As the title says, how do you think your decisions in ME1 and ME2 will effect ME3?

I think that the decisions won't really decide wheneither you're able to beat the reapers or not. Lets face it, took the fleet of the council races and humans to take out one reaper. We'll be able to beat them by some plot twist I believe.

The decisions biggest impact will rather be in how the galaxy looks after the game is over. Give the base to Cerberus in ME2 and humans will trive, at the consequence that TIM will be more influent in the galaxy.

Save the Rachni and you'll have less planets for yourself later and need another race to share the resources with.

What do you guys think?

It will affect the name of NPCs you talk to, as well as the model they use for those NPCs.
See Wrex/Wreav in ME2 for clarification.

I'm thinking, not much. Judging by what I've seen of previous games, i think ME3 will not be that different.

ME2 barely changed at all beside a few cosmetic stuff. DA2 was not impacted at all.

So no, i don't think ME3 will get much of an impact.

[HypnoBlasto]

This is the conclusion of the trilogy, so i expect more than ME 2 in this area.

[Lumikki]

Don't really much care. I hope they have some small affect but not too big. I'm more interested to close some open stuff than how big effect past have.

I hope that if all things can't be concluded in the main game then maybe some DLC will bring the storylines to a close. Like with the Rachni queen, I expected more than accolades from her in Me2. Hell, if she couldn't trust me enough after I spared her life to let me know where they were then maybe I should've killed her. The Council was handled in a way that dissappoints me to this day. Saved them which was a huge decision and they still don't show full respect or say, "Here's some armor Shep we made studying the destroyed ship." no, they were abject morons. And all you get is "We can't help because of Cerberus". If theey couldn't have been handled better, I should've killed them.

Rana Thanoptis should have had a bigger role to play other than the similar situation encountered while recruiting Grunt. The scene was funny but it wears thin the second time around. She has information that could've been given regarding the Reapers weapon of indoctrination. Same with Zhu's Hope. meeting Shiala was a great way to tie up Zhu's Hope although I think it could have been better instead of just helping her again. Like Rana, Shiala is valuable because she has info about indoctrination as well. And since they're both Asari, Samara could have melded to get the info.

Everyone by now knows how the romance decision was handled so lets move on.
What about Darius from the "Negotiation" mission. He needed a bullet and Admiral Hackett tried to set me up as the executioner. And yet in ME2, no mention of Darius and through DLC, Hackett has seemed to forgotten that he set me up while asking for my help again.

There are many other smaller decisions and larger ones that need to be resolved and I hope they're handled better in the final game or through DLC. It's difficult I understand but giving players the choices to make shouldn't in the end be taken away or made to be not important. Some people play how they are in real life, honorable and some play just to escape and enjoy the ride but between the two styles of play, one thing remains the same total closure.
Sorry for the long reply.

I tihnk if saved Queen, the geth, and wrex, the will be the core of your fighting force against the Reapers, but you will still need recruit more help.

See Wrex/Wreav in ME2 for clarification as to why my above sentence isn't true.

Fixed to confirm the truth seeing as you just labelled something which proves that it is more than just different name/model of NPC.

If you think Wrex and Wreav are completely the same other than name/model then either you aren't that bright or just plain didn't bother paying attention.

I really expect more in this area then ME2 like tere are a number of small choices that will hopefully have a greeat impact from ME 1 in ME 3. Anyone remember the one racist towards the end of the gsme in ME that asks for your support back home in a election, I forget his name but was part of the Terra Prime Party, but if he did get into office or not it should affect politics back home even if earth is under attack.

[Mister Mida]

Not getting my hopes up on having ME (1) and ME2 to have much impact on ME3. But on the other hand, since ME3 is standard gonna have an interactive comic to make choices prior to the game, which means even the newbies can make some ME and ME2 choices, I may be pleasantly surprised.

But so far: nope, I don't think it'll make that much of a difference.

Charles Saracino (link: http://masseffect.wi...harles_Saracino ) is who you are talking of, sadly if the Wiki is to be believed there was a news report about him that was cut from ME2

Well I'm hoping, being the last game, it allows for some more threads to be tied up and what not, since they dont have to worry about variables carrying on to the next game.

Which I understood a little about ME2.... i mean they even said ME1 events wouldnt change things ENTIRELY but "give the game a different "feel" so to speak. Which in effect is true, as my 13 playthroughs at least a few NPCs/dialogues are different here and there. Nothing MAJOR, but a nod at least.

[wolfennights]

Emails, some alternate dialogue, maybe an extra mission or two. But all in all, it will be the same.

[Cainne Chapel]

Of course, almost forgetting, I'm sure Dead squadmates will effect certain things.

Granted they'll probably just replace them with another NPC, but there was a difference in dialogue between Wrex/Wreav I felt and of course if Garrus/Tali are dead, what to do about 2 squad members being MIA?

All that will remain to be seen I guess, but I do agree with wolf, at the end of the day the difference wont be TOO major i think.

Thanks and that is a shame that got cut.
