note I'm not a gamming company law expert so i might be wrong but i know from doing a lot of work with the military and private company's and corporations that if Microsoft and Bioware at one time sit down and came up with a project (which they did) and decided they was going to make a RPG space game called Mass Effect and that game was to be a series and that series would be for Microsoft only, then by international law when EA bought Bioware up EA is bound by law to observe the contract if Microsoft can prove they had a binding contract with Bioware. so the idea that EA is a multi platform company there for EA can make Mass Effect for other platforms isn't quite so simple.

so i think the hole thing with the no XBox logo would probably mean EA has told Bioware not to put a logo on it cause EA is the one in negotiations with Microsoft to try and make it a multi platform game. now EA could say we own Bioware now so if you wont let us make it multi then we wont make one at all but since I'm assuming EA didn't dissolve the company called Bioware then Microsoft could pull out the contract again and say no there is still a Bioware and we was going to make 2 or 3 of these and its in the contract so ether dissolve Bioware or they have to make our game (for how ever many it was meant to be) then after that it could go multi.

so as long as i play it that's fine with me but i think people might fine whether you like Microsoft or not or Sony or Panasonic for that matter there are laws that protects Microsoft in this matter.

I really hope that Microsoft had a three-game exclusive contract with Bioware, but I don't know for sure it was that cut and dry.  What I AM sure of is that Microsoft didn't invest time and money into Mass Effect only to completely forget to secure rights of ANY kind to the second and third games.  They didn't get too be the world's largest software company through bad lawyering and negotiating.

The 2nd book also deals a lot with the Batarians, who were also in Bringing Down the Sky. Both have been hints they will be a bigger part of things going forward

I know huh?

But I worry that they are trying to keep the books very seperate from the game's storyline.

Still, I'm quite confident the Batarians, Cerberus and one or two other things will play a part in Mass Effect 2.

Well I fully believe that we will be taking the fight to earth, but I really hope that Shepherd is not "dead" for the whole game, I don't like the idea of being undercover for the whole game, that would remove the Normandy, which I really would not like.

I don't know about the details of the plot, I need to play the first game through again (about 5 more times)

Oh, and for many Shepherds, it will not be the first time they have visited earth, it will be a homecoming (I can't remember whether or not it will be my Shepherd's...)

You are beyond help.

Whatever you have to do to get past those first few hours, do it.
