I'm still waiting to hear Shin's theory about why he thinks ME3 will be released sooner than later...

It's either an epic wall of text, or he's fallen asleep.

You're probably right. I'm sure he's drooling all over the keyboard as we speak. I imagine his fiancee will find him passed out in front of the screen with pages and pages of Yvonne and Miri pictures open on it shortly, as well.
Doesn't look too good for our friend.

Thats a funny yet saddening but still funny scenario in my head...

Lol sorry guys. I was actually watching the recent GTTV episode. I see there is no shortage of mockery against the master thread ninja in his absence! I see how it is! ANYWAY, sorry to keep ya waiting! Ok, here's why I think it'll come out sooner. I'm predicting around a Fall 2011 release.

First, Bioware said they began working on ME3 before ME2 was released. That's one.

Second, Casey and Ray Muzyka have said more than once that they want to get ME3 out sooner rather than later, and that the time difference between the release of ME2 and ME3 will be less than the difference between ME1 and ME2.

Third, Casey said the story and conclusion for ME3 is already completed.

Fourth, Bioware said everything with the graphics engine is already done. They won't be doing any touch ups or tweaking. Everything they want out of the graphics engine is already where they want it, even the animations, and this is also one of the reasons Casey said ME3 will be easier and quicker to make.

And lastly and most importantly, Casey himself said the reason it won't take as long to make is because of lack of continuity. That is, they don't have to worry about any more branching paths or decisions. It all culminates in ME3 no matter what. This drastically cuts down on development time.

My 2 cents =P

Ah, he's back. I agree with what you're saying but I still don't think it'll be released in 2011. Maybe announced for 2011, then delayed until early 2012. Let's face it, how many big games escape delays now? Besides, I'm sure I read recently that they're planning a new Dragon Age for late 2011 & if that's the case then they won't want two of their franchises to clash.

Edit: My bad, it's early 2011 that DA is supposed to be coming.

Yup I am totally going with shinobi on that one, but maybe early winter though... I am also totally struggling to spell half this post correctly so I am going to get to bed. I get the itchy feeling that horrid EP of Chuck will make my dreams angry **Shaw/WTF Sarah Rage**

Nite, nite

Perhaps, then, they'll have more time for actual content. Wrapping up NPC's stories, more extensive dialog, romance, a main plot that doesn't feel like an afterthought. I'd rather have ME3 later and bigger.

Without Miranda nothing of it would matter, of course. If they cut or even dramatically downsize her role, I'll write my own version of ME3 events. I think it's unlikely, though (sigh of relief at being able to say that with conviction).

I have faith in Bioware. And don't worry, I'm almost positive Miri will definitely have a large role in ME3. Given everything we know about her and the fact that she's really difficult to get rid of in the suicide mission lol. The devs definitely made her character to have an important role.

Night Flashy!

[MegWithAMouth]

What if Miranda turned out to be a bad guy and her loyalty was all a set-up? I don't really believe that, but there are some theories circulating the forums about that and I can't say they're all completely implausible.

Agreed, Miranda is an important character, I really don't think there's any refuting that. Also what you said about her resilience in the end mission, the fact that they went to the trouble to model her face after Yvonne, (which if I remember correctly was a long process) I really don't see Bioware going "Hmph, guess we don't need her to come back.". Just my thoughts.

I know one thing her turning at the end of ME 2 come out of no where with no story plot or reason behind so that is a big question. One thing is for sure Miranda loves Shepard but is that reason for the turn I am not sure

I agree next to Shepard Miranda is the other main character in ME 2 and it would be a waste of time for EA to do all that work with Yvonne to be a one game and done type character

Y'know...I'd be lying if I didn't consider this an option. I really don't know what I'd do, I mean, if it came down to it... could anyone here actually pull the trigger on her?

I know, as much as it pains me it is a genuine possibility. But I have faith in Miranda, so I won't be worrying too much about it. If BW did go down this route though, they damn well better make it possible to keep Miranda on your side, especially if she is your LI.

@ Odin: I couldn't kill Miranda ever, it might make me cry, lol.
