on a side note I didnt care for the character creation, it was just like Oblivion. Either my guy was ugly, or he looked good but like he was from a different game than all the other characters. He also looked like Thomas Kretschmann for some reason.

In my heart, I knew as well. Ol' Shepard couldn't die, doesn't make sense. I didn't futz around with the character creation, I just left it as the default Shepard. My Fallout 3 guy was pretty nondescript, left that pretty much the same. My SR2 dude is a huge fatty with a mohawk and mutton chops.

This is old news, it's from Thursday. One of those few times I ever sent a tip in, and it pops up 2 days later :P

Speaking of SR2, I'd love to see a review on the Ultor DLC.

my SR2 guy was an athletic but not quite musclebound englishman with mutton chops and a penchant for zebra stripes and biker paraphernalia

Yea. They wouldn't bother with the heroic hey-look-I-somehow-survived-this-massive-pile-of-debris-falling-on-my-head ending if they were just going to kill him off in the beginning of the next game.

They said Commander Shepard died. So there.,,,,ruined. I didn't know there were Commanders in the game either...ruined. People die in the game? Ruined! The game is called Mass Effect? Great! I didn't know the name of the game...ruined!

Well here's the biggest spoiler of all then, pal. THATS RIGHT, BEA ARTHUR IS ACTUALLY THE FINAL BOSS IN THE ORIGINAL GAME. For most of the game, sure, she seems like regular old esteemed Commander Arthur, but turns out she was secretly helping the Geth THE ENTIRE TIME.

BOOM ROASTED

I can't wait for E3 when they tell us some more about ME2. I've played Mass Effect about 6 times now, every time I tried something different (like being what I would do one time, trying to bed Ash and Liara which had hilarious results, so on and so on.)

I've already pre-ordered on Amazon.com

Golden Girls is legit. I was more upset when Estelle Getty died though.

Those old ladies and their shenanigans!

I'm guessing the story will involve Shepherd being captured and everyone thinking he's dead or something like that and for part of the game you will be on your own and not in a group. Hopefully they wont go the whole Ghost in the Shell route - his body dies but his mind survives somehow. That's been done a million times before and is getting a bit tired.

im thinking since that trailer had stuff mentioning Cerberus, that maybe Shepard is under deep cover, even pretending to be dead to infiltrate them

My guess is the Collectors (Mass Effect: Ascension) will likely play a large role in ME2. Shepard meets with or is captured by them which leads Cerebus to believe her* dead.


* Yes, Shepard is female. Deal with it.

what are talking about? This isn't KOTOR where there's an official canon Revan or whatever. Shepard's whatever you make him/her, so there's no reason youd have to say to deal with it

Just for the record, the original game does *not* imply Shepard is killed and there's no cliff hanger or anything like that.. The game ends properly, while leaving room for sequels, the way it should be done.

The first teaser trailer stated that Shepard had been "KIA" which for some reason lead many people to believe you wouldn't be playing as him in ME2.

You're right. It won't be Mass Effect.
