"Will that famous melody in the "Mass Effect Main Theme" and "From the Wreckage" be in Mass Effect 3? It is so fun to hum ."

"Shepard's Theme? Absolutely. :)"

It must be nice to finally talk about the music going into the game! I don't think I could handle the pressure of not saying a word!

I agree, the withholding of OST info was almost ubearable Wonder if Mr. Mansell will open up regarding his contributions now. I follow him on Twitter, and I don't think he's mentioned ME3 once.

Yeah, I don't remember him talking about the game at all either. I'm hoping he has a few things to say about his contributions before it hits the shelves, but if he decides to view his work on ME3 as something he doesn't feel compelled to discuss via social networking then that's his right of course. (Unless BioWare requests that he does or something, haha.) From what I've heard of Mansell's work thus far, it won't disappoint in the least and that's what matters most at the end of the day.

[LGTX]

I just hope he won't phone it in as a simple videogame thing, you know? I'm sure Bioware won't allow that, but him being dismissive of the inquisitive tweets with no given reason is somewhat worrying

Then again, Earth demo. I shouldn't even be complaining.

Well, gosh darn it. More evasive answers. Expected as much, though.

Thanks for the heads-up, Vertigo. Following the conversation now, might throw a few of my own questions too. He did respond to you on upcoming new comics, so

Of course not.  But it's still one of those questions I'd like answered. If the leader was Harbinger... well... I'm off to go ask a Harbinger-related question now!

[LGTX]

Me and some other guy countered that tweet offering a hypothesis on the Reapers being more of a hive-mind or Geth-like, and Mac didn't shoot that one down, either. Guess we'll have to wait till launch to find out

[didymos1120]

You know, it could be both: sometimes, like when they're doing military-oriented things like invading stuff, they use a hierarchy because it's practical, whereas the rest of the time they don't.

I asked once about Harbinger's rank, forgot to put in the hashtag, sent it again with the hashtag MEComicsChat... hopefully he'll answer it... "at his leisure," so to speak X). Doesn't look like it though. Ah, well. :/

[LGTX]

Yeah, it doesn't. The chat's officially over, I wouldn't hold my breath. Sorry.

You know, I actually bought Invasion #2, but I accidentally knocked over a can of soda, and the poor comic faced the bulk of its sticky, carbonated wrath.

A doubt it's a new comic, but I'd like to be proven wrong:)

[didymos1120]

No, it probably is a new comic: why would he even think it necessary to mention that the final issue of an unfinished mini-series will be coming out? Sort of, you know, obvious.

[G0ldmember]

Thnx Vertigo. That's a lot of work you put in there. Much appreciated!
