That goes against common logic for those who have played the previous games.
Whats this all about, downplaying the point of playing the previous games or the fact that choices never mattered?

[N7Infernox]

Its funny, because I was actually considering this at one point while I was playing the demo. However, I want the Long Service Medal achievement, so...

[Dragoonlordz]

My concern meter just jumped up 30%. You give the impression in your third paragraph that most of it happens regardless of import with some exceptions. That have to rely on nostalgia of past instead of seeing it different to a great extent between import and non import.

Now maybe I am reading too much into what you said or not enough and time will tell but this did not lower my concern, it in fact added a new concern to my list on top of the heavy amount of forced auto dialogue and lack of choices shown in demo two main concerns. Maybe all these concerns will be proven to be not as bad as currently think but only time will tell and I should not have read this thread because it added to my list of concerns instead of quelling the ones already had.

I'm a little weird like that I guess and maybe I am the only one who feels this way.

No, that is not the point Chris was attempting to communicate at all.

[Crimson_red]

I think I might give this idea a try... plus it makes it more likely I can angle a more desirable conclusion out of my primary Shepard.

[Mclouvins]

This is so crazy it might just work.

[Nerevar-as]

Considering that in ME2 playing default meant less camaeos, e-mails (so much for importing choices), and especially Shepard being a lazy full renegade, I´m not thrilled about default ME3. As he said, Shepard didn´t wake Grunt/got him killed - replaced by random krogan, so probably not a big impact on the storyline, just will makes things more personal, and that´s something I´d rather have since the first playthrough.

[abnocte]

I don't think it is a crazy idea, but...

doing so means that I'm playing Bioware's Shepard not the Shepard I created with the options you gave me. 
How I'm to properly roleplay a Shepard whose motivations are unknown to me? I don't know who that Shepard is. 

And before anyone says its the same as the first game with background specific missions... it is not. In ME CC you could read a description of the events in Shepard's life prior to the game start. That info was vague enough, so you could decide how to react to:

- Earthborn -> the guy from the gangs
- Colonist -> another Mindoir survivor
- Spacer -> Shepard's mother comrade

In ME2 we didn't get a resume with Shepard decisions/actions in ME, so I doubt we will get it in ME3. 

I rather play my "screwed up on purpose" ME2 save first....

[Lucky Mame]

I'll play as a default Shep later but my first playthrough will be imported one. I just want to have that full emotion to the game with MY Shepard. I also intend to play with that same save later but in action mode. Would be interesting to see what choices game does for me with my save - see the outcome of that mix.

[AmyBA]

I was actually already planning to do this.

It took me 6 playthroughs of ME1 to setup my "Canon" Shep and I didn't import her into ME2 until my 3rd playthrough. 

My first ME1 playthrough was pretty flawed, I made a lot of mistakes on my character build (was just learning the game) I missed out on a several quests, some pretty important, because I was so excited I didn't pay enough attention to everything, etc. I knew I would make the same kind of mistakes in my first ME2 playthrough because I would be relearning a game and I would be too excited and probably miss out on stuff again, so I created a new Shep for my first ME2 playthrough in order to get the hang of the game and get a feel for it.

I already have a new Shep planned out for ME3 in order to do the same kind of first run through before importing my "real" Shepard.

Sorry Chris. This playthrough started several years ago when I won a digital copy of ME1 on the forums. I want to see how this playthrough ends. There's plenty of time later for experiments 

[devSin]

How about if the first time you play it you turn all the graphics options to their minimums and disable sound. Then you crank everything up to max the second time. It would be so much better!

Yeah, Chris. Crazy.

[Kalms]

Hah! Uuhh. That's actually a great idea!

[Chaia]

 lol errrmmm a yeah crazy but good idea, and I'll probably use the default Shepard at some point, but for my first go I'm gonna have to import one of my own, I'm not going to waste my first run through.

Heck I could bearly get through the demo without wondering what my imported Shepard would be saying differently let alone an entre game

I get what you're trying to say, Chris, but... I can't. It took hundreds of hours to make all those saves...

Even bioware staff troll on BSN D:

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's just chris. It's only light trolling, so it's cool.

Light trolling is best trolling.

[Reever]

I do see where you´re coming from, but I seriously want to have my first playthrough in ME3 made with the very first character I´ve made.
I might then notice the changes in subsequent saves (got enough of those, with many variables, including dead squadmates etc.) and also get to continue my old playthroughs.
Of course, I´ll also make an all new game some time. Later. =)

[Patchwork]

LOL wut?

Are you serious?

I might do a default run eventually but it's not going to be my first playthrough. I have a Shep for that.

[Rob Roy]

Why is this stickied?

[Eradyn]

I only have energy enough for one or two playthroughs (though I enjoy ME3 multiplayer far too much). I'm not wasting them on Bioware's default Shepard.

[StarcloudSWG]

Please unsticky this. If the community is interested in this topic, they will keep it on the first page.

[Phoenix_Fyre]

Crazy! But....interesting...

I may import first then play default last lol

You know they picked the one that killed all the monkeys. Again.

[Pineappletree]

Ah, great, Mr. Priestly - this is such a crazy and at the same time good idea that I don't know what to do anymore!

*Sigh* Guess I have something to think about now for the next three weeks (and it'll probably end in a diceroll)

[schnydz]

sold.

I'm taking it a step further. I'm playing the ACTION mode first, soldier, no dialog selection. Then I'll go back and import my shep and play the RPG mode. I want to see how dynamic this story will be. It'll be fun.

Besides, how often will you have this opportunity with a game??
