"If you import your me2 character to me3 there will be huge rewards beyond the inherent reward of continuing your story"

I think all the protestations about ME3 being the best place to start the trilogy is just for marketing as they don't want to put off people who haven't played ME1 and ME2 by making it sound like they won't get the most out of it without playing two other games that aren't as good.

I believe the whole "this is the best time to play ME3". Is let people know that the game will have an ending and will have A LOT of action.

This is silly. You want other people to be denied access to content? Why? What difference does it make to you? Do you want the ability to smugly rub it in their faces?

I've played both games and I think this suggestion is daft.

[cactusberry]

I think we should get a little extra things maybe, but I don't understand why people want to be rewarded for the "long, hard" hours they put into the other games. You didn't work. You played a video game, which was completely your choice to play.

I would sure freakin' hope So! It was near impossible to play the way I wanted to in Me 2 Because My Ren & Par wasn't high enough!! So I beat Me 1 Till I hit the capped level of 60! Finally could be Paragon And still Make the Bartender drink it! & threat who I wanted to!

I mentioned in my post that i don't want people to be punished. What i'm talking about is some features/scenes/rewards that are exclusive to people who completed the last 2 games. I'm not saying that we should have twice the content, but a little something here and there would be nice.

Well BW already undid one thing about possible ME1 playthroughs, Anderson is no longer on tne council no matter what you do.

I refuse to believe that unless I see it with my own two eyes.  All of my playthroughs except one have Anderson on the council.  If he leaves for some b.s. reason, I'm gonna be pissed.

Also, I hope that your choices actually matter.  Pandering to newbies sucks.  I mean why in the world would you start a trilogy at the end?  Ugh.

Unless you want people to start at the end and then go buy the first 2 games (ie make $$ profit), boost sales. Otherwise DUMB! Who goes to movie and sees the ending before the start? CH has said that the decisions in ME1 (and ME2) WILL show up in ME3, which ones, how will they affect the outcome...wait and see.

[Chuvvy]

To be fair Hudson said that about ME2, probably said about ME1 and will say it about any other Mass Effect game that comes out. Just PR. If you say "Well, you'll be sort of ****ed if you haven't played all of them." chances are you won't get many newcomers.

[Raiil]

I doubt it, and I don't support it, because I don't want to hose over Playstation players. Or myself, for that matter; I managed to slog through ME1 exactly once and have since been using the disc as a rather elegant frisbee; when I wanted to 'start' again I downloaded Genesis. And even then, I've missed out on content simply because a lot of the quests aren't earmarked as important and therefore automatically not done.

[DarthSliver]

Well I said earlier a Achievement/ Trophy would be nice if you imported a Shepard from the first game. I mean there are people who try to get 100% in that reward system when they play games. Only thing is PS3 version will only require ME2 because PS3 was never given a chance to play ME1.
The Trophy will require you to have imported a Shepard from ME2 as the Achievement counterpart would require you to import a Shepard that was made in ME1 to ME2 than to ME3. This would make players if they want the particular Achievement/ Trophy have to go out and buy the previous games. I actually dont see a fault with the idea because there are those crazy people who like to get all the Achievements/ Trophies for the games they play.

[Terror_K]

I think players who imported through all three games SHOULD be rewarded for doing so, and generously. I'd like to feel that it was all worth it and there was plenty of stuff that paid off that was from what I did and couldn't just be summed up by a silly comic intro completely. I was very happy that the likes of the Fist, Gianna Parasini, Helena Blake and Shiala ME2 content that was determined by your importing.

Then again, if it had been up to me ME3 would have been confusing as hell if people had come into things in the end and I would have designed it so playing the previous two games was damn near mandatory.

I agree wholeheartedly.

[Bobad]

Shepards that completed 1 & 2 should get a torso tattoo stating " I went to Ilos and I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt!".

[Warkupo]

I don't need an additional reward for having gotten to enjoy the previous titles. That's like giving me ice cream because I ate some cake.

If anything, as ME1/ME2 players we'll see ramifications to all our actions, and I think what's also more important is that we'll remember having MADE these decisions when we played the games. The power of nostalgia and feeling everything come to a head in ME3 is a big enough reward versus someone jumping in at ME3 and picking some random choices for ME1/ME2. That being said, I think a little bonus for all the ME1/ME2 vets is definitely good too!

[Funkcase]

Well people who played ME1 had more content in ME2 than people who didn't and PS3 users. Old characters you helped out appearing and such.

Anyway both games were there own reward.

Give people who are importing a file that goes all the way back to ME1 enough bonus minerals(or w/e the new time sink mini-game will be) to never need to actually partake in said mini-game.

No one misses out on content but the original fans get a very welcome bonus.

[mjh417]

I think an achievement is the simplest and smallest and most likely thing that better be done for those who completed the entire trilogy with the same Shep or a trophy for PS3 players who did ME2, something for PC players as well who did all 3. I don't think we need any exclusive mission or content as long as all our choices matter and effect the ending we get. I also think imported Sheps should and will get more powerful starting skills and powers, more credits, increased starting Para/Ren points, the full library of weapons (though even new players should be able to get them all in some other way), greater recognition form past game characters based on choices. I hope new players dont default have everyone survive the suicide mission, that would be lame, but all other big choices should be allowed to be made in the intro for new players.

I wonder if there will a game-spanning easter egg like that thing with the pantaloons in the BG series.

And I wonder if something will come from having opened that Prothean artifact on Eletania with the trinket you get from Sha'ira.

And if something will come from having acquired that Prothean artifact in the Firewalker DLC.

Small things like that which don't necessarily have a big effect but flesh out the universe and its history a bit more would be reward enough for me.

That would be good.  I liked researching upgrades, but the mineral scanning took up so much time, it was every bit as bad as the Mako stuff.

I don't remember the exact quote but i remember Casey Hudson said players new to the Mass Effect franchise will get get as much access to the game as the people who've been playing it since the first. Am i right on that? I hope that's not what he meant because i think people who played god knows how many hours completing the majoring of the last two games should have at least 1-3 more hours of content in Mass Effect 3 than brand new players.

If new players can pick up Mass Effect 3 and have all their squadmates from ME2 survived the Collector Base, i think that'd be very unfair to the people who got the perfect ending in Mass Effect 2. If they can choose what decisions they made from the last 2 games at the beginning of ME3, then there wasn't much point to import saves was there?

I'm not saying people who didn't play the last two should be punished. But people who did play the last 2 games should be rewarded. And honestly i think there should be a good ending that brand new players can achieve, but i think there should be a 100% Perfect Ending that only people who played through the last 2 games should be able to get.

So what you are saying is that the content that would be abailable for you for having a save file from the first two games shouldn't be abailable to new players...? Why exactly? because it's important to make "you" feel special? The new players don't matter.
Let me tell you something, what you get for having played the first two games is the experience of actually doing it and not having some cutscene tell you what happened. Nothing else and nothing more.
I personally played the first two but the first one was on the pc since I don't own an xbox and and second on the ps3, I'm planning to get me3 for the ps3 so I shouldn't get the same content you get? go to hell fanboy.

[billywaffles]

In the end this is all stupid because I really doubt me3 will attract more new players (who will OF COURSE skip entirely me1 and 2, in the eyes of bw). Or at least there is no garantee it will happen. It could even be the opposite (see: Xenosaga, FF, WoW, etc.).

[Cancer Puppet]

I'm hoping the Nihrali Batia quest from ME1 finally pays off. Little things like that and the encrypted information obtained from the dead cerberus agent should only be resolved or have a benefit for people who played previous entries in the series.

I've heard Casey say that ME3 will be the best place to start the ME series, which to me says exactly what your talking about. 

I'm hoping that that's just marketing spin, because it makes literally no sense.
