Yeah since im working with EA now, I get to hear things >.<
But it isn't all bad wait till E3 for the announcement for the game im working on, can't say anything of course :P
u sir r a bearer of bad news. but i guess the fruit of patience will be sweet. *wink* *wink* maybe u could give us a hint of what to expect.
One big major hint I will tell you though, Kaiden or Ashley becomes a squad member again, as does Liara.
Unfortunately for the Tali fans, she will not be a squad member this time around, but perhaps you finally see her face? Perhaps :P
As for one reason why it has been held back, two of the voice actors cannot be present during the time they are holding the recording sessions. From what I am told they are in other projects at the same time and Bioware need to wait till after they are done. They could use other actors, but they believe people want continuity rather than speed.
continuity and quality r definitely worth waiting for. no point in rushing in with a bugged game especially one that's such an anticipated finale.
