Chris Hudson, the Bioware Project Lead, says that there are going to be over 1,000 story line variations in Mass Effect 3 based off of the previous games in the series. This confirms what we expected, Mass Effect 3 will allow players to continue story lines from the previous games. Unfortunately for the developers this makes things pretty difficult.

Chris said, "We plan out the larger plot points of the story from one game to the next, but it would be impossible to plan it all in advance.""More importantly," he continued, "we'd never be able to plan as many creative opportunities if we'd do it all up front. Instead, we record what a player has done in a play-through, and then we have all of those choices available that writers can refer to as they build storylines...

"Numerically, it's over 1,000 variables that we'll have access to for shaping the Mass Effect 3 experience for people who've played the previous games."

The interview can be found in PC Zone magazine.

On a side note, we've tagged Mass Effect 3 as a PC and Xbox 360 game based off it's predecessors. This in no way implies that BioWare has given us the final word on supported platforms. Thanks, have a nice day!
