I did my research after I posted the comment, serves me right lol 😕 . I always end up having a starting char as a Imperial - love the whole Epic warrior knight thing about the race, then again that doesn't really apply exclusively to that race.I love how the story is just so amazingly complex but simple to follow. Drew Karpyshyn is a truly amazing writer - he writes the story novels and the story boards for - most of - the games Bioware publish.
He is so compelling and i've read the first mass effect novel (Revelation) and i'm half way through Darth Bane Rule of Two (second book in the series) as well and i've just not been able to put them down when i pick them up.
No doubt this game will have just as rich a story as ME and ME2, if not something on a whole new plane of incredibility (probably just made that word up lol).
Jealous for your rig though dude - wish i had a computer with enough room to install both games on. I've got both games on Xbox, and although they both work perfectly and graphically they superior to a lot of other games, i've seen a couple of people playing them on PC and they're something else
I just found out that me2 won xplay 2010 game of the year. It also won for best writing, best role playing game.
They just announced that Clint Mansell will be doing the score for ME3. I'm very excited about this as Mansell does some of the best and most underrated original scores in the film industry over the last decade - Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan. His music is haunting and often dire and should fit the inevitably dark tone of this final game perfectly.

Requiem for a Dream is chilling in a way. I think the emotion in the composers style will definitely fit the game series' climax - provided this is the last game in the Human-Reaper war
...
From Game Informer:
Spoiler:
As daunting as the opposition is, Shepard may get some help from unexpected places. In one story-boarded sequence we saw, Shepard's is in a column of Krogan vehicles as an advancing Reaper devastates the surroundngs. A damaged Turian fighter crashes into the column, destroying Shepard's vehicle as the hulking foe moves forward. On foot and faced with a hopeless battle, all seems lost until a Thresher Maw bursts from ground and begins grappling the Reaper. Shepard runs underfoot as the two titanic creatures clash overhead, and the Thresher Maw gains the upper hand by constricting itself around the Reaper and pulling the machine under the sand. The struggle appears to be won, but then lasers begin bursting through the ground, indicating that Shepard should probably get out of there as fast as possible.
This game is going to be awesome.

Wait, wait, wait.Spoiler:
The majority of the Turian fleet and Citadel defense fleet were hard pressed to take out Sovereign alone, yet, a single Thresher Maw is able to hold its own against a Reaper? A thresher maw, that thing that Shepherd was able to kill by himself with a gun in ME2?
That surprised me at first but rumor has it that
Spoiler:
the Thresher Maw that attacked the Reaper is the Colossal Thresher Maw that most people in the Milky Way believe is a myth. Btw, don't forget the reason why the Turians and the Citadel had trouble dealing with Sovereign was because of it's mass effect fields which prevented projectile weaponry from hitting it. Of course physical attacks would be most effective. Remember fighting the Shadow Broker? He had a shield that was vulnerable to Shepard's punches. The battle between the Reaper and the Thresher Maw is in the same scenario.

Also note that the size on the different reapers might vary considerable based on that each Reaper apparently is made of organic tissues of different species that have been killed. The Human reaper for instance was nowhere near as large as Sovereign as far as I could tell.
I think what should be the main highlight for this game is gloating at the Council for being wrong the whole time.
Turian Councilor - Shepard, you must help us! The Reapers are attacking the Citadel!
Shepard - "Ah yes, Reapers. The immortal race of sentient starships allegedly waiting in dark space. We have dismissed that claim." Aren't those the exact words you told me awhile back, councilor?
Heres the truth, it's like the matrix, there have been many Illusive Men, and Many Shadow Brokers, they are both pawns of the reapers who are put in place to keep tabs on the developemental aspects of this 50th decade batch of civilizations, both to make sure they don't stray frm the evolutionary path that the reapers lay down, and also to make sure a surefire defense against the reapers isn't invented.
They also run a smear campaign burying all evidence of reaper activity as the invasion moves closer to help things along and to create divides in factions, this is why we see the alliance STILL flapping even though they were goddamn witnesses to the first reaper.
Hackett is gonna be the loophole, he's been off the grid because he's set-up a secret division dedicated to developeing weapons to use against the reapers, it will be known that he was incharge of the "clean-up" crew at the citadel, and recovered the majority of the damaged reaper vessel to study it, which he ha successfully done because the reaper prensence (AI) had been killed when he transfered to saren.
This is also why Earth is the target, Hacketts base is Luna, and his defense /anti-reaper weapons are there also.
Final chapter is gonna rock.

Is that speculation?
