    Kaiden a weenie? Wow, that's pretty far off. His entire outer persona is based around "I'm a soldier, I need to keep my shit squared away and my biotics charged." You only get to know about him as a person after Shepard pushes.

    Kaiden is a soldier, and he lets you know it. A biotic super soldier. That may or may not sit with you, but the alternative is Ashely. ASH!

    seriously Kaidan looks like a motherfucker

    he actually outclasses Shepard in that shot

    it looks like his hair is no longer a black metroid and is now separated into strands at the front

    that's like 90% of my ambivalence gone right there
    wow they update the look of ash and kaiden and i'm reassessing my feelings on them. am i that shallow

    Meh...I never had a problem with Ash or Kaiden...

    That being said...They really did give them the face update(just like Liara got in LotSB)

    Hell...Udina is probably going to be Fabio when they show him.

    Edit: Fuck these busy servers! Fuck them!

    I'm loving the updated looks for the both of them... especially Ashley's:winky:


    And, I propose the next thread be titled either "Bioware:Making our dreams come true." or "Do fear the Reapers."

    My memories for the voice were of Scorch, the lovably wisecracking demolitions expert.

    Still didn't like Kaiden.

    And Spoit?

    You did get to concede that Cerberus was scum. You couldn't quit, which sucked, but you could at least say "Hey, whoa. Only in it for this one gig, I agree, they're shitty."

    When was that? Not horizon, where you can barely get an word in edgewise. And sure as hell not in LotSB, where everything that spectre says about cerberus is 100% true.

    Who cares, in ME3 Tim will reveal himself as the reaper agent he is. I'm sure we'll get a lot of that, finally finding out who's been helping the reapers and why. I'll enjoy killing him. I'm sure we all will.

    Shepard was indoctrinated by the Protheans to fight the Reapers.

    TIM is smart enough to not get in Shepard's way. Something is going on at Cerberus, I strongly doubt they want to kill the one person who can stop the reapers because "grr you blew up my base". After Retribution, Cerberus may be in different hands or indoctrinated, while TIM is doing his own thing.

    I do find it amusing now that space hitler and bland mcwhite guy are suddenly popular again because of their redesign.

    It's nice for Ashley and Kaidan fans to be rewarded for their patience, otherwise they'd still be stuck under a bus.

    I'm pretty sure the next book will probably explain why Cerberus wants you all dead(since TIM is probably prominent in it, being on the cover and all).

    Damn you, Bioware, and your marketing schemes.

    Is it that surprising?

    Tali is one of the more racist members of your group(or machinist...whatever), yet she's just so cuuutttee!

    Though I'm not sure about the apparent boob job they've given her, it's seems like they've tried to turn her into Ashely Lawson.

    Kaiden's looking very paladin-y in that shot.

    Uuuuggghh after reading that bit about longer skill trees and actual weapon mods and returning squadmates and reapers and Earth I can't believe Bioware is making us endure half a year more of this waiting.

    I wonder if Kaiden is going to be an ME2-style Sentinel.

    That's basically a space paladin.

    SentinelShep is going to be ridiculously versatile now that she has access to ARs and shotguns from the beginning

    Kaidan will probably follow Miranda's lead, unless they want to make him as broken as he was in ME1

    I'm not sure if I should do a media-blackout after this Gameinformer or not. I don't want to be spoiled, but at the same time, I don't think I can resist learning about all the awesome things that are going to be in ME3.

    Bioware said they're going to try and not spoil the game as much this time.

    The problem I think with the whole suicide mission as the end of Act 2, is that it paints Bioware into a corner. If they're going to allow you to import your save, that means that any one of the team members could be dead. The problem is I can't see them spending significant resources on a character that many players might not even be able to interract with. I suppose they could get around this with the 'canon' ending being that everyone lives.

    I think they'e going to have to focus much less on people's personal stories (at least the ones that could have died), and more on the main storyline. I suppose they could have full on sidequests for people that could not have died (Liara, Ashley, Kaiden, etc.) and just on ship interactions with the others. I just have a hard time believing that they're going to spend months of development on characters that might not even be there.


    shepard could die in ME2 therefore shepard's not going to be in ME3

    after all why would they spend resources on someone who's DEAD, right?
    bioware is cerberus

    Hopefully you were being sarcastic =), since you know, you don't actually get an exportable save if Shepard dies. I'll assume you were being sarcastic though. Bioware only allows you to survive if THEY kill you without you having any say-so.

    Well for lack of anything better to do and because I really wanted to play some Mass Effect I just did a failshep run with this stunningly beautiful character:
    o3VV5h.jpg

    Finished it in 4 and a half hours and succeeded in losing everyone.
    It was fun.

    Jesus Christ, what did you do to his face to make him LOOK like that? Is then even a "Run the face through a blender" option?
