DarthParametric Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I would presume the ME3 import does something along those lines, just automatically. Much like Awakening, it probably just takes a pre-final mission save and inserts a canon ending. In some respects they were doing this across the board already, assuming the events of LotSB and Arrival happened regardless of whether your Shep played the DLC or not.

Totenkopf Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 That's stupid. They made it clear before Mass Effect 2 came out that if your Shepard died during Mass Effect 2, their story was over. Besides, what's so difficult about reloading to just before the end-game and doing it a different way so their Shepard lived? Or is that just too difficult? Given how lazy people are anymore, likely the latter. It's pretty stupid, I agree. Afterall, going back a loyalty mission or two (most aren't very long, much faster than starting from scratch) would fix the problem (well, that and making sure you had all the proper ship upgrades).

DarthParametric Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 From Twitter: "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 ;)" So it seems it was just another gaffe from that clueless marketing idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, because it's kind of hard to explain away getting incinerated in a massive explosion at the centre of the galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkonium Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Cloned from a eyelash found on the Normandy. Except that would leave the problem of Shepard's memories, since the wouldn't get that off an eyelash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you didn't know about Magical Mass Effect-Powered Memory Downloader/Uploader Thingamajiggabob? We introduced it in this game. Funny we didn't mention it before. Shepard downloaded his memories just before he died in there, lol. Go upload them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 On the other hand, if Shepard can get better from being dead, I'm pretty sure he/she can get better from being reduced to dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taak Farst Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I wonder how many posts ago this thread was truly derailed Anyway, Phaedon later posted on twitter after saying a "special import for dead sheps might be possible" that this was a mistake and these imports WONT BE possible in ME3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 So canon FemShep is a redhead it would seem? http://deltagamer.com/15039/new-femshep-artwork-revealed-at-pax I guess all the blonde haters will be happy.

Qui-Gon Glenn Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 ^^^ Nice to read about some gameplay experience. The POV of the author was a little hard to follow, but nevertheless this fed my ME3 needs for the day Thanks mimi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 According to a few reports, all based on a comment by Rob Blake on Twitter, Mass Effect will have around 40,000 lines of dialogue. Mass Effect had around 20,000 and Mass Effect 2 had around 25,000. Examiner BeefJack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Multiplayer Mode Confirmed “That’s right – Mass Effect 3 is getting multiplayer! We travel to BioWare’s office in Edmonton for hands-on time with the series’ first foray into online gameplay, and chat with Mass Effect Series Producer and Mass Effect 3 Project Director Casey Hudson about the decision to go multiplayer in the epic battle for the galaxy.” Nooooooooooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Multiplayer Mode Confirmed Depends on how it's introduced. Dead Space 2 has multiplayer.. but it's just maps. Nothing storyline or anything to do with the SP campaign. Same with AC: Brotherhood. (and countless others). As long as it's optional, I don't care. Once it interferes (being mandatory for completion) with the campaign, then it's breached SP etiquette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 what ChAiNz wrote....my question it has been confirmed that ME3 has almost twice the lines of lines of dialogue as ME and now mutiplayer...How long will it take to download this? Sorry steam/xbox live I'll buy the dics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My money is on it being some kind of co-op feature. Perhaps Bioware learned a thing or two about co-op from working on The Old Republic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Advocate Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Dang it Astor! You beat me to it! I'm not liking this one bit, because whether it's co-op or something else, there'll be, without a doubt, achievements/trophies that require usage of multiplayer. Without Live, I'm kind of incapable of acquiring said achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
