logan23 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 @Lynk Former- Thanks for placing as a Spoiler band,..my bad I heard Tali gets eaten by a Reaper in Act II. Maybe Tali falls in love with a younger Reaper and their child will be the character in mass effect 4 I wonder if they will show Tali's face? If Tali's face looks like a Vorcha...will you still love her...in the Romance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 @Achilles- Thanks for placing as a Spoiler band,..my bad I did that. Also, I'm sure this is just some kind of conspiracy from BioWare where they've ordered everyone to not show Tali at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Remember this is a late in the game view of the ship,.. meaning maybe Tali is heading the Quarian fleet - replacing her father. That's my guess =) I can't wait to play this game! I have a few different saved me2 games as well as the genius for me2 so i can always create a new build- and want to see how the different missing me2 or me1 characters affect the story, or tweak it. =) I inferred that he was using an imported save, so maybe Tali died in his Mass Effect 2 playthrough.

Dread Advocate Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I heard a rumor earlier today that some people who got the space edition are claiming that multiplayer is required to beat the story 100%. Has anyone heard anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's not required, it just makes it easier to get the best ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Advocate Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Okay. I'll assume that it's still possible to achieve the best ending without mulitplayer then, at least until the game is officially released and more details are known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The GAME thing is not EA deciding not to sell to them, it's GAME not accepting EA's credit policy. The way the bricks and mortar retail games industry works with local publishers is that unsold copies can be returned for credit (which is why you always see articles cautioning about the difference between shipped and sold sales figures). What it boils down to is that GAME is broke and wasn't happy with what EA was offering. They wanted a special deal and didn't get it, so they will no longer stock any upcoming EA releases, including ME3. As much as it pains me to say it, EA are not the bad guys here. It's just one of the inevitable outcomes of a transition to a digital distribution model. Expect more of this sort of thing in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Makes sense. I mean, how does EA benefit (read: make more money) from GAME not selling Mass Effect 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I doubt it will even be a blip on their radar. I don't know much about the specifics of the UK situation, being on the other side of the world and all, but an article over at RPS indicates that a number of chain stores there are poised to swoop in and take GAME's market share. Which would likely be why EA wasn't willing to cut a deal - they are the ones in the position of strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salzella Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Okay. I'll assume that it's still possible to achieve the best ending without mulitplayer then, at least until the game is officially released and more details are known. Yep, they've explicitly said that you don't require the multiplayer for the best possible ending. I should point out at this point that the multiplayer is actually pretty fantastic. I was as skeptical as anyone when they first announced it, but it's really fun. And I also enjoy playing as other races from a geeky point-of-view. It's this sort of thing that is to blame for fan-fiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/121/1219765p1.html Still pushing the "great entry point for new people" angle. As Vader might say, I find the comparison to the Star Trek reboot disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this sort of thing that is to blame for fan-fiction While I'm very sure that multiplayer is fun, the issue is that I don't have an Xbox Live connection. If I ever get Live in the mid-far future, ME3 multiplayer will be the first multiplayer I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan23 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The whole entry into the game series is just them making sure new players know they won't be entering a game and go ...wtf is going on. I think the star trek reboot example is a poor one but most likely it is used to get scifi like trekis to look at the game. Basically it's marketing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm not sure how anyone can say that the 3rd and final part in any series - be it games, books, movies, etc. - is the ideal entry point with a straight face. The Star Trek reboot comparison is troubling because he makes out it was beloved by one and all, newcomers and the existing fanbase. I've never been a big fan of Trek, but my understanding of the reboot is that it went down with the old time fans about as well as the Star Wars prequels did with most OT fans. Not a scenario you'd like to see emulated in the ME series (although it would be unsurprising given what happened with the DA series). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taak Farst Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have now managed to rush through the internet UK crowd and pre-order the 360 CE this mornin'. I have to say, it has been one of the most, in my experience, annoying games to buy in the UK, which I blame hugely on GAME. EA, I don't feel are at fault.

mimartin Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I heard Tali gets eaten by a Reaper in Act II. Shepard killed Tali in ME2, it just took awhile for the space herpes to do its job acdcfanbill may be one of the few I know that will get that reference.

Achilles Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 EDIT: The places selling ME3 with the N7 Warfare Pre-Order bonuses seem to only be giving them with standard editions. Do CE not get? Wow, Kaiden really bulked up after getting nuked on Virmire. Some sort of Marvel/Bioware crossover, maybe? FWIW, GameStop pre-order bonuses appear to apply to both versions. It's been my experience that you don't need to actually pre-order the game to get said pre-order bonuses, simply purchase your game from that retailer.

Salzella Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 http://blog.bioware.com/2012/03/01/reputation-in-mass-effect-3/ nice article on the 'reputation' system. It sounds great to me, if only because of the 'There’s no penalty for mixing Paragon and Renegade' clause. finally!! probably my main problem with ME2 was being forced to be extremely paragon or renegade to achieve the objectives. finally my Shepard can complete her descent into renegadism(ish) without not being able to actually *do* stuff!
