Since Garrus was on a downspiral of renegade, I'm wondering how much he'll change in this one? Then again, he may not even be alive depending on previous gameplay.
Previous gameplay being the main concern. So many characters can die off that it'd be incredibly hard to move around. I suppose the easiest route would be to make a new group of playable characters, with the previous only being shown or mentioned a finite amount of times. Tali =/= canon! Tali =/= canon! |

Why are they putting so much effort on Earth?
I thought the Reapers start at the Core before moving out or are they just going all out because they lost the Citadel? Seems like they are only focusing on wiping out the humans. |

So it turned out to be a Mass Effect 3 trailer and not a new series as many had speculated. Neato!
Holiday 2011 though...yeah, I'm not expecting them to keep that due date. Bioware already has a big enough year with Dragon Age 2 and The Old Republic (and I expect TOR will be a little buggy, especially considering it is an MMO), so I strongly suspect ME: 3 will be pushed back to Q1 2012. Still, that's a faster turn-over than MS: 1 to MS: 2 (admittedly, MS: 2 was strongly redesigned, so a larger turn-over was expected)... Spoiler for potential character spoilers...:

Humans can produce people like Shepherd, and since the humans are currently strong-arming the Citadel as well as many other powers, industries, and key locations across the galaxy, the Reapers aiming for the humans was going to happen eventually. If you need to kill a serpent, take off it's head. If humanity became extinct, or severely weakened, the rest of the galaxy wouldn't have the utility of the Alliance. |

Trailer blew my mind off. I just hope all the decisions in the first two games finally have some weight here...
Spoiler for ME2:
...or will they shamelessly reset them and allow you to make the decisions again? Still, can't wait for it. Oh and yeah, Tali & Garrus have to be included. Period.

i) Remember what you fought at the end of ME2? ii) Twice has the Reapers run into a brick wall for Plans A and B and both times one species led the charge. iii) Shepard is human, attacking his homeworld means you know WHERE he will be going, instead of having to hunt an elusive moving target |

My Shepard is a colonist, so the middle finger's on you, Reapers.
That being said, I seriously, seriously hope 'Earth Attack' is just the prologue for the ME3. We've known that Reapers take a long, long, long, long time ( centuries ) to completely and slowly harvest and destroy civilisations, but knowing Bioware, I'm worried the final battle ( and only large-scale Reaper War ) will culminate on Earth instead of being spread out throughout the Relay Space.
