S1 - "Orbital Deployment, Reconnaissance, Infiltration, and Assault Forces" apparently?

I'm sure if you tweet a Dev they can confirm this?


So James Vega is "Heavy Ordnance (Missles, Nukes, etc.)"?

Aurora, interesting interpretation of friendly sparring between Ash and Shep. :) But I think Shepard cooler than Ash in close combat, because he is more massive.

Don't know when they going to have child. Maybe after 3 or 4 years after war? You know, woman should birth before she 30 years old, or then child will have problems with health, but this is future, so I don't know.

Ashley is a smaller target, no matter how much bulk Shepard had, Ash will always have an edge on him. Smaller frame = lighter and more agility.

Shepard's frame is lean, yes, and his reflexes might be near superhuman, but if he's trying to chase a small slippery target, he's gonna have a hard time catching them. Shepard can hit hard, but if he misses, then that does him little good.

In the ME series, women can wait til mid forties to have children, so it's unknown when Shepley would have their first child. Perhaps about five years or so after the war? When they've emotionally sorted out their experiences over the last three-five yeras and the galaxy is truly on the mend.

Ashley: Well, Sir ... may I speak freely?
Shepard: Sure. No need to be formal, Ash.
Ashley: Fine. Formal Lieutenant Commander gone - informal Ash here. *smiles* Skipper ... I know that may sound random, 'specially after all the stuff I said here on Mars, but ... I'm glad you're back. And if we make it through all that mess, I wonder if there's a future for us.
Shepard: Ash ... I lost you two years ago; I even lost myself. That's not going to happen again. If there's a future for us, I want to do everything to make it happen. I can't go through this without you.
Ashley: That's what I needed to hear, Shepard. Let's finish this job. Grab the Prothean Archives and make 'em pay.

Edwin Shepard and Ash have their first kid about 8-10 years after the end of Mass Effect 3, I figure.

Of course, that's just them. Not sure what it's like for Ash and other Shepards. Posted Image

Works fine enough for my Shepard(s) as well. My Shep needs to get over the horrors of war. He simply lost too many friends, died once and came back just to nearly die once more. And of course, he lost Ash in that time. Shepard saw too much to simply become a father right after the end of the war.

My Shepards will have a kid whenever their partners want to have one. Shepard's nothing short of mind-f*cked, and very fatigued from the way. He didn't look very well by the end of it and it'll take him a few years to shake that off. It'd take everyone a few years to deal with that.

There is a scenario I saw/read that I really liked: Some time after the war, Shepard and VS get married in a private ceremony. They were originally gonna elope, but a few people caught wind of it and after painful negotiation, the ceremony was kept private, but was to be recorded and plastered all over the extranet as a symbol of hope, new life and rebirth.

Well, he is N7 soldier, of course he is better in close combat, plus Spectre training, I think he is the best fighter on the Normandy, because N7 it's best of the bests. :)

Well, so then I think after 5 years when war ends.

Sure, he's trained to be a better fighter, but it means jack-squat if he can't hit a target. Ash probably is faster because her frame is smaller. Smaller/faster targets are harder to hit. But in terms of brute strength, especially post-Lazarus Shepard is hands down the stronger/more resiliant fighter.

Shepard is the best N7 of the generation, the only reason Kai Leng survived their first and second encounters was thanks to his constant retreats and a gunship blowing the place up. Shepard can easily kick that washout's ass.

And don't forget about reflexes. Even speed won't help. :) (especially soldier's with his adrenaline that slowing the time)
And he is the best Spectre. Looks like he is the best human warrior of his time. :)

Gotta both be awesome and suck to be Shepley's kid then. Both parents are SpecTRes, both saved life as they know it. One is this ultimate (would almost say 'perfect' when compared with Cerberus mooks) human-machine hybrid whose defied death and saved the galaxy at least three times. The other's a badass gunmaiden that'll drill you in the eyes at 100+ yards, helped at least two of those three times and has no problem keep the former in line....

Yeah. There's alot to measure up to. Sure, no one would wanna try and screw with them if they value the planet they live on, but the kid's gonna have a hell of a hard time growing up under all that pressure.

Bear in mind with different classes of Shepard available its possible for him to be not exactly the best "soldier" on the Normandy.

Shepard is not a supersoldier. He exists cos he's just too damn stubborn to die or give up. He's a legend cos he's a leader first and foremost.

That being said I roll with a Soldier Shepard...and a Sentinel.

@Aurora: The way I see it, at least one of Edwin Shepard and Ash's kids ends up kinda screwed up, partly from feeling like he could never measure up to his parents.

The others end up doing a range of things. Interestingly, only one has much of a career in the military. Another one goes into agriculture science, of all things! Ends up spending a few years advising the krogan on new growing techniques for Tuchanka, a fact that Wrex finds rather amusing.

EDIT: Also, this gives me an idea,

Wrex: I like the house, Shepard, but only four kids? Less than two dozen, and the galaxy will doubt your manhood.

Shepard: You heard him, honey. My reputation is on the line!

Ash: Uh... No. Just. No. Posted Image

No, Shepard is a soldier (of course, default class is soldier XD), he ended N7 program. And he is one of the bests.
But Shepard only one of many heroes of this war. He only brang forces. Heckett is hero as much as Shepard, because he commanded this fleets. And Anderson? He is a damn hero too! Leader of all resistance on Earth, what would be if not him?
This means, that Shepard is not only one savior of the Galaxy, he is one of many heroes.

"Shepard is one of the best soliders I known, if not the best. It's not because of his physical strengths, marksmen skills or high intellect, although they're undisputably the best of any marine I've ever met. It's because he's a leader. Because he's a beacon of hope, strength and authority. A man of vision.

Shepard speaks with such sincerity and diplomacy that people whom have known nothing but trechery and selfishness their whole lives start believe in him. They want to follow him and are willing to die for him. Some of them even fall in love with him, like I did. Shepard will never ask for anything that his subordinates are not willing to give, only for the best they can give.

It's kind ironic to think of it this way, but listening to Shepard's words? It's almost like an indoctrination in its own right."


Lieutenant Commander Ashley "Ash" Williams' thoughts on Shepard's leadership abilities.

(Yes, this is fan-made.)

Yea I could see their children having a few problems but they could also thrive under the pressure and end up having either a great politcal or military career themselves and continuing the legacy of the family name.

Whatever happens with Shepard and Ashley they are gonna be some darn good looking kids (I'm going by my default Shepard).
Plus two dozen kids from Ash?  If one child can completely change you I wonder what she'd look like after 24Posted Image

I wonder if the Reapers really stop being a problem if they're destroyed. Remember - they indoctrinated quite a few people, and even dead Reapers can indoctrinate. That would suggest to me that dead Reapers can also maintain their hold on the people they indoctrinate.

I think part of the reason that my head canon Ash and Shepard end up being recalled to active duty after about a year and a half is that, aside from the messes that have popped up on their own, there are still indoctrinated officials and such running aorund, creating problems. Sort of a "last revenge" on the part of the Reapers.

It also seems like there would be a lot of dead Reapers floating around in space and on planets like Earth. Best course of action would probably be to make sure the ones in space go into the nearest star. Not sure how to safely dispose of the ones that are on world.

Depending on just how the Cruicible shut them down, then lingering indoctrination effects might not be present. If nothing else, people would send the carcasses into stars or blackholes.

Shepard, Ash and all the rest would probably be present to watch it all go down. Hell, the first one that breaks to pieces in a blackhole would probably translate to champaign corks popping and cheers.

An indoctrinated victim has almost no will to live after the process is complete. So they're just have a bunch of mindless drones... so in terms of public servants and politicians, its no different than usual. :P Lol. Sorry. A joke.

Actually what I'm more concerned with are the leftover Reaper ground forces. Without a controlling influence, its most likely that they'll all go berserk and rampaging. It's worse than controlled forces because a rampaging feral creature is harder to put down, there's no structure to their attacks thus makes them unpredictable.

I also can't help but wonder how Reapers that are still outside of the galaxy are killed by the Crucible. I mean... the mass relays only exist within the galaxy.

It's possible that there are still Reapers in dark space! Although total Reaper numbers would be greatly diminished.

If there are Reapers in dark space (which is honestly where I thought the end of the game was gonna go) then it'll take them hundreds/thousands of years to set up their little scheme again. Long enough for everyone to restore their collective militaries/governments/planets and fight back.

But it'll take such a long time that it's no longer Shepard's problem because he would have lived out his already extended lifespan by then. Along with Ash and everyone else.
