I don't know, but The First experience of the game is 'special' and it will be more rich if it's full with details I can recognize, i think :)

This :D

Yep, that really does sound crazy. I intend to that at some point, but certainly not on my very first playthrough. You only get one first playthrough, and it's not going to be wasted playing as RandomShepNumber1.

Allright, Chris is no longer metally healthy to mod these forums.

I agree with priestly, I myself have about 12 saves to import but ille do a default playthrough first to make the import even sweeter :)

I may actually do that, mr. Priestly, however now, I'm still undecided. Imean, I really want to see the end of my Shepard's journey, and I don't really know if I have the patience to play it through with an unimported character first.
I will however, consider your statement!

Yeah...Maybe  :) I did that with ME2, and it did make me appreciate the playthrough with the import. So I won't call you  a fool for suggesting it (I won't call you handsome either ;)).

I suspect I'll be far too curious to try a non-import first of all in ME3, though.

I'm more inclined to import first, then play a default Shep subsequently.

I want my first ME3 experience to be my personal Shep, see how his story plays out

Well, I spent about 100 hours of gameplay for each of my 6 characters (one for each class), sooooo no, I'm still going to import them first. I don't want to lose all that progress from the first two games just to play as a random character to a smaller story.

Hmm /foodforthought

I actually see the logic, having done the exact same thing for me2 (not on purpose just didnt keep my saves). Going back in again with an imported save and seeing all the changes, even things like the news etc.. Actually now I think about it, it made me the rabid bioware fan I am today.

Thanks for the reminder Chris!

You are crazy. But I see your point-it would probably be worth a run later to check it out. But my 1st play-through? Nah, my cannon Shep gets that honor.

Worth a try as my second play through but I can't deny my first play through with a full me1 and me2 shepard.

Sorry but I don't do defaults I am pretty confident that my choices will matter and I have enough different Shepards that with different choices made that I will be able to experience ME 3 in different ways.

Ummm....no Chris, sorry but no can do. I'll probably put dozens of playthroughs into ME3 but one thing I'm not likely to ever do is play ME3 without importing a save.....all my ME1 and ME2 choices matter to me more than most can imagine.

Interesting, tempting, but I'm too anxious to finish my Shepard's story. Instead, you convinced me to do the other way lol. When I finish, I'll do a ME3 new Shepard.

There is only one Shepard. Mine. There is no such thing as a non-imported Shepard or default Shepard, there is only my Shepard. And I find this to be true for each and everyone else's Shepard. I'm commander Shepard and I shall not be playing Mass Effect 3 on the Citadel without importing from Mass Effect 2.

Huh? Are you serious?


There were no major changes that seemed to matter

if you let the council die , the citadel was supposed to be a police state, looks exactly the same. All we see are two mad asari and the occasional "you let the council die" here and there. Missions were not affected

Tuchanka. Wrex is replaced by Wreav. Nothing interesting of note

Conrad Verner for people who did not kill him

The VS reuinion.


and like 2-3 news blurbs


I would not call those major changes but minor tweaks

and that is what i expect for me3 as well

In that plot where the krogan was just a random krogan in charge of a troop, now it is Grunt! And the ending I saw previously with the default guy changes in interesting ways because it is Grunt and he and Shepard have history and stuff (I won't go into spoiler details, but it is wicked cool) and there is SO MUCH more like that through the game. Some major some minor.

Ok, one little spoiler as an illustration, but it is minor. Remember that couple in ME1 on the Citadel debating whether to have a child or not? If you import, they are in the game! If you don't, their role isn't there. These are the little details you pick up only when you know they weren't there the first time.


What? That is Grunt's role? An interchangeable squad leader? Who appears on 1 mission? With some of the usual "How's it going Grunt", "Thanks Shepard couldn't have done this without you" conversation after which Grunt's gone? That is for one of the former squadmates? I really hope you make it sound lamer than it is.

Oh, and the couple appear like they appeared in ME2 having some short and shallow conversation?

Sounds like most variables are exactly like they were in ME2, which is what I feared. Sounds like I'm going for imports and skip the blandest default option completely.

Can we not just do it the other way around?

I intend to do the very same. Not a crazy idea at all.

My first play thro' of ME2 was a "default run". Ok, it was not my first choice, I'd forgotten where I'd stashed my ME1 saves and was too impatient to hunt them down. Enjoyable run; stopped Tali from being convicted of treason, tho' she was exiled. Nuked the Thresher Maw. Udina made sense. TIM made sense. TIM got his base.

Second play thro'; starting with an ME1 save - Noticed loads of subtle (Tali's dialogue on first meeting Shep/ Normany communications) and "blunt" changes (Rachni queen's representative/ Gianna Parasini/ Fisk/ Rana) in the game. Just made the re-run sweeter. Hell, stopped Tali from being exiled that run... hadn't realised it was even possible. And ... another save for ME3.

Many other saves followed.

Dam you, you handsome fool, with your crazy notions!
I get what you're saying, but I can't. Seeing my choices play out and meeting people Ive met before and how that also plays out depending on how I treated them, is reason I heart Mass Effect. Interresting idea though Priestly.
