Great job CJ. Good stuff here. :)

Thanks man. Gave me something to do this week. :)

I don't even know why I read this stuff for ME3. I know it's gonna be awesome. I actually don't need any reassurance for this game. I just can't help myself.

Im glad Kelly is returning, I don't know what I would do if I had to feed the fish myself.

He seemed a bit iffy on the certainty of her return. By the way he answered that, it kinda sounded like she'll make a brief appearance. Like she says hi before she gets sent off to jail to be interrogated regarding Cerberus secrets. :/

Fucking romances.

@nail1080: Exactly my thought. HEY, let's go to the homeplanets of these alien races, but all the women are in their kitchens making shit.

Can't freaking wait. Aside from Uncharted 3, there is nothing I want to play more then this.

@CrossTheAtlantic: You're welcome. Hope at least something of it was positive to you. :)

Also not super pumped about fighting Cerberus (even though I know the IM's eyes were probably a sign that something was up) or at least knowing about it already

@PhatSeeJay: I suspect that she died for most people, in my first run she died and only later I found out you can save her.

@Mr_Skeleton: Yeah that was actually shocking to me. When the crew got collected I was all "ok let's get the eff in there and save them." and saved the entire crew. Though I thought that was just a story element and didn't really play part in the gameplay, but then I heard Kelly and the crew could die if you went doing more missions so I was all "oh fuck.. if I hadn't moved in immediately they would have died." Certainly a wtf moment I'll take with me for a while.

Gotta admit that I'm extremely disappointed that they aren't including female models of salarians, turians, and what have you. My Shepard doesn't discriminate against loving if it's in his/her heart.

And man, the enemies in the second video don't know how to shoot. I kinda scoffed when that guy said the AI was better when I saw a a pair of soldiers that were just standing a moment later.

The Q&A streams are over. Last scheduled ME3 event is an interview with the artist Patryk Garret, who's fan art of Mass Effect rendered him an employment at Bioware.

More images of German Shepard can be found here.

• Miranda will be back and has unfinished business with Shepard.

Now I've got to do a play through where Kall'Reeger doesn't die.

This sample image of Patryk Garrett's final fan image - before he starts working at Bioware - marks the end of Gamescom's streams of Mass Effect.

Thanks for reading and I'm eager to see what comes next week at PAX!

@PhatSeeJay: That's so great how much repping they are giving that guy and even hiring him. His work is amazing!

Wow. I knew I loved that guys artwork, but I didn't know it was job-worthy(Even though it's REALLY REALLY GOOD).

Again, great job! I missed a whole lot of this stuff and it's great that someone is keeping it together very neatly.

Also, I know I'm probably going to be wrong and am only half-serious about this right now, but I have a feeling that James Vega is going to be voiced by either Val Kilmer or Nolan North.

Wait? He is workig at Bioware now? Holy shit that is awesome!

So psyched. Sooooo psyched. Looks like it'll be a mix between the best parts of ME2 and ME1.

@Rufi91: @N7: @Dany: Yeah he won the art competition at comic con and David Silverman sprung the surprise announcement that they intend to hire him. He certainly deserves the opportunity with his fan art being in a whole different league.

Patryk Olejniczak is Polish. That is awesome.

More people need to see this fantastic wrap up you did on the first page. Seriously, fantastic work.

I can support this bump.

Fem Shep is looking hot, I may need to finally play one.  Hope we see some stuff on the Vanguard soon.
 
Both the Joker romances sound very stupid.  Give me the option to kill him instead.

Agreed! PhatSeeJay fucking outdid himself with this thread I wanna feel the hype, but i just can't. I'm as excited for ME3 as the next guy, but i just can't get hype!

Thanks for the warm words guys.

A small correction for one of the Q&A Questions, more specifically the one about the 'special save' from ME3.

@gtez Tweeted:

@ME3News The Shepard dies import is not currently on the table. I think that was a slip of the tongue. If shep dies in ME2 he's dead ;)

This came up when this Twitter account pretty much copied and pasted my summary without crediting me. :P
