Mass Effect 2

[zenith16]

hmm I think they showed earth in the first ME game if you chose that as you back ground compared to spacer. that's the one where you found Shepard was in a gang that was is anti alien.

most of that stuff you talked about I'd like to see I already stated what I wanted to see before shadow broker came out. so for now i'm good well til I think of some thing else.

 

[El Bastardo]

I would like to see Earth.

Casey Hudson confirmed quite awhile ago that we'll see Earth before the end of the trilogy.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Danny DeVito

Wouldn't surprise me. They've got the right shape.

 

[BlackLantern]

also that aging star frying the planet that you save Tali on....Im sure that will tie in as well

 

[Soapy]

The Rachni planet is a possibility as well.

 

[BlackLantern]

**** the Rachni.....I exterminated their silly ass queen in the first game....

sing that, ya purple *****

 

[BrollySupersj]

I let the Rachni live on my playthroughs of ME1. I'm gonna need their help when those *****ebags arrive.

 

[Saint]

It looks to me like they've set it up so there's an easy out for both Renegade and Paragon players--paragons will have the Rachni to back them up against the Reapers, while renegade players will have [blackout]the Collector base[/blackout] instead. Players who didn't follow either path to the letter and destroyed both advantages, well... my money says those players die at the end of ME3.

 

[SolarTiger]

What if I was conned by the Illusive Man to keep the collector base even though I'm a paragon?

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Well you'd STILL have the Collector base.

 

[MOVIELORD101]

Just to ask, why is he called the "Illusive Man"? It's not like we haven't seen his face at all, so why not tell us his real name! And yes I HAVE played ME2 at a friend's house.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

To punt the point he's mysterious? And not The Gman?

 

[zenith16]

Just to ask, why is he called the "Illusive Man"? It's not like we haven't seen his face at all, so why not tell us his real name! And yes I HAVE played ME2 at a friend's house.

He's not an easy guy to get a hold of or to pin what would be considered crimes on. so he ether gets away a lot or just hard to trap. I'm also guess Miranda

is one of the few people to actually be in room with him, out of their Agents and operatives. that if they ever see his face that is
​

Notice he's always talking to your Shepard through a hologram . he's sorta like the shadow broker in a sense. but I'm guessing more people have seen his face compared to the former shadow brokers. Also Remember the Cerberus Organization
was just talked about til your Shepard exposed most of their existence.

and it's like what kez1984 just said it's a spin of the name on words .

 

[imaperson2]

I'm just hating on the fact that they are actually revealing IM's history in that comic or w/e it was.

 

[zenith16]

meh their not doing anything different from the halo and gear and other comic's. besides it's good they spread out to other mediums. and get those fans of video games to read comics. besides keeping a character secret orgins for too long will get stale eventually.

 

[Soapy]

Yeah, and you never know, it could be that Bioware never intended for him to be a mysterious character throughout the entire series.

 

[BlackLantern]

he's Shepards' dad...

 

[Soapy]

Oh god, if that were true, if that were some big revelation in Mass Effect 3...I don't know...I would probably break my eyes rolling them so hard.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I like to think BioWare is filled with enough genuinely good writers to know that the long-lost relative card is something a self-respecting author of decent fiction would never, ever pull.

 

[Saint]

Oh yeah, when did that in Empire Strikes Back, I was "Pfft, screw this movie."

Ahem.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

There are exceptions to every rule. Although, really, I can't claim to know whether that was a particularly good plot point because I knew all about Vader being Luke's dad long before I ever actually saw the Star Wars movies. Might've been just as trite there as it is everywhere else if you're going in without ever having heard about it before.

 

[Saint]

Ideas aren't trite, execution is. That was my point. A statement like "No self-respecting writer would ever X" is silly, because a decent writer would be able to make it work even if it is more often used to poor effect.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

We'll have to agree to disagree on that point. When an idea is used as often as that one and is horrible 99% of the time, I'm willing to just call it a terrible idea.

 

[BlackLantern]

or brother

On a quest to spend at least 2400 Microsoft Points before the month is out? BioWare, it seems, wants to help out -- both Kasumi's Stolen Memory and Overlord DLC packs for Mass Effect 2 are dropping to $5 a pop (down form $7), as part of next week's XBLM deal. It may be called the "Deal of the Week," but in this case, we prefer calling it "The Obvious Purchase."

Shame this doesn't apply to the newest DLC as well. I was planning to get the last Alan Wake DLC, and if they'd discounted that one, I could get all four in one 1800 point card
