BF2S Forums [Mass Effect 3] Official Thread

Just found out Clint Mansell (The Wrestler, The Fountain, Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, Moon) is scoring ME3.

Jack Wall did good with ME 1/2's electronic-esque soundtrack, but I can't wait to hear what Mansell's going to do.

But what about the romance subplots??

according to an old thread on /v/
(in which a person claiming to be a story writer @ BioWare)
predicted alot of the stuff in the trailer and also said that the romance subplots will have a huge role as in the other games...

EDIT: He also said that the only reason there is no "gay" options for Male shepard is that the person that does his voice is a homophobe who will quit the job if he has to do gay voice-work...

Since they actually did do those recordings, I highly doubt that was the reason. No, it was something else.

The vid. you linked is modded it's a maleshep put where the femshep should be

Yes, but he does still deliver gay dialog, that only makes sense if he's gay and talking gay talk.

I was going to buy the first Mass Effect until I learned it was a third person shooter so I didn't purchase it.

Bump. Re-post from the ME2 thread. Happy now Poseidon?

Game Informer Scans (It's slightly jumbled though, sorry)

I can't believe it took someone three days to put 12 pages into a scanner

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Apparently, you get to resolve a Salarian civil war over the genophage and the Quarian/Geth conflict

This is really shaping up, and it's just the first reveal

Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3, Skyrim..... 2011 is going to be a good year for video games

it has to be. i've not installed a game in a year, and even the games i currently own are stale . . .

I hope Wrex is a compainion again.

That way, he could be all like

"Shepard"

And I could be all like

"Wrex"

then he'd be all like

"Shepard"

and I'd be all like

"Wrex"

And it would go on like that for three minutes before I get board and go listen to Ash be racist.

tbh, I don´t think it comes this year though, I´d say early next year.

Agreed. I think a delay is pretty inevitable. It'd be less than 2 years since ME2 came out if it came out in November. I foresee a February release. Wouldn't bother me at all.

Mass Effect 3 is also beefing up the RPG elements to allow for branching skill trees that will allow for powers to change and evolve multiple times instead of just one.

thank fuck

boner

You mean Mass Erect.

Which means there's going to be months and months of polishing. Nothing wrong with that.

Ashley looks like Rhona Mitra now. Too bad she died in my ME1 game.

I don't like that Jack Wall's been replaced. Mansell is a talented composer no question but Wall has created the sound of Mass Effect and anything different would be a real departure from the feeling of the game - which is a crappy thing to happen at the grand finale stage. Already there seems to be a lot of reworking, including even character redesign as shown by Ashley and Kaiden. I want BioWare to ensure that this is the finale to a great series, not a dramatic left turn in the final stages to try and do something different.

The reworking of RPG elements is probably a good thing. I've never been a fan of them but while ME1 was too much ME2 certainly had too little. ME3 will hopefully get the levels right.

A side note: Every time I see the "original" Shepherd I'm glad that you get the option of customising him.

Edit: Hey I just saw, my review of ME2 is the main one on IMDB. *sniff* I'm so proud.
