No more ammo clips. How was that an "upgrade"?
More singing squad mates
When the "almighty" sentient, ultimate machines wanted to create a human/reaper hybrid just cause of 1 person? Not buying it.
NO MORE LINEAR LEVELS!!!!!
More weapons, more armor, more abilities, etc.
Can we ditch Jack and Zaeed on some asteroid?
Can we get Garrus to a plastic surgeon please? I know he;s badass, but those scars aren't flattering
More dynamic choices. I want to see some serious story impact.

Though I'd love an Elcor teammate myself, considering it's mentioned at one point that they'd die if they tripped, that might be a bit difficult to implement. It may be possible for there to be an Elcor crewmember, but I can't see it going past that. And I have no idea what the crewmember would do.Wuvlycuddles said:
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a DLC later on or some such to add it in. It couldn't be that hard to put in, since it's just hamlet with an emotion added in before it. It might be a bit boring (pretty sure it's mentioned in game as being 14 hours long), but I'd still watch it. Hell, real-life reproductions are running on the short side if they clock in at 3 hours. As long as they give us the option to pause it. And there isn't an achievement for it.HankMan said:
1) Make the Reapers seem to have some kind of logic. Unknowable evil is all well, good and fantastic in it's Lovecraftian undertones, I'm not denying that. But if they're going to be a massive, in-your-face villain force, we need to be able to have some insight into WHY they do as they do. Even if it just makes us confused with them, or makes us hate them more. At least it will be some reasoning. In the other games it's just "We want to destroy all civilisations after they reach their peak" "Why?" "we just do."
2) One main, tangible antagonist. Reapers are awesome, no denying that. But the reason ME1 worked so well was because you had Saren at the forefront. HE was the face you could put the bad deeds to, HE was the one you were focusing on for the majority of the game. Fuck you don't even learn the Reapers identity or anything until Virmire if I remember rightly. ME2 dropped the ball on this front. It had the Collectors, which was good. But it's "main protagonist", in essence, was one particular Collector, controlled by one particular Reaper. You never got any face time and the only time you could identify with it in some way was in the final cutscene RIGHT before its death
3) Elkor party member. I don't know HOW it would work, but it needs to be done!
4) This is my main trifle and it's a personal one: male on male romance options! You missed it with ME1, I could accept that. You gave it to us in DA:O, great. I thought it'd be available in ME2, but it wasn't. Why not? There's no valid reason or creative choice for leaving that out when you worked in lesbian romances. It's just weird and it annoyed me because I had the overwhelming urge to sex Thane up something fierce but didn't want to play as a female character to do it. you had man-on-man action in DA2 recently, so why was it mysteriously absent from ME2?
Unless it wasn't and I have irritatingly selective amnesia...

Please God do some more blocking for your scenes. License Valve's facial software or the thing Rockstar's using for LA Noire, watch some damn movies or something JUST LEARN HOW TO FRAME A SCENE BETTER.
I would like to see more variety in small arms the pistols and smg's in me2 seem reallly lacklustre. More secret chain missions would be nice. I agree with the use of the DA2 dialogue wheel the ME one is so bloody random. I am really careful what I pick and still end getting renegade points from seemingly no where >< It would also be nice to have a LI hit on you rather than you coming across as socially awkward penguin. I don't have a LI in ME2 cos it's so unbelievably cringeworthy when she hits on them and they are like whut you feel that way about well...que cringeworthy awful moment. It was done nicely in DA2 I think. Some hair options for female shepard that don't look like she hasn't washed it for a week would be nice too.
Less Asari would be nice yeah they are nice to look at we get the point.
and last but not least... :3
[small]Joker LI please hes the only man in the whole series with a personality[/small]

ME2 didn't have a lesbian option either. Kelly sort of qualifies, but the game makes it clear that she doesn't count since you don't get the achievement and it doesn't interfere with any other relationships your character may have (??). Those issues may sound insignificant (and they kind of are), but she doesn't get much characterization either. It's just kind of cheap.ReservoirAngel said:
[small]Yes, the Shadow Broker DLC let you meet up with Liara again, but that was a long time after the game was released.[/small]
So I concur. Stop taking good things out of your games, BioWare.
Is it me or does ME3 look like it might shape up to be DA:O in outer space?
Darkspawn = Reapers
Exercising the Grey Warden treaties = possibly flying around the galaxy convincing the Krogans, Asari, Salarians, Quarians, Turians, Rachni (if applicable) and Humans to join your cause
Denerim = Earth
All theories aside, here is what I would like to see in ME3:
1. Explore the Turian and Salarian homeworlds (more realistically, capital cities). We've already seen the Krogan and Quarian and a bit of the Asari.
2. A return of the inventory system. Maybe not as comprehensive as the first one but certainly something wayyy more fleshed out than the second one.
3. A flight mechanism that doesn't require buying fuel. I'm all for new angles on space travel but when it is such a small portion of the game, it's not even worth it.
4. More spontaneous conversations between squad mates. This has already been covered, I need not elaborate.
Apart of that, I'm content with the combat and trust (hopefully not misplaced) that the story will be immersing and thorough.

would a pre-augmented sparten canidate after training or post augment work? hell when 14 they were already a soldier just not a "super soldier"
now what i want is
1Better romance and relationship maybe meeting with 1 or 2 games love interest and making a family or something its the final game make a family option
2ability to rape... the REAPERS got ya didnt i and also like every one else said more fleshed out enemys like saren
3to punch the turian council member then finger quote him when the reapers are finally proven to exist
4ME1 weapon progression system i had the best pistol could kill in 2 shots.

1. Throw thermal clips in the trash can.
bullets thermal clips. Some get so little that the weapons aren't good for relying on. And please explain to me why it is that if I run out of ammo thermal clips for my pitiful 10 round thermal clip max sniper rifle, I can't take some ammo clips from my useless shotgun which uses the EXACT SAME KIND OF THERMAL CLIPS AS THE SNIPER RIFLE! In fact, every weapon uses the same thermal clips as you only ever pick up one kind, so having separate ammo for each one is just friggin' stupid. If we have to stick with thermal clips, keep the number of rounds you can fire before needing a new thermal clip the same (so 80 rounds for that assault rifle you get in the collector ship, or 1 for the starting sniper rifle), but instead of the remaining ammo for that gun, just show how many thermal clips total you have left. And if I have 100 thermal clips, that means I get 100 sniper rifle shots, or 8,000 assault rifle shots, or a mixture such as 50 sniper rifle shots and 4,000 assault rifle shots. But running out of clips for a sniper rifle but having clips left for the shotgun is just silly because they're the same damn clips.
Although I'd much rather just have the overheating thing from ME1 back. It made the start of the game a bit of a pain, but later on when you get better toys, much more fun.
2. Throw the Hammerhead in the trash can (maybe it would fit better in a dumpster) and give me my Mako back. The Mako was durable (not made of tissue paper that lit on fire after 2 seconds of being shot at) and you could actually aim its weapons. Fights in the Hammerhead sucked, you had to shoot from long range and hope those stupid homing missiles worked (usually they didn't) and you couldn't zoom in. And you had to dart behind cover every 3 seconds or die and start the whole fight over again. Killing one turret with one health bar can take 3-5 minutes on CASUAL because even then, the Hammerhead still can't take more than two hits before lighting on fire and its missiles rarely hit their target.
Alternatively, I could settle for a vehicle that has the mobility of the Hammerhead but the armor and weapons of the Mako, but since that might not be "immersive" (I can see people complaining that a hovering tank with all that armor shouldn't be so maneuverable), I would just be happy with bringing back the Mako. I mean really, it looked like it survived the crash landing onto that one planet really well, it's still in one piece and everything. Just stuff it in the SR2, get your tech specialists to fix it up, and drop the Hammerhead in the nearest volcano.
3. Bring back exploring planets in a vehicle (planet scanning can go in the trash can too). Just get rid of all the obnoxious mountains everywhere that made things a pain in the ass to find. And make sure there are more than 3 kinds of structures for the interiors of small buildings. Yeah, okay, I guess it could be realistic (cheaply made pre-constructed buildings that are easy to put together for all your building needs) but it's a bit boring for the player if the only thing you can do to mix up the various buildings is just put the random crates in different spots.
4. No more Elcor. They got too big a role in ME2. Vent all those obnoxious monotone motherfuckers out the nearest airlock. Bring in more hanar to compensate, hanar are awesome. Bonus points if Shepard calls them "big stupid jellyfish" again.
5. Get a new female voice actor so playing as Fem Shep isn't a trip to monotone, no emotion land. Is Fem Shep a human or an Elcor? She gets around and fights like a human, but converses like an Elcor. It's very confusing.
6. This one is very important. Learn to make DLC that's worth a damn. They did pretty well with Lair of the Shadow Broker, but then went straight back to crapsville with the recent Arrival DLC.
It depends on what weapon you're using. Some weapons get a generous helping ofTimzilla said:

a) Get rid of the thermal clips.
b) Have each power on it's on timer.
c) Allow me to duck anywhere, not just when I'm clinging to a chest high wall.
d) Remove the auto-regenerating health.
e) Bring numbers back to the inventory system, so there's a quantitative difference between any 2 similar items.
f) Have the earned achievements affect gameplay.
Basically, revert much of the gameplay to ME1, keep the setting variety of ME2.

More Harbinger (or at least flashbacks to Sovereign) I say this because that ominous voice the Reapers have is just spine tingling. You can practically taste the contempt and arrogance of them. And I also concur with those who say leave their intentions a mystery. The end of ME 2 inferred a possible motive for the Reaper's actions, but leave it at that.
Even though I'm a die hard Tali fan, I would be very receptive to a Joke LI for my FemShep. That idea has incredible potential for a good love story.
A combo of the overheating system from ME 1 and the heat sinks from ME 2. Limited number of heat sinks, allow weapons to cool down normally or slap in a fresh heat sink to instantly cool weapon.
Bigger levels. I don't mind the corridor shooting that ME 2 became because the combat was fluid enough to make it playable and it was an improvement over ME 1 combat, but having at least an open "overworld" on planets that can be explored to find goodies or just for shits and giggles, will give ME 3 the sense of bigness that ME 1 had. A detailed epilogue for all outcomes. Think Fallout 3's epilogue's only more detailed. I want to know what kind of future my Shepard and his/her LI end up having if i get the best ending.
Did I mention more speeches from Harbinger talking about how pathetic we all are?
I'm on the fence about showing Tali's face (if you had her as your LI) because it kinda has that Master Chief thing going for it. Our ideas on what she may look like would probably be better than anything BioWare could design.
A drinking buddy scene with Male Shepard and Garrus, because lets be honest people, Male Shepard and Garrus are fist/talon pounding bros.
Witty banter between Wrex and Grunt (oh god that could be comedy gold mixed with awesomeness)
Know how the Hanar are all polite and stuff? How about a Hanar that swears like a sailor? also comedy gold.
Epic space fleet to space fleet combat (even if its just cutscenes)
Why not show how the Reapers destroy a world after killing off its inhabitants (something similar to how the Covenant glass planets)
More Legion and his attempts to understand organic culture and how it makes no sense to him
Thats all i can think of right now.

In the lore books, Revelation, Ascension and Retribution, there is a child biotic training program created by the Alliance, and basically funded by Cerberus in hopes to advance human biotics and research of implants. I know its not in the game, but it would be nice to see something about it, seeing how it was what Capt. Anderson was doing between the games, dicking around with Cerberus, the lead character in the books and in the third book, Aria T'Loak.Hectix777 said:
Edit. So it makes up a lot of the events between the games and helps fill you in. The first book however was a prequel to ME1 and tells you how Saren discovered Sovereign, betrayed the council and that whole fauxpas about Anderson being the "first" human SPECTRE and fcking it up.
Female Turians.
I can understand why there's no female Salarians and to an extent why there's no female Krogans. But come on. Turians are so common and widespread that there's no reason you can't have females walking around. They aren't a patriarchal society either so you can't use that excuse. Although if you could get a female Krogan companion and have her be voiced by Lucy Lawless that would be kind of awesome.

well give me a hybrid of me1 and me2 for the most part, and maybe have some banter among characters while traveling about, like in DA, its a small thing yes but really adds to the characters of the game, and perhaps have things be affected MORE by your past decisions?
if these are done my boner might explode from playing that game.

Does anyone know when about ME3 is getting released btw is it in the last quarter of this year? I would make a new thread but that seems kind of excessive. :<
Have my choices actually matter.
And(I know this will never happen) get rid of the conversation wheel and bring in a dialog tree.I never liked Shepard saying what he meant and not what I wanted him to say.
Example:
Guy: Hey Shepard do you want to take these jelly doughnuts to my brother all the way across the galaxy?
Option 1: Yes
Option 2: Maybe
Option 3: No
What I think they mean:
Option 1: Sure thing
Option 2: Let me think about it
Option 3: No thank you
Me: I don't feel like doing this quest right now I will decline *picks option 3*.
What they actually mean:
Option 1: Yes and by the way I will do this out of the kindness of my heart I don't want pay
Option 2: Tell me more
Option 3: GET THE FUCK OUT OF ME FACE ASSHOLE
Me: Great, 500 renegade points just what I wanted. -_-
