Mass Effect 3 Wishlist

This is what I would like to see in ME3. Please add to the list!

Possible ME 2 spoilers.

1. Bring back planet exploration, but with more interesting terrain. I really enjoyed the open roaming under alien skies, but they should let you fly the shuttle instead of being on the ground.

2. Resource scanning should be made more fun and less time consuming.

3. More 'secret' squad members like Morinth.

4. I want to see Tali's face in the new one.

5. Drastic consequences for decisions. I think it would be interesting if there was an ending where the Reapers win and everything gets destroyed.

6. Similar to #5, I want to see major effects from helping various factions in ME 1 and 2 (saving the Rachni, curing the genophage, rewriting the heretic geth)

7. It would be cool if there were seperate cooldown times for biotic, combat and tech talents, that way you could use two at once if you are a mixed class.

8. A very concrete explanation of the origins, nature, and motives of the Reapers.

9. Even more epic cutscenes (ME 2 was excellent in this regard)

10. A mission-only co-op mode, maybe even separate from the SP game entirely, ala GRAW 2. Think how awesome it would be to have two squads of three tearing it up in specially designed missions.

11. Have some secret items scattered around the uncharted worlds so you are getting more than just XP when you go exploring.

12. Better hacking/decryption minigames

13. Some sort of combat/talent bonus for a team member you romance.

14. Unique bosses that aren't just mercs with extra shielding/barriers/armor.

15. A longer main storyline. The richness of the side missions in ME2 is great, but there are only 5 main missons: Prologue, Colony, Collector Vessel, Derelict Reaper, Suicide Mission. Same with ME 1: Eden Prime, Feros, Noveria, Virmire, Ilos. I think that we should get at least 10 main story missions.

Take away the menus for karma meter. Don't highlight options either red or blue. That way the player doesn't say "well I have to pick this since i'm playing Paragon". Yet keep all the consequences and everything the same. Basically keep the system, just take away any notifications so you get a more natural karma system with players picking what they want rather than clicking the blue option just because.

[spoiler] No scanning for minerals. Or at least allow me to streamline the process (i.e. insta-scan but only 80% of total minerals?). [/spoiler]

co op would be nice

(Slight spoilers) i want ashley available as a love interest and playable character.

Just finished ME2 thought it had huge problems:

Bring back armour for your team. Hunting for the best Quarian armour for Tali in the first game was one of my favourite bits.

A quest that doesn't just involve finding new requits and then solving their personal problems.

A much better end battle than ME2, more like ME1 because hte ME2 end battle isn't as good in any way.

More information about what damage different weapons do and what type.

Bring back weapon customisation.

Make more of an effort to increase the areas you can access on Illium, Tchunka, the Fleet and even the Citadel, each area you can access is tiny in comparison to the size of the location you are in.

Have planet side landing using the Hammerhead that is preceeded by an initial planet wide scan by EDI to give you the locations of resource deposit.

Increase the life on the planets, more big beasties to kill like the Thresher Maw.

Have more small areas that you can discover and solve small quests these were sorely missed in ME2

Reduce the team slightly so you can concentrate on the members of the team that still exist.

6. Give us a higher ammo limit. Running out of ammo is annoying when it takes a whole clip to take down an average enemyBlack_Knight_00

I'm sorry did we play the same game? I never ran out of ammo on normal setting using an Engineer with a Submachine Gun, Carnifex, Shotgun and more often than not the beam laser as my heavy weapon. In fact 9 times out of 10 I solely use the Carnifex. Sometimes it ran low on Ammo but then I had three other weapons to kill things with.

I think you did quite the research here and I follow you completely. I love the idea of #10. I think I got goosebumps just thinking of it. But co-op in single-player would be nostalgic.. And more sequences like the opening of the game. When I popped in ME2, I didn't expect that opening sequence.. the Normandy splitting apart.. everything is chaotic, dark, I was blown away... I want to see more of that in ME3. More of a dark, intense game.Elian2530

The opening is about the best bit of the whole game. When you walk into the area before the cockpit and bump into the chair and it just slowly floats away that's just awesome. After that everything else is a bit 'samey' and less epic.

i really like ME 2 with all its little upgrades scaning the planets for hours on end like a science officer should. Way better then insta dead by an unseen emimie underneath you.

whatever colour armor you wanted... cool sheilds and powers to boot! they are only going up from here!
