You import an ME2 save to ME3... where sheppard didn't survive
- Thread starter Zechnophobe
- Start date
What should happen? The thing that should have happened in ME2.
- Oh, no! Shepard's dead! Quickly, let's bring him/her back to life.
- Wait. Won't that take a lot of time and cost us ridiculous amounts of money?
- Well, er, yes.
- So why don't we use those resources to build weapons and warships, and gather armies against the Reapers instead?
- Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?
More realistically, if Shepard dies, s/he doesn't do whatever s/he does in Arrival, so the Reapers come early and kill everyone.

Spartans ARE WH40K space marines bungie just pretends they aren't. Shepard was rebuilt piece by piece using the entire budget of pretty wealthy country in one of the most high-tech med labs in the galaxy by the best scientists money could buy over a period of two years. Compare that to the Master Chief who survived uncontrolled re-entry and unslowed planetfall with zero ill-effects.DragonLord Seth said:

True, but they could've taken their time with it and made it a hell of a lot better than what it came out to be. The same can be said for Dragon Age.tony2077 said:
I fail to see why. The load screen tells you that's the case in ME2, for god's sake.Arontala said:
Jeez, another game where we play as Shepard...yay?
Plus the line-up of teammates looks pretty crappy in my own opinion. They don't appear to have any new squadmates of yet, and the old ones are all just getting annoying.
I personally wish they'd just let Shepard die or bugger off somewhere else with his crew, and then let us move onto a new character with new allies to team up with. Maybe it'd be more fun playing a Earth soldier who is trying to lead a rebellion of scarce forces against the invaders, or a civilian shot down in the atmosphere while trying to escape and having to take up arms to become a unlikely hero, I DUNNO! just something new would be good.

I preferred ME2 over ME, but I'll admit the story was better in the first.CrazyCapnMorgan said:
Also, The Illusive Man revived Shepard to help save humanity, but as it was told that
the IM wants Shepard dead in ME3
I know this thread is a joke, but i still think you should be allowed to import a dead Shepard. Just import the weapons and stats Shepard had earlier but make the outcome of the suicide mission the in-game default. Or why not have a brief joke mode where you play as Joker and break your foot on the Illusive Man's head?
Or... You know... Complete the last game without getting yourself killed.Arontala said:
I think attempting to import a dead Shepard should lead to this on an infinite loop:

Only sung by the Reapers.
Actually, I think ME3 will give you the same option that ME2 on Playstation did, meaning you will be able to tell the game what happened in the previous game. I might be wrong, though.Seives-Sliver said:
It's hard to write a game trilogy where the main character may or may not die by the end of part 2. Even before ME2 came out they said that yes, it will be possible for Shepard to die, but ME is about Shepard, so that won't be the canon ending (just a special feature to tell the player how much they've failed, I guess).CrazyCapnMorgan said:
It just seems hastily made when compared to the first and, though I'm comparing only the second to first, I cannot make an absolute judgment until after the third is released.freaper said:
Both, as ME and DA were made by Bioware and pretty much the exact same writing formula appears to be happening, with plot holes and event irregularities abound.tony2077 said:
They told the world before anyone even played ME2 "If you let Shepard die, you wont be continuing that characters story in the third game".CrazyCapnMorgan said:
If he died on you in that game, your journey has ended and you can assume the Reapers will win. Perhaps they will do a "what if?" scenario.
It would be worse if they let you import him and "oh he's alive again, lets just rehash the intro to ME2!"
Oh right, you were going the whole "write an entirely new character" route. The point is that Mass Effect is Shepard's story, if he dies then that is the end of that Shepard's story.Arontala said:
Because KotOR 2 had about 3 background points to match up (did Carth die, was Revan good or bad, was Revan a male or female). Mass Effect 2 had 700 variations to import from Mass Effect, and Mass Effect 3 will take into account the decisions of both games.Seives-Sliver said:
I can't actually believe you're arguing they should make things simpler. You don't need a perfect save - aiming for one rather defeats the point of the choices and consequences anyway.
You must have a considerable amount of time on your hands to have watched your brother play "most" of a 40 hour game.CrazyCapnMorgan said:
There is only one instance in which you can't import your save into Mass Effect 3, and that instance is not a possibility in Mass Effect 1. The entire point of allowing him to die in the very worst case scenario is to give you the consequences of your (lack of) actions.
