BioWare revealed new plot points in Mass Effect 2.

Gamers will command their crew as Commander Shepard on a suicide mission in space. Players will strategically select each member of their squad, all of whom have a direct impact on the direction of the story and the squad’s chances for survival. Players will select from a motley cast of characters including the newly revealed ‘Grunt’ – a blood-hungry Krogan.

Dr. Ray Muzyka, GM and CEO BioWare, VP EA:

“The Mass Effect trilogy is an epic saga with consequences that will carry through from chapter to chapter. Building out a diverse and loyal party is one of the features that makes the Mass Effect series unique. The characters Commander Shepard recruits are not only pivotal to the storyline but essential to the players overall success.”
