Now, we know the Reapers aren't even from here, so are we, you know, going to have to leave the Milky Way to end this?


That would be so amazing in every possible way. I would go with that path. It means that there is no Deus ex Machina, thank God. thanks Fiery, you have put my soul at ease.

The final chapter of a story-driven RPG supposedly defined by player choices  again being a "perfect entry point into the series" - Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk.

If this isn't foreboding of epic-fail on their original premise I don't know what is.

My main fears are that my choices through out the games will be of little consequence and that previous squad mates will be relegated to cameos.

Nope. Sorry, I absolutely abhor the idea of multiplayer in a ME game. ME blends story and gameplay together so well, it would be an absolute shot in the head to try and mash multiplayer in there somewhere.

Aside from that, I have no real fears. Bioware knows their stuff.


I agree.  ME is a series based on story and gameplay and the last game in the series should continue that style.  Then if they want to do some MMO people who like that can play it and I'll continue to play their other games.

I only hope that it doesn't have a lackluckster conclusion. To be honest I really wouldn't mind some form of multiplayer. I've seen too many games that I thought shouldn't have multiplayer but turned out pretty good for me to just shrug off multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 being somewhat decent, as long as the development of it didnt detract from the singleplayer. But I don't have a doubt in my mind that there will be no multiplayer.

Bioware will make a demo of DA2 ME3 and leave the entire game in it.

We'll have to see more of the game before any of my worries are really substantial...but the main ones I have are:

-Consequences of previous choices being minor or non-existent. This is probably the biggest one. While Bioware had a reasonable excuse about the amount of branches they'd have to deal with in ME2, I still can't shake the worry that ME3 will still be a straight line with all the choices doing little more than adding a few extra lines or scenes at most.

-Disappointing ending. Most obvious ways they can do this is leaving it too "open" for a future sequel, or handling the Reapers in a way that strips away how threatening and dangerous they are.

-Too Earth/human-centric. Although I'm actually very excited to finally be visiting future Earth, ME3 should still make it clear that the Reapers are a galactic threat and show their effect and threat to every species, not just humanity. And I'll be extremely annoyed if a "humans are the chosen species to defeat the Reapers" or "Earth has a hidden ancient anti-Reaper weapon" twist pops up.

I'm actually not too scared about multiplayer...the ME universe lends itself to many types of games, and I can see some kind of MP game popping up in the future. I just hope it's seperate from ME3, or developed by a seperate studio without sacrificing any of ME3's resources.

OMG... what if there are ewoks in ME3?!? And they defeat the Reapers with rocks and spears and their devestating cuteness!

I'd buy the game twice if that happened, just to salute the most epic case of professional trolling ever.


Jokingly, at least Dark Energy would make more sense as a description of the origins of the Force than Midichlorians (probably spelled it wrong).

my only fear, tbh, is that the subquests will be as inane and useless as the ones in ME2

I'm doing another ME playthrough, and there's that one mission where you get info from a Cerberus installation. Then, a information gatherer for the Shadow Broker tells you the SB would be interested in the information you acquired and that Kahoku was going to turn it over to the SB. He then finishes with something like, "My employer will remember this the next time you need something from him." Then, there wasn't any interaction with him in ME. Does anyone know if there was any SB interaction beyond helping Liara? Some of these missions seem to not pan out to anything other than a statement or two promising something that doesn't actually happen.

And then there's the whole ME2 emails thing...

judging by what I've been reading about DA2 - my now biggest personal fear about ME3 which most likely is going to be reality - retconing of the characters. like major retconing.

My only serious fear is that the game won't have the diverse endings Bioware has advertise. After all if they want to continue the Mass Effect universe beyond Shepard's storyline they'll need an official canon. That will either mean a "blank slate" ending that erases all of your choices (so that every playthrough is canon) or they'll just finally set in stone what "really happened".

I also think it is likely that none of the squadmates from ME2 will have large roles. I don't believe for a second that they will be returning on your team again.

Another fear is that none of our choices made in the first two games will have any drastic consequences. The fact is ME3 needs to be accessable and beatable for a first time player who never even touched ME1 or ME2. That means the choices made can't have any serious impact that would impair or help you in any important way.

They need to have a vast amounts of endings including

- Ultimate good Ending,  The reaper circle is broken, and everyone is happy and in pece

- Ultimate bad ending,    The reaper circle is broken, and hummanity is now in charge of the galaxy

- Ultimate Bad "bad" Ending The reapers assimilates humanity, kills the remaning speices, and plants new biological seeds for the next harvest

- Ultimate good "good" Ending, The reapers makes peace with the Galaxy and with their technology we unite as one.

- Ultimate Sheppard good ending - Sheppard saccrefices himself to break the circle

- Ultimate Sheppard Bad ending - Obtains all the reapers powers and now controlls the reapers

- ??? ending - :?


Also some betrayals and epic battles, in my opinion i would be realy sad if we couldent controll the normandy and fight a space battle.

Actually, they don't necessarily have to neutralize your decisions in order to continue. All they really have to do is allow you to transfer your saves from 3 to 4, but instead have your decisions form the basis for a new trilogy where Shepard's decisions now influence the world in which your new character resides. Did Shepard go completely bad? Did his Renegade actions cause him to be taken over by Reapers and ultimately betray the galaxy? If so, you could be playing a new character who is responsible for killing Shepard. Did Shepard cause the homeworlds of the Council races to be wiped out? If so, humanity might actually be hated or in danger by other species. Did Shepard save the galaxy? If so, he may have a holiday named after him. Did he disappear to the Reaper homeworld and never return? If so, you may be the one that has to find him.

The bottom line is that most of the decisions made so far in the Mass Effect universe aren't as story-shaking as some might think. Did you help that infected Batarian on Omega? So what? Most Batarians probably still hate humans. Conrad Verner may have been inspired to start a charitable foundation for Alliance soldiers, but does that really impact the overall story beside providing some background flavor? Did helping Gianna Parisini really do anything? Cracking down on a few corrupt business types doesn't exactly help in the war against the Reapers.

The point is that most of the important storyline missions are actually easier to plot, and thus, they can be used as a historical context for a new trilogy without the need for an "official canon".

Also, Legion for squadmate in ME3.

1. Too Much Inventory/Boring Side Quests (i.e. Bethesda)
2. MMORPG (thank god this won't happen)
3. Kinect Compatibility
4. Cheap/BS Ending
5. Bad Squadmates
6. Too Much Detail or Loss of Attention to Plot (i.e. Bethesda)

My concern is actually more to do with the pre-release buildup and hype, especially the weeks before release. I just hope it is kept simple (reasonably) - it shouldn't need massive fanfares, the game should be good enough to capture people's imaginations without a great deal of fuss (fingers crossed).

I have to say, I'm really worried for ME 3, mainly because it is coming out a lot faster than I thought it would. Mainly I'm worried for 3 things:
- your decisions in other games not making much of a difference, especially from ME 1 due to PS3 players not being able to get it
- the fate of the ME 2 squad... I'm still holding out for them to return. It would be terrible for them not to, considering we already have a popular and well-developed cast, and ME 3 should focus on the plot.
- a dues ex machina way out of the Reaper threat. If we end up with that crap, just kill me now.

I agree. If ME3 leads to the same ending, regardless what major decisions Shepard made, that'll be a big let-down to me. There better be a hell of a lot of possible ending outcomes.

Please tell me they didn't really say that. 

As for fears, only one.  multiplayer rumor.  Not enough info to get ruffled on anything else.

A large fear of mine is that ME3 will be like too many other games of recent: rushed. Unfinished, "could-have-been-more" but will be pushed too aggressively and be released too soon. If a delay comes, I am more than open to it. I would rather wait and play a solid, well-defined game than one that is hurried and hollow.

Another fear is choices not having much consequence.

Oh, dear... Ditto on hoping this will not be so.

I have a fear that the ME2 romances will be a little less... serious for lack of a better word. As in something like Garrus saying in ME3 ''Oh, I just wanted the sex. Bye'' or something like that.
Also, multiplayer doesn't have to be bad. If they focus all their energy into writing the story, maknig the dialogues, the singleplayer gameplay and then have a completely bug-free game, and then realise they still got 3 months left, I wouldn't be unhappy if Multiplayer gets into ME3. In the end, each one to his own, and people like Jamie two posts above me doesn't have to play the MP if they don't want to.
