He/she can, but you have to have virtually no upgrades to your ship and the loyalty of like none of your party members. Essentially, it's pretty hard for Shepard to die without you intentionally killing him/her by not doing anything.

well technically isn't mission failure or game over... what ever says. Shepard dies there :P

If your team all get killed on the final mission and there's no one to catch you when you jump for the ship, Shepard falls to his/her death, the game continues on though and there's no game over so you still technically beat it

Yeah, you still beat it, you just can't carry over your Shepard.

I can't help wishing there was a way to highlight text or make collapsible text boxes or SOMETHING to mark spoilers. Then we could discuss spoilers, and this thread would be a lot livelier.

You pretty much have to purposely screw up your quest to have Shepard die at the end. I'm not kidding.

How can you change the title of threads? This thing about Sony fans wasn't there from the beginning.

didn't he just make a new thread? haha

New thread. I don't know if even mods can change thread titles.

Ahhh.... Haha, that's funny.

Just finished up a run through on Insanity with a Adept keeping everyone alive and rescuing the crew. It wasn't actually as hard as i was expecting and would definately recommed using either an Adept or Sentinal for an insanity play through.  I found Warp to be by far the most versatile power in the game and leveled up was pretty effective against everything.
