SO I think it is safe to say that FLARE IS THE FUD!!!!!!

I'm almost ashamed to say I played about an hour in and got kinda bored. Perhaps I missed the point. When I need a break from Grid, I'll drop ME back into the drive and see what I'm missing.

About your question, Scott, I'd go for the latter option - yes, I loved Mass Effect and WANT the sequel but I am fully prepared to wait as long as it takes for it to be everything it could be.

You also didn't check up if you could start again with your character on a second play through on the internet or even in the manuel? You are a fud. (It's ok, she's my sister.)

Pfft, I ended up with Liara, nothing like inter-racial reproduction to help unite galactic races. I think for me, Mass Effect had one thing that a lot other games haven't, and that's some really good character development. By the end of the game you really did (presuming you did a lot of the side quests and spent time getting to know them) which meant that it wasn't just Shepard saving the universe, but Shepard, Wrex, Liara, Ashley etc Great game and can't wait for the sequel(s) Pull Kaidan or Ashley?

Can't quite remember where I saw this discussed, but I think it might have been on the BioWare site. The idea, as far as I know (which isn't far), is that its likely to be closer to the progression between KOTOR and KOTOR 2. You would use a new character, learning new skills, but in a world affected by your first playthrough. Some of the companions from game one will return, and some will be new allowing them to maintain the plotline regardless of who survived. References can be made throughout the game to the actions of your Shepherd depending on your actions from the first game. Did you kill the psychic alien queen? Which sub-missions did you complete? Well, these can be commented on in-game or even affect which missions you're offered. Your Commander Shepherd could even appear as an NPC. But the core plotline, again, can be left to the developers to craft without too much concern. Do you remember the background choices you made at the start of the game? Were you an orphan, what was your military record, etc? Well, having a game save from ME1 would be a bit like that. A series of pre-made background choices. That way new gamers can play without needing to play ME1 and old gamers can have their experience added to. Best of all (some?) worlds. Ok, that’s not quite as I heard it.

Will Kaidan and Ashley still be in the second game even though you sent one (the one you didn't want to pull) off to die. My inner geek needs to know these things now! Someone out there knows!!

Coolio. And strangely, my girlfriend always wants to tidy up my digital space. Read emails have to be deleted, save games have to be deleted if I don't have the game anymore. But I always tell her that you never know. As a cautionary tale, I am going to show her GlitterUK's regret (sorry to use you as an example, Glitter, but whosoever helps one person, helps the whole world entire, or something like that, right?).

I maybe would like to see some neat features but not to much that the game has changed from awesome to great. Awesome games are so much better. Bring it out either next year.

I loved this game but was really annoyed when the game finsihed and did not allow me to carry on. So I was unable to get some of the achievments that I almost had or finish off the last few galaxies I hadn't searched yet, so I started again and thought instead of being boring I would make a new character, even although I was now quite attached to the first one. For the first time since I got my Xbox, 2 years ago, I decided to clear out my hard drive and memory card and I deleted all my Mass Effect saves as I thought I wouldn't need them anymore. Then someone tells me that if I had chosen my first character the second time round she would still have her level and weapons etc and now you go and tell me I need her for the next game. I think i'm going to cry, seriously cry. The more I hear about this game the more annoyed I get. I loved this game but was really annoyed when the game finsihed and did not allow me to carry on.

It's a trilogy - it's meant to be all the one game, no? I'll expect an evolution in the next game from Bioware, when this three part game is done. I didn't even like it back when Jak II was a totally different game from Jak & Daxter. It was so different I didn't see the point in using the Jak franchise for it (other than the fact that it would make money). They should have just made a new IP.
