this reminds me of metal gear solid 4 the whole thing was billed as snakes last mission but the series would go on without him so the gaming media does what it does best and jumps to a wrong conclusion snake dies what that did was build plublicity for the game and i see the same thing here
The me universe is so big u can have games in the future without shepard being  in them at all but it doesnt mean he is dead

I'd be okay with Shepard's death if there's an ending where he/she lives. It would take away the whole choice thing BioWare is trying to do in the game if it didn't.

Because I doubt that everyone can watch their Shepard die and be happy about it.

This is a moot argument. We KNOW there will be at least one ending where Shepard lives, due to how the NG + is going to work.

I didn't hear how it worked, or know how it worked in ME2, I always reached level 30 before the end and started new games for diffrent imports with diffrent names to keep them straight.  If you died at the end of ME2 couldn't you do NG+, I know you can't import that to ME3 but I fiqure NG+ worked diffrent.  Also how is NG+ going to work for ME3?

But most of the popular stories the main character lives.

Star Wars

Depends on how you look at it: Obi-Wan (main hero of eps 1-3) dies in episode 4. If one would prefer Anakin as 'hero', we all know how this one goes...

Star Trek

Kirk dies in Star Trek: Generations, Benjamin Sisko is euh well sort of dead at the end of DS9, since he transcended or something in his Emissary role.

plenty of stories end with the hero dying in  videogames, classical literature and movies

Vanilla Fallout 3

You can choose to sacrifice that blonde chick instead.

Aliens

You mean Alien 3?

Hercules dies for pissing off his wife
Achilles dies
Odisseus is killed by his son and so is King Arthur

Mythology tends to be a little more tragic and overloaded with hero's deaths as opposed to the happy endings we all get used to in previous century's Hollywood movies. And I thought Merlin was the hero in the King Arthur saga


But by the way, I thought Planescape: Torment had some interesting endings...

In Mass Effect, you could start over with all your stuff. In Mass Effect 2, you could simply keep playing and doing side quests.

In Mass Effect 3, you can do both. Obviously, to keep doing sidequests you'd have to be alive. They revealed this feature way back in Gameinformer.

I didn't see the gaminformer article but I was talking about NG+ where you start a new game with your current level and equipment.

Or Shepard could go on a journey looking for the Exile and Revan, maybe running into the Warden and Hawke along the way..

Most likely.

Anyway, back at PAX someone asked Mike Gamble if the Reapers could win.  He said "yes.” Lots of “Shepard can lose” posts started popping up in gaming blogs. Gamble later posted this to his Twitter feed.

wow, there are a lot of out of context quotes floating around the net today! yep, the reapers can win. its called critical mission failure:)

David Silverman joked earlier that Shep could ally w/ Cerberus in ther same fashion.  "Die and stop playing." 

In a way, ME2 did diminish the impact of Shep’s possible death in ME3.  To one up that, the whole crew would have to die.  IF we believe the hype, that’s certainly a possibility.  But death of the hero does not always equal a satisfyingly tragic ending. Sometimes living w/ the consequences of one’s own actions will suffice.

Then again, ME is supposed to be all about choices.  Shepard could die in ME2, but Shepard had to be a monumental idiot to even get close to being killed.  I’d like to think that Shep could die in ME3 and it would be a lot harder for him/her to live through the game than not.  As for a scripted death for Shepard, I doubt it.   It would ****** off too many people and possibly diminish replayability.  Whatever the case we'll find out in six months.
