Mass Effect 3

I thought ME1 was much better at the RPG elements than ME2, I'm gonna have to give another playthrough of both soon.

No youre right, it was. Sounds like they're getting the RPG elements and the good combat for ME3, which is good.

 

[Triplethreat]

It's going to be absolutely amazing.

I also like the fact that there are no permanent squad members, just temporary ones for the missions you're on.

I really can't wait for March 6.

Wait what? I dont even understand that. Sounds like they're dumbing it down.

Every important character from the recent 2 games is in the game, albeit they survive the suicide mission. But you don't choose who you want to bring with you on missions. (maybe on side missions) The missions have key characters, who you bring along with you that add to the story. I think maybe you get to pick the other squad member though. At least that is how I read into it.

EDIT: There is a list of squad members that are permanently on your team, but the others are only temp.

The more I hear, the more bizarre this game sounds. Maybe I'm just comparing its structure to ME2 too much.

Is it March 6 yet?

I really hope this game doesn't disappoint.

I didn't see a thread for this game already, and I know it's not due out til 3/6/2012, but I haven't been this legitimately excited for a title in years. There's literally thousands of different variables from the first two games that can affect the outcome of this game, and BioWare has also said that it's possible for their to be an ultimately bad ending, meaning the galaxy falls to the Reapers instead of being saved.


There's going to be 5 or 6 original squadmates returning from both ME and ME2, but there's supposed to be less squad members overall this time around to focus on deeper relationships and such.


Copied and pasted from the ME3 Wiki -

David Anderson 1

Jack [17]
Captain Kirrahe [18]
Thane Krios [14]
Miranda Lawson [19]

The Illusive Man
Zaeed Massani [14]
Jeff "Joker" Moreau [20]
Mordin Solus
Jacob Taylor [19]
Donnel Udina
Conrad Verner [21]

If you haven't played the Arrival DLC for ME2 I would recommend it, as it is a direct prequel to ME3.


Anyone else excited for this one? I know I'm not the only Mass Effect fan here.

I still have to get through Mass Effect 1 (that I am currently playing), and then Mass Effect 2! haha

In ME2 when you can pick a specialty pick the Widow Sniper Rifle if your class can use them (biggest mistake I made with 2 on my cannon playthrough was picking the Assualt Rifle and you can't change this you have to play it that part again to be able to chose a different one which would mean I would have had to replay 50 hours of my cannon pt)

 

[Chris]

I always snag assault rifle, it's by far the most effective weapon and I'm playing through on Insane right now as an Adept. Can't wait to get that assault rifle.

 

[Triplethreat]

I can't wait to put a bullet in The Illusive Man's head..

 

[Chris]

It would be more surprising/interesting if he didn't turn out to be TEH EVILZ.
