Yes there's canon. This has been known for a while.

Eveything in the books is left deliberately ambiguous with the exception of the Udina quote. As it goes into great detail about Anderson's dislike of politics, I interperated it as he had stepped down from councillor because he couldn't handle it if he had been chosen, and Udina had taken over. This may have been hinted at elsewhere as well, I think.

How would we ever see the rumored mass effect movie if there where no canon Shep?

Simple, it's about the First Contact war, not Commander Shepard.

good job biting on wikipedia/imdb user rumor.

[Parah_Salin]

That's like the only info there is on the movie. And like the only thing that would make sense given that the whole game is based around the idea of a branching storyline based on player choice.

Parah pointed out the most likely possibility. No one yet is certain about what the ME movie will cover, but the first contact war is the most reasonable option.

Just because there will be an ME movie doesn't mean that it will cover the events of ME1-3. The universe is rich enough to provide plenty of options.

[vader da slayer]

never said it will be about ME1-3. it could easily be about the books, or events that might happen after the game. I once jokingly said to a friend of mine that ME3 will end with the biggest cliff hanger ever and events would resolve in the movie.

but to try and say that its about the first contact war is kidna off. after all the first contact war was: scout patrol sees turians, Turians blast scout patrol, one ship escapes to Shanxi, Turians bombard Shanxi from orbit. General Williams surrenders to turians, SA 2nd Fleet Shows up and blows away Turian group. council calls for cease fire when they find out about the Turian military mobilization. the end.

would make for a very boring movie considering we already now every event that goes on in the first contact war and it wasn't really a war to begin with. not to mention the imdb article saying it was about the first contact war was posted by a user with no source or any backup information on it.

General Williams only surrendered after weeks of guerilla warfare.

We all know everything that happened during WW2, but that hasn't prevented them from making very successful movies out of that historical event that covered less of a time-frame than the FCW. The FCW is a viable candidate for a movie because it is so short. A movie about it can cover all the major points without being 5 hours long. It seems to me that the FCW is a prime candidate for a movie.

Weather or not the movie will actually be about the FCW is really besides the point, though. The original issue was that someone asked how there could be a movie without a confirmed 'canon' storyline' an easy possibility to point out is that it could be about the FCW.

Maybe the contact war will be lets say the end of the movie ? when in the final sequence the human race is granted acces into the galactic comunity


And maybe the rest of the movie will be like humans found the cache on mars, "understood" the technology, uses it, Finds about Element zero and biotiics the new founded religions on Earth (it is mentioned in the codex of the first ME if not mistaken.


But this is all speculation and theory on my part and I could be very off .... but ... you never know

Yes, a canon storyline actually exists.



It's the one you create.

Just reading Retribution and it seems Shepard let the council live, but also saved the collector's base for Cerberus research. Does that make it canon?

Favourite quote so far:

"Third floor," Grayson said. "Take the stairs. The elevator's a little slow." 

Of course it's canon, it's what MY Shepard did after all.

[tobynator89]

Having read the books, it seems to me that they've done everything they can to keep shepards actions and gender as ambigous as possible.Which basically tells me that these things happen regardless of the choices in the game.

In other words: No canon.

[Malanek]

Many players have multiple playthroughs with different events that happen. This is just another example of a different reality that shows what happens with different choices. Why is that so hard to accept? BTW, Game > daylight > Books, in terms of importance. The books exist because of the game, not the other way around.

[AresXX7]

I wouldn't say the novels follow an actual 'canon' storyline, but more along the lines of the 'default' one. (i.e. if you've never played ME1 first)

As for Udina being the Counselor, it only makes sense for the book since it would be extremely hard for a Counselor Anderson to go off on a mission without drawing too much attention.

IIRC, it is never explicitly stated that the tech, from the CB, was salvaged from an intact base, or not.
(just think about when you click on the option to salvage tech from the base, for credits, at various points during the SM - it had to go somewhere for Shep to get paid)
