The original Mass Effect may still be priming the DLC buffet for one or two more bites, but that isn’t stopping BioWare from slipping gamers a small dose of its sequel.
The trailer in question can be seen here, and – for those who are deathly afraid of even the remote possibility of a Rickroll and would rather not click that link – not-so-vaguely suggests that Commander Shepard (your main guy or gal in Mass Effect) suffered a quick and clean off-screen death. And a permanent one at that – not simply due to bad camera angles.
But, to be honest, we’re thinking the rumors of Shepard’s death have been greatly exaggerated, mostly because the only other tidbit BioWare’s dropped concerning 2Mass2Furious involves reusing save files from Mass Effect – probably for stat boosts, character profiles, and other such pieces of space bling. Otherwise, BioWare could’ve tossed in a few “So, how about that one guy who saved the universe that one time?” questions, ala Knights of the Old Republic 2, and called it a day.
So, what do you think?

At least at the end of KotOR they cleanly wrapped up the story line. The end of Mass Effect was a gigantic cliffhanger. I would bet money (not really) that you still play as Shepard, but the Council thinks that you were killed in action.

Some gameplay maybe, or even a screenshot? Way too much talking in Mass Effect anyway, I'll stick with Fallout 3.

Actually, it said "Commander Shephard: KIA."
And don't worry dude, they didn't spoil anything because he doesn't die in the original or the sequel. It's called dramatic effect.

Just picked up Mass Effect, been avoiding the new trailers for a reason, looks like you decided to give me the rundown (read: spoiler!!) in a headline on the front of this site ANYWAY.
