For what it's worth Old Man (and even though I shouldn't have looked at what you said), but I'm pretty sure that's been confirmed to NOT be the case. Hell, I think it might be confirmed to NOT be the case period, for anything.

Confirmed not to be the case? What do you mean?

So I think I will let my ME3 story take it's natural course so to speak.

I mean, I could go back and do the 1st 2 the way I want.

But I think it makes more sense to play through the saga whatever way your game turned out the 1st time you played it.

In a way my Shepard makes perfect sense.

He got his whole squad killed originally but got the mission done.

Pretty much exactly like I did in ME2 :awesome:

Livewire, what I told you is still true, but there has been some adjustments to it as I was using the information from the old leaks whereas now I've managed to get pictures and the new updated information.

Hey Pluvia, do you know anything about the current rumors
of Shepard dying and your team-mates being stranded on a planet regardless of which ending you get?
What do you think?
I know the facts, I was one of the half dozen that managed to get my hands on the new files because he only uploaded them for 10 minutes at an awkward time. What I can tell you is there's a lot of misinformation flying about, even more than the old leaks, and I will answer your question but not here because the spoilers are too big so I'll PM you instead.

Remember he said rumours ODIN.

Edit:

Though everyone avoid Bioware Social Network like the plague. They have like 10 threads every few minutes with MASSIVE endgame spoilers.

No Tali fans are going to like Tali's face because the whole allure is the mystery and it'll never live up to each and every perfect image of her face they have created and they're just too stupid to realise this spoiler alert.

Okay, then that's good if it's still true to the effect you said (since it would've sucked if what Old Man said was true regardless). And yeah, naturally the Bioware forums have ending spoilers.

Someone who got a version of the game from those weather balloons has been extracting and uploading the videos he's come across in game as he goes along so naturally there'll be them. Though, from what I heard he didn't even get a decent/good ending, so...

But yeah, I'll leave it at that, since I've probably got enough information as it is. That being said, the moment a Mass Effect 3 commercial was on TV last night was when things got real and I was all "holy crap, it's 6 days away".

If they pull something like that, going to be so damn pissed.
I'd laugh, cry, and



laugh some more all the way to to the funny farm. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming to take me away, HA HAAA!!

._.

Anyway...

Wait, are you saying we'll see her face?

I'm a Tali fan, but my 'main' (soldier) romanced Ashley (since Tali wasn't an option), and stayed loyal to Ashley, so... Yeah...

My VANGUARD however... Tali. All the way. And it will be that way for 3. Giggity.

So...what does "N7" mean/stand for?

I believe it's Alliance Military speak. I think, the "N" means Special Forces, and the "7" means rank. So...N7 means "Special Forces, Rank 7", which I BELIEVE is the highest rank of it. In other words, N6 would be second highest, and N1 would be lowest. Think of it as "space 007".

This, I honestly don't know.

I'd hope not but the fan cry to see her face will almost be as big as the fan cry once we've seen her face, so we probably will.
I almost expect them to do a copout where we only see part of her face or something. I dunno.
I can see both sides of the argument (not that it's really an argument).

On the one hand, I want to see her face.

On the other, you don't because you have the mental image of what you have her pictured as built up now.

Maybe a different Quarian at least, if not Tali. I don't care if they do another cop out with Tali either way, but I still want to know what a Quarian looks like sans the suit/mask.

It doesn't matter what they do with Tali, the fans will cry regardless.

Also my god there seems to be a lot of hear-say on the Internet about the ending. There one very specific part of the ending that wasn't in my leak that I'm trying to find the source for, but no one seems to have it, so I'm pretty sure a lot of people are screaming and crying about something that's not even true.

Yeah, that's the downside of things like the Tali situation. No matter what they do, someone will be pissed off. It's like...Bioware put themselves into having to do a Paragon/Renegade choice for ME3, lol. The question is...what's the Paragon one here, and what's the bigger portion of the fans? The ones who WANT to see Tali's face, or the ones who DON'T want her face shown? Because well...I can imagine whichever is smaller, is the one Bioware will settle on pissing off.

Just completed the DLC w/Kasumi.

It was okay, wish it was longer but I got a snazzy new outfit to wear! :bee:

Yeah, I wish it was longer too, but it was fun and had a nice spy feel while it lasted.

And please tell me I'm not the only one who finds it impossible to NOT shoot Hok's statue.

It's the shape of their eyes you can see through their visors that leads me to think they look like that.

Either that or they look like this.....

I'm going to link to here first:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118842/quotes

And then follow up:

Anyway, yeah, I can see that.

So I STILL have not gotten the frakkin' Widow yet...

In the meantime, I've done the following...

Krogan Soldier Level 20
Human Soldier Level 20
Salarian Infiltrator Level 20
Mantis X
Avenger X
Katana X
Shuriken X
Tempest X
Mattock Mattilda X
Phalanx X
The first pistol X...

NO CARNIFEX
NO WIDOW
NO HORNET
NO CLAYMORE

Not that I'd use the Hornet or Claymore...

But

Yeah, I haven't tried gold, but I've had about a 50% success rate on Silver. Just depends on my partners. It's funny to see how OP Vanguard is in Bronze, but becomes a bit of a struggle in Silver and Gold.

Holy crap, the GameFAQs Mass Effect 3 (360) board is just crazy weird. There's random bizarre random theories and things like an argument over whether Krogans can swim, to people demanding the Hammerhead VI be a romance for Femshep, to a random bizarre theory about Dark Matter that has what seems like a thousand people screaming is the dumbest thing they ever heard out of the ridiculousness of it and calling for the guy to get kicked in the nuts for even doing a "wouldn't it be cool if...?" thing about it. :urg:

Gamefaqs...such a shame that there are so many...I don't want to use the word "stupid", but there's a lack of intelligence at times there.

The Dark Matter thing was in the original (as in before the old leaks) version of the end.

Edit:

Day one patch confirmed. What's in it? Dunno.

Get out of that h-hole ASAP, lmao.

I used to post there when I was around my early teens. Good thing I only posted on forums on games barely anyone played or I might've tainted my brain functions.

No offense to those who actually post well.

Who has the PC version so we can play online? :]

So one of the romance scenes are on the Internet, it's the gay one, I would link it but as always it takes place right before the last mission so it has spoilers.

It looks like you can't accidently fall into it though, you need to previously romance him then you have to click 3 gay dialogue options to get it.
