I would love to see more character interaction on the normandy like the miranda/jack fight but without the fight. More bonding moments that really make the crew/team feel like they really are team and get along..... but there can be exceptions of course(becuase tali and legion will probably not get along). And more character dialog on the normandy inbetween missions. And more missions like the suicide mission that lets use pick characters that would be well suited for tasks, that would be great i loved that.

everything else is perfect(IMO).

A small, frivolous addition to my earlier big post:

- If you're going to have "fling" options, or what's better, non-squaddie romances, please keep in mind Shiala, Gianna, and Aria.

Someone else will have to come up with the male equivalents... Perhaps Joker? Donnelly?

I think jokers legs would shatter with how brittle they are.

[WilliamShatner]

Entire original crew as squadmates (Liara, Tali, Garrus, Wrex, Ashley/Kaidan)

Mako roaming

Elevators

Crew interaction on planets

Inventory

Kelly Chambers brought back as Yeoman



And fix these before ME3 as DLC



Tali/Female Shepard romance

Continuation of romance with Liara. The post game world entirely allows this. Liara is sitting in her office, Shepard has nothing to do. Let's sort this out now.

I'm sure a creative Shepard would find a way to romance Joker without breaking his bones.

But I don't know who the straight ladies and gay men would want for the male non-squaddie LIs... He was just a hunch.

It would be funny if Conrad Verner from ME1 could actually join your crew. He would cry and whine all the time, and be totally useless on the battlefield. He could even mislead you be saying your flank is clear when it isn't.

Mass Effect 3 Additions:

• Bring back vehicular mobility via mako or some other tank and/or ultimately allow the player to somewhat pilot the Normandy in battles.
• Use game engine instead of pre recorded videos just like the original.
• Increase the graphics preferably for the armor because for people like me who put it on a high resolution I expect the armor to be detailed not pixelated. (Armor on characters and shepard)
• Make shepard have a more indepth backstory.
• Increase the length of talk time for shepard in certain conversations.
• Bring back old characters for use. Not discard them. What was the point of keeping them alive? More immersion.
• Possibly explore different galaxies other than the milky way.
• Allow weapons to continue to fire after heat cartriges deplete but make them suddenly overheat like in the original Mass Effect.
• Pictures for codex information. ME 2 lacked that and made it very boring and monotone.
• More suit customization. Different suits like in the original game. Allow player to remove helmet for DLC suits.
• Simplify the upgrade and purchasing menu because alot of the times it was cluttered and slightly confusing as to when and which upgrade can be made or achieved.
• Allow player to choose more weapons to load out: in reality an individual can use weapons that they don't specialize in. Give the player that choice at the cost of accuracy or firepower etc.
• Allow player to jump, climp ladders. If infiltrator allow player to splinter cell over things since infiltrators specialize in stealth. Some ideas.

Thats about it.
I realise  there are many ideas here in the forum. I honestly was moderately let down by mass effect 2. The missions prior to the grand (yet not so grand) ending were in fact harder than the epic ending.

After battling the mechs from eclipse, any other enemy was weak. Lets face it: they nerfed every other enemy and made the mechs ridiculously tough.

No Mako type vehicle. Some of the characters had very quick, often bland back stories. As shepard i felt that I was lifeless. Everyone else's story was far more interesting. I actually hated myself in the game.

I hope bioware sees it's rushed mistakes and push this game more over the envelope.

One small addition no working for any terrorist organisation and an opportunity to rejoin the alliance!

Tali/Female Shepard romance

While this is intriguing, it's already been established (via NPC interactions in Eternity) that there's this mild problem of biological incompatibility. Admittedly, Tali has one of the best personalities of any of the NPCs, but that biological incompatibility problem is going to crop up sooner or later in any romance. As tempting as it is, I'm just happy that she looks up to me as her Captain.

Continuation of romance with Liara. The post game world entirely allows this. Liara is sitting in her office, Shepard has nothing to do. Let's sort this out now.

Not just yes, but HELL YES!  The most disappointing part of this game for me was the way I finally caught up to Liara, and she treated my Shepard like an intelligence asset, not the partner Shepard had been in ME1. It's only been 2 years! That's barely a drop in the bucket in an Asari's lifetime. I would think that, seeing that Shepard is alive, even if she has too many responsibilities to join the crew, Liara would make time for her PARTNER.

The devs really screwed the pooch on this one, as far as I'm concerned.

[Litos456]

-More weapons

-More feeling of being inside the universe (I.E. elevators, manually coming in and out of the ship)

-Crew mates randomly chatting like in Dragon Age

-Better character development



I think those are the main 4 things that I really missed. The character development is great, but not as good as ME1. So yeah.

Cheers

Overall, Mass Effect 2 was a big improvement upon the first game in many ways. Getting rid of the tedious Mako missions really was the right thing to do, in my opinion. Not that I'm completely content with the scanning element that served as a replacement, but it was better. Mass Effect 2 also felt more like a lively galaxy in comparison with Mass Effect, with missions taking us to densely populated planets and much more activity on those planets (loved the ads and the interaction between citizens). And especially the sidequests on largely unhabited planets was an improvement on the first game. So if BioWare can hold onto those and improve/replace where necessary, I'm in for Mass Effect 3.

There are a few issues, though. I'm not such a fan of some other changes made to the first game. A lot of space has probably already been spent discussing this, but I missed the RPG from the first game in this. Okay, the developers ensure that the RPG is still in there, only in other places, such as upgrading the Normandy, weapons and such. And I liked those parts. But limiting the RP aspect in building your character I didn't like that much. Seeing as how the first Mass Effect wasn't too big on the RP aspect already, I don't understand a further simplifying of a those statistics. I don't think the shooter fans are that distracted by the RP aspect (besides, there's still the auto-level button for those who just want to shoot stuff, right?).

Besides, the whole deal about getting in those RPG 'stats', as far as I know, is to deliver a different experience for people who choose different 'stats' and classes. As I view that ideally, that means if you'd play an Infiltrator, for example, you would work your way through levels in stealth mode, hacking computers and doors, leaving minimal trace of your presence. I know that at the core, this game is still for a big part a shooter, but if I could wish one thing, it'd be more varieties to play through a mission, based on your class and your skills. This universe has a lot of opportunities to utilize technology to your advantage in gameplay.

One thing I missed a bit in Mass Effect 2 is the interaction between squad members. There's some small talk here and there when you're on a mission or on a planet, but nothing quite serious (I do remember a Miranda - Jack confrontation on the Normandy, but nothing more). There's a lot going on on the Normandy, but that aspect was, from what I experienced, not very well represented.

I think I missed a few things, but if I can't remember them now, they must not be that big of a deal.

Needs light and medium as well as heavy armor. Just a thought.

Budd,y the premise is that Liara thought shepard was dead. Imagine you were inlove withsomeone and they disappeared for 2 years. Chances are you would move on. The problem is, is that they didn't provide the depth to show the anguish and sadness in that aspect of ME 2. Everything felt so rushed yet lengthy at the same time. I agree with the characters. As I have stated in my changes that must occur in ME3, lots of the previous characters were literally dead even when alive. No soul nothing. If I were shepard I would have tried even harder to get my old team back.

I also believe that we should tone down the info in both games cause I think you may spoil it for someone.

[Walker White]

More team banter, please.



In ME1 your team members would interject themselves into the middle of your conversations. They rarely, if ever, do that now. As a result, it feels like my team members are barely there at all. I can can go an entire major mission and some of them will not say anything outside of combat. For the loyalty missions, in particular, the second character was never there.

[Trelow-LMG]

More Joker.









That is all.

[Zegla]

I want Liara back as a squad-mate in Me3. If not, then I would at least want to see a nice conclusion to the romance. No more Me2-like cameos.

Other things:
More dialog, better rpg-elements (like in the first game).

I thought Liara gave Shepard to Cerberus. She wants revenge. Shepard would be a distraction.

[Tavanaka]

I'd like them to focus even more on the characters. I loved all of the squadmates in ME2, and while I realize there was already plenty of opportunities to talk with them I'd still love even more. Rather than giving us a brand new set of squadmates, embellish what's already there. Ideally I'd like to have between 10-15 possible conversations each but I'm sure that's a nightmare for the writers. Just... MORE. Bioware's done such a fantastic job and created such colorful characters that I can't get enough! Same goes for the returning ME1 squadmates. Surely Wrex has more to say after two years of dealing with Krogan "politics."

In that same vein, I'd like to see more interaction between the squadmates during downtime. Maybe Mordin approaches Thane about curing kepral's syndrome, or Grunt and Garrus get into a light banter session, or maybe Zaeed, Garrus and Jacob all sit around a table sharing war stories. Heck, why not put multiple squadmates in the same room and not just on the same deck? Then they wouldn't even have to be cutscenes, just idle dialogue.

I'd also like it if they could detach the persuasion system from the Renegade/Paragon mechanic, at least a little bit. Nothing's more frustrating then being forced to do something out of character because you weren't enough of a jerk/saint previously. Maybe stack options? For example:

Two crew members get in a fight for whatever reason. When Shepard approaches them, he/she gets the option to try and reach a compromise (either by charm or intimidate). If his/her required "bar" isn't high enough, it fails and Shepard then tries to appeal to them as a friend, which requires less of a paragon/renegade stat. If that still doesn't work, Shepard can order them to stop (requiring even less), and then if that doesn't work, then Shepard is forced to choose a side.

I know it's probably hell to code but at least this way we aren't forced to limit our emotional responses to something that, at least in my opinion, should be a background mechanic. I'm sure there are other ways they can integrate the Paragon/Renegade mechanic into gameplay without sacrificing roleplay.

Finally, I'd like the enemies to be less like bullet-sponges. I really liked the layering of barriers, shields and armor, but they had the unwelcome effect of canceling out some of the cooler, more fun battle mechanics, like biotics and locational damage. It also meant that it was incredibly easy to get swarmed by unstoppable enemies. This made the game harder, yes, but it also eliminated some of that "strategy" aspect that made ME2's combat so much better than ME1's. When I get bumrushed by ten soldiers and a heavy mech, I want to feel like I deserved it; like it happened because I played the scenario wrong, not because of the game mechanics. Shields and barriers I can handle staying the same, but it should feel like I've made progress after I've removed them. Having an additional layer of armor that acts just like a shield or barrier is frustrating. I'd like it if the secondary effects of powers/locational damage were decreased when used on armored foes, not eliminated. Perhaps throw just causes them to stagger back an inch, or pull causes them to lose balance? Body shots slow their advance, and leg shots make them stumble. With mechs a shot to the optics could temporarily disrupt their accuracy for a brief second, allowing you to make that extra distance to cover. If these mechanics are already in place on armored enemies, then make them more obvious, because at this point the only thing scary about YMIRs is thinking about how many bullets I'm going to have to waste on them.

Other than those four, I'd be fine with more of the same. I wholly enjoyed ME2 (on my third 100% playthrough now), and I crave MORE.

EDIT: Actually scratch that- I have two more requests. Once again they're related to just wanting more of what I loved in the games but I figured I'd be a little specific.

Several people have mentioned your class coming up in conversations. I'd also like if your background came up more often in conversations too. I would have like my Sole Survivor Shepard to have had some additional dialogue with Garrus and Jack- both people suffering from survivor's guilt. One of my favorite moments in ME1 was when Ashley asked how Shepard dealt with the losses on Akuze. It was one of those "pure" moments, where it really felt like watching two real people having a conversation.

Heck, one of my Earthborn Shepards even wound up seeing Thane as a father figure (She never knew her parents, and Thane... well, no spoilers. But you know.). I would have liked some conversation options to solidify that kind of a relationship. I know it's also been mentioned that the Colonist Shepard and Tali could have had a heartwarming conversation after her loyalty mission (did I mention the Paragonhug was glorious? Cause it was.)

The other thing is that I too want the helmet toggle back. It's a small thing but you'd be surprised how much it adds. In ME1 I always toggled it off right before the fight with Saren ends on Virmire, so when Shepard gets knocked back it looks like his helmet got flung off |B I'm a nerd, I know.

[General Battuta]

Make the villains really frightening.



Stick to the hard SF roots that made Mass Effect great. Whoever wrote the Codex, the EDI dialogue, Legion dialogue, and maybe even Thane - make sure you have him.



Make the effects artists, cutscene designers, whatever READ THE CODEX. Get some ship battles that actually work like the Codex suggests.

[kohanchen]

I've read many reviews from magazines and websites about ME2, and most of the reviewers like the overall changes about the inventory, upgrades etc.. However, what they don't like about ME2 are the hacking mini-games and scanning-mining things; I couldn't agree more. Those parts of the ME2 are just no fun at all and get boring fast, I would suggest the ME3 development team hire/outsource professional mini/puzzle/indie game designers to do those mini-games.

[Varthun]

I would suggest only three things:

Tali unmasked (But I'm sure you get that a lot.)

Definitely make more dialogue between characters. One of the best parts of the game, in my opinion. One of the things that brings me back to this game over and over again is the vibrant characters you build, and how truly interesting they are to interact with.

And finally, do whatever creative process it is you do that churned out these two games. Truly amazing works of art, that I am glad to say I have played.

Also going to point at Tavanaka's post for truth.

General:



-Renegade and Paragon interrupts for a single scene, give us some choice to the best selects in the game.

-Make the return to ship button inside the game menu after the mission ends. I really hated that it kept popping up on my screen in missions where I just wanted to talk to people after, like on Mordin's mission and Tali's loyalty one.

-class solutions to the same problem. I know Casey Hudson said he didn't want people to lose parts of the story by the class they chose, but they wouldn't have to. All I want is class solutions to the same problem. Like, as I mentioned in another thread. A combat oriented class ala infiltrator or soldier would shoot the screens on Freedom's Progress, while a tech class would do as the PC did in the scene, while a biotic might either biotically spin the chair around, or black out the screen with like a biotic barrier or something. There's a bunch of places like this in the game where classes could do different things...

- ^^ I'd like recognition of class. I would love more recognition of our class and background choices. Simple things like how powerful you are for a human biotic, or Tali perhaps complimenting on how well you know your engineering, or how noone would want to stand down range from your firearms if you were a soldier. All these things would be fantastic to add in game. It would be paired like this. Sentinel-Engineer > Tech compliments. Infiltrator-Soldier > Combat compliments. Vanguard-Adept> Biotic Compliments.

That part near the end of the game where Miranda says technically any biotic should beable to do it just screamed in my head for her to say... Like you Shepard, if you weren't leading the team. See SMALL recognitions like that please!

-I'll wait till I see how the hammerhead performs before I comment on it one way or the other.

-More Rain like on Pragia! That was awesome how it drips off of Shepard even after you go indoors!

-More Mirrors like in your cabin's bathroom..!

-Proper music playlist with a menu in your room to select the music.

-An option to browse/zoom/rotate the ships you collect for your trophy wall, as well as information and facts about them!

-Place to sit in your quarters without your LI

-More Lance Henreiksen, In game shot of Hackett too, perhaps when he hosts your memorial service.

-See Hannah Shepard!

-Beable to reply to emails, simple yes/no, or paragon/neutral/renegade choice.

-Final dawning of your combined choices throughout the game have a drastic ending one way or the other.

-Don't be affraid to make it 2-3 discs long. I care for content 10000x more than disc swapping, though... perhaps make the cases not so hard to get the discs out of, I felt like I was breaking it.





Stores:



-Place to Sell Extra minerals like Paladium/Irridium/Eezo/Platinum.

-Place to buy extra minerals like ^

-More restocks in stores, perhaps depending on class level.



Upgrades, Armor and Research:



-As I mentioned in another thread, the inability to cap weapons off in research. There might should be research like in ME2, but there should be specialization parts to make your weapons fire faster/hold more in a thermal clip/do more damage, perhaps at the expense of more in your clip/have more accuracy/have less recoil/have greater penetration of defenses.

-Biotic amps and Omni-tools should have these upgrades too ^

-More armor pieces! More Patterns! I'd specifically like an armor that looks like a jumpsuit/wetsuit with plates of armor over it like on the shoulders/chest/thighs/legs/arms.

-Color wheel for the armor tint? Some of the color choices look generic especially when overlapped with others, I found myself saying if I could just tint it a little darker then it'd be okay..!

-Helmet Toggle switch

-More Abilities, maybe some more passive ones like the class skill? Or just make that one longer than the other 5-6. Like make it twice as long, where after you complete the chain a second tier of it opens that you can start anew, third, or so on.

-Make the evolutions continue to grow apart in the third. Like, Hard throw will continually spike more and more heavy and perhaps have defense penetration while area throw will continually grow in width and to some extent force as well.



Squad/Love interest:



-Bring back the allies that didn't die as party members

-Playable epilogue, (Like DA:O) and the ability to continue playing after the game ends, like ME2

-More Character chatter like the squaddies on DA:O or as ME1 squaddies did on elevators, just.. random places.

-Continuation of romances from ME2/ME1

-As much as I didn't like the gifts, like in DA:O how they could be abused to gain favor, I really liked the gifts that meant something to them. Maybe we can get something for our LI's to spark a conversation with them, Ala; Alistair's locket, or take them somewhere they really want to go before the end. Not exactly a loyalty mission. Just an area that sparks a conversation, intimate or no with your squaddies. Let you really dig in deep into their past. This is the last chapter and I'd really like as much info on them as possible.

-When you sit with your LI, or Lay with them, idle banter like you hear from Joker at the helm of the ship would be great to go with the conversation motions.

-More dialogue bits, or equal dialogue bits for each member.. Some people seriously got shorted in ME2



Quests:



-More central quest hubs like Omega and the Citadel, with lots of quests that send us over the galaxy again, like in ME1, just better quality side missions comparable to the N7 ones.

-More Paragon/Renegade Choice in N7 missions.

-A personal quest to finalize thing with your family/personal background ala Akuze, or Torfan, or Elysium, for vist the momument or the memorial there, perhaps a speech.



Character Creator:



-Different hairstyles anyone?

-Additional eyes/noses/mouthes on the Character creator

-A chance to redo our PC's looks in the game's new graphic engine, and please, allow us to rotate around our characters completely. Sometimes we don't know how troll we look until we get a good side shot.

More doesn’t always mean better! I’m a big Dragon Age fan, but I also loved the streamlined approach to ME2 overall. I do not miss the inventory or the huge skill list AT ALL in ME2. For an rpg shooter, this is perfect.

In terms of linearity, I’d definitely HATE to see pointless empty rooms/planets or boring empty corridor backtracking. If more missions can be like Saed’s, where you can take meaningful branching paths, that would be great. If that can’t be done for a mission or doesn’t make sense to do it, then the current linear missions are JUST FINE imo because the setting and level just play and feel different enough that it’s fun. I also love the diversity of the characters and missions!!! Samara loyalty and Thane loyalty were both great!

If anything, I would like to see tighter combat controls so that higher difficulty setting can be more about skill and less about hoping the AI doesn’t do something dumb. For example:
- a command/button that tells a teammate to duck immediately back into cover instead of standing there like a fool as he is being gun down. .
- the ability to duck at any time. I don’t mind still needing to stand up before I can shoot for balance reasons, but I want to be able to duck like how the NPCs are able to do.

A way to properly gauge player skill and recommend difficulty settings to the player at the start of the game: maMbe a simple questionnaire at the character creation (ask player to rate themselves on their experience with FPS). Right now it seems that a lot of people play on default/easy setting and complain that combat is not good. It is a shame that they do not witness the full greatness of the game because they didn’t bother to play with the settings!

Also, in terms of pacing/linearity, I actually think the game is a little too much “width” and not enough “length.” The game feels “short” as a result. If there was more collector-related mission to interject between the recruitment missions, it would feel a lot longer (recruit 2, get 1 main mission, and so on). Right now the game feels like a novel with only 3 chapters but 300 pages per chapter.

In any case, ME2 is a vast improvement over ME1 in every way except the mini-game! I wasn’t a fan of the first game but this one definitely made me a fan!  Keep this style!
