If Shephard saves the whole galaxy he/she will become the center of galactic attention. That means for every person that thanks Shephard with their lives Shephard will still have enemies.

Grunt says it a good way after Suicide Mission by saying "If you destroy the most powerful enemies in the galaxy that leaves....us"

I bet no matter what Shephard does Millions even Billions will still die and for those surviving will want Shephard dead. Think of X-Men First class if you have seen it. They stop the person wanting total Armageddon and then everyone wants them dead and they try to kill the leaders in one swift strike. If Shephard musters all these armies and leads everyone to destroy the Reapers he will be the most powerful person in the galaxy. And people will use that fear they have a Shephard to want him dead.

I can see Shephard having to maybe cut all ties with everyone he knows and go into hiding with his/her love interest maybe. But where could he hide? The moment he/she wins he will be followed and tracked by everyone. Even in the happiest of endings I dont see Shephards story ending well...

The Alliance, Cerberus if still around, will all want Shephard dead to get the galaxy back to normal and without a savior as it was before.

How will Shepard be the most powerful person in the galaxy? The Devs have said that he will be an inspiration not a general.

[Alanosborn1991]

Insiprations for Generals can still be taken out of the picture once they are no longer needed.

I.E. help destroy the most powerful beings in the universe

I don't see how this makes a lot of sense

First of all, in x-men first class no one knows they they stopped mutant world take over, all they saw was people with super powers flying around and killing each other.

Second, Shepard isn't doing this alone, Shepard has to go around recruiting help in order to defeat the reapers, once the reapers are defeated and everyone goes their own ways Shepard simply becomes a hero who pulled everything together.

Sure it could go wrong, but it likely won't. Heck, maybe I'm missing something though.

Well, the more you rise, the more people want you to fall.

However, regardless if you kissed ass or said kiss my ass as Shepard, Shepard doesn't owe the Alliance, Council or Cerberus any gratitude. Maybe s/he does! "Thank you for jerking me around as I really didn't do this for you anyway!!"

If anybody wants Shep dead after saving the galaxy, why the hell did they ever bring him/her back? That'd be like TIM saying: "I brought you back to kill you!!" (Not that he didn't try)

Another example of this is why the person who shot and killed Osama bin laden can never be named or given credit. Or become the focus of the entire world with the Taliban wanting him dead and other world leaders.

[Welsh Inferno]

Yeah okay. I think everyone will be quite busy rebuilding their civilizations instead of going after shep.

[atheelogos]

OP your logic is flawed.

  Again, how is Shepard the most powerful.  If anything he would be a symbol of unity in the face of annihilation.  He commands no armies or fleets.  Shepard is only one skilled man or woman with powerful friends.

This example also doesn't fit at all.  Osama Bin Laden wasn't a threat to EVERYONE EVER and the guy wasn't famous before hand.  The reapers ARE a threat to everyone, in the past, present, and future, and Shepard is famous already.

  So only people who support the Reapers would want him dead.  That's hardly most of the galaxy.  I'd be surprised if it was any bit of the galaxy.

We don't know, but Shep may wanna kick some more ass before it's all over (after the Reapers) I don't think she'd have a problem with that -- neither would I!

[Alanosborn1991]

Thats the thing though as a Symbol Shephard is a human symbol and no matter what he/she does as best he/she can in saving the galaxy Shephard could still seem biased or racist towards other races of Aliens in the galaxy for not helping them more/less.

The Alliance may have to act in Galactic interests and take Shephard out of the equation after being the human who saved the galaxy.

If Shephard is so famous why dont more people recognize him? Why doesnt the Alliance contact Shephard more often then they did in ME1 after saving the galaxy from Sovereign?

[Welsh Inferno]

His NAME is known everywhere. The council/alliance/cerberus whatever arnt going to plaster posters everywhere around the galaxy. He's not a movie star.

Then that's just pure BS on there part. All three corporations just sat on there asses while I (Shepard) busted mine and they want to kill me? I don't f'n think so! As far the aliens, even if they do stab me in the back, I'm friends with some of them; therefore, it wouldn't be my call to go after them or not. (ie: Grunt decides if I should annihilate Krogan; Liara/Samara for Asari; Garrus for Turians, etc ...)

  That makes no sense at all.  Shepard will be the being who kept them all from annihilation.  They aren't going to kill him because he wasn't able to save more of them.  Do you think the entire galaxy is that absurdly petty?

It's called being in denial. You clearly see this in ME1 & 2. Shep beats both enemies and they still don't believe him/her. I wouldn't be surprised if they were shocked if a Reaper sat on top of them, only to insist that it doesn't exist. Wait! That is what happened! Anderson, TIM and all your squadmates know, but seem to be the only ones that care despite their own agendas.

It's still a legit question because look at how Cerberus has turned on him/her. Not that they were ever allies, but look at how Ash/Kaidan made Shep look like an ass for betraying the Alliance and the Council didn't act any better!

[Raiil]

While I don't think that it will be quite on the level OP is inferring, yes, there will probably be people who absolutely hate Shepard.

Maybe Shep chooses to save one planet over another, and they lost their family.
Maybe Shep has to detonate a weapon while there are innocents at the target.
Maybe their loved ones died on the attack on Sovereign/protecting the Citadel.
Maybe they're just really stupid.

Yes, it doesn't make any sense for people to hate Shepard under most circumstances, and maybe that's the point. Hate doesn't have to have a rationale. It just needs a target.

[Warkupo]

Maybe I'm the only one who noticed, but people are already trying to kill Shepard all the time. Pointing out that people might want to continue to try to kill him seems so obvious as to not be worth mentioning.

[Alanosborn1991]

Then how do you end a game where people want to kill you 24/7?

[Brand New]

Perhaps you have just discovered the sequel to Mass Effect?

Perhaps Sheapard is now on the run from the govermonts of the galaxy and while trying to escape or make a merc group with Garuss and stop crime.

By rolling the credits. They've done it twice now.
