I don't know if this has been answered already but what difficulty level will the multiplayer feel like. I can play hardcore but when it involves Husks and Scions I usually drop it down to Vetran.

Game isn't any fun lower than hardcore, Id be pretty pissed if they make it too easy especially since you have a team of 4 intelligent (hopefully) crew mates instead of the moronic AI. Id assume they would make seperate servers or something for corresponding difficulties tho.

The Multiplayer beta looked like it was anywhere between Casual to Veteran.  I did notice that the double defence thing was gone at lower levels for ME 3.  That, or I'm misinterpreting information that I see.

No youre probably right, I hope that is just the setting they have the beta on. In ME2 it was too easy on difficulties lower than hardcore to just blast through the weak and stupid enemies and all your abilities were immediately available since you didnt have to strip any defenses. For cooperative play to hold it's entertainment I think it needs to be challenging and require strategic team play since it lacks the intrinsic challenge of pvp.

However, you have to remember not everyone who plays ME gets all the achievements (including hardcore and insanity) so to have that option for less skilled players is a must.  Think about how frustrating would it be if 2 or 3 matches in a row you got players that haven't played above veteran and end up dying all the time because they are not used to the amount of damage enemies dish out.

Edit: Maybe a way to fix this is to have different search options like if you want to play all your maps on hardcore then you would select hardcore as a preference (like in halo reach).

@Derahu

Also very true, since you get to progress and evolve your created online character maybe players will be sorted out by level or "rank" like Ive seen in other online games. Equally frustrating as having noobs in your crew would be veterans coming and stealing all the kills when you're just starting out.

Does anyone know if that ugly male human helmet is locked, or it can be changed?

Yeah I'm not a fan of the helmet, or the whole suit for that matter. Looks like a cheap Space Marine knockoff. Hopefully a color customization will help that out. Still ready to play the game though. I hope they made Vorcha Husks. I dislike the Vorcha alot.

 So I got a question that has been concerning me as ME3's release date gets closer. I love the multiplayer idea and I know it will be fun as everything Casey Hudson and Bioware puts out is pure gold. Casey, I believe, has even gone on record to say the multiplayer will enhance the single player story. Therefore, my question is this: Is the multiplayer mode in ME3 going to be essential to fully enhance and embrace the full single player story? Or is the multiplayer just a add-on in conjunction with the single player? 

Hopefully the latter. The multiplayer is going to be cool, but I really hope it doesn't take a chunk out of what this series has been built on.

Any thoughts?

Casey has stated in an interview that if you don't do multiplayer, you won't get some of the options in single player that would be available if you did. Multiplayer is part of the story.

I heard that although it will be essential to some things, it is not essential and you will still have a full experience. I dont think it effects the game to severely. dont worry it wont be important

Hey, wait a second! The Drell Vanguard @:45 had powers "Biotic Charge, Pull, and Cluster Grenade", while the Asari Vanguard @56 had "Biotic Charge, Stasis, and Lift Grenade"! What gives?
And what would a Human Vanguard get? Has anything come up yet?! Biotic Charge and Pull are my favorites! Also Lift...and Barrier. Can I only have three powers?

[Gonder]

This trailer was beyond epic, I'm pumped for multiplayer!

From everything seen so far, yes you only get 3 powers you can activate. An article from towards the end of 2011 about a visit to BioWare to review the multiplayer had the author choose from a list of powers for the character he created. He chose 3 active and 3 passive. My guess is the list is at least partially class based (i.e. some powers are restriced to a class, others are available to multiple/all classes). This could have changed, since it has been a few months, or it might have only been applicable to the demo the author was shown.

If I were to support a Geth playable character, it would have to imply the Geth made more frames similar to Legion. As much, I doubt bioware would go through the trouble of a new model, they've practically reused Tali, Grunt, random Turian Sodier/Garrus, and what looked like Thane and an Asari Comando.

Still, I'd play it, but that would unbalance the race/class generalization. In which case, Batarian, Geth, and a third would be required to re-balance them. At which point, we'd have too many species to even conceive.

There's something fundamentally wrong about restricting the player based on his race choice. Truly, wrong.

I don't think it's a HUGE deal. Granted, there are some things that should be allowed, but in the end, it seems to make sense.

Think about it this way: certain races are known for being strong in one area or another. It's like Mordin said, the most genetically diverse species in the galaxy is the human race. All the others, you can kind of count on being a certain way.

There is no such thing as a non-biotic Asari. The odds of a Salarian or Quarian with no technical/engineering skills are pretty small. The VAST majority of Turians and Krogan are trained as soldiers and combatants.

These all make sense, right?

BUT, there doesn't seem to be any Asari who ignore their biotic talents altogether. You almost never see a Salarian as a "front-line" trooper, as Kirrahe points out. I can't think of any biotic Quarians off the top of my head. The only Turian I know with NO military ties is the Noveria mechanic. And, as both Wrex and Mordin illustrate, even "Krogan scientists" don't really deserve the title. They are geared towards building brute strength weapons and fixing battle tanks. Not exactly the kind of character who would be seen hacking a mech as opposed to trying to blast it apart.

And, as I'm presuming the first wave of DLC is gonna be, there is absolutley NO WAY to have a biotic Geth.

So, although I agree with you that it kinda sucks, as this will limit customization, it does actually kinda make sense in the end.

There WERE implications that we could see some CRAZY characters in MP.

I mean, I'd laugh my **** off at a Volus waddling around the battlefield or an Elcor lumbering around.

But, think about the fact that there are AT LEAST Geth (Engineer/Infiltrator), Batarians (Adept, Sentinel), and Vorcha (Soldier/Vanguard) to market as DLC, and you could see where there's the likelihood of Geth showing up in MP at SOME point.

Batarians and Geth sure, but Vorcha?  I don't know.

Yo Ballistic, this guys full of ****. It has been clearly stated you
can get every single ending WITHOUT multiplayer. Multiplayer can affect
your game if you want it to, but it is your choice. Think of it as an
optional replacement to the filler missions that help prepare against
the Reapers.

The idea of a separate MP mode with story based decisions that have the ability to impact SP options is a heavy idea. I hope Bioware fleshes this out. It would be neat to see hours of MP having dramatic effects on SP campaigns.
In a similar fashion it would be neat to see SP decisions have the ability to define options, pathsand battles waged in MP. Allies and enemies could also be options that vary based on SP politics.

MP stuff affecting SP can be done easily I imagine.

SP stuff affecting MP not so because you have to take into account that something you did in the SP is different to what others did, that and also even different to what you may have done in a different playthrough.

With that said, the top to some degree also falls into this issue in that you can go through MP stuff multiple times and thus if there are choices involved it can't be recorded to the degree I think you are thinking of.

Now as far as I am aware the only way MP affects SP is it gives a boost to 'War Assets' and if the achievement list is true, it's basically a case of a mission being recorded and a number being added to your score, much same as if you do N7 missions in the SP.

All classes are available in Multiplayer, from what we've heard Human can play all 6 whilst the other races are designated 2 each.
