I DLed LOTSB, and it crashed when I started up the mission. Haven't had the oomph to go back to it.

Mass Effect 3 - Reapers are pissed off and head en-masse for Earth. Like, all of them, on the planet. Geth figure out what's destabilizing Haestrom's sun and somehow the info gets to Shepard. Shepard has choice: blow up (Earth's) Sun to destroy Reapers.
Wasn't there something in game (codex or whatever) that Earth itself went to shit quite a while ago? I can't be assed to check, because I'm just back from nightshift. |

Crash didn't repro. So I finished SB. Eh. Not bad, but not great. I liked at the end getting to play with the old Shadow Broker's info

Right. Because nobody has fun playing games where they save the world anymore. Bioware should stay away from that for sure.

They kinda painted themselves into a corner with all the Reaper foreshadowing and now Also, my opinion is the best there is. |

Tali isn't included in the confirmed re-appearances list. That's some epic trolling right there  |

You knew that was going to happen after they waited to the last minute to announce her last time around. I'm pretty sure the Bioware staff likes seeing fans' heads explode on the forums.
And, yeah, it's gonna be ME:O, just as predicted. Not a bad thing, I don't think, but we'll see where they run with it. I'm still hoping it's a truly massive game, what with all the loose ends that need tying down.

I think it is pretty safe to assume that any character who was a romance option in 2 will at a minimum have a cameo in 3 (if they survived.)

that would be interesting. Very interesting. And I am a Miranda fan. I hope she's in 3. Hell, I hope she pops the IL and takes his place and turns Cerberus into a less idiotic organization. |

There is no excuse for half-assedness in a post-BSG world.

Seems to be really down to (VA) budget more than anything. DA:Awakening made "cameos" of romanced companions in form of single piece of mail you get from them (and the game shipped bugged, preventing you from actually receiving these) Given how many references to ME used the same approach in ME2... well. |

Awakenings was an expansion, though, so it isn't really in the same universe in terms of budget. All the romance options from ME1 had their moment in 2 (hell all the party members did), which I think is the precedent which probably makes more sense.

They might be there, but they won't necessarily play a big role. You had to buy DLC to continue a romance with Liara, and if you romanced Kaiden or Ashley you got a slap in the face and an e-mail.

Yes, i just meant that to illustrate that it's not entirely out of the question depending how they decide to allocate the money and how heavy the cast will be otherwise. Not something i'd expect personally to happen, just possible. |

Well, yes, that's why I said "at least a cameo." |

And lets be honest, I don't remember Kaiden, Ashley, or Liara getting 30+ maxed out fan threads on the official forums. It was frightening how much of a following she had.
Hell, this despite the fact that the people who played the Real version of Shepard couldn't even romance her.

I'm an apathetic, hedonistic, utilitarian, nihilistic existentialist.

Not yet again gathering of support. When is the time in the ME universe to actually kick ass and chew bubblegum? If half of the game is yet another take on "we don't believe you/we won't help you, well unless you do those missions for us" then I'll be seriously pissed.
I hope there will be plenty of epic Reaper crushing battles instead.

Well, you've got to get the Geth, the Krogan, the Quarians, the Rachni, the Council, plus other groups involved. That's five planets worth of team assembly at least.

Seems they kinda did it again with Merrill in DA2 too. Not on the level of analyzing what her sweat would taste like, yet, but try to say anything that isn't endorsement and...  |

Yeah, some of the Merrill people are crazy, but I don't think it's anywhere near the level of Tali crazy.

Yah, I'm kind of a Merrill fan. Not as much Tali, as I'm a bit afraid of what's under the suit. Might be sexing some sort of frog person.

Still don't like Merrill. The charmingly naive thing kinda wears off once you realize that she's just fucking stupid.

I rival the shit out of Merrill every time. Even when I try to be nice to her, I get rival points, so fuck it, tough love forever.
But, er. ME3. Um. I am pleased with the confirmed squaddies so far?
