what was the major spoiler? I am so desensitized to spoilers at this point.

6:00 minute 'till 6:15.

...damnit why did I look.

I always thought he was on a reaper during ME2

Haha the part where they were trying to create Tali's face is hilarious!

Technically, Luc0s is correct. The caption reads as follows "One of the plans on th drawing board was to have The Illusive Man turn into a Reaper creature for the final battle. Eventually, this plan was scrapped, since we wanted to give players the satisfaction of fighting a character they knew rather than a random creature. The design implies that the Illusive Man's weapon is his intelligence, not his physical strength."

Well, D-roy, for you and some others this isn't a spoiler, but I put the warning sign because it might be spoiler for other users - it's simple decency and respect for others that are reading these forums. These pictures are not common knowledge yet. I apologize if that was misleading too much. To be honest, I didn't have other chance to see the art book, so it was a spoiler for me, major one and even if it weren't the case, I'd still do the same.

You don't understand. D-roy is right, it's not a spoiler, not even to you.

It's not a spoiler because it's not going to be in the actual ME3 game! The idea was scrapped.



So the Illusive Man page is NOT a spoiler for ME3.

Even better then, less predictability . Good this one is cleared now, though let me quote what D-roy was so kind (no sarcasm here, feeling I need to be clear on this, too many times people misinterpret what has been written) to
give as info:

"One of the plans on the drawing board was to have the Illusive Man turn into a Reaper creature for the final battle. Eventually, this plan was scrapped, since we wanted to give the players the satisfaction of fighting a character they know rather than a random creature".

I assume they didn't mean that TIM won't be suffering from some form of nasty nanites messing with his mind and body, they just stated they scrapped out those strange cyborg forms that are around TIM's portraits (that's why I bolded that sentence). So, we won't be seeing TIM as those monstrosities around his portraits, but that doesn't exclude the fact that he actually may be suffering from some form of mutation cause by alien tech in him, unless there is more info on it in that book. He would become 'random creature' indeed if they changed him that much, but if he kept his features it would be him in the eyes of players, just changed mentally with side effects on his body. So I guess, we'll see tha moment in the game itself.

I suspected at the very beginning of playing ME2 that TIM must have some kind of technology installed in him to keep him alive, and that he needed to stay near that star as a power source. Now, it's clear that the tech is Reaper. He probably thinks that we can utilize Reaper tech to become immortal or something, that it's the next step in the evolution of organic life.

Even if the uber giant TIM/Reaper was scrapped (thank for that bioware) it's not assured that the less morphed version of him will not be in the game (the one sitting with all the cables).
That will not bother me and actually looks kinda cool.

[MouseNo4]

Oh ive had that for a couple days now. I also took the mention of my pre order of it out of my signature the day it arrived. Mine arrived 23rd. (26th atm)

It is a very high quality book.

[MouseNo4]

Oh and here is a bit of info about TIM. He was part of an expedition with Turians to uncover an artefact, but it turned out it was a reaper ''huskinator'' device. He was partially 'huskified' before he was saved.

That is from the comic ME: Evolution.

Correct. But not everyone read the comics.

Im not. A really large number of players who LOVED Mass Effect 1, 2 and will love 3... would never touch comic books as they tend to have an idea comics are only for children. Just like cartoons. Adults tend to avoid comics simply because they believe they are only designed for children. 

[AlphaJarmel]

TIM is not a boss fight in the game.

[sangy]

Didn't see that one coming with TIM (a.k.a LIM "Le Illusive Monsieur").

I'm not sure about how spoilerific this is since the major item in question is #1 in the "10 things fans must know from the Mass Effect comic and novels"

Ah, bigger problem with comics is actually their purchase and distribution - I for one can't get them (and many others) since there's no distributor for Dark Horse in my country nor I can order them from electronic retailer, 'cause there will be shipping problems involved - especially with BioWare online store or Origin. But there's Mass Effect Wiki and I knew the thing about his eyes and turian expedition. For Mass Effect novels I had to molest my friend from UK to buy them for me and send 'em - with exception of the last one. For that one, luckily, BSN reacted and I knew not to go throuh the entire hell of getting book and and paying for it much more than it usually costs.

I had found that webpage while searching online for an explanation as to why his eyes looked so strange.

(Incidentally, I played the Eden Prime mission on ME1 after a long pause today-----and realized for the first time how 'huskified' Saren looks, right from the beginning.)

I get your LIM reference; just thought I'd mention, that in the French version, he's called "L'Homme inconnu", and in the German, "Der Unbekannte" ~ 'the unknown man' in both. So it looks like the translators just read 'illusive', as 'elusive'.

Yeah, I also noticed that when you go to the Citadel and the council says there is 'no evidence' of Saren's supposed connection to the geth, he is standing right there with a GETH ARM GRAFTED TO HIS SHOULDER.  Haha.

I take it you dont have an ios device either.

Well, I actually bothered to not only watch the video but also read the comments here on the thread. I noticed a lot of people apparently decided straight out that TIM was a boss fight, regardless of people informing them otherwise.

I don't think he's gonna be a boss fight; but I do think we'll have the confront him in ME3. I'm personally hopin' we have the chance to either bring him under our command (like we told him he'd have to be at the end of ME3 for the Paragon statement after destroying the base), or rejoin his command (for those Shepards who actually like working for a pro-human group). I'm sure there'll be options either way if he's not a boss fight; the page doesn't say anything, and BIoWare's been mum on it except for the fact that we're fighting Cerberus for 40 percent of the game. That statement told me that we either defeat them completely or join them/bring them under our command, not that they were working for the Reapers. Or hasn't anyone noticed Shepard makes statements in-game that don't make sense and are often wrong? Same with every other character.

[Vez04]

Mark my words people.

If EA spots this video on youtube, they will take it down!

So, yeah. It's not really a spoiler.

From reading Mass Effect Evolution you get the feeling something like that would happen to him, good to see they cut that concept. But yeah slowly being fully controlled by the Reapers
