    Hey so question. Undoubtedly, ME2 is gonna have more detailed character creation, but will we'll be unable to alter our carry-over Shepard? No biggie, I guess, but what if ME2 character creation really kicks ass.

    I think it lets you alter not just your old Shepard's looks, but class as well. That's what I've read. Makes sense considering what happens to him.

    I'm just pulling this from a bunch of gametrailers videos but
    Normandy explodes/crashes, Shepard's almost entirely dead body is put in stasis by agents of the shadowbroker, Tali goes looking for him, finds the Illusive Man who helps her recover the body, Illusive Man hooks Shepard wup with the Lazarus process which where you get to alter your looks and class

    edit:
    I'm also guessing that since the Normandy was a prototype that your new ship is the newer production model.

    Close when it comes to the first spoiler.
    It's Liara who goes looking for Shepard. My guess is that she ends up forced to work for the Shadow Broker out of some deal to let Cerberus have Shepard's body. Not sure how the Shadow Broker will agree to that though seeing who he/she/they/it are procuring Shepard for.

    so
    joker is dead?
    He's very much alive, flying the new ship once you get it. There's a brief scene in one of the videos he appears in that shows him seemingly walking to boot.
    Whoops forgot it was Liara. I was looking that vid earlier and I couldn't find it. Re: Joker, most of the crew makes it to the lifepods

    Idea. Go back to the Prothean archives, crack open a few stasis pods, clone Protheans.

    Why? The Protheans basically died around the same level of tech and achievement as the Alliance/Council.

    a) They fought the reapers for a very long time. Surely they could provide intel for us'

    b) Aren't prothean artifacts still considered valuable finds? I don't think any race is close to the level of the protheans just yet, though I'm not sure.

    c) They're Protheans. Everyone talks about them. Why not bring one back and talk to them instead?

    I have a couple of New Game + questions. If I want to bring Liara and Wrex with me to Noveria whenever I want to get my Soldier to Lv60, would it be a wise investment to pick Decryption as my bonus skill? Also, would I have to get it to Master-level or are the various crates around the planet limited to Easy and Advanced?

    It's not like cloned Protheans are going to magically know everything about their technology. This isn't Assassin's Creed, people can't remember what dead people know.

    Weren't the guys in the stasis pods a research team working on their latest technological discoveries though? Sounds like people would want to talk to them

    "Does it know anything about the time period?"

    I just had a silly though that has absolutely no bearing on the actual game at all, but all this talk about Shepard and his glowing scars in ME2 made me think of a great way to end the game.
    He finishes his mission and he just wants to fucking crash but then he gets word that your love interest is in danger and when he gets back to his place he sees the door is ajar so he goes in with his gun drawn and inside is your love interest and so they run out to get to the Normandy and when he leaves his place he finds a paper unicorn on the ground.

    You know it's weird when you think about it

    Mass Effect's universe would likely recognise a dozen other games as a pop culture presence from their distant past, but BioWare doesn't exist

    Basically whenever a franchise uses our future as a setting it'll follow our history perfectly except for the fact that the franchise itself never appeared

    Makes me wonder what 20thC nerds watched instead of Star Trek in Star Trek

    And of course the fact that it was the Protheans who fucked around with the keepers and stopped them from doing their duty

    Basically yeah if not for the Protheans we'd have died like all the species that came before the Protheans
