Mass Effect 2 video unveils 'Samara'

Another squad mate for Sheppard's roster
BioWare's revealed another of Mass Effect 2's squad mates, 'Samara'.

We've no idea what her back story is or why she likes decking people with blue magic, but we do know that Mass Effect 2 is in the shops on January 29 in Europe with a Collectors' Edition. And you'll probably buy it.

Not probably... I'll definately be buying this. Can't wait.

She looks like she's a Matriarch Asari, just like Liara's mother, Benezia. She should be quite powerful when she joins your team.

I'll be taking a day off work when this game arrives!

It's Shepards and Liara's daughter, from the future, if you bumped pelvis' in the last one. Just my theory.

Sadly after a recent server migration at work I do not yet have FlashPlayer software enabled on my user account, so I'll have to watch this video when I'm home.

I have the standard edition of "ME2" pre-ordered from Amazon yet they (sadly) do not carry a Collector's Edition. I've enquired at a local retail store where I bought the English CE version of "DA: Origins" and they expect to carry it, but can't confirm until it actually arrives (if it arrives that is). It has me of two minds as to stick with Amazon's discounted price or not. I reckon I'll end up canceling that pre-order and trust that the CE version will be on sale locally.

This should be, dare I say it, epic! Very Happy

"Bumped pelvis". I like that term! One flaw in your theory however, is that would mean she wouldn't turn up in the game if people chose to pelvis bump with Ashley.

A day? I'll be taking a week for ME2 and a week for Alan Wake Laughing .

Looks like the cutscenes in this game are going to be nothing short of epic. Very Happy

I wish I could, but I'm getting married next year so most of my holidays will be taken up by my honeymoon in Hawaii!

Congratulations! I'm reminded of one of the male elves' comments in the Alienage in Denerim in "Dragon Age: Origins" when you are getting married: "Enjoy the ball and chain!" Laughing

Will you be going to Honolulu or one of the other supposedly less "touristy" two of the three main islands? Hawaii was beautiful (though humid as one would expect,) when I was on a university choir trip there back in 2002

Cheers Stonecold and Flash. I'm gonna have to start fitting in my gaming sessions between 12 and 6am on weekends. Sad

I wish you - the both of you - a fun, happy and safe trip to and fro. Smile

As for the way you may now have to plan your gaming...Sounds like a prison sentence! RazzWink Ah, I like to think it's a good trade-off if it's with a well matched person.

It's all about striking the right balance really, make sure she gets to watch her programs and remembering to do things round the house and keep the romance alive!

Very easy to do with games such as MW2 and FIFA, but Mass Effect 2 and FF XIII will be another matter. Should come as no surprise that I'm looking for another HDTV!

Congrats man!...I will also be tying the knot in Liverpool on 30th of April next year....and likewise am now looking for a second HD Telly..
Me v You Round 2 on 1 Dec '09
Wonder why Jacob and Miranda haven't been "revealed" on that roster yet... Similarly Mordin the Salarian "Clint Eastwood" scientist... And I'm sure that the independent Geth, Legion will turn out to be a baddie that ends up siding with you... He *is* obsessed with Shepard by all accounts.

Yay! Less than 2 months to go!

no invites? being from liverpool myself i'd be happy to turn up and drink all your ale,only in the name of moral support for a fellow cvg'r of course. Laughing

joking aside,there's too many reveals for mass effect 2-i've seen enough and i'm going to ground. i want at least a semblance of mystery and the unexpected.

last weeks tali reveal was the final straw: i'd rather find out about me2 when i actually,y'know,have me2. maybe that's just me though.
ste hicky on 1 Dec '09
There's a Mass Effect 2 thread in the forum section btw for anyone who's interested in posting any interesting videos etc. that they've come across for the game.

I'll be doing that also, even though I suspect the best team members (Legion & Samara personally) have already been revealed. Hope not, but I won't be reading/viewing anything else, even Flash's Forum of Spoilers!
Black Mantis on 1 Dec '09
I wish I thought of that name.
flash501 on 1 Dec '09
For a minute there i though it said Samaras and i was all ready to cancel my pre-order. I sure as hell ain't buying a game with that lanky, long haired, Greek, Celtic loving bawbag as a main character. Luckily a second look cleared the matter up, cause that asshole wouldn't be seen dead in anything blue.
ensabahnur on 1 Dec '09
Laughing

C'mon the hoops.
flash501 on 1 Dec '09
I finally got to watch the video clip at home. It looks fantastic! Also, Samara actually looks hot, IMO! I think this is the first time I'm actually interested in having my character do "sexy time" with an Asari party member. Laughing
The_KFD_Case on 1 Dec '09
You sound like 'my friend' I was talking about the other day in the other Mass Effect thread. Laughing
flash501 on 1 Dec '09
Laughing Well bring 'im on out! The more the merrier! Tell him: I'm not afraid to stand up and be counted! hahaha Wink
The_KFD_Case on 1 Dec '09
