你看见这里摆放着整整齐齐厚厚的一叠文件，但是全都被密封着，无法打开。

  Jesus asked, "What is your name?"

  "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many."

Release

Mass Effect 3 does not yet have an announced release date, though release timing will be based on maximising both "quality" and "commercial success". Project Director Casey Hudson has stated that development will be along the same kind of time frame as Mass Effect 2. Mass Effect 2 was released 2 years and 2 months after the release of the original Mass Effect, suggesting an early 2012 release, assuming development does end up following Mass Effect 2's time frame.

Plot

   That actually will be our goal with the whole trilogy. To take all of the things you've done in Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 and then just let it go. Let it diverge into wildly different conclusions. That's the real fun of having played Mass Effect 1 and 2 and then going into the third one will be that you've set all of these things in motion and now we can let them diverge.

— Casey Hudson, Project Director

The plot for Mass Effect 3 is not known in detail. What is known is that the story is the 'epic conclusion' to the story started in Mass Effect and continued in Mass Effect 2 as well as the conclusion of Commander Shepard's story. The tone of the story is expected to continue to get darker, yet also bring back some fun and lightness and include a lot more humor.

The player's choices in the previous games are expected to have a much more significant impact on the plot than the choices in Mass Effect had on Mass Effect 2. As Mass Effect 3 is the end of the planned trilogy, the developers are not constrained by the necessity of allowing the story to diverge, yet also continue into the next chapter. This will result in a story that diverges into wildly different conclusions based on the player's actions in the first two chapters.

The story between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 is planned to be told through DLC for Mass Effect 2.

Gameplay

As Mass Effect 3 is still early in development, only gameplay development goals have been outlined, which are subject to change. In a presentation by Lead Gameplay Designer Christina Norman, at the Game Developer's Conference in March 2010, titled Where Did My Inventory Go? Refining Gameplay in Mass Effect 2, Norman outlined her goals for Mass Effect 3.These included:

   * Richer RPG features.
   * More combat options.
   * More complex enemies.

While Norman also noted that "nobody liked" the mining mechanic in Mass Effect 2, Project Director Casey Hudson later stated in an interview that mining will not be abandoned completely in Mass Effect 3, but acknowledged concerns about its speed and that the game relied upon it too heavily in parts of the story.

Save File Transfer

As with Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3 will allow the player to import their save file from the previous game, carrying over their decisions from both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, totaling over 1000 variables. As Mass Effect 3 will import decisions not just from Mass Effect 2, but the original Mass Effect as well, some of the player's decisions from Mass Effect that did not have impact in Mass Effect 2 could potentially have an impact in Mass Effect 3.

If Commander Shepard died in the player's Mass Effect 2 playthrough, however, the player will be unable to to import their save game. Mass Effect 3's story is a continuation of Shepard's story and if Shepard died in Mass Effect 2 that death is considered final. Similarly, any squadmates who did not survive the suicide mission at the end of Mass Effect 2 will not return in Mass Effect 3.

Also known to have an impact in Mass Effect 3 is any romance the player has pursued. If Commander Shepard had a love interest in Mass Effect, yet pursued a new love interest in Mass Effect 2, this could have negative repercussions for Shepard's relationship in Mass Effect 3.

顶楼比较费解，因为这句话本来只是EDI忽然蹦出来说的，没有道理会被传到某个角落去然后被奉为至理名言，只能理解为要么是legion同学将这个经历上传服务器然后geth们都知道了，要么是若干年后legion变成了一台vi之类的…… 就像如果在citidal的湖里发现一个pda然后上面写着Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining，那就只能是当年wrex在湖里抓鱼未遂而愤然留下的到此一游了。

El final de la trilogía llegaría en 2011 o principios de 2012.

西班牙语 = The end of the trilogy come in 2011 or early 2012.

If Commander Shepard had a love interest in Mass Effect, yet pursued a new love interest in Mass Effect 2, this could have negative repercussions for Shepard's relationship in Mass Effect 3.

这个不是逼着shepard至少禁欲一集么……又得重打了，nnd
