Mass Effect 3, Discussion thread Options

[Tellie]

So anyone else looking forward to ME3 later this year?

I thought I should start this little topic where we can share anything about the upcoming game: Theories, wishes, rumours etc etc.

SO get cracking.

And I believe the offical Bioware line is that they're going to do more Mass Effect, but without Shepard. Casey Hudson stated in an interview that 'Commander Shepard's story ended at the end of Mass Effect 3' so that strikes me as pretty final.

I read that interview too, but I think that was just Casey sticking up for his team in the wake of all the bad press surrounding the endings. When they revisit the subject once cooler heads have prevailed I believe that they are going to have a change of heart. Leaving Shepard's story the way it is now is unsatisfying no matter which ending you choose.

As for the Indoctrination Theory, I believe that it gives Bioware the perfect 'hook' for going back in and revisiting the story. I'm not saying that they should incorporate everything that the documentary suggests, but the idea that:

lifts the Mass Effect series from just another good space opera with a bad ending to a once-in-a-generation mind job.

Edit: Yes, I know this is all probably wishful thinking on my part, but I can hope... right?

They are doing another one, I think it's when the First Contact Wars started.

Maybe we can play as a Turian!

That's the current theory, yeah. Personally I'd like one following Wrex's career; that would be awesome.

Or maybe follow Grunt as he becomes leader of his own kraant (or whatever it's called).

My vote would be to follow another Spectre, like Jondum Bau or go back early into Tela Vasir's career.
