thats really cool, i wonder if going to be able to change ur class without losing all the saves from MS1 to MS2, lest say u were a soldier in MS1 and and u want to be an engineer in ME2 but u don't want to lose all ur weapons, upgrades and armors u had in the soldier class in ME1, that will be classic

I think they will offer new classes for Mass Effect characters, however they will probably be based on your original class. So a Soldier may learn a few Tech or Biotic skills, but will remain primarily a soldier.

I doubt you will be able to keep your gear and stats, you will most likely start at level 1 again, but with spectre training and such taken into account.

My guess would be that you meet an NPC who asks you certain questions about events in ME1, and your answers decide who is alive and whatnot in ME2 if you start a new game, or those answer are pre-defined if you load up a save-game. Sort of like in KOTOR 2.

@1.1 Those branched out classes already exist; Infiltrator (soldier/engineer), Sentinel (adept/engineer) and Vanguard (soldier/adept).

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox332d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast332d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
