Infact, it rather saddens me because it would take place before Shepard turns him/herself over, before the game.

Just imagine it from the perspective of either side of a relationship. Someone you know is (more or less) about to go before a kangaroo court. More importantly, they are knowingly going to go before a kangaroo court, despite their own or their loved one's reservations.

Just... imagine how any of the characters would make peace with that. It's a proof of character, but it's also an emotional ringer for any of the Mass Effect love interests. Especially since there's no foreknowledge of a Reaper-jail break.

Sorry, Garrus, that relationship you just wanted to go right is about to end in the trial of the galaxy.

Sorry, Thane, you may yet outlive a second Siha.

Sorry, Jacob, the woman you were willing to say 'I love you' to is asking you to re-enlist in the Alliance even as it prepares to hang her.

Sorry, Virmire Survivor: you may never get a real chance to reconcile, to understand why, Shepard did what Shepard had to do.

Sorry, Liara. You may be the most powerful individual in the galaxy, but all it means is that you are in the best position to watch as Shepard's life slips through your fingers once again.

Sorry, Tali. Another person you love is about to go down as the worst war criminal in the history of a species... only no one will be willing to bury the evidence this time.

Sorry, Miranda. The smiles are only going to be harder after this, when you yourself are a black mark against his name.

Sorry, Jack. You knew it was too good to last.

That is likely wishful thinking. You also forgot Liara there. The promise of always coming back to Liara just got a whole lot shakier.

It's more of a "Yeah sorry but we gotta do this sh*t don't worry though they'll all be kissing my feet after the Reapers actually invade"

[CaptainZaysh]

Wow.

Y'know what? Depending on how they begin the trial, they might be able to sneak this scene in at the very start of the game - a slight expansion on the way your LI runs up to Shep during the ME2 prologue. Shepard saying goodbye to his or her lover (and friends) would be an amazing way to segue into the courtroom.

It's an awesome way to write exposition because Shepard himself will explain why he is going through with it.

I like it.

I'm going to make the Turian Councilor kiss my ring before I help him.

It will be GLORIOUS!

[Twilight_Princess]

and considering how the beginning of ME2 can be influenced by who you romanced , I'd also love to see a quiet moment between shepard and the Li before the trial scene begins, maybe it can act as a flashback.

[TSC_1]

Actually, yeah, that would be an incredible scene. Given their histories, having either Liara or Tali as an LI for the scene would be particularly powerful.

[ThatDancingTurian]

It's a shame that we most likely won't see a pre-trial/pre-arrest scene with the LI. I wish it would have one, if not just for dramatic effect then to establish where the relationship stands and what happened between them off-screen.

The game is set a half year to a year after the last one, so my biggest worry for the LIs is that they'll be in a complete limbo for all that time with no explanation. For instance, Shepard will have never responded to the VS' mail for a whole year, or Shepard will have spent a whole year never deciding whether or not the relationship with Garrus was just 'easing tension' or something more... And then ME3 takes place and they're talking about it like it happened yesterday.

[Fault Girl]

Thinking about it though, what exactly did Shepard do in those "free" months? I hope there is a pre-arrest/turn themselves scene would be cool.

Yeah. This could make for a great opening.

Do DLC and ME2 side missions, no doubt.

[Cutlass Jack]

Well I'm not expecting that conversation though it would be great. But I wouldn't complain at all if the game started with a Conjugal visit

[Mims]

Owwwwch. Never thought of Tali's connection.

I'd really love to see a very brief scene of the ME2 crew separating and Shepard going to trial, like we had with the Normandy explosion in ME2. Otherwise it'll feel sort of disjointed, particularly for people who didn't play the DLC.

It'd also like for it to be clear as to whether or not Shepard willingly goes to trial, or if Shepard is dragged there. It doesn't seem like the sort of thing renegade Shepard would report to.

[Cam-Tal]

Well in the dlc, you can either say you'll turn yourself in, or theres a renegade option which I can't remember; I would assume it's like a 'They'll have to catch me first' kinda thing.

[jtav]

This would be fantastic.

Negative Ghost Rider, that would be my Shepard....Liara at best is the second most powerful individual lol

Perhaps depending on whether you were "renegade" or "paragon" in ME2 will decide that?  Would be pretty cool to see.

I definitely want to see this scene. Although I can't compose any explanation for Max to Jack which won't instantly break her forever

[Cam-Tal]

Yeah, this scene would be really cool; it'll be like in Star wars: Attack of the Clones when Padme and Anakin share an intimate moment before going into that amphitheater kind of thing. It would be awesome

Me neither... it's just... just 

Still, we know that ME starts with Shepard's trial, wich means all an nothing. There may be an opening sequence where Shepard says a quick farewell to the ME2's team, LI included, before /s/he leaves to being put on trial. Surely, in case that happens, will still be a quick sequence and so hardly an hudgley touching thing, but it's possible to have an hint at that, at least.

In fact, considere how much time we invested in the team in ME2 would be really dumb if ME3 just starts with the trial and we find out what happened to the squad and to the LI only after the whole opening sequence.

[Cutlass Jack]

Tali won't be so worried. She knows firsthand you're the best Lawyer in the galaxy.

[CroGamer002]

Well there's gonna be in game sequence what you did in previous 2 games( or decide what you did if not import) so something like that can happen in some sort of flashback sequence.

[CaptainZaysh]

The trouble is that you can't have too introspective and low-key an opening scene. You need to open with exciting conflict.

I think the potential for emotional conflict is incredible - the hero getting ready for his execution hearing is a hell of a weighty subject - but the kind of conflict that has explosions in it is probably a bit of a safer bet for a video game audience (particularly audience members new to the franchise).

Nah I think it's Renegade to grimly sacrifice yourself to help the war effort.  One season of 24 opened with Jack Bauer - the Renegade poster boy - going knowingly into his execution as part of a deal to stop a terror plot.  Nobody had to drag him anywhere.
