I've been going through the strategy guide and countless posts on forums, making sure I leave no mission uncompleted. As a result, I could not help but wonder what choices we'd make in ME2 (and might as well throw on ME1) that can influence the third game. We have the Arrival DLC, the collector base, and love interests to name a few.

I want to be sure. We all want to be sure.

Currently off the top of my head are possible/probable choices that will have an impact in any way, shape, or form.

-Helping Aria by persuading the Patriarch to leave, possible assistance in 3rd game (Aria remains in power totally, with the Patriarch out of the way)

-Collector Base decision

-Lair of the Shadow Broker, with Liara as the broker.

-Rachni Queen

-Genophage cure choice

-reprogramming/destroying geth on Legion loyalty mission

-N7 Operative mission, whether to upload the data to cerberus, keep it, or send to Alliance

-Stolen Memories, the grey box, "The Alliance may be implicated"

to name a few




I'm not looking for why certain choices were made, but more of speculation as to whether they will matter or not.

[i know this was created in the ME2 section, that was before i noticed the ME3 section >.< if any mods could merge the thread with this, that would be super]

Saving the council or not will probably make a difference in the way the galactic community see's us.
To be honest letting the council die, might be a nail in our coffin to other species.

I'm rather curious about how large the impact of certain choices will be: like the possibility of playing an almost completely different game in certain parts, not just people not appearing because you let them die in ME1, or alike.

Maybe a little bit in the lines of for example The Witcher 2: if you side with the elf in chapter 1, the second chapter will be almost completely different than when you sided with the other guy.

All choices CAN influence ME3. That said, you should make sure to do every choice possible in both games if you do not want to miss one.

I wonder what happens if you didn't recruit Kasumi. It seems like the Greybox will have a reasonably important role in ME 3 (not a massively important role seeing as not everyone has the Kasumi DLC but still, you can't deny it won't impact ME 3 in some way.)

While tihs is true lol, I was referring to "game-changer" choices

[Candidate 88766]

Choices that will probably affect the course of the war and the story in general:
-The Council
-The Rachni
-The fate of Wrex
-Heretic Geth
-Whether you condoned or condemned war between the Quarians and the Geth (probably not a major one)
-Genophage cure data
-The Collector Base
-Project Overlord (probably not a major one)


Choices that will probably affect the stories of the characters:
-Sidonis
-Maleon
-Vido Santiago
-Kasumi's Greybox
-Thane's son
-Morinth
-Jacob's father
-Tali's trial
-Whether Grunt is a member of Clan Urdnot
-Fate of the guy on Jack's mission


Choices that will probably have minor impacts on the game:
-Shepard's Spectre status
-Decisions on the N7 missions
-How you treated minor characters in ME1 and ME2
-BDtS choice


I've probably forgotten some. I imagine that the choices made on each loyalty mission will affect that character's story, and the main decisions in ME1 and ME2 - Council, Rachni, Wrex, Collector Base, Genophage and the Heretic Geth - will be the ones that actually have impacts. All other choices will probably have minimal impact, but as long as the big ones affect the story then I'm happy.

Whether Niftu Cal is alive

[TheDangerZone91]

I'm very curious about the Genophage cure.

I kept the date for safekeeping. Better to have it and not need it. I think that's a massive bargaining chip if you had to recruit the Krogan as allies.

Apparently the matriarch writings will have some impact on ME3.

<_<   well, crap

but wait what about the League of One medalions? And all the other crap?

I find it far-fetched. But, i'll need to check if i have like all of them anyway. who knows.

THANK YOU i was wondering wether that mission was going to benefit me in ME2 or ME3. I just hope the others make a difference as well, like the League of One Medallions, Turian Insignias, Prothean Data Discs, and the damn Minerals you collect in ME1. Ain't it grand to have be a completionist in video games.

 I don't even remember those..at all..let alone if I even did them! Crud. I only have one playthrough too. Is there an achievement if you get them does anyone know?

Being reinstated as a Spectre has been confirmed to have impact in ME3:  http://www.giantbomb...2011/35-510677/

The Matriarch Writings case is a joke.

Choices that will probably affect the stories of the characters:
-Kasumi's Greybox

I think it will affect the main story, because of this Reaper-looking shape in graybox. The Alliance had done some experiments...

Choices that will probably have minor impacts on the game:

I'll add also fate of data from Cerberus agent (sent to Aliiance, to Cerberus or keeping to yourself)

[sms4008]

yea i never did those matriarch writings thing...crap

Have the developers ever addressed the issue of whether you have to do the important ME2 choices before the suicide mission for them to be imported into ME3? For example, I have a character with whom I just finished the suicide mission with all crew members surviving, but I hadn't gone to the Heretic Station yet when the crew abduction triggered. Can I still do it and have my destroy/rewrite decision carry over into ME3?

It must be, since a lot of us played the DLC after finishing the maingame, so any (if any) decisions from those should be carried over, as well as missions/assignments done after the Suicide Mission.

But it's a good question anyway, was wondering this myself to be honest!

I'm quite sure a dev has at least once answered this before and the answer IIRC was that if you do them post-SM it still acknowledges you doing them. You have to remember that it isn't going to not flag something just because you left doing it till after the SM.

Hopefully we'll just be able tp pick a individual save for import.

Yeah, well it's not completely sure that this will have any effects.

This was later on that same page as in that source.

"What about the other collection quests in ME1? (for example prothean data discs, valuable minerals, locate signs of battle)"

"It is entirely possible that I was lying about the Matriarch Writings."

So, either it's true or then it was just joke. I guess we need to wait some more information, which is not contradicted.

[JockBuster]

The ME3 import of a ME2 game save is the LAST auto save, and not like ME1 where the game save was defeating Saren and before talking to Udina/Council.
In ME1 you had to do ALL the quests, collections and PLOT items (Keepers, writings, discs, trinket, minerals, 3 loyalities) before Illos. In ME2 you could do whatever was left AFTER the SM, i.e. there was "no end of game" until you stopped playing it, and that is the ME3 import save.
Also, from what I have read, ME3 "assumes" that the major decisions and DLC for ME1 AND ME2 were completed by the 'new player' even if you import and did not do them originally (Kasumi's Kassa Locus is in ME3 at the start). There will be some sort of interactive "bring you up to speed" intro (like the ME2 Genesis comic) if you do NOT import or are starting the trilogy from the last chapter. ME1 had 60 levels, ME2 has 30 and apparently ME3 will have 60, and IF you import a ME2 save you start ME3 @ level >30 and not level 1.

Looking at how our choices affected ME2 and how the CB decision doesn't seem to lead to the results we pretty much took for granted, I'm holding my breath for now.
