only good thing about Pinnacle Station is if you need it the dlc is a great place to upgrage your shepard you can really mount up the upgrade points

on the Prothean Squad Member the thing I dont get is the only person who can talk with them unless they know the other races langues would be shepard as she has the understanding

I did read something from a fan about the line in me2 about us being so different right down to are genetic code that maybe they would say humans were somehow part prothean from some experiments they did on us on the mars base as that base was there way before we got into space I sort of liked that idea as it would explain way shepard has been so successful against them

on lvl 60 not sure I do know we keep are lvl from me2 so its not out of the question

If someone has translated Prothean Language, It can be downloaded to anyone's Omi Tool. Tali, Thane, etc... don't speak English they speak their native Language and Shepard's Omi Tool Translates it.

The Protheans are D****. They wanted to use us(All Current Races) and make us believe they were gods. Then they would have thrown us at the Reapers to fight their war. At one point The Prothean states all races are weak and have not evolved correctly(He does praise the asari a bit).

This content from a early draft of the script. The Prothean was pulled. It's possible he will be a Squad member now, Since he is not woven into the Main Story anymore. I personally would like another Another Race(Except for a Drell, I can't their Race) or Human Female(Sentinel Class).

--------------

Looked at more of the script, was trying keep away from it until after game is released. The words "No One & No Planet is truly Safe" come to mind. Many Planets will fall to the Reapers no matter what. Certain Characters will die no matter, Where Other can be Saved if you make the correct choices throughout the Series.

Did I mention I preordered mine back in June?

Mars:

Moving on, apparently Vega initially isn't too happy about just abandoning Earth. Also, before you've left the solar system, Hackett gets in touch and asks you to go to Mars. The research team studying the Prothean ruins (which if you'll recall, came up in the CDN) has gone silent, and they may have discovered something related to the Reapers. Once there, an incoming sandstorm threatens to cut off communications with the Normandy, and you run into Cerberus troops outside who are interested in the same info. Shortly thereafter, you run into Liara, who was apparently called in to consult. She tells you the info was about an anti-Reaper weapon that was never completed.

Then we get some details on combat there: in one encounter the Cerberus troops will run off and cut off your pursuit, forcing you to go around. Cover is more appropriate to the location: couches, overturned tables, etc. There's a running battle on a tram system, and you have to abandon your own at some point and jump on the Cerberus one. After that part, we get introduced to the shield-carrying Guardians. If you manage to shoot and kill one through the little vision-slit in the shield, you unlock the "Mail Slot" achievement/trophy.

At the end of the mission, you learn there's a reason they've been keeping the Cerberus troops covered up in promo material: apparently, husk-tech has been adapted by Cerberus and used on its soldiers, resulting in glowing eyes and disfigured faces. The writer had Kaidan alive, and notes that he reacts to this by asking if Shep knew anything about Cerberus doing stuff like this. I.e., complete trust is not yet there (please feel free to rage about this somewhere else).

You then get to chat with TIM via hologram, and he warns you to mind your own business. You can ask what he's up to and he'll say he's after "What I've always wanted." In this case, he's not looking for a way to simply destroy the Reapers, but to tame them for (what else) advancing the cause of human dominance. TIM also declares that Shep isn't needed anymore, and we catch a glimpse of someone else in the room with him. The writer asked Casey Hudson who this is, and didn't get an answer, but was told that Shepard was given "a clearer foil" in ME3. Kai Leng seems like the obvious candidate to me.

After that, you learn that Cerberus had one of its own on the research staff, a woman named Eva, and she's been using this time to grab the data and she starts transmitting it. There's a chase sequence and it turns out she's been cybernetically enhanced (and heavily so from the sound of it). You chase her and she makes it her shuttle, but Vega saves the day by smashing into it with some kind of vehicle (article doesn't specify). This has the side-effect of wrecking the comm gear she had on her. Unfortunately, it doesn't kill her, and she attacks Kaidan, nearly killing him. Shep takes her down for good, and it's off to the Citadel.

Sur'Kesh:

The writer just skips over it. Annoying. I'm positive he could have provided some new details.

Tuchanka:

This is the mission we've seen on the galaxy map footage called "The Shroud", and it's basically the sequel to the Sur'kesh one. Basically, your goal is to get the Genophage cure finished and distribute it. First off, the salarian government has learned about this, and has made an offer to Shep. What you get isn't clear (probably their support in the war), but they basically want you to fake distribution of the cure. The writer chose to not to take the deal. It not clear if you're also forced to tattle on the salarians if you decide to not go along, but that can happen.

Anyway, you get attacked, separating you from Mordin, Wrex, and the female, ending up in some catacombs that lead to the City of the Ancients. Once there, you run into an old painting of the uber-Thresher, which was apparently given the name "Kalros" (sure it means something suitably bad-ass in Old Krogan or whatever). You run into some Ravagers (the husked rachni) and some Marauders (the husked turians). Eventually, you make it to the Shroud: the giant glowy tower seen in the VGA trailer. Seems to be some sort of old weather-control device or something. In any case, you'll use it to distribute the Genophage cure into Tuchanka's atmosphere.

But as you know, there's a Reaper in the area. Mordin and Wrex come up with the idea of luring Kalros in, reasoning that it'll be just as unhappy about a Reaper on its turf as we are. The writer claims the thresher wins, though based on older information, it's only a temporary victory. Also, the Shroud has been badly damaged by this point and probably won't hold up for much longer. Mordin volunteers to go in alone and disperse the cure before it is too late.

The writer then explains that this is just one of a few outcomes to this mission, so I don't know if this death is inevitable. In fact, it's not clear that it's a death at all because he just stops his summary with Mordin volunteering.

Other:

There's a sidebar about the various game modes. RPG is of course your standard ME experience. Story is RPG with really easy combat. Action automates the dialogue. All old info. The new bit is that in Action mode, the game selects a mixture of Paragon and Renegade choices.
