cut to Shep entering the Normandy with pistol drawn and Joker begging for his life?

Hopefully EDI had backup files made?

I wonder with as many people [not me] that want the VS to have a huge role if the trial / jail / whatever is just a good excuse to have them ride to the rescue???

[hawat333]

That would be a convenitent way to seperate Shepard from his/her current environment in the beginning of ME3, so yes, I can very much imagine the game beginning with he/she being on a trial for his/her deeds.

I don't think my Shepard is going to end up in prison. If it goes like it did before you're going to preach over reapers all day long, whether you like to or not.

So they're going to do the Sarah Connor thing with her. "Ah, yes. Terminators" They're gonna stuff her into a high security nuthouse (with a director who has been indoctrinated by the reapers) and your team has to break you out.

maybe not jail but shepard  will have go trial and need to kept somewhere when during between trial that way he doesn't just up and leave in the middle of it. Also I don't think being  spectre is going help since if your not brought to justice then there will be war, if that happens the Council won't help too either side which means since shepard is human and caused this no allies of any council races which means beating the Reapers will be alot harder.

the trial probably has significance leading into a story for maybe a new game or the movie.

[JamieCOTC]

A trial would certainly be a good lead in to the story and could account for all of Shepard's actions throughout both games.

Instead of a prison break, I'd rather see Shepard found guilty and extradited to Batarian space. The rescue could then take place during transport. It could be a sort of homage to the beginning of KOTOR.

If Shepard will go on trial then that explains why the devs decided to send Shepard alone. If he had taken squadmates they'd have to stand on trial as well, most likely on different courts, and it'd get complicated very fast.

im guessing they made it a solo mission, because of the possibility that all of you crew could be dead, bbut yeah if they had survived and gone on the mission, well let work it out here
tali in my game shes a hero
thane is a assasine he kills people sue this is a bit bigger bet what ever
samura, again justicar off free
garrus, maybe he'd get in trouble, doubtfu though
zaaed he's a merc
mordin, spec ops, he cant be held responsible
miranda and jacob are outside the law
legion, try finding a geth court
jack is a biotic pyshco
all in all it was a solo mission because it could occur after the collector mission

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

GOD!......................................If there is one I hope its better than tali's trial

[Zcorck]

Far-fetched but what if Grunt pulled a Scofield on Shepard? :innocent:

I think it's much more likely they blew all their voice talent budget on Lance Henrikson and couldn't/didn't feel the need to get the entire cast back in to record new lines for a short DLC.  Note they didn't even get Seth Green back in to record any lines, and Joker appears right there on the screen.  They did much the same thing with LotSB, after all.

I am starting to think that a trial would be a great way to talk about all the things Shepard has done over the course of two games. Based on what you did in the past will end up deciding how hard the case is to win or lose. Course losing the case won't be too much of a problem since you know... THE REAPER ATTACK!!!

[commandoclone87]

Even Paragon Shepard has done some pretty questionable things.

There is no question that the governments of the galaxy will want an accounting of Shepard's actions. At best it willb e a public hearing/inquiry. At worst a full out War Crimes Trial.

Some of Shepard's crimes:
- Destroyed Prothean Beacon on Eden Prime;
- Released Rachni on Noveria (A species responsible for a lengthy war and is widely feared and hated);
- Detonated a thermal nuclear device on the planet Virmire;
- Destroyed Prothean Ruins on Therum;
- Went AWOL from the Alliance (Shepard is assumed to have been alive during the missing 2 years as the rest of the galaxy does not know of Project Lazarus)
- Allied him/herself with Geth while unifying their factions;
- Destroyed the prison ship Purgatory;
- The murder of countless mercenaries and criminal organizations;
- involvement with a known terrorist organiztion and the coup de grace;
- Crashed an asteroid into the Alpha Relay, causing the annihlation of an entire star system and it's 300,000+ inhabitants.

Shepard did state during the end of "Arrival" that he/she would be heading to Earth at the end of the mission. This would likely mean the suicide mission so we may be starting Mass Effect 3 on Earth pending trial and waiting for the crew to bust us out.

I'm sure Liara, as the Shadow Broker, will be able to crack some nuts and you'll be fine.

[ProdigalMaster]

Shepard's frag count went up by 300.000 in the span of a few seconds.

"Whaaaaat? Trial? Come oooon, it was perfectly justified! I even tried to warn them, all 300 thousand of them. Look, I got paragon points for doing that, what more proof do you need?"

If they do want our crew to bust us out, those of us purposely making bad saves to import should have some interesting stories (my idea tested out on PC is currently being played on my PS3, which will get imported to ME3, with Zaeed+Mordin my only squad mates, while for crew I'll only have Joker, EDI, and Chakwas...mine is not the worse, since I sold Legion off to Cerberus, but there are people who only have 2 squad mates alive period).

I think a trial would be neat and as said before, a great way to sum up events in the past two games (maybe even a way to bring up your actions that are recorded in the save file).  Def looking forward to ME3

[jojon2se]

I could actually see alliance bigwigs trying to placate the Batarians by extraditing Shepard - the political sacrificial pawn thing. That should make Zulu happy, I suppose.

I can't wait to hear the accusations of hypocrisy, for those of us who played Bring down the sky - maybe even a Balak reappearence -- kind of have to wonder whether Bioware had this scenario in mind already when they wrote BdtS.
...hmm, maybe we could even have a group of batarians as your first allies and new sugardaddy, after Cerberus, following a long-ish beginning of beginning from the bottom anew and earning their respect.

I must say I really didn't think "the ultimate sacrifice" would be Batarians, given the attitude often expressed indisciminately against the whole race, here on this forum - I can imagine quite a few regulars going: "Yes! Burn, you bastards!", rather than feeling they have sacrificed anything.

Heh, I almost feel Arrival should really END ME2, to the point you can't play on, because of the way it kind of cheapens the whole plot on any parts you might play after it and your still getting the references to the "up-coming" suicide mission at the end, even if you have already finished it.

Sorry if this has been already mentioned, but as soon as Hackitt mentioned Shep having to answer for what he's done, I couldn't help but imagine an epic epilogue sequence.

Step 1: Unite everybody for a war against reapers
Step 2: Lots of really exciting things happen
Step 3: Profit
Step 4: Recap in the form of a tribunal

So after the galaxy is saved and everyone is doused in champagne, Shep returns to the alliance to stand trial for all the things he's had to do in order to save it.  Every plot flag would be analyzed from all three games.  Everyone you've helped or screwed over comes to testify.  The Rachni Queen (if you saved her), the colonists on Feros, all your surviving companions.  Every single side quest and minor character could come forward to testify for or against shep as character witnesses.

Depending on your choices, you could have made a lot of enemies, prompting you to be convicted of crimes against humanity ( or whatever) forcing you to have one last mission to break out to go rogue accross the galaxy.

But you could have made a ton of friends.  Testimony after testimony could show how hard you worked to save as many as you could.  How you made tough choices with the best information available.  Throw in a few Paragon/renage dialogue options and you could win the trial.  Then you could have 1 last mission to atone for something you feel bad about (or something)

I'd like to see all of our choices be dissected by the powers that be.  I think it would be a much more interesting ending then just "Congradulations! You win!" followed by some bland exposition about what happened to everyone after.
