Wow, thanks for all the replies :) I never realised people would comment...

Plp5458, I think you've got a point there about the migrant fleet. They weren't put into ME2 for no reason - they'll be involved in some way in the end battle, perhaps providing firepower or evacuating people.

Octarin, yeah the romance options will be interesting, though I don't think your romance interest will be a party member. Perhaps more like a supporting character (leader of Alliance forces?) who is in a lot of cutscenes...

JakeARoonie - I was waiting for EDI to go rogue the entire game :) It's probably only a matter of time, and it's no accident that she has 'anti-Reaper algorithms'. I'm betting this will be the deus ex machinima I was talking about above - the way to make sure that all players get to kill the Reapers despite whatever options they picked.

Anonymous person (!): I agree that Cerberus or the Alliance will probably be a major enemy for the next game, depending on your choices. The ME2 base decision - which in one moment either makes you the enemy of Cerberus or their ally - pretty much locks this in stone. In a way this is kind of disappointing, it reduces your decision on who to support to a single choice.

Lord Saren101: I'm with you, a happy ending would be a nice change, and I think it would be possible. But only, perhaps, if you did everything right in terms of gathering a good collection of allies.

Bluethunder213: Shepard is certain. Why spend 2 games emotionally investing in a character just to play as their offspring?

Thanks again for the comments guys. I've been away from the wiki for a while and it's good to come back and see this here.
