I asked a question a while ago that I don't see on the list. It was about how the MP will affect SP play.

I read somewhere that if you are successful on the MP it will help your SP games, but if you do poorly at MP it will affect the SP negatively, or something to that effect. I'd like some clarification, How will the SP be affected if you do poorly at MP?


Your question is answered in the official ME3 Multiplayer FAQ.  This one is basically for stuff not answered in that.  Anyway, if you play MP, you can afford to skip stuff in SP and get the best ending.  If you don't play MP, you can't afford to skip that stuff.  Same ending: two different approaches to getting it.  If you want specifics, you're out of luck: they haven't yet gone into them.  However, there is one thing mentioned in this FAQ: you won't have to a bunch of "grinding" type stuff in single-player if you don't do multiplayer.

Will solo multiplayer be playable with bots, or does squadmates AI can't be re-used because they're more a scripted AI than a normal AI?

Will playing the SP unlock content for the co-op mode, like additional races, armor, weapons, prints, etc.?

Thanks for the reply. However, maybe I didn't word my question well. I wanted more detail than is in the official FAQ.

What I'm asking is, not whether I need to play MP or not, but whether if I do so and fail a lot of missions, will that make my SP readinesss go down. To put it another way, will I build up negative war assets ()ie lose assets) if I fail at MP?

Don't forget maps, which would make sense since the mp is about defending the places Shepard has liberated from the reaper forces.

Can we play as Space Cow Adepts, or are they restricted to combat classes?

So they finally acknowledge that they have zero interest in listening to what people want.

Please provide documentation indicating that the majority of Mass Effect fans don't want multiplayer. You are falling prey to a common logical fallacy -- because you likely socialize with a number of people who don't want multiplayer, you think that everyone doesn't want multiplayer. This is fairly easy to recognize, but you're clearly so invested in your nerd-rage that you have to continue with it, else you'd have to own up to being wrong.

Nah. They've finally acknowledged that they want a completely optional multiplayer that doesn't effect the SP game in a negative way.

Seriously, this is like complaining that your cheeseburger came with fries. If you don't like fries, then don't eat the fries and anjoy your perfectly filling and substantial burger instead.

Good idea for this topic. I'm sure the devs appreciate it.

1) Can we play as Geth?
2) If there are Yahg, will it be limited to those who purchased Lair of the Shadow Broker? Or are there any other tie-ins like this?
3) Will the coop characters have voices? If so, do you choose a voice type and have a racial modulation, or something like that? This has sorta been asked in other ways in the listed questions, but not straight-out.
4) Can we have an early demo/beta? Or at the very least the ability to customize our coop character early (a la Dragon Age: Origins character creator)? Pllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeee!
5) Can we apply decals to our armor and/or bodies (ie Turian faces, etc.)?
6) In the video, the Human is shown using a Death Mask. Negotiations confirmed? Have the stats changed? Or is it placeholder artwork?

Considering I want multiplayer, no.

Is there any reason to think that item stats will be the same from ME2?

If no one will awnser my space cow question, then I want to know if they'll add a cool interactive lobby, like, on board a ship where you can edit your armor, level up, and run in circles together before killing husks....

1) No
2) Unknown. But Yahg are not playable. If they're in the game and co-op at all I doubt there will be any requirement to have played shadow broker.
4) No.

When I was reading my new Official Xbox Magazine, MP will effect the SP's, War Assets (Currency for founding the war's, war efforts.). War Assets will be gained in SP by successfully completing side-missions and the main quests. So you do not need MP. You gain extra War Assets by playing and successfully completing MP mode.

Also the MP has a level cap of 20. You can also play as a Drell in MP.

I am curious if there will be local co-op. For example, if my husband and I want to play on the same system is that possible?

You wont get negative war assets, you will either get zero for that mission (total failure), or a percentage based on how well you did.

Prince Zeel has already asked this question. I added you to it as an honorable mention.

Lets see, a join date of today, and a stupid question on the forums, can you blame me for assuming troll and having a bit of fun with you? :devil:

That's understandable. I suppose I could have chosen a better day to ask that question....but if  I DO go down as a troll, then let it be known that I didn't use 1337 speak!

^ OK, will remove it for now. Just be warned that when it comes to silly questions, I expect a higher standard than what you have already displayed. ;)

I'm curious as to how it's going to work.

Are there going to be some planets on the map marked as "MULTIPLAYER LEVEL ONLY" or something? Because that's going to shatter the immersion that everyone goes on about.
