Talking about Mass Effect 3 With Spoilers

[Bells]

So, i finally finished Mass Effect 2. Full paragon, everyone saved. Feeling really proud about it too! Great game, awesome story and it manages to make you feel epic about your actions...

I couldn't help but notice all the subtle hints from ME2 that lead right into ME3, maybe i don't have the full picture here, but let us brainstorm anyways...

So, i ended up romancing Tali. It was teh easiest Conversation tree ever, the girl was pratically tossing herself at me! The game makes it quite clear that Tali is your Paragon romance... Miranda and Jack... i'm kinda mixed about it. One of the mis your "Neutral" or "Mixed" Romance, and the other is your Renegade romance. Not sure about which one is which if you look ahead... All the other seem like Flavor text to me...

Now, ME3 is the last one, and they seem to be making the transfer from ME2 into a much bigger deal than it was in ME1... still early to see how that plays out, but there are some obvious things...

I mean, it's clear Cerberus is evil, or at least misguided. They will turn on you, you will fight them. Shepard is heading to Earth and my Bet is that Cerberus gets there first and turns the people Agaisnt Shepard with propaganda, calling him an Alien Synpathizer.... not a stretch considering all the aliens he Sympathize with...

With that on note, i would bet Miranda turns on you too... but not Jacob. And at that point your relationship with her on ME2 probably has a lot of Weight to it.

The game is likely to have you Collecting allies in the Galaxy and then heading for earth where you'll probably jump around from major city to major city. London and New York are almost certain. You can bet tehre will be a "Jungle Level" and a "Snow Level" and a Desert one on earth... so i'm betting South America, Russia and Africa for that.

On your current team, i wouldn't be surprised if some died. New teammates need to join, afterall... My guess is with Mordin and Thane going out first. Than is already dying (and that loose end never gets tied on ME2) and Mordin has solved all his issues. Or maybe he just won't be on the field anymore...

It might be just a hunch, but i would give Legion more exposion on the next game, i just think there is something to the fact that he holded on to Shepard's old armor.

Garrus and Grunt i would imagine that will stay around...

The fact that you can Romance Thane, and that he is Dying is just another indicator for me that You will loose one romantic interst early on. So if you romanced Miranda or Thane on ME2, that would have tragic consequences on ME3 (so maybe Miranda will die too)

I would say your team from ME1 would return in the "first arc" of the game, helping Shepard getting his allies, but i would not expect the Romance from ME1 to carry any effect beyond Dialog on ME3.

Considering that EDI is now "On Shepard's Side" and at the same time, She has become the Normandy.. i would Suggest that Cerberus tries to reclaim your Ship by remotely controlling her (maybe that would be the point where Miranda Betrays shepard), and that Joker manages to make EDI break free from Cerberus entirely, giving you your ship back.

All and all, you can see the picture of ME3 forming on the Horizon... not a lot of Surprised but the quality is always high so i have big hopes for this one. I'm keeping my ME2 Save and see what happens now.
