Basically, it's similar to Deus Ex and Invisible War. Eidos/IonStorm made the call to only accept one of the multiple endings as the "canon" or "true" ending -- so, perhaps Bioware will do the same? Failing that, if you d play as the same character, it really won't be hard to code it from the original perspective (Paragon Shepard or Renegade Shepard)as all relevant information would be contained within the save file from the previous game -- it's not exactly hard to have the plot carry on from "good or bad" perspectve.
IMO at least.
... and if they DON'T have the same lead character? Simple, do what Obsidian did with KoTOR2 -- a tiny little dialogue at the start, where you choose from certain choices pertaining to the previous game; Was Revan a man? A woman? Good? Bad? All answered in a single scene. sloppily of course - but still still answered.

That is possible but of course this would make Shepherd basically starting off as good/evil which I am sure based on the "true" ending. If that's the case the alignment system would either be gone or very odd if you decided to suddenly change your ways.

True that is possible assuming that Shepherd is alive and is playable. Of course players who don't have a save game file would have to have a series of questions like you suggest later on. Of course we don't know if they are going to include this feature but it certainly could stop any issues.

I disagree if Shepherd is dead then there's only need to reference him/her by name and not by gender or by any other actions than Shepherd saved the galaxy. I just simply disagree with the method they no doubt used to kill Shepherd if he/she is actually dead.

Maybe he died of cancer. Or a freak jump zero accident ... never trusted those things. Or maybe he shagged one of the nasty alien biatches and contracted some weird alien sex disease and his head withered and fell off.

Better close up models I heard.. meaning higher res textures? I sure hope so.

I'd say yes. It doesn't matter what ENGINE the game is running, as textures can be anything. They say that close-ups will look better and I reckon that translates into "higher res textures and more detailed models" -- especially in regards to the new lighting they talk about!

The models and textures and mo-cap looked amazing in the first so I dont see how they can improve on what they already had, it is going to be a visual treat for sure, I really cant wait for this one!!!

You play as Shepard in ME2, guys.
Today I didn't even need to use my AK. I gotta say it was a good day. (c) - Ice Cube

Have you got a source for that, please? The video doesn't say anything - just that you find out whether he's dead or alive at the E3 presentation.

You want a public source? Of course there ain't one.
But anyway Shepard almost dies at the beginning of the game and then is resurrected by 'men in black' who need him for their own reasons.
Now you can start with your usual sarcastic comments but we can still get back to this conversation as soon as the info above is confirmed officially.

Probably since you are able to use your ME1 savegame in the sequel.

nice to know i was right about two things, that the save from part one will affect the world of part two (those who die in part one will not be with you in part two) and the question thing, no save from part one gives you a tutorial level just like in KOTOR 2 with questions what happened in part one

It's the downside to spending so many years online, you lose the trust factor with anything but the closest acquaintances.
Still, if what you say is true; then GREAT. I wasn't overly keen on playing as a different character in the first place, I like Shepard.

Not my screens, taken from different places and if this is your idea of good textures then I don't know what to say. You can make it look slightly better tweaking the .ini and shit but it's no big upgrade.
