Its official now.

Long interview with Bioware people, talking about ME2 (if you import a savegame from ME1 your game will have a different start, for one), Dragon Age, The Old Republic and so forth. Also some new footage in there.

awww...but I played the original ME on xbox.

Can't you still import saves then? With the consoles having a HD now, I mean.

And man, I can only imagine what the consequences of my choices must be. I sold state secrets to the press for hard cash, then threatened them, put that bastard ambassador Udina in charge instead of the noble captain Anderson, acted out any xenophobic tendendies and pretty much performed genocide over and over again. Yeah...gona be a brave new world.

Yup,

[quote]The Suicide Mission Concept

In Mass Effect 2, you (as Commander Shepard) are faced with what appears to be a suicide mission: taking a team into the heart of enemy territory where you shouldn’t have any chance of coming back alive. Your survival therefore is based on how well you’ve built a team – who you recruited, how well-equipped they are, and whether they’re loyal to you. Loyalty (and the things you’ll do to earn it) is a central part of the game, and it is critical to Shepard surviving the final mission.

Paragon / Renegade decisions affect a lot of things in the game - and will affect which how the game ends - but they are completely separate from your character’s readiness to survive the final mission.

When we say that Shepard can die in Mass Effect 2, it’s not something that happens at points in the middle of the game. Yes, you can “dieâ€

I'm getting the feeling that ME is like a huge test project for the SW game.
