Hopefully ME3 will be more than 1. Recruit companion 2. Complete loyalty mission - Repeat 1-2 6x for 80% of it.

I don't think so , this time we'll probably recruit ' races ' for the cause

[Raven]

I guess the Loyalty would somewhat affect during missions like in Dragon Age. Loyalty might get lost and gained depending on the decisions we make during plot missions perhaps.

Yes, I also thought about this. That would be good, but they better do this on ME3 or we will not see it on any, since this would be the last one.

Proper you-can-actually-see-and-read scans

Link

So much info, but only minor beginning spoilers. The concept art of earth is beautiful :o

Also seems like we can shoot parts off of enemies to make them weaker, similar to beheading LOKI Mechs in ME2

[Camille]

nice nice nice NICE

[Raven]

Thanks Paved for the proper scan links. This looks ridiculously awesome

[Libains]

I literally cannot wait. Anyone know any way that we can get into a beta slot for BioWare? Any way at all?

I know how you feel, it was joyous and very painful to see those scans

[General]

Or lets just get into stasis for 7 months Seriously, why they not release such a wonderful series in All in One

[Raven]

Apparently an Animated movie is also in the works. They are not ruling out an MMO also. I'd prefer a RTS with a commando style gameplay. Perhaps an RTT.

Not ME3 news but for anyone who is looking forward to the next novel I came across some info and the artwork for it:

Quote

The universe is under siege. Every fifty thousand years, a race of sentient machines invades our galaxy to harvest all organic life-forms. They are the Reapers.

Two people who know the truth are desperately searching for a way to stop the cycle: Navy admiral David Anderson and his partner, Kahlee Sanders. They have uncovered grisly evidence proving that the Reaper threat is real. But in so doing they have exposed the machinations of Cerberus, a secretive paramilitary organization, and its mysterious leader, the Illusive Man—putting David and Kahlee in mortal danger, for Cerberus will stop at nothing to protect its secrets.

But along the way, they find an unlikely ally in Gillian Grayson, a young woman with extraordinary powers. Once the subject of horrifying scientific experiments, Gillian is now free—and beginning to master her deadly abilities. But after learning that Cerberus was responsible for the death of her father, Gillian swears vengeance against the group and the Illusive Man—threatening to unravel everything Kahlee and David are fighting for.[2]

This must have been recent and unplanned info release since I didnt see any fanfare from Bioware about it :S

[General]

An idea just come to my mind ; In ME1 we know Saren controlled by Reapers but acts and speaks pretty normal except his cybernetic additions, everything looked normal, so why not same with Illusive Man ? his eyes obviously cybernetic

[Raven]

Well in that case, he could have indoctrinated Shephard too, during his rebuild I mean.

SPOILERS, SPOILERS, Spoilers incoming:

New ME3 info

Spoiler

We have some new Mass Effect 3 information for you and it’s juicy. A gaf user named Lakitu translated the info from a Spanish magazine.

Be warned that anyone’s who yet to play the previous two iterations of the series might be exposed to spoilers if you decide to go through these details. Proceed with caution.

You can read the information below:
The reason that Cerberus is put against us is explained at the beginning of the adventure (could it be because the Alliance gets the Normandy SR2 and technology, and SID, the AI ​​of the ship? This a suppose of mine, not in the magazine)
Cerberus’ troops include: Mechas, Assault units, Shock troops – ninja-style.
Reapers: They have different sizes, ranging from 500-600 meters of the smaller ships to the 2km for Herald.
New skills for Shepard: Launched in search of coverage to Max Payne, rolling, jumping small holes in the ground, as the SWAT turn and strike the enemy with greater variety of melee attacks. It specifically mentions “a new class: Heavy Melee” take advantage of these capabilities of combat.
New skills: Engineer can build turrets.
Customizable Weapons, guns, sight … five variants in each section.
More items to “loot.”
Space Battles? Perhaps, but unconfirmed.
Scenarios: Larger. We will see people walking, ships fighting, architecture in greater detail. Searching for the photorealism of the sites using new lighting techniques on the stage. It has also improved the atmosphere and the number of dynamic elements of the stage, increasing interactivity with the player.
Enemies: we can do dynamic damage into them. The Cerberus mechas, for example, requires that we shoot a weak point, the glass cockpit in order to overcome them. In other enemies we can cut off the arms, break the head or break various pieces of their armors.
Fighting more dynamic, forcing us to move more frequently. The game speed is improved by 10 to 15%.
Exploration: we won’t drive vehicles seen in previous games. The main gameplay is designed without them and will continue so. This does not mean that there is no vehicle, but they can’t reveal more now. There is a new scanning system.

Spoiler
Locations to visit: New York, London, a moon of ¿Koriana? (maybe they mean Quarian or Krogan) world, a salarian world and Mars, among others. The development of each environment takes about 6 months, testing the levels from the outset.

This looks interesting.

More ME3 hype incoming

Cerberus enemies:

Melee class

would be absolutely badarse. Hoping that's true.

[Raven]

It'd be interesting to see how Miranda would fit into all of this. I romanced her in my proper playthrough

Indeed, I think she will ultimately take Cerberus's side, and just make a cameo appearance.

Max Payne stuff seems cool, but it all depends on the little tweaks.

The screens aren't particularly that good, It just looks like more of the same. Completely the opposite reaction to the fantastic trailer they made which looked new and interesting.

She may get killed at the beginning of the game perhaps...if she tried to side with Shephard.

[NergiZed]

Would be happy if she died. I think she was my second most hated character, right after Jacob. I pretty much liked everyone else, cept maybe Jake, whom I was kinda neutral too (Hated her at first, played her mission, and then I hated her a lot less).

Seems to have taken alot of the issues I had with the game and addressed them, I shall be interested to see how it pans out.
