In Response To: *SPOILERS* (Urban Reflex)


: Just WOW. Really impressed. Have no idea where they're going with this. If
: Shepherd is dead then are we taking control of a new character? What would
: be the point in that after building him up so well? Or maybe it's a cover
: story. Or a plot device, the game is played in flashback? I don't know.
: But knowing Bioware it's going to be special.

If Shepard actually is dead, then you're probably playing as a part of the party, or at least will have a great deal of contact with the party. The article linked at the bottom explains why I think this, but for those of a tl;dr persuasion, I'll quote the meaty bits.

' The implications of these systems become even more important because the choices players make while playing Mass Effect have been tracked, said Karpyshyn. That data will be incorporated when gamers play Mass Effect 2, already well into production at BioWare.

“All that data is stored in a way that we can grab it,” said Karypyshyn. “We can bring characters back, assuming they are still alive because you might have killed them off.”

Depending on a player's choices in the first game, explained Hudson, some civilizations in Mass Effect 2 may be different for each individual, “but I think the more important changes are the personal ones where maybe halfway through the next game you'll realize – on a very intimate and personal level – that a choice you made in the first game affected somebody in the second game.” '
