Legion as a non-combat character? Aww, that's a shame. Mordin I can understand, but Legion barely got any time to be in your squad at all. Colour me disappointed there.

I agree, but think about it this way. He's just another Geth, granted a badass sniper Geth, with a bit of nice armor, but remember how many of those things you swatted away like flies in 1 and 2? Now you could argue it's story versus gameplay contradictions but still.

Without more information I can't be sure, but if they make me do another goddamn companion fetch quest I'm going to be pissed. I want to be able to call up the dozen or so allies I've spent the last sixty hours recruiting, and they should be able to come.

That's basically my only request to BioWare, don't make me get new companions, or at most only one or maybe two. Your last two games have been about collecting people, so don't make this game exactly the same.

Why exactly do Cerberus want to kill you?
Well, there was that whole thing with the Collector base. If you blew it up, you basically gave TIM the finger and flew away with his money, his employees, and his crazy-awesome ship. Also, yourself, which cost "billions of credits".

I imagine he'd be pretty pissed. And Cerberus is a scary organization to have angry with you.

Of course, Shepard is a scary man to have angry with you. So this should be interesting.

So long as I can, at some point, point out a window at a reaper while standing next to the turian councillor and say, with fingerquotes 'oh look a "reaper"' in total deadpan.
That would be simply amazing.

OT: Nice to hear some news about ME3, now arrival's out of the way I expect the floodgates to open. The actual info didn't overly excite me, Ashley/Kaiden return was expected and the whole 'Cerberus gonna kill you' aspect seemed clear to me (I took the paragon ending to ME2).


All in all, interesting if not mind-blowing.

Well, colour me pleased. Every single thing there sounds good.

Especially this:
Confirmed squadmates include Liara, Ashley/Kaiden, Garrus and a new character named James Sanders. While Wrex, Mordin, Legion and Anderson will potentially return, they are all believed to be non-controllable side characters.
Whooooooooo! Liara and Wrex are back! The only way that could be made even better would be by putting Wrex back in your squad. But that wouldn't mesh too well with the events in ME2.

And more of Mordin and Legion can only be a good thing.

Now, just let me keep Jack around and I'll be happy as a clam... a very happy clam.

James Sander's is the guy from the ME3 trailer.

I'm calling it.
Kinda obvious ain't it?
Throw in the fact that it sounds like the dude in the trailer is voiced by the same guy who played Boromir in LOTR (who's name I can't remember) it seems safe to say that the guy from the trailer is important. And brand new. If this isn't James Sander, it's somebody else who'll be important.

Wait, Shepherd is on trial?

...*sniff*
You know what, fuck the rest of the galaxy. I'm tired of those unappreciative assholes. I'm taking my gun and going home!

Garrus AGAIN? They'd better build upon some more internal conflict like "Leadership ability unlikely to flourish under Shepard's command" or his dying mother or disapproving father or something instead of lolcalibrations.

Interesting that Wrex isn't a squad member, or should I say, CONFIRMED squadmember. Who knows, he could be one if you complete the Krogan plot event.

Sadface that Mordin and Legion are being shoved off to the side. I couldn't really care less about Tali, but she will obviously be a huge part of the story (Admiralty Board mayhap?). Wouldn't mind seeing more of Samara or Thane, don't really care about Virmire survivor (Kaidan in my case), and Liara seems a little bit too derailed from her ME1 self. It's also kind of odd because she SHOULD be living in that mobile base.

As for game mechanics, it'd be really cool if they had a Deus Ex grid-ventory, even just for guns, but that's wishful thinking eh?

Kinda disappointed about the Reapers raining on Shepard's parade with the whole trial thing, I was hoping that it would really get dragged out. You have all of these conflicts between races, and to let the conflict of the player's race slide so easily seems like a massive cop-out. I'll be eating a bunch of rusty nails if they never even mention the Human-Batarian relations in the rest of the game.

Tali is necessary. How dare you keep me in the dark Bioware.
After the troll you gave us with her relationship arc if she isn't in ME3 I'm gonna be very angry.
At least Garrus is sticking around, at this point in the series he's almost as badass as Shepard.

Also, Liara? In your squad? What about the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC? Without spoiling anything, I'd think that would be a huge waste of a plot-arc.
The events of LotSB don't really require her to be in one particular place. All she needs is a means of communication and some data storage. I don't see why she couldn't do her job on the Normandy.

Mordin/Wrex not in squad? Aww, man.

I really didn't like Ashley or Kaiden either so I'm not looking forward to this. Keep Thane in though, please? At least?

Mm. I liked Mordin more than Liara. Liara frankly annoyed me. Also, fuck Kaiden coming back, I nuked that cocksucker in the eyes. What, he wants me to nuke him again? Because I will. I will fucking nuke Kaiden OR Ashley as often as it takes for them to stop being so fucking boring.

But seriously, "Problematic!" is the best combat call-out ever and the only one that never gets old.

Mordin pls.

(btw, the Arrival DLC is terrible. don't buy it.)

Thane I Highly doubt considering he only had like, a month left to live at the end of ME2 and Mordin, well, Whadoyou expect? By Salarian standards he should have been retired YEARS ago

seriously I'm getting kinda tired of having to love a new team every game...just give me full access to all the characters from both games and let me take my super awesome double team into battle!

Also, I'm about to start my 3rd freaking play through of Mass Effect 2. Damn Paragon score, I just had a little bit of fun and then the jack / milanda fight happened and I didn't have enough points to stop it >.< Now I'm going to play through AGAIN, only this time I'm going to get all paragon XD

Will Shepard be the protagonist? What if he/she got killed at the end of ME2? Inb4 BioWare opinions on death..
If your character died in ME2 they'll force you to play a fresh save, if you try using the "LOL, dead" save.

I hope I get to crush The Illusive Man's smug little face in, in ME3.

The weapon/class change is a nice one, and may make some other classes more appealing to me.

No mention of Miranda? Hopefully she's going to be announced later if for no other reason than I want my Shepherd to make out with her in front of Ashley any chance I get now that Ashley's confirmed as coming back as playable.
