This is just something I was thinking about, if enough time passes between ME2 and ME3 it is believable that Shepard either has a child or one of the LIs.  Well I guess the only possible way for it to happen would be either in a Jacob/Shepard or Jack/Shepard relationship.

It couldn't work between ME1 and ME2 with Shepard dying and because it wouldn't have been fair if male shepard has a child with Ashley and female shepard dies and so does her child.  But with ME3 and hopefully no dying in the time between games it can happen.

I actually thought this might be a possibility with the love interest from ME1 but then it would be unfair to those that romanced Kaiden.

Definitely not. If there's any children involved, it should be at the end of the game, and probably by player choice.

Remember that episode of FIrefly where Wash tells Zoey that it is a bad idea because of their line of work.



Wash was right and this is pretty much the exact same situation except with better medical facilities

Everything I see on this board is complaining that there are no hard choices in Mass Effect 2.  Add in a child and then a decision to kill either the child or the LI and bam you got a hard decision.

Though I assume that most of those complaints are from people who just like complaining.

[Collider]

That wouldn't work for people who had no LI.

[Zan51]

No. You don't bring kids into the world that is about to be destroyed by the Reapers, especially if you are Shepard, certainly if you are Fem Shepard!

[AdmiralCheez]

Oh, there were hard choices, all right (rewrite/blow up geth). But it's more fun to complain.



As for little blue Shepard spawn running around... save it for the fanfics.

[ElectronicFerret]

No.





Although I have thought about this before. The only way I could see it working:



At the very, VERY end of the game, maybe post-credits, either the LI or Shepard in a brief alone scene -- or maybe the LI looking at a picture if Shepard buys the big one -- and then resting one hand on their stomach with a little smile, in a Very Meaningful Gesture Open To Interpretation.



Maybe that scene could be triggered by some in-game decision -- maybe you talk about the possibility with your LI at some point and indicate you'd be open to the idea of lots of little blue child--ahem. Children. yes.



CARRY ON, CITIZENS

And the people that killed the Rachni queen don't get to see the rachni in ME3.  The whole series is built on the decisions you make.  And making the decision to have unprotected sex can lead to a child.(I say unprotected because I can't recall ever buying a condom for Shepard).

well it should end whit shepard haveing a kid

No and if it does happen Shepard is heading to Omega and isn't going to pay child support.

The Rachni Decision is required. Love interests are not required.

It may be a *beep* trying to get maternity leave when your job title is "Saviour of the galaxy". Plus, I'm not in this for my love of playing house. Romance in the face of certain death is awsome, having babies is not.

I'm sure Rupert must have some plastic wrap down in the mess hall.

No, I'd just like a hard decision that makes sense. Child makes no sense at this point in the story. At all.

so...no.

[AmyBA]

I for sure say no.

I really do not get the obsession with so many people so badly wanting Shep to have a child in the game... I see people begging for this everywhere. We are not playing The Sims.

People seem to think Shepard has to have a child in order to be fulfilled and satisfied in the end or something, or apparently their relationship with their LI is for nothing if they do not produce a child in the end.

What would having a child bring? Seriously, what would it add to the story? Nothing at all...

I like the character development that plays out when pursuing a love interest in the game, it opens up a lot about the characters involved. But having a kid? That would just be absolutely terrible.

Only way I would consider being ok with Shepard having a kid in anyway, is if maybe LONG AFTER Shep has retired/passed on, someone somewhere decides to clone Shep or make a test tube baby with Sheps genetics because of some crazy idea that Shep has something special and utterly unique about him/her and that doing so will make another strong hero in Sheps place that can save the galaxy from a new threat (pretty classic sci-fi trope.)

This way my Shep doesn't need to deal with the bearing and raising of that genetic offshoot and can focus on much more IMPORTANT things in her life time.

As much as I would like to see renegade interrupt parenting, I would have to say, Hell no. Play Fable if you want young'uns. It fits there.

[GodWood]

I doubt Jack could have children.

Did you not notice the extent of those surgical scars?

[JohnnyBeGood2]

children are welcome in ME5 or after, not before

^ Basically sums up how I feel about it.

[Gibb_Shepard]

It should be optional, and only take place in the epilogue. This i would be happy about.
