And now Bioware has made my fill of Mass Effect 3 E3 coverage. Still would like to see Tali though, but that's not gonna happen.

There was a shot of Tali during the interview; she, Garrus, and Shep were on the Normandy.  Same outfit as in ME2, but that's probably placeholder.

Several shots of quarians (looked like the Admirals) around an image that looked like the True Geth Dyson Sphere showed up later; Legion was also at the table.

Thinking on the trailers released so far, another thing is starting to worry me too now. What we've seen looks like the maps suffer from the same corridor-railing shooter problem we had in ME2.

ie.
You start a mission.
You get a starting location.
You move along a predetermined path setting off scripted events as you move through the map.
you end the map at a predetermined point.

Such railing isn't exactly making my rpg senses tingle with joy, tbh.

Could we get more info on wether or not the maps are indeed as railroaded as they were in ME2, or (shudder) even more so than in ME2?


You mean just like ME as well?

Why change a winning formula

Also, at around 25:10, it looks like the Salarian councilor is aboard the Normandy. Hopefully that means his fellow councilors are there.

I can't wait to tell them off for "dismissing" my claims.

Edit: Ninja'd by this:

After I saw the Salarian Councillor on the Normandy I realized that he might be the person who says ''We need a plan to stop them'' in the Fall of Earth trailer.

Welp, you are right.


I'm so looking to having Councilor Airquotes onboard.  I long for the moment when we fly to Palaven, look out the cockpit window, and see a Reaper fleet touching down:

Shepard: Look, Councilor.  (airquotes)Reapers(/airquote)
Valern: Dammit

Yeah.  I just got the video to work without it skipping to the LIVE feed.  There she is!  Terrified by the fact she doesn't look different from ME2, but Liara doesn't either (LotSB).

Did I also see the Salarian councilor?

Holy ****.  See the sphere on the holo display, with the energy source in the center?  That's the True Geth's Dyson Sphere we've heard about.

I wonder what kind of a weapon you could power with an entire friggin' star onhand to drive it.


I thoughtthe outer sphere was the surface of Rannoch, which could mean their Dyson Sphere (or equivalent, Legion only said that was the best analogy) is inside the Quarian Homeworld.

Ok so Paragon- release the dyson sphere by destroying Rannoch, and renegade= wipe out the geth so that the Quarians can re-colonise their planet.

Soo... Garrus and Tali (Han and Leia) on Endor, Joker and EDI (Lando and Nien Numb) flying the Normandy through the outer shell of the Dyson Sphere and Shepard inside the inner shell of the Dyson Sphere fighting Harbinger... WIN!

Just ensure no army of furballs helping Garrus and Tali please :wizard:

So... it looks like powers work this way: First point learns it. Each of the 5 subsequent investments gives you a choice between 2 different upgrade types. At least this is what the interface is hinting at. Unless the interface isn't showing us the whole picture here, there is no "power evolution point" ala Mass Effect 2.

So far looks good. Just needs some meaningful numbers on top or instead of those little bars. My only dislikes are that Bioware is still shoving the obnoxious pre-requisite mechanic into skill choices and that the passive skill is still suffering from the obnoxious "have to forgo combat stats in order to unlock story content" crap.

OoO - is it me or does it look like those nasty prerequisite crap makes a return?


Which is standard for all modern RPG design, pen-and-paper included.


Not really the same thing.  Pre-reqs in RPGs is so you can get better versions of the same thing or unlock more powerful abilities.  In ME2 it was unlocking a different but equal power.  Having to put points in disrupter ammo(anti shield ammo) so you can have inferno(anti armor) ammo isn;t about unlcoking a more powerful ability, it is just there because they are doubling down on the idiocy of their ME2 unlock power design. 


Indeed, pre-reqs can be useful to block the acquisition of the most advanced powers early on, which isn't the case in ME2.
Adept: Pull unlocks Shockwave - Vanguard: Shockwave unlocks Pull :blink:

I wouldn't mind pre-reqs to level up / evolve powers though. The option to max powers like ARush, Charge, Assault Armor and Cloak before even starting the first mission (using an ME1 import) is silly. Especially combined with the Global CD system.

Don't forget TIM watching gleefully as Shepard lets his hate control him in his battle against Harbinger. :devil:

I don't know how they'd explain away something being inside the core of a planet, but they have had 300 years to build it. And the other screenshots make the blue sphere really look like a planet surface.

Also, if there was a paragon choice I imagine it would be to convince the two to live on the same planet - Quarians on the surface, Geth within.

In that analogy?  Harbinger.  Because, as you know, since the Lazarus Project, Shep has been a Reaper.

Building something in the core of a planet is close to impossible. Because you need to remove the core first. Which is most likely several million degrees Celsius hot.

Would be so much more efficient to just build the thing in space.

A mix of M1 and M2.


Side note.  You can see on Shepard's face where his scars from ME2 healed over.   Do you think this is his appearance if you didn't use the dermal regenerator, or do you think it will appear even if you used the dermal regenerator in ME2?

Customization looks great I can't wait. However I hope the Mattock gets toned down if it is in the "stock" part of the game.

Why change a winning formula


It wasn't as profound in ME1 as in ME2, compunded somewhat by the fact that ME2 clearly divided up areas between "this is a mission area, this is where you shoot stuff" and "This is a walk around and talk area. this is where you talk to people". ME1 merged the 2 and also played out some of the missions on the maps you weren't expecting to shoot on untill you realized you needed to pull out the guns, not to mention that not all encounters needed to be solved with guns.

And no, it's not a "winning formula" to make corridor shooters. It's a "quick" formula, though.

And it certainly isn't pushing anything as far as game design goes to make linear corridor shooters...

Very nice very nice indeed i m just curious why they only show M-96 Mattock i know game is in early stage but always M-8 Avenger was iconic weapon

It got the hell out of the Mattock's way for fear of being comsumed by its awesomeness. The firepower pack was received so well by the community its no suprise that the Mattock is taking over.


The Mattock doesn't shoot bullets.  It shoots projectiles of distilled awesome.  It's a man's rifle for man's work, well suited to ruining the day of any who think they can cross Shepard and get away with it.
