After playing this game and seeing some of the stuff for 2, im really excited to play this game. I'm sure there is a lot that will go on in it, but I can't wait to see how the whole series concludes.

mman, i did the same. its definitely gonna suck if they choose to use the most recent one, as im part of the good first evil second camp.

I wish that there was a way to see the decisions you made in the first game before you choose what save to load because I have no idea which save is paragon and which save is renegade.

the first game was one of my favourites of all time and the sequel is shaping up to be even better. bioware know how to make great games.

ok hands down Mass Effect was in the top ten best games in the history of gaming and 2 looks to be as good and better but a hint to all those who havent played one play and let ashley die shes useless but save wrex hes awesome and one of the better combat characters

Part of me wants Shepard to die because I made him a fuggo, the other part of me wants to keep him because he's a badass. i accidentally saved over my paragon game ):

Looks good, hope it still carries the mood from the first game.

I LIKED THE FIRST ONE BUT, DANG THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING SO PATIENTLY FOR! TOO BAD WON'T BE ANY GOREY DISMEMBERMENTS LIKE MY FAVORITE FALLOUT 3! THIS WILL DO THO', THE HELL WITH ASHLEY WHY DO I WANNA FALL IN LOVE HELL I WANNA GO COMMANDO, ROGUE, STEALTH, ASSASSINATE, IF YOU CALL FOR BACK-UP OR PULL THAT D@MN TRIGGER SO HELP ME GOD YOU WILL NOT MAKE IT TO YOUR DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY PARTY! MPO!

I have a theory that the Normandy gets destroyed early in the game, with Shepard as the only or one of few survivors. That could be why why Nassana Dantius says "Shepard? But you're dead!" in the trailer.

I don't mind my Shepard dying for one reason: I'm going into Mass Effect 2 with at least 3 different save games :D
snowycrazyking  - 5 months 28 days ago 
@Zeldrin, I think that is a very good chance of being what happens. It would explain a lot, like why everyone thinks Shepard is dead, and why he is assembling a new team. @Makk_Mizzy, you do realize the second half of you comment makes no sense right?

Mass Effect was AMAZING and #2 looks like the best game in the forseeable future

I really don't like the whole "Shepard dies once then you're up crap creek without a paddle" thing. I do stupid things in games. I die. I don't want my idiocy to be responsible for the galaxy going to shit. Maybe I'm too emotional.

Other than that, I can't wait for this game. I just finished Mass Effect 1, and it kicked every alien species collective asses! Sorry. Still too emotional.

looks like all those hours getting to lvl 60 wont be wasted after all...what i cant wait for is to see how the relationships you've devolved in the first game change the second..did shepard have a kid? will they star in ME3? does shepard get married? does kaydens(or ash's) family have a grudge for killing there kids? im just so giddy for this game!

ok first off never put master chiefs head on shepard ever again, your insulting shepard to the highest degree by puting that noob, over rated, disgrace of a vidiogame character in any league with shepard, but back to the game, im totaly sykt about it and i dont think that they would put every little spec of detail and make it that narrow minded of a game and WHY THE HELL IS EVERYONE SOOOOOOOO shocked about if a character dies in 1 they wont be in 2, its common scence people, you beat 1 with a char and bring him to the 2nd, its that simple, new abilities, new equipment, new story, im as sykt bout it as much as the next person but lets stop stating the obvious and fro all the people that got rid of ash becoase you were a soldier, i just wana know if you guys played thru with any other class? so insted of anybody starting rumors, not saying anyone did but you know sumone will, and trying to find out the most about it so it ruins the suprise, im just going to continue to build that perfect shepard to bring over. and just for the record HALO AND MASTER CHIEF SUK!!!...

After E3 this is already shaping up to me my GOTY. Can't fuggin' wait.

The idea of Mass Effect 2 is a great one, but very ambitious, what if it goes to hell? and why would you play as Shepard if you made your own character in the first Mass Effect game, so if you keep your originally designed character, and he bites the dust in Mass Effect 2, will you be playing as Shepard in Mass Effect 3?

I may have to buy the first game again to play over summer after seeing the E3 footage... didn't like how the game ended when I played!
