I going to download the demo tonight. I'm actually glad that I'm going to be able to go back to Noveria, that was one of my favorite planets from the series.

They've already said it's not impossible to get the best ending without doing any mutiplayer or out-of-game stuff. It's just a little bit easier with it. The in-universe explanation is basically that these other characters are accomplishing objectives or holding ground in such a way that it frees up Shepard and Co to do other things (or in the case of Infiltrator, you apparently end up gathering valuable intelligence that you pass on to Shepard). Basically, your multiplayer character is the Wedge Antilles to Shepard's Luke Skywalker...off doing very heroic and important things, but not the "star of the show." |

Ok, I just played online for the first time. I wanted to be a female Quarian but I always play as an infiltrator so the only option for infiltrator was female human. If it's going to be like that then I'm not liking it.
It took me a while to figure out how to equip the Avenger. All the screens are like "WTF???" I'll have to play it some more to form an opinion. Oh, so you have to unlock the races? Somebody on the Bioware forum is also trying to get a Quarian infiltrator with no luck so far. Last edited by Steelgrave; 02-17-2012 at 12:36 AM.. |

I'm going to max out my level on MW3 and then I'm trading that shit in to finish paying off ME3.

That should be more clear when the game comes out. Basically from what I understand there's some sort of in-game "score" that determines what ending you get (this may not be a visible score, mind you...kind of like all those factors that determine who lives or dies in the "suicide mission" of Mass Effect 2). Doing things like playing a lot of multiplayer, or playing the "Mass Effect: Infiltrator" game on iOS will add points to that "score" and thus make it easier to get the best ending.
They've already said it's not impossible to get the best ending without doing any mutiplayer or out-of-game stuff. It's just a little bit easier with it. The in-universe explanation is basically that these other characters are accomplishing objectives or holding ground in such a way that it frees up Shepard and Co to do other things (or in the case of Infiltrator, you apparently end up gathering valuable intelligence that you pass on to Shepard). Basically, your multiplayer character is the Wedge Antilles to Shepard's Luke Skywalker...off doing very heroic and important things, but not the "star of the show." “As you know, Mass Effect 3 is all about the galactic war with the Reapers. We have designed a system to give players a status update on the state of their personal war as they progress through the game and accumulate war assets so they can take the fight back to the Reapers. The more you succeed in the game, the more war assets you earn and the more prepared you are to enter the final stages of the game. An addition to this system is the Galaxy at War, which shows the player who controls which territories on the Galaxy Map and gives players an opportunity to enhance the total military strength of the galaxy by participating in optional things like Multiplayer, the iPhone app and the iPad game. You can get best possible outcome in the game by just playing single player if you want, as long as you are willing to do a lot of the side missions and content. However, maybe you only want to do a critical path run of the single player. Well, by playing multiplayer you also increase your galactic readiness rating can affect the final outcome. Using the iPhone Datapad app and the iPad Infiltrator game will also tie into Galaxy at War and update this final rating. As a result, you can play the game how you want and not be negatively punished if you don’t want to play multiplayer or don’t own any iOS devices. You can do a little bit of all the four pieces and be able to get the best possible outcome. Or you can play a ton of multiplayer and just the critical single player stuff. Or just single player and all the side missions. We designed the system to give players choices, but also tie all the products together in a meaningful way beyond ‘unlock a new gun in single player.’ Galaxy at War is a really fun, interesting meta-game that is part of Mass Effect 3 and we think players will love it when they get the final game.”

Just out of curiousity: Is the multiplayer stuff people are unlocking in the demo going to carry over into the final game?
