The only part of this that I don't like is the "May not be squadmates" about Legion, Wrex, and Mordin. I need them in my squad!! Especially Legion. Glad to see Garrus, Liara, and Ashley/Kaiden are confirmed squadmates. I think its safe to say that Miranda and Tali will be squadmates as well, because of the ability to romance them.

 

TIM and Cerberus out to kill Shepard will be supah fun! As long as I get Miranda, Garrus, Legion, and Thane I dont really care who are squadmates tbh. I hope the ditch Butch... i mean... Jack....

 

Thanks for the post sunnygrg!

Also. If James Sanders is that dude from Big Ben, then I'm happy.

I always assumed that certain characters, like those 3, wouldn't be squad mates but would be recruitable allies as generals/admirals. Imagine flying into battle with Wrex commanding the Krogan armies, Legion commanding a Geth armada, and Mordin back with the STG.

 

Overall, this is a lot like I was expecting and that is awesome. Can't wait :D

I thought of the same thing. Certain team mates just screamed future leaders of their respective races so I made sure I kept them alive and beefed up their forces (save heretics).

 

I am pissed Cerebus will be against Sheppard. I hope the way we played 2 will allow a change in this. I was always a pro-cerebus sheppard. I want to stay with them not fight them.

I would be completely satisfied with that if they give me Thane back haha

 

That would be pretty awesome though.

I am loving the idea that Cerebus is pissed at Shepard but I wonder if Miranda and Jacob are included in that hatered interesting :think:

 

Lets be honest this game is gonna be amazing I mean seriously how could it fail?

 

Don't know about Jacob, but I'm pretty sure that Miranda will stay with Shepard. After all she even tells TIM to shove it if she's loyal =)

Couldn't agree with you more. And what about Miranda & Jacob leading a splinter group of Cerberus agents loyal to Shepard? And what about the Migrant Fleet joining in on the action?

 

Got to get "Arrival" before this comes out. Damn the PSN being down. :wall:

I just read that there is going to be a "Robotic Dog for on board the Normandy"

not sure how true this is, it was on the ebgames web site.

 

It comes as a download with the special edition of the game. The picture seems to show that it's a Fenris mech and I would assume it's just another pet for Shepard to have like the fish or the space hamster.

- Shepard is on trial in regard to the events of Arrival

 

Looks like I have to re-install Mass Effect 2 on my computer and complete this DLC before starting ME3 then. :D

 

- Cerberus is out to kill Shepard

 

This I don't get though. What if you did agree with everything that Cerberus did in ME2?

 

Overall looks awesome, I'm still afraid this will replace MGS 1 as my top 1 game ever. :o

This is the kind of thing that looks like a spoiler to me and I sure wish everyone was more careful about what is posted. I am leaving this game's forum now because it is clear I don't want to know some of these details. :(

WTF? I just learned Ashley now has the rank of Lt. Commander. How did this religious fanatic and xenophobe bitch got a commission? What did she do that is so incredible to go from enlisted to commissioned officer? This is absolutely horrible.

 

Mass Effect

Oh I don't know, how about helping Shepard with everything in Mass Effect 1? :p Just because she is, in your words, a "religious fanatic and xenophobe bitch" doesn't mean she isn't a competant soldier worthy of a higher position. I for one like Ashley, its nice to see a religious character in the game.

 

EDIT: And if it bothers you that much, just have her die in ME1. Problem solved, you never have to see her again. Your welcome ;)
