User blog comment:Legionwrex/Multiplayer to have an impact on Story?/@comment-743796-20120120030340/@comment-1221773-20120120030752

A copy/paste of most of my comment for a topic about this on Talk:Mass Effect 3:

It may have something to do with the War Asset system for Galaxy at War. Assets each have a certain value which is added to a total number which is calculated in your Galactic Readiness rating. A squad of troops may have a value of +25, for example. Perhaps a fully-leveled multiplayer character would be an Asset.
