Mass Effect 3 SPECS: 

N/A

The game I am going to be waiting for this year is MASS EFFECT 3, the other two games Mass Effect & Mass Effect 2 where made to perfection. This game I feel will blow my mind and all people who play it, even once.

Mass Effect 3 is the upcoming sequel to Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 developed by BioWare for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It is intended to be the final game in the planned Mass Effect trilogy. 

The story is the 'epic conclusion' to the story started in Mass Effect and continued in Mass Effect 2, as well as the conclusion of Commander Shepard's story. The tone is expected to continue to get darker, yet also bring back some fun and lightness and include a lot more humour.

The player's choices in the previous games are expected to have a much more significant effect on the plot through the decisions made in Mass Effect had on Mass Effect 2. As Mass Effect 3 is the end of the planned trilogy, the developers are not constrained by the necessity of allowing the story to diverge, yet also continue into the next chapter. This will result in a story that diverges into wildly different conclusions based on the player's actions in the first two chapters.

The story between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 is planned to be told through DLC for Mass Effect 2. TheLair of the Shadow Broker downloadable content is the first piece of DLC to begin to expand the story in preparation for Mass Effect 3.

As with Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3 will allow the player to import their save file from the previous game, carrying over their decisions from both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, totaling over 1000 variables. As Mass Effect 3 will import decisions not just from Mass Effect 2, but the original Mass Effect as well, some of the player's decisions from Mass Effect that did not have impact in Mass Effect 2 could potentially have an impact in Mass Effect 3.

"If Sheppard died at the end of Mass Effect 2 save Transferring is not accepted"

Background:

Dragon Age II is the upcoming sequel to the Dragon Age series and is set to hit stores on around March 2011. Unlike Dragon Age: Origins, the main character's race is set in stone and cannot be altered; however, the character's appearance, gender and class are all fully customizable. Hawke, the main character, is a Lothering refugee who rises to power "where it gets its name from" and becomes the Free Marches Champion. Dragon Age II is set in the same world as Dragon Age: Origins, but takes place in the Free Marches.

Dragon Age II focuses around the main character named Hawke, known to be a true survivor of the Blight and the Champion of Kirkwall, who rises to power throughout the story. In the format of a framed story, Hawke's tale spans over a decade throughout the game and the player writes the history that will change the world forever.

Choices that the player made in Dragon Age: Origins can be imported and reflected in the world of Dragon Age. Choices from Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening will also be imported, if the player decides to take this action.
