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.

 

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

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.

 

A valid point lol.  Touche messere, touche

How funny would that be, the developers pull a 180 on all those that romanced Tali.

After Trail:
Shep- Oh no, Tali died from infection. Well at least she didn't die a virgin.

I like to think my Shep knocks some heads and breaks a few arms before being dragged off to court.

At the end of Arrival, it seemed like my Paragon Shepard was going to go to court willingly, only because 1) it would be expected of him and be following correct procedure and 2) have his place to make his stance about the Reapers.

Dumb user is dumb, ignore that and move on

Well, if the trial is NOT the first scene, then it would be nice to start with the arrest itself. The arrest could be after a firefight or as part of a "surrender to authorities" scene.

I would want Shep to have some sort of goodbye to the LI in ME2 BEFORE the trial. And it would be nice if Shep could somehow protect the squad and crew from arrest or capture.

If it's not possible to shield Shep's peeps from imprisonment, it might be nice to break them out of jail. .... Just saying....

Apparently Shepard gets arrested, but don't quote me. One guy from IGN who's played ME3 said as much in his preview of the game.

In ME2 there was, as hint to the ME1'romance, the ME1's LI that cames to warn you of Joker, it's a sequence of a few seconds, but a nice touch indeed. It shouldn't be so hard to do the same in ME3 with the ME2's LI. Only this time with a proper goodbye and quick kiss/hug: it's not a thing that requires tons of dialogues or so. 

The jailbreak is another interesting idea... let's say that the LI is one of the returning squadmates: they may be arrested toghether with Shepard, and going to rescue them before leaving earth would be nice. BioWare it's not new to the jailbreaks, so it's a possibility...

Also, Shepard may ask to Liara to keep the squad hidden somewhere before going on earth... and then we returns to the "farewell to the LI" scenario, only with T'Soni too included as possible LI involved in it.

Cool story, bro

Awesome thought/idea Dean. But you're probably right we won't get to see it :/

I hope they weave our LI into the trial. Romancing Miranda/Jacob, they bring up your "affair" with a terrorist. Romancing Liara or Garrus.. they question your humanity. Stuff like that.

My Shepard did what he had to and isnt going to be punished willingly. The Alliance is gonna need a battering ram and N7 team to get to my Shepard because he is gonna be sitting in a one way entrance room loading his shotgun.

So your Shepard is fine with sacrificing 300,000 other people to slow the Reaper invasion by a couple of months, but won't sacrifice himself to help the Alliance build a coalition of allies against the Reaper threat?  Whataguy.

Dangerous choices yes,  strictly speaking...  it's almost like willingly sleeping with someone with a severe std just for the 's.  It's dumb,  its wrong,  and I feel horribly sorry for any Tali that was put through it.

Damn right I am. They abandoned me in ME2. Not gonna make their job easier for em.
 I also hate Batarians so I didnt even wince at that decision. I didnt even try to send a warning message to the Batarians before I did it.

@Dean great idea :happy:

CaptainZaysh wrote...

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).

There is a way to have good exciting opening with fire fights and Reapers blowing things up and whatnot and have the emotional stuff to. 

Let's say the game starts in the court room the preceding are well under way, Shepard is answering accusation left right and centre from a over zealous prosecution then BOOM the Reapers attack with hardly any time to think Anderson get's Shepard out of the court room and from then on the Earth demo we saw at E3 would play out until we get on the Normandy.

Now aboard the Normandy Shepard will look out at what's happening to Earth. As Shepard walks around the Normandy he could have flash backs of the last time he was on there which was most likely when he was captured or gave himself over to the Alliance and the last time he spoke to a love interest. 


But they'll most likey just start with a trial and go into other stuff lol.

This. I'll be waiting in my room with my phalanx, a whole lot of heatsinks, and a nice singularity waiting at the door for them.

I didn't sacrifice anyone. It wasn't my choice.  Hell, I tried to warn them. The Alliance may drag me off to a kangaroo court, but they're going to be doing it with a lot less guards than they started out with.

My intro to ME3:

Long range shot of Illium city
Mid range shot of a pleasure palace (like in LotSB)
Interior shot of palace suite.
My Shep taking Miranda to Pound Town when all of a sudden a bunch of Alliance soldiers bust in screaming for me to not move.

Shep, "Kind of hard to finish with all of you dudes looking at me."

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.

The game is set 6 to 12 months after ME2, but that doesn't mean Shepard was arrested after that time had passed and then put on trial right away.

What I think could happen is that she was arrested shortly after Arrival, and then she was interrogated for months about what happened with the Relay and her link to Cerberus, which is what Alliance officials want to do according to that email to Hackett in LotSB. There could then be a timeskip to some months later to the trial. That'd explain why the squadmates are scattered all over and how the Alliance had time to upgrade the Normandy.

If so then Shepard's relationships could just continue from where they left off without making assumptions as to what happened offcamera for a year .

My Shep is a giant douche to all but his friends. Plus since I have yelled out ridiculous things during sex (including but not limited to Yahtzee and I bent my wookie) I don't see a problem with Shep making a snide remark.

For the record, no Shepard actually got a choice in the first part. Thanks to being knocked unconscious more times than Lois Lane in a Smallville episode.

No, the player had no choice. Shepard did, but every Shepard in the canonical multiverse chooses to nuke a relay.

Sort of like how every Shepard stops the Reapers in ME1, no matter how much the player might not want to.

In soviet russia... Ah screw it, ANYWHERE lawyers need Shepard!!!
