Only thing I'm worried about are the endings. I hope they don't suck as much as I get the feeling they will.

There are some, inspired, plot points. And I have no doubt that more than a few of them won't be appreciated.

Don't worry. The ones I read were all, pretty average. They were some of the inspired plot points I mentioned earlier. Although I'm not clear on which version of the script I read. Maybe they've changed them. Fingers crossed. Because average is a nice way of saying, everyone who's spent more than a few minutes in one of those "How will ME end" threads already knows how the game will end. With out knowing it.

I'm not worried about it. I have faith in Bioware. They did not disappoint me with ME1 or ME2. From what I hear, it seems they are combining the best of both games. Sure it'll have it's flaws as all things do, but I know it won't be disappointing to say the least.

I'm not worried. Second installments in any trilogy always have the "unfinished business" factor. They always leave you unfulfilled. Typically they're the bridge from the first part to the third and that's about it.

I do expect the endings to be cliche. Everything has been done before at least several times. Think about it. ******-ant human ship and crew defeating a galactic scale invasion without being a cliche ending? The united galaxy or whatever is just the diversion while the game's focus is on Shepard and the Normandy -- think Star Trek. How can that not be?

Am I scared? For the whole game, not at all. I expect that it will be very good and bring an epic story to a fitting conclusion.

For Miranda's role, definitely. And I'm not impressed by the core team. At all. None of my favorites is on the team, which is very disappointing.

So I'll expect to play a great story with characters I have a lukewarm appreciation of at most. Enough to get bipolar about Mass Effect 3.

Agreed--seeing the core team evokes another fear of mine that I think Mass Effect 3 is doing.

The team is eerily reminiscent of Mass Effect 1's squad . One has to wonder if Bioware is just completely ditching the feel and experience of Mass Effect 2 in favor of reverting the series back to Mass Effect 1's experience.

Yes it's mostly ME1 squad, so what? What's wrong with that? It was the original crew, we original fans wanted. Not all started this series with ME2. Of course we cant have Wrex back, because they decided to him to be killable or somekind of krogan king, which is kinda sad. But most of the original crew is back in action.

Umm...Actually, I played and completed ME1 many times over after it was released, and I would have preferred NOT to 'get the band back together'. I like ME1's story more, because it focused so much on the big issues. However, ME2 focused a lot more on the characters, and, consequently, I developed a much stronger connection with my ME2 squadmates. Found them A LOT more interesting.
I want Jack, and I'm gonna be p**sed if it's just a cameo.

 This isn't a hate thread or spam or anything, but with all of the spoiler reading people basically saying ME3 is the opposite of what we thought it would be I can't help but find myself worried that some of it might be true. I mean, from what I've seen everyone is saying that Bioware has turned it into a TPS and made the focus on deep story take a passenger seat. So is anyone else a little on edge about the whole thing? I have yet to read any spoilers and will not be reading them, but I already prepurchased the CE and I just wanna know that what I'm getting is an ME game and not a shooter with a few negligible choices sprinkled in. I know we Bioware fans are a sensative bunch and that we tend to exagerate things, but still, some confirmation would be nice. 

EDIT: BTW, I'm still hyped like a middle school girl for this game, so ya. 

No. I ain't much worried.

They're backtracking ME2's streamlined features heavily. Mods are returning, XP system from ME1 is back -> no more mission complete nonsense, greater number of power + tons of choice in power evolutions, greater Shep & squad armor customization, no more auto-regenating health (it only regenerates up to 1/5 of the segmented bar), greater economy. And then there's improved combat, new melee attacks, new traversal abilities, new powers, old powers improved, classes improved, mission debrieefings are back (no more mission complete screens), greater party banter & squad interaction. Finally, tons of choices from ME1 & ME2 DO matter. The first script leak was the just an old main plot draft that only briefly showed the general structure of the story. Tons of stuff was changed, added, reworked & improved in the actual script. People discovered multiple consequences to different choices made in all 3 games after further examination AND not just beneficial to Paragon as it was often claimed. The script also shows how much ME2 mattered, not just its DLC.

Yes, many characters are not squadmates, but it would've happen one way or another considering there's been 17 squadmates in the previous 2 games. But they're still all at least decently intergreated, some have bigger role, some smaller. The squadmate situation is the one thing people can definitely be trully disappointed about but that's solely due to attatchement to the characters. Everyone has his/her few favourites he/she would like to see all come back as permanent squadmates, that's not possible.

ME3 seems to be combining the best of ME1 & ME2 mechanics along with great new additions. The only thing I'm worried about is the multiplayer segment. Not that it will be bad, but it that it may be just OK/decent/avarage. There doesn't seem to be any bigger variety in MP missions so far, no twist of any kind. They seem to be all standard 'kill 12 waves of enemies' type of a deal. But we've only seen 2 MP levels so far so I may simply not know everything yet.

Besides that, nothing on vehicle exploration yet. But even if MP is avarage and there's no vehicle exploration, ME3 may still very likely be the best of the trilogy. This time they ain't trying to rework the majority of game's structure into something different (like it was from ME1 to ME2), they're seem to be just taking what was good in both games, throwing out what was bad and then adding new stuff in areas that were lacking in both previous games. And this kind of building on the foundations and experience they've gained working on previous 2 games, on all the different things, features and approaches they've tried in ME1 & ME2 and combining it into rich & proven gameplay experience is exactly what I wanted from ME3 and seems like it's happening.

I'm not sure about that. maybe I read the wrong version of the script but all of them seemed to have potential for a major letdown. I'm hoping I just read it wrong but...

Don't act so condescending, as if those who started with ME2 didn't deserve to get their favorites back. Besides, I started with ME1 back in 2008, and I wasn't impressed with that "original" team either, except for Ashley and Kaidan. Also, it's not mostly the ME1 team, it is ONLY the ME1 team plus three new ones. Why even add new team members when there could be two ME2-exclusives on the team. It's insulting to those who preferred the ME2 team, that's what it is.

Hey look, more arguing and complaining about the composition of the ME3 squad. Don't we have a thread for that already? Or a dozen?

It bears repeating. Even a dozen times.

Apart from the team issue, I agree with IsaacShep that there's little to be scared about.

well most likely the things you care about belong on bioware pulse episodes not on trailers in high attention events whose purpose to anyone with good marketing skills is to raise attention to the game trough action scenes not 2 min of someone modding their guns

Honestly? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried but the previous two games have been brilliant and from what I've seen of the third I know I won't be let down here either.

What do you expect to see? 2-3 minutes of Shep around the Citadel/wherever talking to people and doing assignments/showing off major plot decisions? Because that won't roll, the marketing seems to be intended for the more action oriented gamer. We, the hardcore fans have been told by BW time and time again what ME3 will have to keep us happy. Do you believe such things don't exist just because they haven't been shown in trailers yet?

I wouldn't blame people for doing it, the marketing so far has been terrible for us fans.

Dragon Age Origin was brillian too. (trollface) but honestly, when they claim that "adding ladders to the battlefield" is a new "feature", you know that they haven't made any changes from ME2 too radical to be worrisome.  Guess they decided not to fix what isn't broke. (Now if only they did the same with Dragon Age 2...)

Hmm, I'm not scared of it, but well I'm just hoping ALOT of the leak is "outdated" as BW has said. If not I'll still pay itoff, get my items, turn around and sell it if its crap that same week. Sure its a lose, but I at least get $35 back to buy something worth my money.

I will agree on you that the marketing could be a tad better, regardless of it's target audience, but perhaps they aren't marketing it towards us because they know we're gonna buy it anyway.

As long as the story is good then that's all that matters really.
