The Mass Effect 2 Après Jeu Game Discussion Thread (with spoilers!!!)
Johnny C:
i think you guys are maybe underselling the way that minute decisions affect the tenor of the game world. you let the council die? you don't see the council. you let them live? you do. one cutscene, but a cutscene that when you're playing it makes a ton of difference. same diff with wrex. and having certain areas populated differently is just as interesting, since it creates a sense of continuity. the big picture is the same, sure, but like mass effect isn't a game where the cool stuff happens in the big picture.
they pulled it off in mass effect 2, i stick by that. i'm i guess a dude who thinks that the experience of a text is fairly important, and the experience may only be subtly different between a renegade and a paragon playthrough in terms of what you import but i'd argue that those differences do, in fact, matter. and if the decisions you make in mass effect 3 have a subtle effect on the game? so long as it creates an interesting story, then good. frankly, if – for example – they do kill off the council in me3, well, that wouldn't have happened to a different shepard. and so that matters.
Tom:
When I first got ME2, I played through without a save to see what they decided was canon. It was pretty bleak, you guys.
ackblom12:
I am definitely down with JC on this. All of those small things make a big difference in the feel of the world for me. I don't need it to make a massive difference in the overall story for me to enjoy the small changes, and some not so small, that are made
Ozymandias:
Yeah, a fresh playthrough with a brand new character in ME2 even has a radically different tone vs. my paragon carry-over. I thought it was pretty well done.

Erm, have you got a source for this?
I'm on Biowares newletter, last I heard they hadn't released any official info and it's just internet rumour (though a decently reasoned one, in fairness) that the third game focuses on Morrigan.
Bioware's official statement on the matter has been that the focus of the Dragon Age series is the Dragon Age itself, not any particular hero and the offical statement on the Warden/Warden Commander is that their story/stories is/are over.
They could go anywhere in DA3, do literally whatever they liked with it.
