Artistic changes are likely.

Garrus does also look a bit different in the demo from what he is in ME2. Not by much, but evidently so.

Here you have it:



The blue parts on the right of the image are from Shepard's butt, not part of the icon itself, but looks like the armor of Garrus, xD. Sorry for the blurry image.

To me it looks exactly the same on the picture as in ME2.

Yeah, it is very similar, but mirrored to the ME2 Garrus and for the rest ... well graphics are too blurry.
It would however be odd if they'd redesign Tali quite a bit and only mirror Garrus, I give you that.


But well ... I bet with Kaiser Shepard it is Tali/Quarian as opposed to his/her Asari theory, and I'll look forward to finding out.

You're right I just noticed it's mirrored, but it's because on the screenshot I took it was on the other side (left), when it's on the right it looks to the right, I can assure you. Tali's one was on the same side as in the video (left) and it looked to the right. I think no matter the side Tali's icon isn't mirrored.

Would you want me to find a mirrored icon of Garrus? *Sigh*

After all this fuss, I'll LMAO if it turns out to be Shiala.

It would be great if Aria would be temporary squadmate, especially if
the mission would be Cerberus related. It would even make sense, based
on what had happened in novels and comics, because there is this hate history between Aria and Cerberus.

Also if it's not placeholder, then I really hope that it would be Aria. I really don't want another random Asari nor I want that BW had changed Liara, again.

But I can't help but think that what if this whole thing was unintentional spoiler, mistake made by this one worker, who forgot Aria being there? Yes, I know this is not likely, but accidents can happen.

[Homey C-Dawg]

Definitely Aria. Placeholder excuse is pretty transparent.

Lemme give some advice to those who aren't familier with Biowares pre-release behavior...

Don't believe anything that a bioware employee says about ME3's story to these forums right now, especially Chris. From now till release they will only tell the truth about gameplay mechanics.

[Angmir]

No it is certainly a Krogan Female !! Or a darkspawn...

Or wait it is Niftu Call in the wedding dress ...

[shenlonzero]

probably liara, or it could be aria.

Or her portrait anyways. Pretty sure it's not Liara. Unless they changed her color again.

From the looks of the area it's that Omega docking area from that ME comic. So it may be Aria as a temp member.

aren't there cerberus symbols on the walls?

Considering how unfinished it is in regard to texture and wallpaper I don't think that really matters.  And it could be a Cerberus wing of Omega. Sounded like Aria gave them their own docking area.  But I thin it is more to do with them just throwing in doors that alreayd exist before giving it it's own paint job.

I have no idea who it is. I haven't played the area she's working on in that clip, so I can't say it is Liara, Aria, unknown asari #743, etc. When we make games, we slot in whatever placeholder art is available. Just because it was an asari image, it may not have even been an asari squadmate, it could have been a human or krogan or whatever. It is much more likely that it represents "female squad member" than an actual asari squad member.

Still, have at the speculation till you see the real thing.

 
So someone said, "Let's make a brand new Aria looking placeholder to use that will represent any squadmate despite the fact that we already have pre-existing placeholders from ME2 and liara/garrus placeholders for ME3."?

Odd.

[Iron Waffle]

Anybody think that looks like Benezia? Just a little?

Anyway, I wouldn't get your hopes up, even though the skin tone does match Aria. The way I see it, one should always expect the worst. That way, you can never be dissapointed.

[Complistic]

So we basically came to the conclusion that it is Aria.

Welp, that's one more squad mate we figured out before bioware announced them officially. Though if I had to bet, she's probably temp.

Out of curiosity, which is the other squadmate?

IIRC it was Garrus. 

[Complistic]

I was kind of referring to the ME2 squad mates.

[medcsu]

My workmate was able to enhance it and give it more clarity (trying to post it from fotki.com but I guess it is too large and I am not very knowledgeable with computers). Anyhow, it is most certainly an Asari (for those tards that claimed it was a Quarian), and most certainly has Aria's markings on the side of the head. If someone knows how to shrink an image on fotki and can post how, I have the larger image that is much, much clearer to prove it.
In addition, it would logically make sense that such a well known actress had a bigger role, as well. Especially considering how much Aria has been built up in the comics.
Anyhow, take my word or don't, or explain how to post it here (as others have) using Fotki because it most CERTAINLY has the same facial features and markings of Aria.
Further, the base itself resembles the space station (when enlarged) that you begin ME2 on (where Shepard wakes). While I cannot give a certainty on what it is, I can say quite confidently that it bares great resemblance to the Cerberus research lab from ME2 (not saying it IS, just saying it looks like it).
One could easily deduce, given this information, that this is indeed Aria who is helping to liberate/destroy a Cerberus facility that is near Omega.

Hope that helps.

Hmm well the icon is definitely an image of an Asari that's for sure. But given how early that stage is in development it could very much just be a placeholder. Though it seems rather complete for such a purpose, which means there's probably some actual intention with its design. I have a few thoughts on the matter...

1) Could just be very early concept art for Liara. Who knows how much they may they have fiddled with her look at the start given that almost every character seems to be going under serious re-design.

2) Most likely an icon for a Temp. Asari squadmate. However given that level doesn't look like Thessia I doubt this has anything to do with the Asari which rules out the idea of it being some random Asari on the homeworld. To me the level looks like a Cerberus base. Given the history Aria/Aleena has with Cerberus I can easily see her joining Shepard to get back at them.

3) Could be a new squadmate. I'm fairly certain ME3 will have 6 Permanent Squadmates which means we're still one short. All class roles have been filled in except for the Vanguard at this point. And a Vanguard is a prime role for an Asari to fill in. Though it seems a bit odd having two Asari on the squad, unless there's some other explanation for it such as to replace a potential dead character.


All things considered I'm going to say it's probably a squad icon for Aria as I see it being fairly reasonable to assume Aria might team up with Shepard on a particular mission.

Hi Brenon, Thanx for the reply to the thread. If it is not Liara, could that mean it is...

Aria
Asari Councelor
Shep's and Liaria's Love child sent back from the future
Shep's and Samara's Love child sent back from the future
Smurfette (because she too is blue)
?

It *could* be all those things :happy:. A lot/most/all? of those are pretty unlikely though...
