Well I think being able to live and not become indoctrinated or being turned into a Collector like the Protheans were is a nice motive and reward.

Shepard gets a pick from among teh most extreme potential love interests in the galaxy.

[DPSSOC]

I don't know I think not death is sufficient motivation. Though you may be able to con a promotion out of the Alliance I don't see you prying so much as a thank you out of the Council.

[Tlazolteotl]

Pfft ... punching the turian councilor is a better reward than anything they can offer.

Actually if Shepard had some characterization, we'd know exactly what their motives would be.

[Dean_the_Young]

****.



After this, Shepard's never going to need his own apartment again.

[OverlordNexas]

Getting it on with sexy aliens.

While I agree that Shepard should be rewarded for services rendered, I do not beleive that he/she should be operating under the assumption.  I don't want a mercenary hero.

You'd rather an idealogue than a pragmatic hero?

Aint most hero's in game's merc's in some way? And whats wrong with merc's?

The reward for saving the lives of billions of people throughout the galaxy is better than any paycheck.

The path of which Shepard is on, be it paragon or renagade, is a selfless act of being a true hero. Not everyone needs a mansion and to be told how great they are on a daily basis.

Shepard is a based around a character who is doing this mission, simply because it is the right thing to do.

Not dieing tends to be a pretty good motivator.

[Abyss Vixen]

I'd like sherpard to take the Illusive mans job, sit around all day looking badass.

Yeah, actually.  I would rather that.

Mercenaries? What are...oh! You mean those people I kill by the dozen because they're paid to stand in my way, right?

Being a mercenary is a poor career decision in Mass Effect. Wrex moves on from the life, and Zaeed's so mercenary he's DLC.

What I'm pretty sure you mean is 'I'd like an idealogue who agrees with me.'

I'm fairly sure you wouldn't want the xenophobic human-nationalist pro-Cerberus idealogue I'm playing right now.

Saving the galaxy is enough.

Which is a problem because it leaves everything to the imagination (yes, this is a problem, because he's a protagonist in a game that emphasizes storytelling). Why does Shepard himself/herself believe it's the right thing to do? We as players can say why, but why the character?

Here's the thing: while it's a role-playing game where you decide how Shepard acts and behaves, there should be more options for the player to decide Shepard's thoughts and motivations (options that don't even need to be elaborate and all-encompassing; simply existing would be satisfactory for me at this point). There simply aren't enough of them, especially in the second game.

Flat, static character indeed.

Think of the endorsement deals you could get after saving the galaxy.

I'm commander Shepard and this is my favourite X in the galaxy.

[Blackbaron15]

Sheperds extreme determination make him march forward no matter how fierce the **** storm is getting.



If met these kinds of people before and feel that I was once one myself.

These kinds of people have no purpose anywhere else, they see every bad thing as a problem that instead of waiting for someone to do it they just say **** it and fix it. These are the kinds of people that have the guts and the balls to move forward when everyone else is retreating, These kinds of people have the mindset to believe that they can and will get the job done.



Instead of more people just ****ing about how the world needs help we need more people to just get out there and do what needs to be done!

Not wanting to get killed is an uncomplicated motivation common to almost all living things. Whether Shepard's doing it to save everybody or just as a selfish motivation to not be another person on the Reapers' list of slurpies or indoctrinated slaves, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know why somebody who has seen the truth about the Reapers firsthand would want to stop it.

[KOKitten]

 My Shepard's motive is pretty simple - he/she knows the truth about the Reapers and since the Council and, to a lesser extent the Alliance, isn't willing to recognize the real threat he/she feels it's up to him/her.

My Shepard will accept funding.  In ME1 Shepard was an Alliance soldier and it's not as if they work for free.  In ME2 my Shepard will accept funding from Cerberus, from wall safes found along the way, and from odd jobs, to make sure the squad has the best upgrades and equipment.
