I'm thinking Sheppard was able to be rebuilt (He's the 4 billion Credit man!) was because there was stuff LEFT of him. He got thrown from the normandy explosion. but with the collectors, he was smack dab in the middle of the base, from a nuclear explosion.
There's no 'Oh well lets just bring him back to life again' option this time.
Joker wears braces that allows him to walk around generally easily, but theres always the risk to it, you can even tell because of his sickly looking legs are skinnier then usual.
As for the AR gun firing, well that gun has generally a little recoil but not enough to shatter his bones (And who didnt love that picture of Joker giving covering fire?!)
and the giant girder, well that was just a little oversite im betting :3
I decided the few tens of millions of mobile unit geth and their hundreds of thousands of ships that're passive(ish?) should be good enough, (Because i didnt risk it with the heritics, i've killed far too many for them to just 'let it go' because the virus overwrites the reaper worship, not the Sheppard Genocide) along side the quarian fleet which could have a home to keep their noncombatants, krogan with boosted numbers thanks to wrex's intelligent reforms (Speak softly and carry a big stick my friend) as well as a potential genophage cure, and of course, the innocent and kind rachni queen (She's such a pleasant creature isnt she? ^^ like an old english queen)

I'd hoped at least i'd be able to take a swing at jacob as soon as Shep learned it was Cerberus behind all this, Sole survivor, he'd done the Thoombs mission. "You sonovabitch you're people killed my entire squad and used us for your sick experiments!"
They even bring it up in the shuttle and he's unfazed!

Well i Lived, and destoryed the collecter bass. Got kelly, your PA abourd the normandy, to 'like' the commander (playing as a female). Sadly I lost Legion, Jack and the one that has to live in side the suit thing. And this will be the one I continue on into Mass effect 3, Im not gonna make the mistake of getting the DIGITAL delux edition when ME3 comes out... gonna get the hard copy.
Personaly I would always destory the keeper base, even with the most negitively based character.
The people Melting actauly, for the first time in a game, shocked me... a lot.

It's already been stated that if Shepard is dead that save simply cannot be imported to Mass Effect 3.
I don't think BioWare chickened out on the continuity. I mean, by the standard that the game completely changes would be unreasonable, they'd have to get new dialogue, a complete new story, etc etc.
I mean, the changes I would LIKE to see aren't so broad, but more or less differences in how you achieve the same end.
IE, if you killed the rachni or let them live. Say... If you let them live, you can use them as an ally in the 3rd game, or if you killed them, then the story would imply that the enemy was unable to use the rachni as an enemy and therefore helped you out. It basically means that end stays the same, but how you achieved the end is the same.
Same sort of thing about whether you killed the heretics, or allowed the collector ship to be used, it could change the way the story plays out, but not to the point where you completely alter the game. I mean, imagine writing for ME3 if your decisions in ME1/ME2 conjured up two completely different story arcs. It just isn't realistic for a company to make a game that has two completely different story arcs. I think it's pretty damned cool how your decisions to kill/save different team members changed how the story will work. Sure, it's not groundbreaking, but still pretty cool.
I mean, it might be cool to make a more narrow scoped game with a choose your own adventure style where choices DO radically alter the game and it's story, but to do it on the scale of ME/ME2 would be unreasonable.

The thing is, though, there are several party members that are at (or past) their life expectancy. For example, Salarians live for ~40 years, Mordin is 50. Asari live ~1,000 years and Samara is just under 1,000. I'm wondering if BioWare plans to make these character's death cannon. It's kind of a crazy guess, but...God said:
I remember Mordin saying his age around around 30.
I would like to see more of Wrex, and I'd like to do everything i can to ensure that Clan Urdnot will plant its flag atop Tuchunka.
And i looked alot, have there only been the life expectations said of Turians(humanish) Humans, Salarians (40 at most), Asari (1000), Krogan(think 1000 too), Drell(85), and Vorcha(20)?
And Quarian have been the only female race of aliens we've seen. Asari= monogender.
Do we get to see at last a Krogan Female?

Bah, Samara ain't gonna die from old age yet. She hasn't shown any signs of old age at all.
I played a paragon through both games, but took the Renegade-y final choices both times under the reasoning that the more crap we can throw at the Reapers, the fewer civilians will die. I'm sort of secretly hoping that my tactics backfire a bit, though, 'cause it'd make for a few interesting dilemmas.
For example, I reprogrammed the Geth and didn't tell the Quarians what to do one way or another. I'm hoping Tali and Legion can get the groups to sit down and talk some time between the second and third games, but I'm not going to be surprised if the idiots heading the Admiralty Council return to their homeworld with guns blazing and force the Geth to retaliate.
Similarly, I like to think sparing the Rachni queen won't turn out to be a huge, huge mistake, and that turning over the Collector base to the Illusive Man isn't going to screw the entire galaxy over. But seeing as deciding not to divert resources to save the Council in ME1 was a strategically sound choice that led to the unfortunate consequence of everyone hating humans, I expect these decisions to backfire at least a little.

Okay, about the continuity thing, that's not entirely true. For instance, I have a feeling Tuchunka is drastically different if you kill Wrex on Virmire, and what I hear from a friend is that if you kill the counil, the galaxy is pretty much dominated by humans and theyre all racists. And theres some chracters that reappear in ME2, assuming that you didn't kill them.archvile93 said:
