User blog comment:Bronzey/Tying up the threads: possible storylines of Mass Effect 3/@comment-46396-20100307194217

Interesting post. I think some of the more major plot points to contend with will be areas where the players didn't really have much of a decision, such as in releasing EDI's access to the Normandy. That's just screaming that there will be some sort of crisis aboard the Normandy in ME3 where you'll have to "deal" with EDI, likely with a high-stakes decision for how to defuse the crisis. Here we have an unshackled AI with at least two pieces of actual Reaper hooked up to her, and she seems to have an almost "relationship" going with Joker. So we'll probably have to kill (?) EDI to save Joker or something like that.

Other thing I think will be big is learning the Reapers' origins. My bet is that they were developed by some over-zealous person who probably was a lot like the Illusive Man...to combat a threat, or to ensure his race's superiority in the galaxy...and then things went awry. The Illusive Man would probably vanquish the Reapers just to give rise to the next iteration of immortal tyrants. I imagine a lot of dialogue with him, trying to dissuade him from this course...much like it's possible to dissuade Saren in his final moments.

Anyway, those are my predictions. As for me, I'll be happy with having Tali as a squad member again. Oh, and she'd better go get a helmet that's a little more, um...transparent. :P Wanna see her face!
