they remove the scan mini games and add multiplayer even if its a separate mode from story. A Co-op... Uncharted can do it, Mass Effect can to.

Scan is in the game, different but still in. Multiplayer is not.

Een personage waar Shepard door die strijd mee te maken krijgt is Kai Leng, een huurmoordenaar met een aversie voor buitenaardsen = Kai Leng (Cerberus) is going after Shepard.



YES!


that should be a big fat NO! none of the awful book characters should appear in the games. :crying: :pinched: <_<

Books are good. And in comparison with comics they are masterpieces.:lol:


compared to the comics, anything looks like a masterpiece, but that's not saying much. the first book was ok, the 2nd was probably the worst book i've ever read and it only took me to read the blurb on the third to not put myself through that... thankfully the games are bouyed by a multitude of talents and have both been masterpieces that remain unsullied by tie-ins for me.


everyone has different opinions, i personally thought the books were some of the best reading i have had, although since they tied in with one of my favourite games it also helped.

as for Kai leng, hes probably the most badass assassin in the universe, i don't think shepard could take him 1v1 which is why you roll with a squad :P it will certainly be interesting

I never read the books. How does Kai Leng stack against Thane?

i dont really want to ruin anything especially if you have not read them yet, and also in a no spoilers section, but Kai leng weight trains in 200% gravity kind of like Goku style if you ever followed the DBZ series.

So, according to what I've seen here. The Reapers, who's objective of shutting down the Relays via the Citadel in now out the windows. Instead of isolating each world, they just head to Earth because we 'humans' are just so damned important to their plans. In the process, they leave their backs uncovered, let Shepard escape though they can track his ship and leave the rest of the galaxy alone.
Yeah... That makes sense.
Some of the crew would definitely leave, that's logical but all? No one stayed to support him?

They can't get into the citadel even if they attacked it, they need someone in the inside to give them control of the station. It would be a waste of time attacking the CItadel now considering they can not do anything about. Also, considering the whole giant thresher maw vs reaper thing, it looks like the reapers are attacking other planets as well. The reapers can not track the Normandy, I don't know where you go that idea in the first place. At the start of ME2 the collectors lured Shepard, not track him. The other time they found the Normandy was when reaper IFF was out of control, but now that is no longer the case. The crew probably left to avoid being arrested themselves.

Instead of starting an argument between yourself and I, I shall just say this.
And, in the beginning of ME2, the collector ship ALTERED course to intercept.  Pressly even says 'no way, we're in stealth' but still they intercept and kill the Normandy.  Yes, they can track.

Detect something isn't the same as track something.

This referral to the falling out with the ME1 LI (particularly the Virmire Survivor) as "cheating" makes me concerned that the only option we'll have is "LOL I CHEETED ON U" as an option instead of "I needed people I could trust and you weren't there for me".

I imagine itll still be there. The VS kind of called it off.

The way this plays out will be very interesting, especially seeing as I went from Ashley to Tali.

Why would the collectors need to change course to intercept if they were tracking them? Wouldn't they already be coursing for intercept?  Technology to see through the stealth does not prove tracking ability, it only prove they can see through stealth. If they could track the Normandy why did it take four day to reach them in one sector if they have been able to track shepard all this time?

Slight concern from the translated Dutch article:
'Hudson also announced that Commander Shepards built team from the second part of Mass Effect 3 has fallen apart.'

We already know that some squadmates are definitely coming back, so I'm not that concerned - this just seems like a reason not to have to potentially bring back 12 squaddies, plus the VS, Liara and Sanders which would just be a ridiculous number of squadmates to have. Perhaps only half of them return as sqaudmates, and the others become NPCs with other roles in the story, much like Wrex in ME2. Still, mildly concerning to hear.

If Garrus and Ashley/Kaiden are confirmed squad members, it's likely all LIs will be back in the team. There's no way Bioware would want to deal with the levels of world-shattering rage that would arise if some LIs got preferential treatment.

Hudson already confirmed that characters will either be
1. Party members
2.Temporary sqaudmates
3.Cameo

Let's see.  Collector ship on course of oh... 135.  Normandy drops from FTL and assumes course 270.  Collector ship (detects, tracks, gets a funny feeling, whutevah you want to call it, they KNOW the ship is there.)  They alter course to close the distance.  You don't just shoot a weapon, you track a target and using it's plotted course and speed, aim at a point ahead of said target to hit.  This does require tracking for their targeting computers.
They could track because it was in the same system and not across the galaxy.
BTW, I'm not making up how a weapons system hits a target.

After the Kai Leng reveal, I shall officially be joining the "staying away from ME3 info" party :P I can't wait though!
