Mass Affection (Mass Effect Series)

[Stevil]

Also, she's been on the run for six months and decides to wear the same clothes as before, except without the Cerberus logo.

Well done, Miranda. Well done.

[Stevil]

Is that the one from the lab on Virmire? I killed her back in the first game. Didn't know she turned up again if you let her go.

Yeah, she pops up in ME2 during the mission to pick up Okeer/Grunt. Shep gets pissed off with her for doing more illegal experiments. So, he tells her to start running because there might be more explosions. It's just a throwaway moment if you let her live in ME1.

I was expecting her to show up, after I saw a bunch of people from ME1 return on the Citadel.

[GlowBear]

I think she can't wear any other form of clothes, cos none are tight enough. But fair do's Miranda, at least buy some different coloured body paint.

Oh hey, speaking of ME1 stuff carrying over, you shouldn't read this yet Stevil but everybody who has beaten 3 can:

Spoiler!

I dug how the rogue Cerberus VI from the first game turns out to be EDI.

Yep.

[GlowBear]

Spoiler!

Yeah I thought that was kinda cool. I remember doing that quest

[Stevil]

Must...not...click. Gah!

Thats actually pretty cool. I decided to use a default character for my first playthrough, so missed out a lot of the neat little callbacks to previous games. May start over with an imported character but....those fucking endings!

[Stevil]

I can't imagine playing ME3 without the previous references. I suspect it would be a shorter game without all the cameo missions and minor interactions.

I can't wait to see the DLC. Shadow Broker did more to further the story than anything else in ME2. Just imagine how much potential the next one has.

Yeah, it seemed pretty vanilla.

Aye, Shadow Broker was excellent. So whats the good word on ME3 DLC anyway? Take back Omega?

I'm pretty much convinced they'll do Epilogue DLC.

Spoiler!

And it will start with Shep waking up in London.

Even if that somehow wasn't the original plan, they'd be fools to not do it at this point.

But as far as official statements, all we have is a rather vague message from Hudson saying "we haven't seen the last of Commander Shepard". That and

Spoiler!

the DLC ad at the end of the game.

[ZombiePlatypus]

Must...not...click. Gah!

It's very minor, and something you might miss if you don't go around checking out everything in each mission, so click if you want. It's just more neat to find out in game, mid-mission.

[GlowBear]

I'm convinced of the same and also

Spoiler!

some aria stuff, like omega reclaiming

[Tarvu]

Epilogue DLC is Bioware accepting the ending is shit.

It's kinda lame how there is no history option to have EVERYBODY alive, because people in my position have no choice but to miss out on so much shit.

[Sir Legendhead]

Epilogue DLC is Bioware accepting the ending is shit.

Well, that's about as well thought out and insightful as anything else you've said.

I'll just leave it to you to figure out whether my saying this is a compliment or an insult.

[Stevil]

Blows my mind how people complain about From Ashes, but are willing to throw money at a new ending.

Speaking of From Ashes, it played out exactly like I thought it would. Guy wakes up, doesn't know anything, but has a badass particle rifle to make up for it.

[Sir Legendhead]

All kidding aside, I don't think it's a matter of Bioware "accepting" that the ending is shit. They knew it was shit before the first fan reaction. That's why they left so many obvious hints about DLC. It's pretty obvious that they just didn't have time to do this thing justice. But now? Now they have all the time they need.

[Sir Legendhead]

Also, on a lighter note, exactly how useless is this option?

[ZombiePlatypus]

As for epilogue DLC, I wonder how that would play out exactly? After the credits roll you get taken back to a point before you even raid Cerberus HQ. There's no option to save your current ending.
