Alright, Mass Effect 2 is on the way. It's confirmed that decisions from the 1st game will carry over, and surviving characters will appear again. Darker story, reworked combat system, new species, and much more. Personally it's all more than enough to get me to go back and "redesign" the story of Shepard and co. for the next installment.
They've been saying all along that your (character's) choices in the first game will carry over to the following installments. If you hold on to your saved games then they will affect gameplay in the sequal. Just look at the video.
