Because I strongly suspect that what's going to actually happen is:  If you want to complete everything in the game,  which is part of what they say you must do,  you're going to have to sit through stuff that makes planet-scanning look like the pinnacle of entertainment.

I *seriously* hope this isn't the case...

From the multiplayer FAQ thread (answered questions):

Q) Will SP require a lot of "grind" (Repeatable Missions) in order to acheive the same level of Galactic Readiness as co-op? Ixalmaris
A) No.

Now that's certainly good to hear, though I wouldn't take it at face value just yet. Nevertheless, thanks for the reference!

After watching the video, i'm happy with what they done. Co-op is what I was hoping for. But they sold it to me. As I have plenty of friends who would definetly buy Mass Effect 3. I think its going to be a great addition. It hasn't dampened the single player experience. I do hope there aren't that many achievements focused on this new mode though.

Sorry if this has already been explained (and if it's a stupid question), but can you play 2 or 3 player co-op or does it have to be 4 players?
The reason i'm asking is they haven't said (atleast to my knowledge) that it's UP TO 4 players, they've only said that it's 4 player co-op.

Pretty sure you can play with 1, 2, 3 or 4 players - however, as far as I know the slots you don't use aren't filled with bots, so the fewer players you have the harder it is.

Ok, thx for the answer

Just wanted to know if i could play co-op with just my brother, or if i would have to play with random people.
I'm not the most social person, so i have some issues playing co-op with people i don't know.

I just read the OXM article. The article makes it seem like, you select your class (Soldier, Infiltrator, etc.) first, then your species type (human, Krogan, etc.), and if you select human, then you get to select your gender. So the article makes it sound like only each species is limited to certain classes (humans excluded) and only humans give you the option of selecting your gender.

[souljahbill]

Also, it says on the bottom of page 61 that (as of right now) there are no fill-in bots.

Then they lied when they said you wouldn't have to play MP to get the FULL single player experience. Why would they ruin my happiness like that? Does this mean I'm gonna have to pay for Xbox Live Gold to 100%.

You can play the co-op offline with just yourself.

Where is this sayed?

I mean, there is different have ability soloing MP content ONLINE, than soloing MP content OFFLINE.

Now here's wondering if being able to get the "optimal" ending purely through SP requires finding all the whatever the equivalent to rare minerals, turian insignias are, scanning,/probe launching for metric frack-tons of minerals, etc.

This is what worries me as well, iakus. I’m also worried about what decisions we make and how that will effect the “readiness rating”. For a hypothetical example, the renegade or paragon choices. If you choose to make a renegade choice and it causes you to lose an ally, or the death of a teammate, is that going to take away readiness points? Will that effect us getting the ‘optimal ending’? If not, will we have to do the multiplayer in order to make sure we have enough readiness so we can get the optimal ending?
Also, it seems what you do in single-player will effect what races you can play in multiplayer. At least, according to this tweet.

If you fail to gain an ally, they won't even be playable in multiplayer. So if you want to play Krogan in MP, you have to make the decision to gain them as an ally in single-player. Even if that means sacrificing a teammate or making a decision you didn't want to make because you're a renegade or a paragon.

 It seems very contradictory to say multiplayer won’t effect single-player and vice versa, when the statements that are made points to the fact that it does indeed.

I really hate this "doesn't need" argument.  There's all sorts of extraneous stuff in both ME titles.  Hell, the entire game doesn't need to exist.  Really, this is an argument from either tradition, or pure personal preference, or both.

Wait, are you saying that RPG's were originally Multiplayer?  Because Ultima and Final Fantasy want to talk to you.

Now if you mean Table-top RPGs, yeah they are social games.  Hell, I work in that industry still.

I'm not going to lie, I'd really like bots. It doesn't look like we'll be getting them (though the developers have not confirmed there won't be bots as far as I know). Call it my parents burning "don't talk to strangers" into my head as a kid, but I don't like going online and playing with people I don't know. And I don't know that many people personally who play ME that I could do co-op with. At the same time, I love getting every achievement and playing through everything a game has to offer, so unless there are bots (PLEASE HAVE BOTS) I'm not sure what I'll do yet.

It's poorly worded, but not exactly wrong. There is a subset of items that all traditional CRPGs need in order to qualify to be a part of the genre.

What that list includes is a bit debateable on certain features, but I think nobody will argue that you don't NEED multiplayer for a game to be an RPG.

So... playing the co-op helps in singleplayer. Does that mean I have to do this for every time I play the singleplayer game? What if the multiplayer is dead after a few months?

I can't be the only Mass Effect player who has multiple playthroughs of both games (i.e. at least 10+ each) and I'm not looking forward to play the co-op each time to get the best ending. Yes, they said it could be done with only one player, but come on, that's not how it's meant, it's co-op.

You know what would solve this issue? Splitscreen offline multiplayer. But I don't think that's an option, sadly.

[Suursmurffi]

Those are not the original rpgs. Just one of the first few digital rpgs......I'm refering to D&D.The very thing all rpgs are based off.

No....You don't have to play it. Read some more.You can get the same rewards you get in the mp in the sp.

Only, we don’t know what that entails, do we? The article in which Casey Hudson states that you have to be a completist and do really well in single-player, and if you do that you won’t have to play multiplayer to get those rewards. Does that mean some decisions you make will gain you as many points as it would if you played the MP? What if you decide to forgo an ally in order to save something else, does that mean you’ll lose readiness?

“If you’re a completist”, says Casey Hudson, “and you do pretty much everything in the single-player really well, then your total War Assets will be so high that you actually don’t have to do anything in terms of fighting this ‘galactic war’. You do have to have a very complete play through, though.”


Hudson warns that, “if you’re getting your butt kicked all over the galaxy, your readiness rating is going to be really low. However, if you have lots of assets in the beginning of single-player, then you can get the ‘maximum ending’. Galaxy at War is an alternate way to get a [maximum ending in ME].”


Notice he says if you “do really well”. How “really well” do you have to do to get the ‘maximum ending’? I completed all missions in ME1 and ME2, but not every time. There were some missions that were so boring, I couldn’t bear to do them again. Does this mean that when I play every ME3 play through 10 times(how many imports I have) I will have to do every mission to gain enough points each and every import?

And if you want to play a Krogan, for instance in MP, then you have to make him an ally in SP or he won’t be unlocked. I think it’s perfectly valid to wonder how this will effect things in both MP and SP. I think it’s valid to assume that depending on the choices you make, you would not gain as many readiness points without MP. Until those questions are answered, no one knows. Some of the statements are pretty contradictory.

I have a message for the creators of Mass Effect, or whoever posts on this forum. But um...will you be able to play Mass Effect 3's multiplayer offline? Like will it have split-screen? Because I don't have Xbox Live, but I would still love to play multiplayer.

I wish that this will be a feature too; but for some reason I highly doubt there will be splitscreen.

You never know, maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be included.

I'm really hoping they take note of the request for bots. ME is my single player story gaming fix, to have parts of it "locked" into co-op (possibly even to the detriment of successful completion) detracts hugely from what has so far been one of the best single player experiences.

The idea of having the co-op though is awesome, just it impinging upon the single player experience doesn't ring so well

 It seems very contradictory to say multiplayer won’t effect single-player and vice versa, when the statements that are made points to the fact that it does indeed.

So let me get this straight.  If you want to play as a krogan, or other races such as turians or asari, you need to recruit them first. If not, I'm guessing the only race we play in multiplayer would have only one race: humanity.
