I heard different......But Ill save that in a spoiler tag. Its just rumor and speculation but

Spoiler

I heard that the ending will go a based on certain decisions and how well equiped you are for the final missions will reflect on who survives and who falls.

That's not a spoiler at all, that's what they've been talking about since they announced the game and it's referring to the end of Mass Effect 2, not the Mass Effect universe.

Hmmm. I heard

Spoiler

The ending will start right before the end of the game and that depending on how close you are to ending will dictate how long it will take to end.

pack on January 26th (launch day in North America) featuring new

Re: Mass Effect 2

Sounds good, seems like this is a pattern devs are starting to come up with when trying to recoup some money from used game sales.

Great way to fight lost revenue from re-sale.

He means ME 3 is the end of THIS story arc. ME 4 would have nothing to do with Sheppard or any of the current characters but it'll be the same universe. Could be a Salarian for the main character in ME 4.

Yep, that's what I meant. If they were going with a non-human character for ME4, I hope it would be a Turian. That would be awesome.

It's not so great for those of us paying full price who don't get the entire game because don't have the internet on our Xbox.

I thought they confirmed 3 in the Mass Effect series?

How are you not getting the entire game, from reading the article I came away with the fact that this was extra DLC available on Day 1, that happens to be free. True enough it does include an extra character and in-game items but how is that different from any other DLC?

[goh]

Re: Mass Effect 2

Because it appears to some that it has been pulled out of the game for other purposes and should be on the disc if it was ready for day 1 DLC. This isn't one of those shady already on the disc things,the original article claimed it was 400 something MB.

The game is in stores today so some faucets should start dripping any time now with various info.

Well then people like you need to get with the times or be happy with what you're getting. It has been known for awhile that they were planning on having more DLC so this isn't a surprise. You're getting the whole story, you just can't get the extra stuff.

And if paying full price is such a big deal(even though you're getting a full game), then wait and buy it used.
