How awesome would it be if he could actually assassinate targets as a member of your squad? Imagine instructing him to pick off a target whilst you concentrate on another enemy. Oooooh, the possibilities...

I can't stop looking at his eyes. They're awesome.

You know what? I'm going out on a limb and betting he can go invisible predator style and sneak up on enemies :D

I'd find it hard to believe that Bioware wouldn't exploit his role as an assassin in the game - I'd be surprised if he didn't have some kind of stealth mechanic.

I can already see him being my favourite squad member.

Seriously. I can't WAIT to see how he and Wrex respond to one another.

No way I can possibly disagree. It really is looking like it may very well be the franchise of this generation.

Haha probably not too good a move. If there were anyone that would probably end up risking his life for you, Wrex would definitely end up being one of them. :)

Eh, we just didn't get on. I felt like he was trying to take over too often.

Plus I was ultimately obsessed with trying to boink Ashley - which I succeeded in doing, by the way - and that kinda led to the death of Kaiden and Wrex.

Hopefully they expanded on the character creation feature. Regardless of how nice I can make my female characters look in the creation screen, they always end up looking awkward in the game cutscenes. More hair options would be nice too.

Actually, ANY character using almost any sort of hair looked pretty damn stupid. They really really have to improve on that. That's the reason I'm using a bald shepard, and I'm sure that's why the default shepard has no hair as well.

"At the beginning of the game, you start to get an idea of something really scary, really dangerous, that you’re going to have to do at the very end of the game," Hudson told us.

"To get ready for that you’re going to have to build up your crew, build the best team that you can, build up your ship, and then when you think you’re ready you’re gonna go in and do it."

“All the squad members that you pick up are completely new characters ”

"If you don’t do a lot of the stuff, or make the right kind of choices, the ending will be a bloodbath, and the people that you brought with you will die, and it’ll be a great ending, but it’ll be that kind of ending."

Hudson also said that while previous squad members from Mass Effect will return, none of them will be recruitable.

"All the squad members that you pick up are completely new characters," he said. "Some of them from races that have never been in your squad before."

"It’s going to be larger squad, a lot more varied and very, very different kinds of characters. "Everyone that you can take with you is a different character from before."

None of your previous squad members from ME1 will be recruitable? That's a bit disappointing. It would have been good to have some continuity from the first game with regards to your squad, but if the other squad members are as interesting as Thane, I won't be disappointed in the slightest.

I love the whole build up of this 'suicide' mission. It sounds as though you're going to be spending the whole game sort preparing for this ultimate mission, which is going to make or break your experience.

Can't wait.

I actually like this idea. It could mean that this is a strong sign of just how far Bioware is going with the improvements on different kinds of races and classes that they want to show off how varied and different squad members can be by going as far as to not give allow you to recruit previous squad members.

It could also mean potentially amazing things for the story that they aren't recruitable. I can see them using previous relationships with characters from the first game as a means to do some pretty interesting things with the story.

I wonder if they'll put us in situations where we have to decide who we want to help. Perhaps also the choices we make will involved characters from previous titles and those choices may end up leading to our demise. I have a feeling that alien species I saved in the first game though will help me in Mass Effect 2.

Yeah, true. I swear I've seen Tali in one of the previous videos.

There's obviously going to be some very emotional decisions to make along the way regarding old squad members.

Who the Rachni Queen? I thought it was understood that she didn't want her children to used as instruments of war? In fact THAT was the condition she agreed to when Shepard released her.

Or at least when MY Shepard released her :)

The Noveria mission reminded me of the Star Trek TOS episode "The Devil in the Dark", where Kirk intervened in the saving of the rock species Mother Horta and her children who miners were killing for their silicon eggs.
