So the magazine is out heres what I see so far (yes the scans are out there)
-Tali is confirmed squadmate"Garrus, Liara, Kaidan, Ashley and (newly confirmed) Tali are all full
time members of your team if they survived the previous games."
**** F YEA!!!
-Wrex?"I asked point blank about Wrex and got as close to a 'no' as I think Bioware will come at this early stage: exceutive producer Casey Hudson simply re-emphasised that such characters canplay a role and fight alongside you without necessarily being permanent squad members."
**** While I of course would have loved to have Wrex with me, I have faith that Bioware will do him justice. They are well aware how popular he is.
-No new LIs in ME3**** Good! Hopefully that means we can work on ddeveloping existing relationships further.
-
Biotics are more potent in combat"Biotics can use their Pull ability to rip a shield out of someone's hands" (I dont get this)
-Multi Layered combat areas"The games combat spaces have graduated from the often-familiar open areas dotted with low walls. They're now multi layed encouraging you to seek high ground for a better vantage point...[the rest is about Cerberus rocket boot dudes using this to their advantage]
-class Specific Melee attacksEngineer: Omni-tool fire lash attack
Adept: Melee (biotic) attack that knocks everyone near them away and stuns
-Powers Evolve more than once"In ME3 this is just the start. A Vanguard player can customise their devastating Charge move first to slam people harder, then do more damage, then to reduce the cooldown.
-Powers combineExample given with Soldier: "Soldier still has an arcing attack called Concussive Shot, but it now behaves differently depending on the ammo ugrade he/she is using. Cryo ammo lets you use that same trajectory to deliver a blast of ice that canfreeze every enemy in the area."
**** Cant wait for all this, sounda fantastic!
-
Story is more like ME1 than ME2**** Love it
-Places being visited (at least what the Magazine reports):[...]mission takes you to the Salarian homeworld, the Quarian homeworld, the Asari homeworld, and the human homeworld - Earth. You'll even go to Mars [...]
****Ive been dreaming to see these places since ME1. Going to Mars just seems like icing on the cake.
-
Every major character you have met will play a role in the last game**** I couldnt ask for anything more then this. Having everyone as a squadmate would just be ridiculous, but knowing that everyone will play a role somehow is comforting.
-
Why is Cerberus after Shepard? They are working with the Reapers"If your wondering why we were fighting Cerberus, having worked closely with this shadowy organisation in Mass Effect 2, the answer just raises further questions. They are wokring with the Reapers"
**** Well, we all knew Cerberus was evil from the beginning, so i cant say im exactly surprised. I think everyone needs to calm down tho until we kno the details on the situation.
-
Reaperized enemies include Asari, Krogan, Rachni"In Mass Effect 3 we'll fight the Reapers other experiments, with other species.
One is a hideously bloated pregnant Asari, her gums stripped away and a robot skeleton showing through her rotting flesh"
**** This is fantastic. Things like this add a lot of spice and variety to the series and will draw forth new and different emotions from players of the series. We already know that the Reapers tech often revolves around morbidly altering a species. Now we get to see it in all its glory. More reason to hate the Reapers and stop their diabolical acts. Cant wait to see it in action.
"The Reapers take on the Rachni, who were already viscious insect monsters,are covered with bulging savs of lesser creatures. Rather than hitting their weak spot for massive damage, you want to avoid it like the plague: bursting any of these sacs before the creature is dead wit will unleash a swarm of horrible mini-rachni that crawl all over your body"
"The Reaperised Krogan wears heavy armor plates that can shear off with enough focused fire. Once you do the creature changes its behaviour to be more defensive clutching its lurid blue intestines to its stomach as its lumbers towards you"
Casey Hudson summarizing ME3 (This is an article quote):"Casey sums up Mass Effect 3 as being about victory through sacrifice, the scale of that sacrifice has been increasing with each new chapter" [Rest is authors speculation about saving(or not saving) Wrex and Rachni consequences]
**** This last quote is fantastic as well. Knowning that there will be hard choices, there will be sacrifice and we will likely lose people/things close to us i wonderful. The Reapers have been destroying civilizations for millions of years. It would make no sense at all to not have a great deal of sacrifice while fighting them.
Everything ive heard here sounds fantastic for the game in my mind. I dont understand what the problem is at all with some people. Keep doing what you are doing Bioware!! I have full faith in them when they say this will be the biggest and best ME we could all hope for.
