I respectfully disagree. I feel that this should be it for Shepard live or die, (s)he has already done enough. I think any future Mass Effect games should have a new protaganist. After all, Shepard isn't the only soldier in the galaxy.
I'm with you. This has to be Shepard's last ride for a number of reasons.
Firstly, as you say, he's done enough.
Secondly, what possible challenge could be worthy of him after defeating the Reapers?
Thirdly (and possibly most importantly), This is what they (BW) told us. That this would be the end of Shepard's story.
Yet, when I got to the end what did I read? You can continue Shepard's story through DLC......blah blah.
No Bioware, just no!
Shepard should either die, or ride off into the sunset with his LI. And preferably, both options and a whole bunch of others in between. Don't keep dragging him out game after game, until he starts to look as ridiculously desperate for attention as Jean Claude van Damme. It's not a fitting end to his story. Don't do it!
"This is not the last you’ll hear of Commander Shepard." - Casey HudsonWe're faced with a lot of ambiguity and more than one conflicting statement from BioWare. That's frustrating.
I realized after the last comment I wrote (a kind of over-the-top, put-him-in-his-place response to the
Escapist article about Paul Taylor at Mode 7) that I was really angry again and I had to come up with a way to stop that. You folks may not have that problem, so don't take any of this as my presuming to suggest anything. Just telling you what's (sort of) working for me.
I shelled out the $2.99 Geoff Keighley is asking for his "The Final Hours of Mass Effect" app. (It's available for PC and Kindle now as well as the iPad, but I understand the Kindle version isn't full multimedia). I found the insight into the internal workings of BioWare and the decisions that gave us the ME3 ending to be very helpful in putting some pieces together. I won't detail any of that here, because at this point it's just speculation, and we don't need any more help to do that, but I found it felt healthier (for me; YMMV) to get more real context information and understand the BioWare team and team dynamics a bit better.
Hope that doesn't sound like a commercial. It isn't. I just found the app well worth the money in terms of what it gave me in return. That said, I'm in software development myself, so what I got from that inside look might be a "big freakin' deal" kind of thing for others. So, take all this with a big FWIW.
So, still holding the line, but in a bit more of a stealth mode for the moment.
