NOOOOO SHEPAAAAAARD

[MetalCraze]

hope it change to something better.

With transsexuals being a new cool thing I believe it is only a matter of time before Shepard (and we) will get a chance to bang some real mangina in a Bioware game

 

[Hobo Elf]

Wait, some of you actually think Shepard is dead? I thought it was obvious that the whole teaser trailer was supposed to be Cerberus propaganda.

 

[Volourn]

"Surely not Volly. It's like I'm going to promise my boss I'm coming to work tommorow but I don't actually. It's not a lie though just that things changed and by things I mean my mind. "

What tool. Did you tell your boss you were coming in the next day KNOWING you were skipping it OR did you tell your boss you were coming in the next for work EXPECTING TO DO EXACTLY THAT yet got hit by a bus therefore couldn't make it?

HUGE DIFFERENCE.

First is a lie, second is not.

Dink.

Let us plug Shepard into the Sorting Algorithm Of Deadness shall we?

...And as soon as I thought of that I realized I never played the game, any help?

Bioware finally have an excuse to recycle an entire set of characters, and they kill them off?! That's preposterous!!

They'll just replace them with "new" characters that fill the exact same archetypes.

 

[Longshanks]

But they didn't lie.
You can import your character from BG2 into NWN.

Except you can import only his name, bio and portrait.

Yep, it's pretty amazing.
I could import characters from any game, movie, book (BG, LOTR, Harry Potter)...
It was cool.

So no, they didn't lie or break their promise at all. If anything they over delivered :!:.

I hate to spoil this, but it must be done :

SPOILER!!!!

My source claims that a Geth shows up and "shocks" you. This is all a work-in-progress but - he's far from dead.

END SPOILER.

Given my animosity and hatred for the "retardification" of DYING in games, it seems this is only the beginning. You Didn't Hear It From Me. And Even If You Did, I heard it from one of my many sources.

EDIT: Edited original claim/spoiler - Source was pretty illiterate when they told me about it, but my second source was slightly more specific.

A lack of a lesbo alien sex scene.
Collar grabbing regret.

This is poetry

Should just quit the game and ebay it the first time you die imo.

Why can't I use a Phoenix Down on Shepard???/

 

[Andrej]

The game starts you of as Gethpard - the Geth'ed Shepard and then you stumble onto an ancient civilization medlab that removes the Gethyness from you and you realize your past mistakes and you go out to fight the space squids again just like in the first game? Because, here's the shocking twist - as a Geth you were privy to knowledge of where the other Spacesquids lived.

 

[The Genius]

"But they didn't lie.

You obviously don't know what a lie is. Things CHANGE. Doesn't make it a lie. Idiot.

Certainly doesn't make it the truth.

 

[zerotol]

Your all wrong : his body will be destroyed, BUT they have saved some hair so they can clone him.

ALAS he will have lost the memory of his previous life, so you can start again with killing kittins to gain Experience.

 

[Talonfire]

Why can't I use a Phoenix Down on Shepard???/

Because he left the party to go and die.

He went to the Unknown Regions to fight against the empire of true Reapers.

On the Bioware forums, a developer has said that you'd better hang on to your saves...

My best guess is that Shepard is *dead* --- but not really dead. And that he somehow is brought to life again ---- if they do a sort of tribute to PS: Torment, I will be truly impressed.

You wake up in a space mortuary. You don't remember who you are, why you are there. You don't remember *anything*. You see a flying alien skull that comes to you...

The skull says his name is Minsc, and crawling all over the skull is a skeletal little hamster named Boo who Minsc claims is a miniature giant space hamster.

Baldur's Gate 2 was the spiritual successor of Mass Effect!!!

 

[Tigranes]

Yeah, high chance Shepard isn't actually dead. I've thrown my money to someone else's guess that he's faked his death for some sort of underground uprising shit.

If they do kill him off it's not a bad move. It would be really interesting to explore, say, people who were inspired by Shepard's deeds but after his gruesome death feel that adventuring and heroics is not worth it after all - or people who are glad to see Shepard gone, or who are engineering his death for political ends, etc.

In other news, global warming isn't all bad, they could look into having all-year female beach volleyball.

 

[Gragt]

They wouldn't reveal it so soon if he was killed, it's just some heavy-handed way to generate talk for the game.

 

[SuicideBunny]

my bet is on abduction by the geth into unknown space (to weasel out of implementing any real consequences to all those fake choices in me1) and ability loss due to geth surgery/being put in the matrix/going undercover to help a geth carebears splinter cell.

 

[feighnt]

*Status: Killed in action

"gasp!!!"

*Shepard jolts into a rigid sitting position

"oh!! thank god it was all just a horrible dream!!"

PLOT TWIST!
