The Art of Mass Effect outs two more ME3 squadmates (spoilers)

Looking more and more like Bioware owes their weird ass forums a creative consultant credit. To go from what was (imo) a great cast in ME2 to this
stuff is incredible.
Seriously, if Miranda/Mordin/Legion isn't in the game over this kind of stuff, just wow.

#2 is a retcon in both design and the fact the character exists at all, but I am still more bothered by the existence of #1.

ME2 spoiler, if necessary:
#2 is disappointingly humanoid after the mildly interesting design they had in the previous games...
I thought EDI and Jester were the ones hooking up. If she's a romance option - and I can't imagine why not since they bothered giving her a body - I wouldn't want to piss off my pilot by sleeping with... well, either his girlfriend or ship...

So he will just watch instead?
I followed Mass Effect a lot before ME1 came out, afterwards the blue-sky notions of what the sequels were going to be like and plot suggestions by idiots turned me off.
Priestly or one of the designers really tried to sell hard choices, the quote was literally, "would you save a little turian girl from an airlock about to depressurize or save both her parents that are about to be executed in the room over, they might have info you need for the quest". I was a bit miffed that stuff like this didn't happen but the first game atleast gave you
ME2 showed some big changes in where the game was going. Themes that Casey and Drew in early interviews like organic vs. mechanical, creation of AI etc. were pretty vague but you saw them get introduced in ME2 with no reference to ME1. In ME1 AIs are non-existant except for the Reapers and the Geth, both of which are so alien and mysterious that we barely know anything about them. The only VIs (not even AIs) we deal with in ME1 are uniformaly hostile indicating they are dangerous. ME2 brought in
Last but not least why did ME2 even happen the way it did,
A lot of the threads of the series got thrown out and I don't know why.

the no-win option on Virmire, a way to talk Saren down etc.

Legion way too late to really be part of the story but his insights were great. The big problem was and to some extent still is EDI, she's an AI (the only one in council space) and it seems like nobody gives a shit and now she's Joker's girlfriend? Shepard was rebuilt with synthetic parts, yet aside from some oblique references to his death what was the point?
ME1 ends with a fucking crazy ship obliterating an entire fleet and the Council committing to see this through, then BioWare discovers it somehow can't figure out how to move the plot forward and just forgets everyone knows about the Reapers now.

Scratched this game off my list long ago.
But at this point I want to play it just to see how bad it is.

First one seems to be the sex toy for Joker... but be careful with his legs! ^^
I just noticed that.
*facepalm*
I literally can't comprehend how they possibly think that taking a character in that direction, or taking the series for that matter, could ever be a good idea.

I thought collectors looked more insectoid but were still mostly humanoid right? (only the 'commander' is more insectoid than regular collector foot troops)

Actually, the original Protheans were Squid-like. Collectors are a mix of humanoid-insectoid. That's why I'm more inclined to think this member is a collector instead of a Prothean.

Nope. Read the bottom of this:
Dude is a prothean that's been in stasis for 50,000 years.
LOL completely OT, but I always see your avatar as if the little yellow triangle was Cthulhu's tooth and not his eye, and his real eyes are covered by the headcrab
He just looks fucking chill, LOL.
They can retcon that away like they've done with everything else.
There was a sentient psychic plant that lived far longer than that.
Well, hope they have a good explanation for the way he looks, though.
Maybe he is using some kind of armor and his actual body's all squid-like

I actually think character #2 is kind of awesome. Can't say I approve of character #1 though.

I'd actually be really proud of Bioware if they completely ditched the romance stuff for the game. But considering they doubled down on it in ME2, I'd say ME3 is going to have lots of it. Bumping uglies with Krogans.

I said fuck, not falling in love.
But seriously, Romance spoilers regarding the two first games and DLC:
If you nailed Liara on ME1 and then in the Shadow Broker DLC, it wouldn't be nice if you go on with your save to ME3, have sex with other character and nothing happened.
There must be some continuity and they must take note of it.

Considering how the reception of Vanquish turned out, I have severe doubts.Riposte said:
Can't you guys make a spoiler megathread for Mass Effect 3?When I saw the title, I couldn't resist and had to click on it and it spoiled me two characters I would have been amazed to discover on my own in the game.
If it was in a single megathread I would have never been tempted to click and see those pictures, can you do this, please?I know megathreads aren't the policy here, but please make an exception for this game.

As long as my Renegade Shep can say something like "Lets just be friends." or "I think I'm gay" while macking Ashley.
Not only is there is a spoiler warning in the title, but the reveals in the OP are spoilered. Get some willpower, son.

I already read them all.
I don't game for stories. I game to press buttons and make awesome.
But I am WEAK.
Oh well at least those characters sounds awesome, except that EDI is way too naked for a robot.
Ugh why are we still using spoiler tags on page 8.
Why do the Protheans look absolutely completely nothing like everything we've seen of the Protheans so far? Are tentacle eyes not sexy enough or something?
Also lol EDI. God that is the most transparent character arc ever. Guess we're gonna see Tali's face (and sweat!) in ME3 after all!

I don't know why the hell people are complaining before they've even played the game.
"A mental ranger and his talking hamster? THAT'S THE WORST COMPANION OMG BIOWARE WHAT A DICK YOU ARE TO US FANS."
"An angry narcissistic sadistic robot who hates you and wants you to die? OH MY GOD BIOWARE NOW YOU ARE TROLLING!"
And on. And on.
These two are fine. Treated properly, they could be brilliant companions. Stop moaning until you've played the bloody thing.
