well it actually depends on the save game you have for ME1 and ME2. As Bioware intended that the the mass effect series to be a trilogy they are targeting fans of the series play ME1 save your savegame play ME2 using your ME1 savegame and when ME3 launches play using your ME2 savegame with a ME1 backplot.

afterall isn't the Paragon ending that is consider the true canon ending to the series rather than the renegade ending.
