Matt Helgeson,
Mass Effect, as in the first one? Have you not played it, yet? It is truly an awesome series, and I have to ask, "Have you fallen more into Renegade or Paragon?"
I believe this game is going to bigger than people expect. They have an awseome crew working on it and it has an amazing story line.
Interests:Altair,Ezio,Assassin's Creed games Dislikes:Idk Current Favorite Games:Assassin's Creed games Ideas for AC3:Bring back the Sword of Altair,a weapon similar to the Metal Cetus in AC2,bring the Syrian Sabre too,and other saber weapons,I heard of a special unit in the British Army called "Dragoons" so add them into the game as Brutes,please add the smoke bombs into AC3,and also add dogs you can train to killBritish soldiers.
If you like my ideas,please submit my ideas to the creator of Assassin's Creed III so I can see my ideas because it would make it better and more entertaining for the gamers,plus the ideas for adding sabres and the Sword of Altair,and the Dragoons as Brutes would be nice because the sabres could a reward for assinating an important British official and Sword of Altair as the last reward,plus the reasons for adding the Dragoons as Brutes would be fun because youcould get to assinate Clinton Addicts,a high ranking Dragoon,plus when you kill him,and you get his saber as a reward for killing him,plus Dragoons were calvary units so that would be new seeing a Brute on horseback,and please submit these ideas to the creator of Assassin's Creed III so you can see them make the game more entertaining.
"Dislikes: The Hunger Games (The Book Wasn’t Terrible, But I Don’t Understand The Hype), The Way People Are Reacting To Mass Effect’s Ending (Go Make Your Own Ending Out Of LEGOs Or Something)" <--- LOL. I haven't watched the movie, and it looks interesting, but I was never really into the fandom that much :/. I need to watch Battle Royale. "Make your own ending out of LEGOs", or fanfic it, lol.
