The Mass Effect 2 Après Jeu Game Discussion Thread (with spoilers!!!)
KvP:
*SORTA SPOILERS AHEAD?!?*
So here's a thing I learned - in the most recent ME book, bridging the time between ME2 and ME3, Commander Anderson quits the council, joins up with the Turians and goes Rambo on Cerberus. Towards the end, he swears vendetta on all Cerberus, including Shepard, apparently.
So I don't know how or if this will only affect the renegade "canon" storyline but it's apparent that no matter what you chose in ME1 or ME2, Udina is Councilman in ME3.
Tom:
That seems silly.
SWOON! at My Gravitas:
I dunno if the ending from that book will be brought into ME3 though, I remember the premise of it was based around Cerberus getting their hands on Collector/Reaper technology because Shepard didn't destroy the Collector base.
So I guess maybe all that stuff happens only if you chose not to destroy it at the end of ME2? And destroying it would lead to a completely different situation at the start of ME3?
But then they would have to explain everything that happened between the two games at ME3's outset, for the benefit of those who didn't read their awful book series (or destroy the Collector base). Maybe they have a way of doing it that is much more clever than presenting a bunch of exposition? I don't know, but I think it would be simpler to keep the books and games separate.
LeeC:
*Spoiler without context*
If you save the collector base then are you still apart of Cerberus? 'cause I destroyed it and I know shepard and miranda are no longer apart of Cerberus. Hell the EM seemed so pissed that he would want to hunt me down.
KvP:
Yeah that's just one of the things (Anderson specifically calls out Shepard as Cerberus-aligned in the novel). It's weird because the canon ME1->ME2 canon plot has Udina as councilor, whereas the book bridging ME2->ME3 has Anderson as councilor.
In any event, the people who write Bio's official fiction (and most official fiction) are terrible, and their work should have as little affect as possible on the games and their developments. We can hope.
