I want those drones.
When Cerberus revives your Shepard you can edit all characteristics if you like, the only things that remain permanent are your choices from the previous game.
Nice, going to have to do that then.
Does ME2 still have the whole "Complete this acheivement, use this gun on another character" that Mass Effect 1 had on the Xbox?
So if my Soldier uses his Assault Rifle exclusively, will I be able to start a new game of a Engineer who can use the Assault Rifle?
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

No, but there's a point in the game where you either become able to use a new weapon type (assault rifles, sniper rifles, or shotguns), or get a new weapon if you can already use a given type (heavy machine gun, anti-material rifle, or... larger shotgun). This carries over to subsequent playthroughs, but can only be taken once (sadly).

Did you see what the bug looks like? Look more closely and they compare that shape to the Reaper... ( 0:17 to be precise ).

Slightly on topic, how many Reapers do ya guys think we'll encounter? I think Shep & the squad will probably only attack the "Boss" Reaper while everyone else gets their gak pwnd by the "ordinary" Reapers.
Also, I saved The Heretic Geth on Legion's Loyalty mission. Do you think that Legion would lead a Geth army to help stop the "Old Machines" because of that? (B/C if he did, that would be bad ass)

1. Soverign said that "their number cover up the sun of every world" so hundreds, thousands, millions...
2. BioWare will not tell us how to defeat them until we actually play the game.
3. Saving the Heretics may insure Geth loyalty in a fight for Earth. Renegade option probably means that they will give us the bird and tell us to f*** ourselves.
4. We shall see all in part 3...
Automatically Appended Next Post: New news from Twitter:
- There might be after all new romance.
- Boss fights will be more massive than ME2 larva Reaper.
- There might be a possibility for gay relationship.
- Going over obstacles and going into cover on 2 separate buttons.
- On E3 this year they will be presenting LIVE GAMING.
And one more think that one Dakka member has arguing with me this week : "Love interests won't all necessarily be permanent squad members in ME3 . Interesting new things happening in that area."

Brother Coa wrote:- There might be after all new romance.
From Facebook App:
Up until now, Mass Effect has been about shooting bad guys and sowing your wild oats. In the series' third game, however, your oats will be planted in more familiar ground.
BioWare has told PC Gamer that there are no new romance options in Mass Effect 3, the emphasis in the final game being on resolving the relationships you made in the first two titles.
"So this is more about how you, if you're a new player, how you start these romances with the existing characters" says BioWare's Casey Hudson. "If you've had relationships with previous characters, then it's your opportunity to resolve those. And again, it's in the context of a ?World War II'-type setting, so you don't really know if you're going to survive, or what kind of a world is going to live beyond the story. So it's kind of that situation."
What can make that more interesting is the creation of some serious love triangles between your current and former flames. If my playthrough is only memorable for one thing, please let it be fisticuffs between Liara and Miranda.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

If you had continued to listen to that conversation you'd hear her explain how they don't really share DNA.
But she also said: "He don't understand that our children will always be Asari."

mass effect wiki wrote:During melding, an asari consciously attunes her nervous system to her partner's, sending and receiving electrical impulses directly through the skin. A common phrase used before melding is "embrace eternity," presumably to help focus the partner's mind. Effectively, the asari and her partner briefly become one unified nervous system. This unique means of reproduction is the reason asari are all talented biotics. Their evolved ability to consciously control nerve impulses is very similar to biotic training. The partner can be another asari, or an alien of any gender. However, since the asari began encountering other sentient species, non-asari mates have become preferred for the diversity they provide. This reproductive process can lead to some confusion among non-asari, who might expect offspring with "mixed" genes. However, the offspring is always 100% asari as no DNA is taken from the partner, but is rather used as a "map" to randomize the genes of the offspring.
