    It'll be interesting to see just how much more shit can hit the hyperdrive in ME3.

    Also (Sovereign/Harbinger debate):
    Unless I missed something, Sovereign's job was to lie in wait, wake up every now and then to assess the galactic situation, and when the time is right summon the Reapers through the Citadel via the Keepers to let them in through the back door. That part I have no problem with.

    Harbinger throws a spanner into the works of my thought processing. Aren't the other Reapers supposed to be asleep off in dark space and wait for Sovereign's message to come on over? If so, why is Harbinger awake? Why are the masses of reapers awaking of their own accord in the ending and heading to the Milky Way? Why did they even need Sovereign if they were going to wake up of their own accord anyway and just head on over? Why create such a risk by leaving a Vanguard behind?

    Right there with you Smof. Moar Hackett!

    My take was that Sovereign sent some 'oh shitballs, I'm getting blowed up' signal and stirred the hive.

    Furthermore, the rest of the reapers still need some way to activate the citadel portal, they cant just fly over on their own. thats why the collectors were building a replacement for sovereign, except this time it was using human blueprints in a natural selection type deal, reapers adapting by using newly acquired information.

    I guess that makes sense.
    Sovereign being destroyed, the reapers need a new vanguard, build one out of the most promising species around to add to our numbers, try again. I just sit back and think "what was the point?" when I see the ending and the reaper fleet is just heading over to the milky way. Sure it takes much, much longer to do that but it doesn't hinge entirely on the collector base being impenetrable, or someone figuring out how to stop the collectors. Is it just reapers being really, really arrogant and twirling their moustaches, believing Shepard won't be able to stop them?

    Well it's like sovereign said in ME1. our destruction is inevitable. it's been happening without break for millions of years. shep has delayed it by two years so far. reapers have no need to panic, or to start being hasty and rushing over. thats why shit is going to kick off in ME3. harbinger is coming now, actively making moves instead of being passive and fighting a proxy war.

    the clock is ticking now, as it were.

    The reapers aren't even in the plane of the galaxy in that last shot. From how small the galaxy appears to be from their point in space, they are millions of years away.

    That is complete conjecture and assumption. And you know what happens when you assume. All ships have FTL drives, they're just not as fast as Mass Relays. That's how the Normandy travels between star systems.

    The third game in the trilogy has to end the threat of the Reapers one way or another. Bioware has said this will end Shepard's story, and that is the struggle against the Reapers.

    The Reapers could be six months away from the galaxy or a decade, we just don't know. But Shepard is going to face them and Harbinger in ME3. Thus, unless cryo-freezing is involved which is unlikely, it will be in the next five to ten years.

    In ME1, Shepard stops Soverign from summoning the entire Reaper fleet into the center of the galaxy where they can devide and conquer the galaxy from its heart.
    In ME2, Shepard kills off
    The Reaper's primary slave race and a new prototype Reaper
    .

    Thus, progress has been made. It's just now coming into the real war. It's been heavily hinted the Reapers don't like doing galactic purges without overwhelming surprise and superiority. For all their power, they're not invincble. Shepard and Cerberus knows they're coming, and measures are being taken. That's more than the last few thousand organic races got.

    If the Council would stop being scared of the Terminus and accept the Reaper threat, we may even have a chance.

    Okay then, different example - what to do with Grunt. Grunt is not a choice, it's a problem, because waking him up offers you a far more tangible reward - another squad member, access to discounts, extra experience and equipment, and a new bonus talent. Or you can just never wake him up. This isn't a choice because a choice should be between two things of equal or incomparable value, which this isn't.

    ... wut?

    OK, how about this choice.

    You can live for 30 years, get married, have 8 kids, get a great house and career, and live life to its fullest.

    ME3 will be after the Reaper invasion, with Shepard fighting an increasingly desperate resistance front. Eventually the Geth will yield the conclusion that Mass Relays can be used to project kill signals at Reapers in their systems, but at the cost of the Relay itself. The Quarians at the same time have weaponised dark energy, but they have to use suns as fuel. Shepard must choose between making entire worlds dark and uninhabitable(Renegade), or isolating the races of the universe to their systems until they progress along their own path to Mass Relay equivalent travel (Paragon) to finally destroy the Reapers entirely.

    That is a surprisingly possible outcome for ME3. I'm shocked. Reminds me of the TNG episode where they find out warp travel is destroying space itself. Of course the outcome in that one can't affect future episodes so they just make it so they go a little slower most of the time.

    I think the whole problems versus choices thing is a bit pedantic, but the Grunt thing is kind of one sided, at least to me. If you're hardcore roleplaying, then sure, but otherwise I can't imagine why you would neglect a party member that was a large part of the advertising and box and disc art.

    This also irritated me. You were presented a choice to open up Grunt which was presented as risky, but because of those little character testimonial videos they put out, I knew what was going on. I also knew Okeer wasn't the Krogan I was recruiting. I mean, it's a small thing (like Jack's gender, which they apparently wanted to be a surprise) but it kind of killed it. Couldn't they have showcased Samara and Jacob on those videos and kept the surprise?

    Marketing exists at many levels and some of them are almost certainly not completely under Bioware's control - both in terms of lead time as well as who decides what to reveal. Also, things can change radically, even at the very late stages of development. In ME1 the planet Calistan was in the game to such a late point that it was featured in a TV ad as well as the art book - yet no such planet was in the game that was released. Calistan was apparently cut and partially transformed into Therum.

    In the Blur-produced ME2 trailer, Jack is a dude. Dude's body, dude's hands. Either it was intentional misdirection or at some point the character was male. The Blur trailer was released long after the "Subject Zero Revealed" trailer, but the Blur trailer was probably already well under production beforehand.

    One thing I don't get about the end game is
    how the Normandy got back from the center of the galaxy. You need a mass relay to catapult you distances like that, don't you? And don't you need a receiving mass relay? We didn't see one when the Normandy popped in.

    I guess it might have been the Collector base, but if you blew it up...

    I'm pretty sure there is a mass relay in that field of debris. Perhaps you don't see it in the cinematic, but it must be there. It's just how the mass relays in the Mass Effect universe work.

    But there probably is some sort of Mass Relay hidden there in all the rubble. Finding it would be a challenge though.

    Love the idea of coming into the Reaper invasion some time into it.

    I reckon me3 will open with you at the head of the alliance fleet you built up in the previous games, so if you saved the rachni they are there, if you saved the destiny ascension it's there, and so forth. You put out a few fires in the fleet and go straight into battle against the reapers. An epic space battle occurs, highlighted by a masons battle inboard a reaper flagship. Depending on how well
    you gthered allies, your fleet may win or lose this battle
    while you disable the flagship.

    However as you either fall back or regroup after your victory, thousands more reapers jump in, including harbinger who is some kind of super ship, then the whole 'which super tech shall I use' thing you describe comes up. Although, clearly the thing about the mass relay attack
    choice is that it hands the galaxy to the geth, who are immortal machines. I reckon there will be a 'human supremacy' option too, where you can hide every human system inside a biotic barrier, and then emerge 10000 years later with humanity as the new super race.

    That is a surprisingly possible outcome for ME3. I'm shocked. Reminds me of the TNG episode where they find out warp travel is destroying space itself. Of course the outcome in that one can't affect future episodes so they just make it so they go a little slower most of the time.

    How... how was warp travel destroying space itself?

    anti-neutrinos were slowly dissolving the positronic space-time fabric.

    Magic, got it.

    a Reaper did it.

    In the Blur-produced ME2 trailer, Jack is a dude. Dude's body, dude's hands. Either it was intentional misdirection or at some point the character was male. The Blur trailer was released long after the "Subject Zero Revealed" trailer, but the Blur trailer was probably already well under production beforehand.

    Someone claimed that the original intention was for Jack to be male or female depending on if you were a male or female Shepard. I don't really know how much validity this claim has or where they got it from.

    But something I heard on the official forum.

    Seeing as the developers have came in here and said that wasn't the case multiple times, I think very little.

    I thought they just went out of their way to say Jack was a girl. I don't remember taky or anyone delving deep into ME2's infantile stage or anything..did they?

    I picked up an old game of ME1 in order to finish it and then replay ME2.

    How can you tell if Bring down the sky is correctly installed? I thought I went through the installer but I see no sign of it in game.
