If you’ve been following the Mass Effect retrospectives, you’re probably clued up on the events that have lead up to this point – and sufficiently spoiled of many of the plot twists and turns that have paved the way.<\/p>\n
But now the final chapter of Commander Shepard’s epic saga is mere hours away from arrival – and we take a spoiler-free look at what to expect.<\/p>\n
After the events in the Mass Effect 2 DLC “Arrival”, Shepard has returned to earth to stand trial for making a call that made the Batarians a little bit unhappy.<\/p>\n
Of course, there’s not much time for such trivial things, as the fated hour approaches, and the Reapers make their arrival – right there on Earth.<\/p>\n
Shepard is forced to flee so that he\/she can sound the call to alien alliances to fight back – but obviously things are never that easy; the galaxy is full of issues, and Shepard has to contend with those issues, Reapers, and even Cerberus.<\/p>\n
Mass Effect 3’s plot will be shaped heavily by your actions over the past 2 games, but BioWare have confirmed that this is the end for Shepard, one way or another – and marks his\/her last appearance in the series.<\/p>\n
