The new video on GameInformer.com (as part of their month of Mass Effect 3 coverage) covers the evolution on the design of Garrus/turrans, and also has several detailed pics of Garrus as he appears in ME3:

There's also some speculation that we might get to see Tali, or possibly Quarians in general, without their masks.

Could be interesting

You wanted a worthy enemy for Shepard, so here he is.

"Hudson also announced that Commander Shepards built team from the second part of Mass Effect 3 has fallen apart. Moreover, he ties in Mass Effect 3 includes the battle to the prohumanistische Cerberus, the organization where Shepard in part two still worked. A character by that which Shepard has to deal with conflict is Kai Ling, an assassin with an aversion to aliens.

I wish people could stop complaining about Ash's outfit. Has it ever
occured to you that it's her casual outfit? What she'll be wearing when
on the Normandy because she doesn't want to be in armor 24/7? She's a
frontline Marine; she's gonna have armor

I wouldn't mind that outcome at all. Kaidan would need to have a casual outfit similarly inappropriate, then. Both he and Ashley were professionals who would know better than to fight in catsuits. Those should be reserved for the Normandy.

It's more likely these are the permanent shapes of their outfits. I'm with you, but I cannot fathom BioWare harboring any sense after ME2.

Compare his new appearance to the ones he used to have. A phallic shotgun? Metal-suit that obscures the shape of his body? He's being passed off as an ultra-soldier/vanguard archetype to assuage the same fratboy audiences that ME2 catered to.

Well since I'm female and I like his new look, guess your frat boy audience comment doesn't fit.

I'm a gay male and I like his features as well. But let's not pretend that any iconic aspects of these games were designed with my preferences or your preferences as a priority. Our being able to find him attractive (and not all straight women or queer males do) is intended, but the extent of his appeal is always capped in favor of reassuring fratboys that their own needs are to be reflected, in this case by making him more "butch."

ME1 Kaidan- light armor, pistols, sensitive, thinker, political. And, somehow, that gets equated to "whiner" by lots of male gamers, with or without the Carth associations. Kaidan wielded stereotypes that macho fratboys and wannabes who wish they were fratboys tend to spit upon. Given the way America's been running, I'm sure some women didn't like him for those reasons either. But none of us need figures to be sure that the straight-male complainers outnumbered the straight-females by far.

ME2 Kaidan- heavy armor, shotgun. No clues yet as to his personality. But his newer skin-deep rendering says a lot. BioWare listened to the actual whiners who wanted a "real bro" who can butch it up. Whatever Kaidan or Ashley's personalities turn out to be, their new appearances have everything to do with catering to limited binary stereotypes of "armored male" and "pornified female" depictions.

Read everything from the GI article,Wow Spring Break is just about over but I dont care im excited as anything.

Yes,the end is here for Mass Effect. The concept of this being the last time Shepard has an outing killing a bunch of geth or Reapers or Batarians is sad. But here it is,this is the war we have been trying to stop the past 2 games,its here its time to roll,lets kick some Reaper ass (even if I agree there is no way it should be possible!)

[Shibby Razel]

Tali please come back!?

[TomY90]

 James Sanders is NOT the sniper in the trailer apparantly he is just a new alliance solider which makes it sound like they are trying to make sure you have at least two squad members because of all apart from one ME2 character can die to enable you to continue your save to ME3.

It sounds like in ME3 that one of the confirmed characters may not be a full squad member (I am guessing it is Liara due to her being the shadow broker I doubt she can be on the normandy all the time) and due that garrus can die in ME2 and you will have one virmire survivor as a full squad member which is obvious considering your now with the alliance I doubt they will not be full squad members

I will not say everything i have read about this james sanders but here is a link below that have some information on the matter.

http://masseffect.wi...i/James_Sanders

[stysiaq]

Well, I don't quite get it. Why new humans are introduced, like this Sanders guy? What excited me in ME1 was that in your crew 4 out of 6 members were alien - getting to know about new races, their culture and phisiology via your journal was the element i appreciated the most in ME1. That is why I craved for a Salarian squad member in ME2 and loved Mordin. That is why I loved Legion and Thane. Actually, the human squadmates, since they are, well, human, are less interesting for me. Introducing new humans for ME3 squad is in my opinion wasting squad space, which could be used instead to give us an Elcor/Hanar/Volus/other squad member (may seem laughable, but I suppose that all advanced races have some military structures). Also, I'd rather see some known character further developement over new squad member (I think that few of the squad members were highly underdeveloped, especially the human ones, like Jack or Zaeed, not even mentioning Kasumi)

VS return is not surprising, yet very pleasing; I never liked Ashley particularly, but Kaiden is one of my favorite ME1 characters.
I will be fairly surprised, if Wrex isn't back for ME3 as a squad member - it is a true fan favorite, and i doubt BioWare would risk getting fair amount of negative feedback from ME core fanbase over getting immediate applause. Put Wrex in squad - boom, everybody is happy. I would also feel rewarded for my loyality for the series (since Wrex's appearance is dependant on ME1 ME2 purchase).
I got the feeling, that Bio made one main mistake in the series developement. They assumed, that everybody will instantly fall for Liara. Well, for example, I didn't. I find Liara kind of Mary Sue character - very young, yet powerful enough to become influential 'information broker' in a matter of two years, attractive (in human standards), weilding strong biotic powers, daughter of a very important Matriarch - the list goes on. Well, I found her kind of funny in ME1, with her scientific approach to everything, and lack of sense of humor - but that's it. I get the feeling, that Bio pushes me into liking her - with all the fuzz about being able to do her (male or female), comic books and so on.
I loved LOTSB - and, frankly, I hoped that this will somehow cut her plot for the players who don't pursue relationship wit her anymore. Apparently, I was wrong.

the approach to the Asari race I like more, is Samara and Benezia. Personally, I find most of the Asari found in game 'too human'. So I'm not that excited about Liaras return.

[Brian.V3]

Why wouldn't BioWare not make everyone that survived come back? It really would be a slap in the face if the people who survived did not make a return in some degree. There is a chance I won't have them as a permanent squad member, I get and accept that. But they will be there. I just hope we don't get the Virmire survivor treatment where they only appear in that part of the game with any of the characters.

The obvious reason would be the availability of the voice actors. Sometimes real life gets in the way of logic. I'm not saying that will happen but, if it does, that's the most likely reason.

I suspect that the new human squad mate is down to the new melee options in the game. Given that he's apparently built like an American Footballer on steroids, I suspect he might have a few melee specializations to bring to the party!

Well I hope we get more than a cameo with the Squadmates that survived, with Kasumi and Zaeed cameo thing only happening if we have the DLC for them from ME2. What i wish is we get a mission with them as temporary squadmate, something like Shadowbroker DLC with Liara.

But thats my 2 cents on the matter, but I do hope Legion can be a permanent ME3 squad member if he survived the Suicide Mission of course.

[ExtremeOne]

If the ME 2 squad does not come back in 3 . If Bioware has only the ME 1 crew in the squad outside of wrex . I am going to be pissed . They already have said F U to us Cerberus fans . If they do it again with the ME 2 squad . The reapers will win in my game simple as that

[Sledgehammer44mm]

It's going to be nice to have both Miranda and Ashley in my party....

[stysiaq]

personally I didn't like Ash due to her racism combined with religious beliefs. I mean no offense, but how on Earth (or in SPAAAACE! - portal 2) can you believe in God and disregard other intelligent life forms the same time. I'm not the fan of Thane's poli-theistic beliefs either, but at least he is not a racist.

Well, maybe Ashley was redesigned to please Fox News this time.

The racism was my main objection to her but I'm pretty sure there were indications in ME2 that she had a change of heart in that regard (I can't remember what it was, maybe a news report or something).

I think all the LI from me2 are returning as a squad member because of how they will react on shep cheating (I cheated on liara with miranda)

[RPGamer13]

I love the new makeover for Ashley, I hope they do something similar with Shepard.

There's also another thing:

The picture of the female with the cool looking armor and what is obviously some sort of sword.

It's probably an enemy unit, but if certain enemy units have melee weapons, does that mean the possibility of one for Shepard?  Or even just adding it to the Vanguard's repertoire.

That's my hope at least, regardless of how likely it may or may not be.

I would have to agree.    Tali, Miranda, Jack, Thane, Garrus, Jacob...  all return for the simple fact there was outcry over Liara's and Ashley/Kaiden's lack of dialogue in ME2.      LI's need dialogue.
Wrex and Mordin already mentioned as in the game in Game Informer.
That leaves Zaeed, Kasumi, Legion, Grunt, Samarra/Morinth left for confirmation.


May be wishful thinking. But a reward for those who have played ME2 and had nobody left behind.... we should have all the squadies on the Normandy!

I think I've read somewhere about more complex melee in ME3

Can someone address this for me.
1) How is she racist?
2) How does aliens existing mean there is no god?

I'm not going to make an argument. Just... how did you come up with those "revelations"?

1) Even her writer states she isn't yet she keeps being labeled one by people who dislike her,i'm inclined to believe that its easier for them to bash the character by just saying RACIST! instead of actually listing their real faults with her such as her brash personality and such.

2) Isn't it obvious?
Only Aliens:alien: can be religious or spiritual.
Its a sci-fi schtick, obviously there cant be religion in their outlook of the future.

You can take a look at Ashley/Thanes writer outlook of it here :

A lot of her dialogue reveals a deep-seated distrust of aliens in general. Hence the racist assertion.

I think the religion thing was a suggestion that, if you believe that G-d created everything then G-d must have created aliens so, therefore, if you're religious you shouldn't hate aliens.

While, objectively, that would seem true, it doesn't follow that religious people would all think that way. There are plenty of religious people who have no love for other humans (never mind aliens) despite the fact that their religion tells them they should have.

Apart from anything else there's the idea that G-d created man in his own image. A literal interpretation would suggest that, in that case, aliens, since they are not in man's image must not be children of G-d and, therefore, are little more than soul-less monsters.

I am, of course, not ascribing to such a belief myself but I don't think it's right to assume that the idea of xenophobia and religion are mutually exclusive.

I do have a distinct recollection that there was some indication that Ashley had become more accepting of aliens during her time with Shepard. I can't remember exactly what it was (some news report in ME2 about her death on Virmire or something, I think, but I remember it made me soften a bit towards her).
