Got links how to do that? I'm travelling on business next week + gf coming over for the weekend. Playing this in the middle of the week would be a godsend.
My case exactly, I played ME1 on X360, then ME2 on PC and now I'm buying ME3 for PS3. I was curious whether ME3 gives you any way to influence past events from ME1 and 2, for example via some in-game dialogues or during character creation?

So when does the review embargo lift for this?
This confusion on the game modes could have been prevented if Bioware just made the normal game and stopped pandering to action bros.
Glad to hear it's around 40 hours though. That's about the same time it took me to beat the first 2, but I spent about 5 hours scanning in ME2 so it was actually a little shorter than 1.

Did this guy ever played ME2? If you accept a directly imported face, you can't "adjust or touch up". It just goes straight to class selection.

Got the CE pre-ordered @ Bol, didn't want to risk missing out on the CE.
There was only one menu after character creation that gives you the option to preset past events. You get 3 choices - You saved Kaiden, You saved Ashley, and Various (I forget exactly what this option was). From what I understand for ME2 on PS3 there was some kind of comic book that you could download from the cerberus network that would allow you to recap ME1 and set your choices there before starting the game. I couldn't find such a thing in ME3.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall, when, during the development process, it was brought up that characters imported from ME 2 with appearances originating from ME 1 may be complicated. I'd love to have heard how they eventually deemed it to be acceptable to just leave it out.
Story mode makes the combat extra easy but it's the same encounters as RPG mode. Action mode is also the same game but it will pick certain dialog options instead of showing you the option.
Unless you want to be bored out of your mind during combat just pick the RPG option and play it like ME2 and ME1.

I was just about to post the exact same thing. Glad to see I'm not the only one losing it.
What's the best way to do that btw?
I forgot what programs to use.

If I walk into Best Buy tomorrow, what are the odds I'm going to be able to score a CE?
:/

Except now you can adjust faces. People have said so in the thread.

If you get there as soon as they open, there's a possibility. Just go straight to the gaming area and ask someone or they may have them already on the shelf. Way better chance than if you tried a Gamestop or something.

Sue Amazon. 12 times.
Mine just has an ambiguous "Not Yet Shipped"
Maybe it will ship by accident?

This includes faces that were imported from ME1 or only faces that were created in ME2?
Anybody have an idea of how much the MP affects the SP? I want to get ME3, and have it preordered, but I'm seriously considering holding off for a couple months while I clear out a few backlog games.
But if the MP affects the SP story, then I'll just stick with my preorder and get the game tomorrow. (X360 version for me)

please send it to me too.
IIRC it doesn't at all - it just helps you with arming the galaxy and you can do that by just playing SP, it's just a little bit easier with mp.
Thanks a lot!
Can't wait.
You're welcome and, tell you what, there won't be much to wait: 2 mins to go
PMs sent to those who asked; I'm off now guys - have a nice afternoon.
Not sure, the Best Buy over here in the Bay Area said they weren't getting any more CEs, and all their preorders are booked.
I had ordered 2 CEs for 360 on Amazon, and....drumroll.... Just sold one on EBay for $145. Cue maniacal laughter.
They waited until everyones pre-order has shipped before lifting embargo. Nice move.
The MP does affect the "Galactic Readiness" rating. This rating is determined by a bunch of other online components such as Co-op play, Facebook mini games, the iOS game etc. If you're a completionist, you don't need it. I was able to fill up the rating to about 95% without having to touch the online component at all.

Just started to download the Digital Art Books from Origin. It's a 1.1GB download!

You can play most of the games with Origin turned completely off, but I'm not sure how it works with games that require Origin like ME3 and BF3. I would imagine that wouldn't work with them, and I'm not aware of an actual offline mode.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I've decided to buy some blue cheese, maybe some dip, and crackers to go with my beer for when I pick up ME3.
That's all I have to contribute.
Oh wait, one last thing.
To hell with everyone about to unlock it.

OK, thanks. I have been enjoying the MP demo (on XBL) so far. I'm a big fan of co-op gaming.
Still debating whether or not to get the game tomorrrow....
Stupid backlog games.ScreenSplitter

To the murky depths of Hell, where you shall forever be trapped within the Bioware Social Network.
I haven't played it so I don't know. Just going off of what people have said in the thread.
Details now up on a popular news site. I'm sure someone will post it if EC allows it.
