Some players may have to start fresh when they break open a copy of Mass Effect 3.
BioWare producer Casey Hudson explained to GameInformer that if the end sequences of your playthrough of Mass Effect 2 results in Commander Shepard dying, you may as well forget about keeping the save file around on your harddrive for when part three is released.

"Dead is dead. Mass Effect 3, as with the rest of the trilogy, is Shepard's story. If you have a dead Shepard at the end of Mass Effect 2, that saved game won't import into Mass Effect 3, Hudson explained.
"You can play Mass Effect 3 if you died in Mass Effect 2 of course, but you'll have to create a new Shepard. Harsh? Yes. But we wouldn't be serious about the concept of a suicide mission if you couldn't die and your death didn't have serious consequences."
No worries, BioWare. I'm sure most fans won't have a problem with replaying Mass Effect 2 again for the thirtieth time if need be.
