Mass Effect 3 to feature missing ME2 missions

Players of Mass Effect 2 will be delight to know that they will be able to play the missing Citadel mission in Mass Effect 3.

The game’s lead writer, Mac Walters, said that developer BioWare originally planned to include more Citadel missions in Mass Effect 2, but change the direction of the game, leaving some missions to be cut from the final version.

“There was a Mass Effect 2 plot that was a kind of callback to the first Mass Effect that was going to be on the Citadel, and we cut it. But now it’s made a resurrection in Mass Effect 3, so I’m happy, but I can’t say what it is. That’s the nice thing about trilogies, sometimes you get a second chance,” he told OXM.

Mass Effect 2 also had multiple endings, something that Walters sees as a bit of a challenge for Mass Effect 3.

“The classic example is ‘Hey, let’s make the ending of Mass Effect 2 a suicide mission where all your henchmen can possibly die, and Shepard can even die!’ Oh right… and then we’re gonna do another game after that. What the hell are we gonna do with all those guys?”
