Why do I have the feeling we'll be fighting a bajilion generic Cerberus grunts in this huge final epic against out-of-this-galaxy alien invaders ?

Those weapons look the same. The gameplay looks the same. The art style/quality is also the same. I hope the game is better, then again how much can you tell about a game from 2 screenshots.
Well there'll be space battles and new moves like dodge, and to be fair why would weapons change in the coarse of a few years? But I'm sure it'll be good!

As for me, I don't care what it'll be like. I don't care if they reuse the same planets, guns, characters, models and texures, or anything like that. As long as they make a satisfying story, with a good ending to boot, I'm Happy.

However, if they don't include this, I will be upset:
I want to have the choice to help the war with the Quarians and Geth by reuniting them and letting them live peacefully together (also I'd love the geth to help fight the reapers)- Then Tali (my romance option) will finally have that home her father promiced her on the quarian home world(s)

I know this is pure speculation. But my idea is: The Illusive man just needed Shepard to get to the Collector's base/Reapers Tech to further his pro human agenda. If you destroyed the base then he's after you because you basically flip him off at the end. If you saved the base he will be after you because you are of no use to him now and humanity doesn't need you (Shepard) but rather a more human centric hero (Illusive).

Also the fact that Cerberus has Ninjas now is (in my mind) because Cerberus spent the whole second game spying on your squad. Maybe they used the video/feedback recollection to train an army of Thane/Grunt/Mordin/Garrus/Shepards.

Anyhow that's my idea... Can't wait for this game.

Well it does look pretty and pretty shiny but I believe it will make a good ending to ME(have they said it's gona be the last one?) I read in an article that they are going to take elements from both ME 1&2 that worked and reimplement in a functional way, such as, the vehicle sections from ME 1 hopefully made less repedative

Oh and if Mass Effect has any MORE lense flare I think I'll have to wear sunglasses while playing...
Wishing more than anything right now I could come back with an awesome Horatio Caine saying.
Not that

*puts on sunglasses*

is a bright idea.

Holy hell I'm excited for this game!

I'm still waiting for Bioware to come up with a valid reason for Cerberus trying to kill off humanity's best hope, though. :p

I think putting Shepard against Cerberus is stupid, since TIM has no reason to give Shepard anything more on his/her plate than necessary if TIM wants Shepard to take care of the Reapers. Even with the paragon Shepard and especially with renegade Shepard.

Unless of course TIM is kicked out of the Cerberus and keeps only some or no resources that he had. Now that the guy, who genuinely believes that Shepard is the most capable thing in the universe to beat the Reapers and seemed like an able person to keep Cerberus together, is no longer in control, who knows if the new leader figures he should have all the money TIM used on reviving Shepard back or Shepard into his leash. Of course, that's not going to happen and the new Cerberus will fight Shepard.
Heck, they could have a side-quest for it to get TIM back in control (or plain simply destroy the whole thing) and get Cerberus off Shepard's back.

I think if you save the base he (TIM) get's indoctrinated or something

Well Cereberus certainly doesn't care about looking like the good guys anymore. Dark helmets with slanted red eyes don't exactly scream "protagonist".

Okay so everything I've done for cerberus, I shouldn't do? In case it comes to bite me in the ass in 3? Like saving the reaper technology or letting that scientist guy continue to experiment on his brother?
If you did that you're a pretty bad person to begin with imo.

Honestly, how anyone could want to hand reaper technology over to the Illusive Man is beyond me.
The one thing that annoyed me is that I couldn't hand it over to the Alliance. Why do I have to hand it over to the guy who is clearly evil if I want to get an advantage over the Reapers?

That's also an option but I don't think so, if he were to get indoctrinated, he would regardless of the option you take. I think the Illusive man is a really cruel man (not evil mind) rather more like "whatever-it-takes" approach. And he's interested in the expansion of the human race throughout the galaxy... That's kind of supremacist... If not racist (specicist?)

I'm willing to bet (no money lol) that he will fight you (Shep) out of his own free will.

I don't know if it's a "class" as much as a skill tree... And i don't think they'll introduce swords to a game world that's effectly never had them... I think people are making more out of this melee stuff then there accually is. BUT, i could totally be wrong. Either way, my Shepard will stick to his "guns" and use his Assult rifle. Can't see him magicly becmeing a super space ninja when he's never displayed any kind of skills in that department so far.

I think ruthless rather than cruel is a better way to put it. He's a follower of whatever-it-takes ideology, not let's-hurt/kill-him-just-for-kicks ideology.
Also, human superiority requires that there's a humanity that can be superior and a thing to be superior to. Which is why stopping a very capable team from beating Reapers that would destroy both of those requirements is a stupid thing to do from his perspective.

HOLY SHIT!!! ITS THE ENCLAVE!!! HOW DID THEY GET TO SPACE?! The armour reminds me a lot of Fallout 3's armour especially with the helmets

Looks like this game will be a bit harder when it comes to firefights if the armour is any indication of difficulty, which is kinda good because in ME2 I just spent half my time with consecutive headshots and my only challenge being when my team mates decided to be retarded when the YMIR Mechs came out.
