Not to mention that all the LIs are badass warriors, and the way that scenario is presented makes it sounds like they're being demoted to a "damsel in distress" that suddenly forgot how to break out of a chokehold. Kind of demeaning, don't you think?

I like the idea of the role-reversal, though, even if I doubt they'd go in-depth enough to let us actually play as the LI (maybe just have them at the forefront of a "Rescue Shep" cutscene). As long as there's no wussy, Hollywood-style helplessness involved, a hostage situation doesn't sound half bad.

To be honest, Kai Leng's skills are equal to Shepard's. If you tried to escape from the hold I am sure he would drop you like an ugly baby (I know, it's been used before ).

woah...I kinda blacked out after said someone is equal to Shepard

I love my Shep but Kai Leng would kill him in a one on one fair fight, let alone Kai Leng just stalking him and taking him out while he was going out for a burger. Sheps a soldier, Kai Leng is an assassin.

Don't get me wrong Kai Leng is also a psychopath alien hater whose only enjoyment in life is killing aliens and hopefully having time to make them suffer while doing so. He is pretty much Cerberus incarnate. I don't like the character, he is just better than Shep at combat IMHO.

Shep and Kai Leng have had the exact same training: the N7 program in the Alliance military.  Kai Leng simply put that training to a different use.  You're also neglecting that many Sheps will have abilities Kai lacks: biotic and tech powers.

Holy crap, how DID no one talk about this concept art?

If that window can be breached by a low-enough energy stealthy enough that whoever is planning that assassination thinks one guys is enough, I'd kill those Cerberus Engineers that designed the ship ... and TIMmy for letting them.

Nonono, you see, TIM - in his incredible wisdom - knew that he might have to kill Shepard one day when he and his guys designed the new Normandy they built in a back door in the form of this window.

Seriously though, Are we even sure this is Sheps room? Look like they redecorated a bit (which of course is entirely possible). IMO it could be any bedroom. Although I have to admit, the idea of an assassination attempt aboard the Normandy in enticing.

Take another look at the ceiling structure. It is the Normandy's upper level, captain's quarters, no doubt about it.

It is sheps room but there is the issue of vaccum kills so perhapse they got him while ship was docked in port? But shep is also effected by emp as the arrival beacon shows. If they have a grenade type one chuck that in first and shep will have issues responding to any assassination attempts.


EDIT: just took another look does shep sleep with his helmet on if so why? Is his trauma from the SR1 finally getting to him?

I don't understand where you're coming from. The man on the bed is an assassin, supposedly Cerberus. He crashed in while the cabin was empty.

 Yeah i noticed it, but I never really thought anything of it since some concept art doesn't get an in-game incarnation

That's the only point of a concept art. It may not be incarnated in the exact same fashion, but it's obviously a scenario design we'll see somewhere through the game.

Would love to see a close quarters fight with an assassin. It will be interesting to see how they manage to get past EDI.

Well they where the ones who designed "her", i'm sure they could pull off some tricks.

Reapers can fix that.

hmm.. good point. Personally i'd love to see a brutal Shepard vs. Cerberus assassin quicktime event get worked into the game. Maybe the assassin depicted is Kai Leng?

[InfoGuy101]

Maybe the assassin didn't break in through the the window but got on board the Normandy by some other means (undercover Cerberus agent posing as a Alliance soldier) and is waiting for Shepard to return to his room and then shoot out the window to make sure he get's kill. Most people taking on Shepard one on one would lose but the vacuum of space has bested him once before lol.

[LGTX]

@Ja5ck, that's what we're all thinking.

@InfoGuy, to expand upon your theory, I think it's more plausible to say that the assassin may be seeing the window as an eventual escape after the job is done. But I still think he's obviously breaking and entering on the concept art.

[Drone223]

Due to the gravity of the situation in ME3 I think its fitting to have a moment where Shepard lets his/her guard down on the Normandy and he is attacked by an asssasin without warning though I hope Bioware comes up with a good way to incoperate it

Think about it like this if you break in via that way you will set of warnings of some kind because of the decompression a assassin wouldn't use that if they wanted to get to Shepard on another part of the ship as it would give him a heads up but if Shepard was in the cabin then it's ideal to catch him off guard however there are some problems with that.

There's the timing of the attack you'd have to get right which if you wanna catch Shepard in the cabin you'd have to wait on the exterior of the hull for a extented amount of time until he enters the cabin or time it just right to have another stealth ship get close enough to put you on the ship without noticing and the Normandy does have windows so you would likely see it coming if it had the same capablities as the Normandy.

Being on the Normandy before you attack Shepard seems more practical to me to get it to work without a hitch but that's just my opinion maybe Bioware have away around some of the problems I see with coming from the exterior of the hull.

I hope to have this option in ME3:
Shepard: "So your Kai Leng, huh? Nice to finally meet you."
Kai Leng: ... * nothing* ...
Shepard: Huh... well, since you're here * throws weapon on the ground*, you might as well take these, you'll probably need them more than I'll do in this fight.

And then get melee the crap out of him... on insanity. ( yeah yeah, I know he's an N7 and uber l33t and stuffz, but my Shepard is that badass).

Can I put down ten credits it *may* be Kai Leng? Just sayin'

It's actually probably Kai Leng. If you've read Retribution, this definitely looks like something he would do.

I don't think the Reapers will ever see why kids love Space Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Their only choice is to indoctrinate the cereal.

I don't think it's in a vacuum, at least it shouldn't be, otherwise the glass, the assassin, and the mattress should be flying out of the broken window.

No. That "getting sucked into space" is vastly overblown (if you allow that pun) in media. If there is not too much air that can push out, you have enough momentum and pose a small enough target all you get is a hefty wind and then it's over.

Yeah, but at least the glass would fly out, and if the guy was standing on the window when he broke it, he would too.

maybe the guy shot a grappling hook into the bed or something similar and thats whats keeping him from being spaced. just a thought.

[LGTX]

Why are we connecting Reapers with Kai Leng? Sure, his cybernetics look intense, but not Reaper-tech-intense. He's probably been augmented by Cerberus.

Then again, there's the whole Cerberus working with the Reapers dilemma, which I really don't want to stir in this thread.

[Dr JewLove]

well the dudes gun is pointing upwards so maybe hes trying to escape.

[LGTX]

It's concept art, he's just striking a cool pose.
