can someone please help me understand why you would want to work undercover? Are the reapers going to be like welllll sheps not here lets head home because you got a nose job? Another question is who the hell is planning on playing the THIRD GAME and skipping the other two **** em they better as hell be confused, but anyway the game is going to start off with shep in a blury first person view in a dark room with a light above his head being punched by udina saying "you couldnt leave well enough alone could ya...well now your gunna pay"

For facial reconstruction I'd more or less consider a jailbreak with someone breaking you out in this case, so they enter a computer to find your cell and it goes into "Searching for prisoner..." and you fill in the details and face and it finds Shepard.

I've imagined it like some kind of gradual awakening after prison stasis: choosing gender, class, appearance. Between these scenes we play as rescuing team shutting down prison defence systems in order to release Shepard.

The whole prison thing is just stupid. Bioware can easily give us a reason for Facial/class changes with out resorting to throwing Shepard in jail.  

Mass Effect 3 should start with the Reaper Invasion.

Why do we even need an in-game reason to change our class or appearance? Or to explain our level?

That is so dumb.

Because newcomers can't start with a mass amount of skillpoints to assign to various skills, they need to be eased into it so they aren't overwhelmed and scared away from game...because yes, even newcomers deserve to enjoy the game.

You completely missed the point.

This is very frustrating for me, but I'm going to forge on ahead and try to explain this in simpler terms.

Shepard's appearance, class, and skill level, are not part of the story. Thus they need no explanation in the narrative. Just start the game, immediately begin with the character creation tool, and then start the story.

But if newcomers start as anything other than level 1 they would be confused, as for your point about not needing an ingame reason to set the appearance and class and starting skill - I agree, it isn't necessary.

START THE NEWCOMERS AT LEVEL 1 AND THE VETERANS AT LEVEL 5 OR SOME OTHER LEVEL, IT DOESN'T MATTER!

The point is, we don't need a story explanation for Shepard's level. That is gameplay. Gameplay and story are separate.

Still 'cinematic' changing of appearance is the style of Mass Effect. It's good for immersion.

I was assuming you meant start as the same level you were in ME2.

It is more entertaining when they are.

That's a whole another matter.

The trial is a very good twist. But BioWare is going to screw it up.

Hey, nobody's making you post here.  If you can't handle other people's opinions - leave.

I would like to know why you think BioWare is going to screw it up, Zulu.

I agree, but I'm just saying the trial is useful for reasons that have nothing to do with resetting Shepard's appearance, level, or class.

It is far more important as a means of leaping forward in time a ways, or at least giving the writers the option.

It's also an excellent way of recapping your previous actions and filling in the newbies.

Because it seems they have married the idea of the trial to the idea of "visiting Earth at some point", which is a plot hole for the sake of fan service. This is about as bad as it can get... But in can get even worse. They'll probably use it to "amp things up" by making the Reapers invade during the trial (so no imprisonment among oter things).

There is a thread I started about this. Must be on the first page.

That's actually OK... as long as the explanation is given, why Cerberus wants to all of a sudden kill Shepard, and, more importantly, why doesn't TIM simply invite Shepard for a (poisoned) drink, which, for instance, *my* Shepard would be a lot more glad to come to, instead of a trial on the stupid Earth.
