DISCLAIMER: This is not about ME3, but an entirely new game set in the ME universe, assuming that there will be one.

Me, personally, I would like a character that was more casual (and less military) then Shepard, for I feel that he/she was too serious. I guess I'm more into laid back characters.

It could also go the DAO route and allow us to play as different races (IN THAT PART ONLY).

What kind of protagonist do you want?


Discuss.

Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly/Serenity fame.

I'd like to play as Rael'Zorah (before he died). I think that would make an interesting game.

Michael Jordan in "Space Jam". Not Michael Jordan in anything else.... NO! Michael Jordan in "Space Jam".

[naledgeborn]

Remember that part at then end where he stretched his arm like 10 feet..... nevermind.

Isn't Shepard already the Michael Jordan of Mass Effect?

[JPanzerj]

Commander Bailey. He's Duke Nukem...IN SPACE!

[Ramirez Wolfen]

Or Conrad Verner. He's the man on the EDGE! He's got nothing to LOSE!

[Tarek]

I would play me as a young explorer that buys a small trading frigate on earth and sets out to have the adventure of a life time in space XD

it would be like a sand box type of game with more options *dreams*

Pfffft.... He wishes.

Sure Shep could save and entire galaxy, kill a race that nobody could even reach, and do it all while still charming the pants of the ladies. But could he drop 69 points against the Celtics.....

Wait.... Maybe.....

Don't know why but I'd love to see something like Fahrenheit in the mass effect universe.

Man that was a great game!

[UndercoverDoctor]

Something like Firefly.

[Ramirez Wolfen]

Maybe there could be a crossover and somehow Master Chief is in the ME universe?

[Fat Headed Wolf]

No! I got it. I want the next character to be a mixture of Michael Jordan from "Space Jam", "The Most Interesting Man in The World" from the Dos Equis commercials, and Carlton from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".

Most Epically funny game EVER.

Even a character who was more badass and serious than Shepard (don't know how that's possible) would be okay with me. Also, i would like to choose between different voices, not just have only one voice for each gender.

LOLOL Where's your idea? LOLOL

Joe the janitor on the citadel. When Sovereign and the heretics attacked the Citadel the only Volus brave enough takes it upon himself to save the confused and dismayed lives aboard the station.With his intimate knowledge of the ship's ducts, and his various cleaning supplies he's ready to take on any Geth!

Ah but a man can dream...

[Synobal]

I'd like to play an salarian STG member myself.

It's a joke, don't get so frustrated, geez.

Okay, my idea. Hmm...

Well, you can't just have any protagonist. You can't just throw in a guy with some history, great characters, exploration and a mission to make it as epic as Shepard.

What we need for a new Mass Effect game is, well obviously something new. We need a completely new and better protagonist than Shepard (not possible), or atleast someone that can get you interested. Protagonists lead your story. Without a strong, memorable, goal-driven protagonist, your story will likely be in trouble.With one, though, your story is on its way to engaging your audience. And to make a good protagonist, you need 5 things:

• Set him on a mission: There are plenty of stories, especially in contemporary times, where protagonists may mainly and talk and maybe make some observations here and there. But in general, a good protagonist is not just looking around or having a chat, he's pursuing a goal. This is the center of his being. What a protagonist wants is really who he is.As you create and develop your protagonist, have a clear, state-able goal and make as much of the character's existence as possible revolve around pursuing that goal. That's what he'll be fighting for.
• Come up with his modus operandi: It's also all about how he pursues those obstacles. Modus operandi is Law & Order speak for the way he operates. Characters are best revealed through how they deal with conflict. Do they punch the school bully in the face or do they run away in fright? As you develop your protagonist, how he pursues his goal is almost as important as what the goal is.
• Make him proactive: A protagonist must be proactive in almost all cases. You need to have him out there doing things whether it's finding clues, winning over his girlfriend, or learning how to use The Force. A story where the protagonist does nothing will often be slow or simply not effective.
• Make him multi-dimensional: When you develop your protagonist, give him flaws and good points. Avoid the temptation to make him Mr. Perfect. You may be surprised how much a character will increase in depth once he has some weaknesses.
• Make him remarkable: When you develop your protagonist, make him specific. Give him quirks and tastes and special talents, for example, a sense of humor.

[*]I like what you are saying, though.

I wanna play as a less "elite" individual in the mass effect universe. Not thé best soldier, but a normal person. A commoner, someone with a history, a drug addict or somethin else. Maybe someone who was sold as a slave. Something like that.
