In an interview with AusGamers, BioWare's Mike Gamble, who serves as Associate Producer on Mass Effect 3, revealed that narrative components and certain characters and decisions made from Mass Effect 2's DLCs would have a significant role in the narrative of Mass Effect 3.
He also talks a little about how your decision at the end of the second game will shape events in Mass Effect 3.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.
If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.
So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,
You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups
Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was
anthem......
Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....
They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table
How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.
Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
Isn't that always the case? I was expecting it.
an email saying thanks? like mass effect 2
Apparently decisions you made in Jade Empire will also play a role in Mass Effect 3. What an unbelievable game this is shaping up to not being.
It's usually the case with the main games, but DLC rarely seems to be something impactful, and to my knowledge, this is the first time a sequel has offered something like this.
Hopefully you can pursue a relationship with Kasumi Goto
Nothing surprising there . At least two dlc are either key or "sequel" events . Of course thme3 will deal with liara and the shadow broker affair , and of course it would deal with ME2's dlc epilogue .
Seems also obvious to me that Dlc chars would be more fleshed out , as their lackluster dialogue outside of their missions was only a result of being dlc .
The once again annoying part is key end game decision are still trivial in a way once again .
It didnt matter much what you choose about the council in me1 , with the story on auto pilot , shipping you off away from their territory , and hardly dealing with the council .
And it's equally frustrating that me2's big end decision will still lead toward the same path it seems .
I can only hope that earlier big decision from me1 and 2 at least make a far bigger impact and are addressed . LIke truly showing what the choice about the council from me1 could lead to .
