--- Quote from: Sir William on 2014-09-23, 19:49:56 ---So, is it canon that Shepard dies? I read that a new ME is being dev'd for the new systems, so maybe it'll be a whole new adventure w/new characters? I dunno...I like Shepard (as I've played him, which is myself, really- even looks like me lol).

SPOILERS BELOW
Huge spoiler for those who haven't gotten that far, but pretty much it's written to have that heroic ending. The answer is always somewhere between "yes", and "probably, but maybe he/she somehow survived" depending on the ending you get.
Shepard's story is over, and the new games will go in a different direction.
Sir William:
Ah well...I guess he had a good run. Plus, he'd been dead, blasted to pieces once already. I wonder what that'd be like?
For those reading who haven't played, I am playing on a 360 so the graphics concerns I have are probably not as jarring for someone playing on a PC. If the first ME wasn't so...well, lets just call a spade a spade, its ugly- but for 2007, it was cutting edge. Now though, the lighting, shading, lack of textures all make for a less than stellar game for me. Wish I'd played it when it first came out, though.
I feel like I need to reiterate how awesome this series is- I really like the interactions, side missions, characters and conversations, being able to go just about anywhere on the starmap is just ultra cool. As I've played, I noticed, at least in ME3, that the game is actually quite linear once you land- but giving you the option of going anywhere you want from the start- I wish every game did that, but then, if it did- would we value that as much? Probably not.
Anyone who is a sci-fi fan of any genre should pick this game up and play it.
Sir William:
So, I was sitting there, playing ME2, seeing some familiar faces and realized- as much as I like knowing what's going to happen, it'd be more fun to see it as it happened so I get all the references. I came across a trilogy pack (brand new unopened) in Gamestop that had all three together in one box so you know what I did. Graphically speaking, it isn't as jarring as I expected- and of course, it isn't as cool as the other installments (weapons and tactics are understandably rougher) but I'm getting a kick out of doing it from the beginning.

Awesome! You won't regret that at all. :)
I highly recommend getting all of the mission DLC for ME2 and ME3, and import your savegames from one to the next. And yes, you'll probably find yourself playing ME3 again to see how your choices, and the characters you met, get carried through. :) Everyone who is on your team in the first two games (who survive) will appear again in the third. If you didn't see them in the third, and now you're getting them on your team in the first two, it's probably because it treated it as though you never recruited them.
Sir Nate:
Video link isn't their, but I foolishly watched the honest trailer for the game; though many spoilers, I still want to play the game. Eventually. When I take money to buy it. :)
