There can still be multiple endings to Mass Effect 2 even if they only used one of the endings in the first game as canon.

I would rather see them stick with one of the first game's endings to keep playing through the second one consistent.

 

They've been pretty clear since the series was announced that each sequel would read the previous game's save file.  They want it to be a continuous story.  Wouldn't you find it a little jarring to find that all the time you spent in the first game making decisions was for naught, as they didn't matter and they weren't the 'correct' story path?

That said, it won't be the first sequel to read the first game's save file.  The Suffering: Ties that Bind did that, and parts of the game were changed (including the beginning) depending on the ending you got in the first game.  However, they still had a 'generic' opening (that didn't assume either extreme) that you could select if you wanted.

That's true, I was just looking at it from putting in the work to include characters that you wouldn't see the entire game until you replayed it with settings (or a save or something).

Even then, what about people new to the series? Will they have to answer some questions or something that selects which ending of the first game the player will be playing from?

Question 4: If the council were to be killed by a race of robot aliens, would you A) Make saving them your first priority even though you have the available firepower to repel the attack and save the whole universe from destruction? or B) Let them perish for the greater good of all the other races that live in the Galaxy that are about to be wiped out?
