    Read it.

    I laughed, I cried, I thought it was awesome.

    That's why Saren helped the Reapers. He thought they had the technology to make the Mass Effect/Red Faction fusion happen.

    The council certainly wouldn't do it.

    I still think we should have that power combining stuff.

    I love being able to mix and match abilities in video games.

    What seems like a stupid opinion to you may not be to others, ya know.

    You don't wanna buy a separate game? I don't want to see the third installment of this awesome franchised ruined by "Wtf, sentinels are too OP!" or "lulz, u only won cause you were infiltrator". A multiplayer facet to a game is undoubtedly going to detract from the single-player experience, where a dedicated multiplayer Mass Effect game(probably a MMO in all honesty) won't do that.

    Exactly. If they try to implement multiplayer in ME3 it will most likely be a tacked on, cumbersome thing that pleases no one. They need to focus on giving us an awesome story and singleplayer experience in Mass Effect 3, and that won't happen if they try and turn it in to "Mass Effect 3 Modern space warfare"

    Yeah. I don't mind multiplayer game but have it be a spin-off. ME has always been a personal experience to me.

    Wait a minute...a co-op/multiplayer experience based around the ME universe.

    That can only mean one thing! Wrex/Garrus buddy cop game centered around Gears of War-esque gameplay.

    I can see it now!

    The Wrex/Garrus body cop game would be set after the end of ME3. After helping to defeat the Reapers and save all life in the galaxy most would be happy to retire, not Wrex and Garrus!

    They will fly around the galaxy in their own bitchin' rad starship, righting wrongs! Bedding beautiful woman! Smoking Cigars! And walking slowly away from explosions!

    Though, the awesomeness of this all aside.

    They could also be planning some game based off the Corsairs or something.

    You know, maybe squad-based missions like that one Star Wars game that fails me where you played as Stormtroopers.

    If I remember correctly I think that game was Republic commando, it was pretty good and something like that would probably work well for Mass Effect. But, to be honest, I don't really care what they do with multiplayer so long as it stays away from ME3.

    Guys, it's one job listing cover a spectrum of MP roles. Unless a bunch more show up, Modern Effect 2: Space-Off ain't likely.

    If it's co-op, though, maybe we'll get to see Saren and Anderson back when they were teamed up. Or Saren and Nihlus, to make the latter less of a waste of cool.

    Finding someone on the Citadel (not a very good name, given what happened) can be a pain in the ass.

    I'm trying to hand over the Forged IDs after Garrus' loyalty quest (not entirely convinced I made the right choice for him), and I can't see who I'm supposed to give it to.

    Yeah, for some reason, no one at C-Sec lets me end the quest. I dunno, maybe it's just a weird bug.

    You don't "hand them over." You use them to sneak some Asari through customs, or you don't. You can also invoke your spectre status or just help them.

    Holy crap. I had that TIM glitch happen in the end - you know where
    he appears in the cracks of the ceiling after the reaper falls down (once all four tubes are destroyed).
    I know Juc said it's a glitch, but it just felt freaky. It's like this whole thing is just a little science experiment in his fish bowl and he's surveying his little people play around.

    Ok, I'm putting the game on pause now for the time being. I've done every class, every romance, paragon/renegade, meer/hale combo that I can think of. I must have over ten "runs" ready for ME3 ports. Of course I realise the one play I don't have: no romance option in ME1 or ME2. I just KNOW bioware are going to give players a reason to stay celibate the first two games. Shiala? Gianna? The consort? Anderson? There's gotta be something there. Something like Tali, i.e. familiar yet elusive. Thoughts? Should I put on the visor for one last run (prob to tie in to Overlord DLC)?
