I think number 1 looks the toughest, even tougher then male Sheppard. Kind of Sigourney Weaver/ Winona Ryder like. Kind of like a galaxy defending chick should look.

Why one earth would you play a female shepard when you played a male one in the previous 2 games? Meh, i am not buying an EA game anymore anyway after the complete trash that was DA2 and not being able to sell it since i didnt like it.

Because I played as a female Shepard on the previous 2 games.

Damian79 · « **Reply #186 on:** July 24, 2011, 10:36:16 PM »

Fair enough. I wasnt even aware that was possible. I guess because they looked awful i for got about it.

Agreed. I'd choose 1 or 3. Fuck blondes, the redhead looks meh, and 4's hairstyle is straight out of an anime.

I chose 3, but looks like 5 is going to win. What gives?

cool breeze · « **Reply #189 on:** July 25, 2011, 11:52:45 AM »

I like how vain the black one is.

I will continue to use my female Shepard modeled after Jodie Foster.

And why do those Shepard's look nothing like the in game default version? All of a sudden, Bioware wants to spend time on the female version?

Bildi · « **Reply #191 on:** July 25, 2011, 08:56:40 PM »

My femshep has short black hair, so it's not like I'd just vote for the blonde automatically. But out of these I'd vote for 5, 3 would be second choice.

4 looks too much like Posh Spice (her name escapes me just now).

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #192 on:** July 25, 2011, 09:12:42 PM »

My fem shep looks like Jada Pinkett from Demon Knight.

My FemShep is a strong, confident, empowered woman. All false messages about her are dissolved in total grace. Her body is a temple, her mind is of the divine, and her is soul is enchanted.

Combat looks nice, the best of the trilogy by a good bit, but I wish they'd show some other aspects of the game as well.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #203 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:01:52 PM »

I'm going to say 50% chance of being co-op, and 50% chance of being po-op.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #204 on:** October 10, 2011, 03:09:19 PM »

dev confirmed on twitter that it's co-op

4 player co-op multiplayer

Join your friends in the all-out galactic war to take Earth back. The universe of Mass Effect expands with the addition of new co-op multiplayer missions, playable over Xbox Live, PSN and PC internet. Players can choose from a variety of classes and races, form an elite Special Forces squad, and combine their weapons, powers and abilities to devastating effect as they fight together to liberate key territories from enemy control. Success in multi-player will have a direct impact on the outcome of the single player campaign, giving players an alternative method of achieving ultimate victory against the greatest threat mankind – and the entire galaxy – has ever faced.

Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War

As a bonus to the campaign, BioWare is introducing the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, a new way for players to manage and experience the galactic war from multiple fronts, including a new 4-player co-op mode. The key to saving the galaxy is the “Galactic Readiness” level, measured by Commander Shepard’s ability to apply
every possible asset – people, weapons, resources, armies, fleets – in the final battle against the Reapers. Players can impact their game’s Galactic Readiness level in multiple ways via the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, including multiplayer. Other platforms and interfaces will be announced in the coming months. It is important to note that the system is entirely optional and just another way players can have control over your game experience – it is still possible to achieve the optimal, complete ending of the game in Mass Effect 3 through single-player alone.

F.A.Q.

Why include 4 player Co-op multiplayer in Mass Effect 3?

Being able to explore and fight alongside your friends in the Mass Effect universe has always been something we thought would be fun and compelling, and many players have asked for it for a long time as well. Mass Effect 3 is the best place for us to introduce multiplayer through co-op because of the premise of the game – all out galactic war.

Why only 4 player co-op? What not a versus mode?

We have always maintained that we would only add multiplayer into the Mass Effect series if it made sense and did not compromise the power of the single player campaign. Fighting together against a common threat was the multiplayer experience that made the most sense for Mass Effect 3. The way we have designed co-op as a wayto take control of key conflict zones in the galaxy is a natural extension of the premise of Mass Effect 3.

Why did you decide not to include it as a part of the main campaign?

Our priority and focus with Mass Effect 3 has and always will be to deliver a complete and satisfying single player experience.

Does the addition of co-op multiplayer missions impact the scope or quality of the single-player experience?

No. A dedicated team from our recently formed BioWare Montreal studio has been focused on creating the multiplayer game features while the main game continued to be developed by the team in BioWare Edmonton. Both teams are integrated under the same leadership group that produced Mass Effect 1 and 2, led by Casey Hudson. BioWare remains dedicated to delivering one of the most amazing single-player campaigns gamers have ever experienced.

How did developing multiplayer impact the single player game?

BioWare is dedicated and focused on delivering an engaging, fun, and action-packed experience for Mass Effect 3, one that lives up the BioWare standard. To reach that level of quality, last year BioWare opened a studio in Montreal that is home to designers, programmers, engineers, and other developers. Both studios work together as partners, lead by the core Mass Effect team, unified in a single vision. Under the direction of Casey Hudson and other team veterans, both studios make contributions to both the single player and multiplayer modes in Mass Effect 3. Rest assured that no compromises were made to either of these modes in the development of Mass Effect 3.

Which characters can I play in co-op multiplayer? Can I play as Commander Shepard?

Commander Shepard’s part in the war will take place in the single-player campaign, as will that of other beloved characters in the franchise such as Garrus, Ashley, and Liara…these characters do not appear in the multiplayer missions. In multiplayer, players will create custom characters to fight on different and unique fronts in the war. This will include the ability to play as favorites like Turians, Krogans, Asari and more… each with their own unique set of abilities.

What if I don’t like multiplayer – will my experience be negatively impacted?

Mass Effect 3 is a complete, standalone game that will deliver a satisfying story experience, even if you choose not to try multiplayer. The Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system and all of the individual components are meant to complement that amazing game and can be enjoyed on their own or as part of the Galaxy at War experience.

What if I am not good at / do not like multiplayer? Will my readiness rating go down?

ME3 is a story about a war against overwhelming force where the most you can hope for us survival. The more you do to fight that war, the more you can change that story into a more optimistic one. You can reach the highest levels of success in the single player experience alone, but Galaxy at War gives you alternative ways to get there. It’s about choice, and allowing players to find their own ways to stay immersed in the Mass Effect universe.

Will you be adding any additional maps or modes through DLC?

We can’t comment on specifics right now, but can confirm that we are planning on having DLC for Mass Effect 3.

Do save games from ME1 or ME2 impact the co-op multiplayer missions?

No.

Do characters level up in co-op multiplayer? What is the progression system?

Character progression, weapon upgrading and leveling up is present in co-op. We’ll release more information on this topic in the months leading up to launch.

Is there more info about the other platforms of Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War?

We are not going into details about the other components of the Galaxy at War at this time except to say we are designing each to make sense for that platform. Each component will be able to affect a player’s “Galactic Readiness” level in a different way. Again, participation in any or all ME3:GaW elements is entirely optional.

Same.

I may or may not end up doing the co-op stuff on a later playthrough but I'm not even going to touch it on my first "real" playthrough.

So separate characters for co-op. Got it

Trent Dole · « **Reply #213 on:** October 10, 2011, 11:18:54 PM »

So the multiplayer didn't impact the single player game's process even though having a seperate team working on multi probably ate into the budget which would have otherwise gone entirely to the main single player campaign.

Honestly this doesn't seem worth fliailing over if you're not keen on it. Something extra to fuck around with if ya wanna = yay I guess.

At 3:00 of this unboxing video for Battlefield 3 we're shown the card for Mass Effect 3's multiplayer beta, which says it will take place in January. Anyone who buys Battlefield 3 gets into the beta.

The January date was confirmed about 30 minutes ago on the Mass Effect Facebook page. Also, on its forums, BioWare said there "will be multiple opportunities to qualify for early access." The surest is through the Online Pass included in new copies of Battlefield 3.

The game's singleplayer demo will also release at the same time, BioWare said over its Twitter feed. For more information, BioWare has posted a FAQ on its forums here.

Notice of the exact date for the beta will be sent out over Battlefield 3's in-game ticker; you can also sign up for an email notice at masseffect3.com.

Battlefield 3 multiplayer gamers can also go ahead and access a set of N7 Mass Effect 3 dogtags.
