After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
I was listening to a presentation from DICE and had an idea for ME3.
Episodic Content!
This might be a better idea as DLC for ME2 but my thinking is I might want to play as someone other than Shepard. So we could get some DLC with you taking off as Garus or Grunt or whoever and pulling a mission or two for Shepard in the down time between 2 & 3. Sent Miranda to infiltrate a Cerberus Facility to see what the Illusive man is doing with the Collector base, Tali has to convice the Fleet to destroy or make peace with the Geth, Mordin has to cure the Genophage to get the Krogan ready for the Reapers, Grunt has to help Wrex unite the clans ... etc.
There are a whole lot of possibilites here that could have a nice 1-3 hr expreience with a begining a middle and end and giving us a wider variety of gameplay rather than just another guy/girl saving the galaxy and could add even more depth to the world and the characters.
Hot damn I am brilliant!!....or maybe not but it was fun to think about.
Yeah that would be quite cool. I just wonder if they will pull a character reset trick at the start of ME3, if they do it with have to be a bit more obscure than it was in ME2.
ooooooooh! Maybe they can have Segways replace the Mako!
I think that they must have a chatacter reset in order to encourage players to use old saves and not have said players feel boxed into a play-style that may have gotten stale. It could fit into the above narrative, Shepard goes off to some Alliance or Councel super soldier creating facility and the team must gather intel/set the stage for the final show down. (I'm not a writer, a professional could do a better job with that)
" Yeah that would be quite cool. I just wonder if they will pull a character reset trick at the start of ME3, if they do it with have to be a bit more obscure than it was in ME2.
Also segways!

lol. now the gangsters will fear the police REALLY much !

I think that the level cap being at level 30 is because you'll start at 30 in ME3. I mean, if you're playing ME3 without having at least played ME2, you're a moron and deserver to have to spend 20 minutes distributing your skill points.
@benitobb: That's what I am afraid of, I love me some Shepard but it would give me a better connection to the other characters plus provide a nice change of prespective to have the cammera over someone elses shoulder. And if you are going to have some DLC it might as well take care of explaining what happened in between the 2 major titles.
What's better than a segway? a Segway you can ride in space Mass Effect 3 should have space segways for traveling couldn't be worse than the weird travel method of Mass Effect 2
@Fait622: I like the idea, but I think that a lot of your suggestions are left open ended at the end of ME2 with the intention of being solved in ME3. If they told us what the Illusive man was doing with the collector base, and solved the geth stuff, there would be way less of a hook for ME3.
I am hoping that you either destroy the geth, or recruit them to fight against the reapers in 3, which will be crazy insane. My guess is you will be uniting all the major races against the reapers, which means visiting species' homewords; I am stoked to see all the planets!
Also I bet we will finally get to go to Earth, which should be badass. That or it will be possible for Earth to get destroyed, which would be crazy.
Err yeah, I digress!
I hope they do some sort of episodic stuff, it might be somewhat tricky though, since they have to avoid major plot lines.
EDIT: Oh also, they totally would be crucified if they had any story elements in DLC, unless it was free.
About the Shepard bit, I think that you'll make a completely new character under Shepard's command. The save will determine who else is on the team and what kind of a person your Shepard is. I can't really see another way, apart from starting from a certain level, but the guys at BioWare said that if Shepard's dead, he won't appear in ME3. So it's a good fit.
" I think it'd be funny if Bioware let you go to a Turian colony, their excuse would be that Palaven is too radioactive, Shepard would get skin cancer. Then again I wonder how Jack stayed alive on that quarian world where the sun was about to melt the surface. "
I'd like to see some DLC set between ME and ME2 showing what happened after the destruction of the Normandy and you get to play as some different members of the party as they all go their separate ways.
@Ninja: Somebody better make some motherfucking games with some motherfucking segway so we can add them to the motherfucking GBwiki! On a similar note, does anybody know the other, proper spelling of a segway, which means to transition into something? It's completely different than the motor vehicle.
Segway or Segue, it's known generally to most people as a segway, regardless of the name being technically wrong or speculated as segway, the facts are there, just nobody really reads that lol.
And I would rather have some kind of Go Kart around the citadel, now that would be awesome.
@Napalm: Now actually, a segway would be kinda cool on the Normandy, then again so would a small go kart, coming up the elevator in a go kart then swerving round and taking out Kelly's shins with the front bumper would be really funny, and she'd have no right to complain because she's annoying and pointless anyway. lol
@Napalm: I was just imagining Shepard and me riding go karts round the Normandy and knocking over Zaeed's stuff in his small hidey hole of a room and him going ape shit over it.
@Napalm:@Fait622: So what you guys are saying is that me posting a picture of the motor vehicle was completely on-topic because of a miss-spelling :P AWESOME!
