New details on Mass Effect 3 from GI- wow!

Humans aren't the only species that can be Husk-ified.

ME3 begins with Earth's assault by the Reapers, and things don't look so good, but there's something that is a silver lining, that makes it look like it's actually possible to not lose against the reapers .

TIM has sent his top agents to take down Shepard, The combat is going to be much harder and melee attacks are going to have more focus.

Shooting specific armor parts can have certain effects, and the AI of the enemies will have them routing Shepard and will coordinate with each other

Battlefields are going to be a great deal larger, and combat will be very varied.

Enemy Weapons can be PICKED UP. Soldiers can carry all kinds of weapons, and other ****s understandably less so.

There is a larger skill tree and RPG aspects are going to be more integrated.

Weapon Modding is a greenlight, with things like barrels and scopes

Modding your weapons will vastly affect their appearance and how they function in battle

So far the CONFIRMED SQUADMATES are: Ashley/Kaiden, Liara, Garrus, and James Sanders who is mentioned is an Alliance Marine

Species Loyalty cannot only get obtained via Quests

Levels will have ladders

Available Squadmates will still maintain a balance, if per say Garrus had not survived ME2's events

ME1's Decisions such as sparing the Rachni will have a grave impact in ME

There's no railroad to the end of the game, there are multiple paths to take back Earth

This game looks unbelievable. Never thought they could improve so much on ME2.

Yes! Finally! :cry:

So awesome.

ME1's Decisions such as sparing the Rachni will have a grave impact in ME

KristoffBrujah

I'm really torn on which platform I should get it on. 360 or PC. On the 360 I have my ME1 character all the way through ME2. On PC I just have ME2. percech

Harder combat and larger levels? Hype +100

ME1's Decisions such as sparing the Rachni will have a grave impact in ME

Sounds like Bioware is listening to its fanbase. ME3 sounds really awesome thus far. millerlight89

Humans aren't the only species that can be Husk-ified.

Wasn´t Saren a Turian husk?

Great info btw!!! Cant wait for this game.

Does the PS3 version comic thingy let you make decisions like the Rachni queen? danish-death

I shouldn't have spared the Rachni? Oh ****. :( At least I get Garrus back. enterawesome

I could see the Rachni potentially helping Shepard too.

It sounds like they are listing to their fan base. I hpoe this game comes out good.

Makes me wonder how Wrex will feel since I didn't save the genophage cure.

[QUOTE="SkyWard20"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] ^This. After the Dragon Age 2 damage control, it's kind of hard to believe. Also, Wrex has to come back as a party member. HAS to.DarkLink77

Why did I know, that as soon as I start talking about BioWare, someone who dislikes the company will mention Dragon Age 2 without any relevance to my post at all? Every. Single. Time. >_>

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="SkyWard20"] Why? The Mass Effect team seemed to listen to its fanbase since Mass Effect 1. Mass Effect 2 had a lot of things freely done to appeal to the fanbase, such as a Tali romance, no Mako, etc.SkyWard20

Why did I know, that as soon as I start talking about BioWare, someone who dislikes the company will mention Dragon Age 2 without any relevance to my post at all? Every. Single. Time. >_>

And people bring up Dragon Age 2 because it's the same company, and Dragon Age 2 was clearly designed in a way that would capitalize on Mass Effect's success. It's not hard to figure out.

And I knew it would be you because you defend the company, just like dreman and texas do, fyi, though you are by far the best spoken and least fanboyish of the three, and the only one I wouldn't qualify as an apologist. :D

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Why did I know, as soon as I saw your name in the new reply area, that you would be replying to me? How did I know? :roll: Because when people complained about Dragon Age 2, BioWare (and the apologists) basically called them morons that couldn't understand the game and couldn't deal with the evolution of design? A lot of people complained about stuff in Mass Effect 2, like planet scanning, the lack of weapon mods, smaller skill trees, etc. It's nice to see the Mass Effect team listening, at least.SkyWard20

But apologists and official forums.

I am glad, ME3 is back on my really want list. ME 2 was just a disaster as far as I'm concerned.

This is just incredible, I saw some pictures of the GI article with weapons and enemys and wow, I can't wait to see more. I hope they deliver all promises and more!

[QUOTE="SkyWard20"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] You came to reason that I have no complaints about Dragon Age 2, that I accept any change, and that your complaints were valid all along, everything in one sentence? Shocking.GeneralShowzer

But apologists and official forums.

Why did I know, as soon as I saw DL and GS I knew they would have problems with ME2 :P SaltyMeatballs

Aslong as it doesn't have a Mako, or planet scanning, I'm hyped for it.

Loved Mass Effect 2, but 3 sounds even better. As long as the combat is vastly more varied, I'll be 100% happy. My 1 problem with ME2 was the repetitive combat (ok, and scanning...)

You need external USB memory for your 360, move your 360 save onto your external USB memory (go to I think this is the path: system settings > memory > wherever your ME2 save is).

Plug your USB into your PC, use program called MODIO (version 3.0 works best) to extract the save from the USB (more info here: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/128/index/2277020), upload to this site and convert to PC save: http://b4rt.rootnode.net/masseffect/index.php (you have to register, but it's quick)

Ok ME is like my favorite RPG series this gen and I'm very excited for this, but why did they have to sex up Ashley, beef up Anderson, and make it look almost nothing like the first one?

Yes! Finally! :cry:

Disapointed with multiple endings, means there is no deffinitive ending to the saga

hopefully the whole story and everything isnt as predictable, and they fix they pacing, for some reason i found the pacing off in ME2. i think im one of the few that actually enjoyed the first morexXxQuizzyxXx

nope i too though me1 was much better, the story was better and i also liked the ambition and scale of the game (i loved the mako the first few times i used it to land on alien planets unfortunately there was a lack of decent content on the planets)

As in ladders, those metal things with rungs which you climb up to get somewhere...TheOtherTheoG
