Considering how little your choices in ME1 carried over into ME2, I'm interested to see how they transition between ME2 and ME3. I get the feeling all the unwanted characters from ME2 are gonna get killed off in the first reaper attack cutscene. Or they might even have to go for the 'canon' ME2 ending, Jack died in the suicide mission, etc.
As much as it seemed like a cool idea at the time, carrying your choices over between the games actually lessons the gameplay experience. Why would people want to play a game knowning they are missing out on content? If you killed Wrex in the first game, you get to go through ME2 and ME3 knowning there is stuff regarding him you aren't seeing. As far as I've seen, there is no bonus or extra content if you do kill him. Same if you get legion or mordin killed in ME2. You know you are going to miss stuff in ME3.

All I can say is that there better be more dancing Shepard in ME3.

The problem I saw with the save game imported idea was that the choices you made barely affected anything. The majority of choices you did in the side quests were merely mentioned in the form of letters which did nothing to change the main game. Even some of the bigger choices did nothing. For example you can still complete Mordins loyalty mission the same way regardless if you killed Wrex or not. Your surviving squad mate will still berate you for joining Ceberus the same way regardless of who you spared. If Bioware can't do something like this right then they shouldn't bother with it.Jazper said:

The follower who died in Mass Effect 1 was found by the reapers and put together again, so that they might kill the "hero".

It'd be great if it's the character you left to die that ends up returning and the one you saved is just killed off after one mission.Stereotypical Villain said:

Phew, means I'm not a fag! Hated Ashley too, but Kaiden was the most whiniest, self righteous and boring fuckhead this side of Onasi. I still remember the trepidation I felt as I left him to die thinking that it probably was going to be a trick and he'd come back somehow.

Killing off Kaidan was one of my happier moments of ME1. Fucker better not be coming back, unless it's to let me kill him again.
I don't have particularly positive feelings towards any of the ME1 NPCs who elected to ignore my character's existence in ME2. Fuck 'em all if they can't deal with someone dying then coming back to life two years later working for a terrorist organization. To the airlock they go!

your fish-tank is leaking, the nice e-meil girl was eaten by insects because no one told you there's some hurry in rescucing her as in ME1 when they had told you to hurry... and you hadn't believed them and you had been right, no, in ME2 you had to hurry and I missed the pole dance of my sweety and I am so angry at this game

this topic is now closing to 4 pgaes

and back on topic:
what's wrong with ME? I didn't like a single person from ME universe (huh, see what... ), a bit accustomed to Kelly (was she Kelly?) as she looked as my personal servant, but when they told me to go fight I thought: "Yeah, I've seen your tricks, ME1 was rush all about and no-one cared, FU too, and fuuuu... so much for my reason to play the game...
EDIT: I haven't even watched it on youtube because somehow bioware is unable to create "Women" with their own creator... wonder why these gay romances...
EDIT 2: oh yeah, you need to see my excuse for playing MEhs
more EDIT: as in "i draw naked chicks as a hobby and possibly trumping soroyama some day but somehow being concerned with faces some fucking how and that's it"
now this is the key to understanding bioboards fucks
if only they knew true beauty

Kaidan was awfully awful.

I was going to say that the best part of ME over KOTOR, JE, and DA was the ability to kill Carth as part of gameplay, but I realized you can actually do that in the other games except KOTOR, where you can kill him in an epilogue. So I guess Bioware's games haven't been improving after all.

Ah, yes, death as a problem. We have dismissed those claims already... Gaider recently said that for BioWare, killing people does not make them .... dead. It's just a metaphor for the consequence of doing something the devs didn't think was canon. Eg you killed Leliana and Zevran in Dragon Age, but neither are dead and come waltzing back into little cameos in DA2. So expect Wrex, Sarin and whichever squad mate you had die on you in the "suicide" mission to return, full of life.

Honestly, I don't think we can expect that kind of stupidity from Mass Effect 3. Deaths in ME1 carried over 100% in ME2. The problem was that it only made a minor difference.
