    Do no companion quests and don't upgrade the ship. Make all the wrong decisions at the finale as well.

    Everyone survived for me. I guess you have to muck up just about every upgrade and your companions' personal missions for Shepard to not make it.

    It makes me wonder who your companions are going to be for the third game. Any character that could have died in ME1 isn't your companion in ME2. Will that be the same for ME3? Since every companion you have could die in ME2, that's a lot of content (dialogue, missions) that could potentially be missing in ME3 for each companion lost. Plus, they'll have to create new companions for you to have to make up for the loss.

    Only a few of the companions returned for the sequel. I assume they'll do the same in this installment.

    The fact that the plot for ME3 will be the same as the first two; go out and recruit a bunch of different aliens to save the day, has me wondering what Bioware plans to add to the game to keep it feeling fresh.

    Well obviously, they're setting the whole thing up for one giant "Gondor Calls for Aid"

    Perhaps the nature and amount of the new recruits will depend on who survived ME2?

    Tali has a serious case of Dat Ass.

    I wouldn't be surprised if all of your companions that survived turn out to be around the galaxy for you to run into, and help you convince your governments to assist you. I'd expect a new crew again, for sure.

    Well we did have a few true hold-overs from I to II. I expect them to keep at least a few of the ME2 crew intact.

    I expect every character will be back in some capacity, but not all of them may be playable, just like Wrex and Ashley/Kaidan were in ME2. Wrex is probably the least likely to have a player-controlled role, but I expect to see him leading the krogan to aid Shepard at some point. Ditto with Liara - as the Shadow Broker she wields enormous power and influence and will surely help Shepard, but is unlikely to go marching into an all-out fight. Ashley and/or Kaidan will probably be back.

    In terms of ME2 characters, I think Zaeed and Kasumi are out due to the fact that they are DLC and not really that important to or well integrated into the plot. Thane and Mordin will probably be unplayable if they're even in ME3 at all, given that Thane is dying and Mordin is very old by salarian standards.

    Legion may not be playable, but how awesome would it be to see him show up leading a fleet of geth to give Shepard a hand? :D

    "I am Legion. We are many."

    It's almost guaranteed to happen. :p

    Also, while admittedly Mordin may have a lot to do with it, my favorite race in Mass Effect is quickly becoming the salarians. I'd definitely play one if the series went MMO. Advantage of being salarian. Turians, krogan, vorcha - all obvious threats. Never see me coming. :D

    Plus you could entertain your crew with your renditions of musical theater. :p

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(

    DON'T JINX IT LIKE KOTOR!

    There's some speculation that in ME3 you have to choose to save 3 planets from the reapers, one more if you have full/paragon renegade with the following choices:

    Earth
    Citadel
    Tuchanka (Krogan homeworld)
    The Migrant Fleet
    Asari Homeworld
    Salarian Homeworld
    Turian Homeworld

    Personally I'd choose:

    Earth (Because HUMANITY! ******** YEAH!)
    Migrant Fleet (For Tali)
    Salarian Homeworld (Cause Salarians are bros)

    Optional full ren/para:
    Turian Homeworld (Cause Garrus redeems these assholes)

    Sounds like something that could be accurate, based on the teaser trailer.

    I think most people will choose Earth and the Migrant Fleet as their first two choices. It'd take the Citadel as number 3 (just for its significance and importance to all species) and Tuchanka as n°4. It'll be a war and you can do worse in terms of allies than the Krogan. :D

    The amount of Mass Effect fan art out there is off the charts. A disproportionate number of it seems to focus on Shep and his harem. :p

    The fandom for Mass Effect is retarded. Here's proof (RIGHT CLICK+VIEW IMAGE):

    I'm planning to go through a marathon of Mass Effect, so I bought the first title who I never played + the DLCs and then go through the sequel again but this time with all the DLCs.

    Now, I have to admit that the initial impression is a bit pale. The characters look a bit insipid and (unless I did something wrong in the settings) the graphics are definitely a step down from the sequel.
    But oh well, still powered up to know the origins of this awsome game.

    Btw, anyone knows how many DLCs is Bioware planning to have for ME2?

    Swear I heard somewhere that at least one if not two were gonna be released and the focus would be on bridging the story between MS2 and MS3.
