Mass Effect 3

[LightSpectra]

I wonder if Bailey will become a squadmate, or at least play a significant role in ME3.

 

[Dachs]

They say they're going to bring back everybody who was important in ME1 or ME2 (their standard line to the inevitable "Will we see Conrad Verner again??????" questions). Bailey was pretty important in ME2, had a role in one of the comics, and featured prominently in several of the Shadow Broker videos. Odds are pretty good he'll be back, especially with the Citadel confirmed (yeah, it would be stupid if it weren't in, but still) as a location in ME3.

It's time for Kasumi to be a LI. She's gotta be over that what's-his-name by now

 

[mechaerik]

What if Jacob survived ME2?

 

[Maniacal]

He wasn't referring to Jacob.

 

[mechaerik]

Yeah, but she was certainly attracted to Jacob.

 

[Maniacal]

She was horny and stuck on a space ship for most of the time with a hunk of a blackman walking around. I think many women probably would be too.

Plus Bioware writers.

But the priiize!

But...the priiizzeee.

EDIT: GO TO HELL MECHAERIK!

There will of course be the temporary squad member who dies horribly. Maybe it's the British chap in the teaser video.

RIP Jenkins

 

[LightSpectra]

Your temporary companion at the start of the campaign is actually Councilor Anderson, but if he's killed off like a red-shirt I'm going to be sad.

Jayzus almighty

The Renegade ending I'm hoping for:

After Shepard has saved the galaxy from the reaper invasion with catastrophic losses, reporter Khalisah al-Jilani approaches Shepard and asks, "Commander, would you say your former cooperation with Cerberus has increased the casualties in this war by the millions?"

"I've had enough of your pernicious allegations."

[LightSpectra]

Oh, also, I'd like to see some flashback/DLC/prequel where you control Shepard during the Skyllian Blitz/Akuze incident/Torfan raid.

 

[Dachs]

Yeah, that's come up a few times. Nothing substantive yet. Although I gotta wonder how you'd play through Akuze - just an extended version of the last part of Grunt's Rite of Passage?

There's a couple of threads on the Bioware forums about confirmed features. Some of the ones I'm excited about:

-ME3 will use thermal clips, not ME1-style regeneratable ammo.
-Interrupts are back, but with new "tech and methods".
-Clint Mansell to join as a music composer.
-Improved technolodgy allows for longer hairstyles.
-By pressing 'Y', the camera turns in mini-cutscenes
-Jack will be wearing a shirt, and her hair "won't be as shaved".
-Non-romance interactions to be breaking the mold.
-PC specs should be around the same as ME2's.

Phaedon's been a godsend. Even I don't go through the Twitter feeds as much as he does.

That said, Patrick Weekes gave us a heart attack when he mentioned that the Matriarch Writings quest was going to import from ME1 to ME3.
