When would Femshep have been pregnant? And what if Manshep didn't romance anybody? This could only work if you romanced Ashley with Manshep, or Liara with either.

Well that covers how she could have gotten pregnant, but not when... He could have got her pregnant during ME1, in which case the baby was lost when the Collectors attacked and she 'died'. Or during ME3, in which case the baby was lost when she died.

Regardless, it's not a good idea. Better to just start fresh, imo.

. Your Shepard died.  How sad.

According to my headcanon, Shepard and Miranda find a way to overcome their infertility to conceive one child, a daughter, together.

She has the beauty, intelligence, and wit of her mother, and the spirit, compassion, and drive of her father.

I haven't decided what to call her yet. She does have her mother's Australian accent. 

That's fine. In one of my imagined futures, they'll have children made by the Lawson process, but raised with love, and adopt some of Miranda's clone sisters out of her father's labs.

But wouldn't you hate to see children out of another's headcanon manifest in your games? I say leave this to the imagination and avoid any family connection from future games' characters to past games' characters. *Especially* of Shepard and their possible LIs. 

[wright1978]

No progeny of Shep should appear in future games as far as i'm concerned.

[anillee]

I hope not.

I love Commander Shepard. Shepard is my favorite video game protagonist of all time, however the reason for that is because my Shepard is *my* Shepard, and she's also Team Dextro so it wouldn't be possible.

To those of who feel like their decisions in the Trilogy were somewhat ignored already, forcing a canonized default Shep would be rubbing salt in the wound, and subsequently, driving them away.

[SlottsMachine]

What the ****.

[Little Princess Peach]

I think it will work if it was firstly moredown the family tree say 15 generations or so then you could have diffrent races

well maybe a relative someone random saying yeah well my ansestor was shepard, and I followed in there footsteps, after hearins stories about him/her, don't forget we know hardly anything at all about shepards family for all we know he/she has cousins out there that could carry on the tree.

[kobayashi-maru]

For me no. Much prefer new character with selectable species. Going by ME3 epilogue timeline - granda/kid scene - would love cameo of old Grunt as Krogan leader and maybe Liara or her child (not Shep JR). Also have Yahg be there as new member of Citadel council - would love it if they turned out to be more Beast from X-men with glasses and love of knowledge than bigger Krogan like in ME2.

[M Hedonist]

Your fan fiction is awful.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Yes we will see this. It will be the enemy leader we will be fighting against. If you had a gay relationship or a L/D relationship it will be an adopted child. If you had a relationship with Liara it will be an Eclipse Merc leader. If you didn't have a relationship, Starboy cloned your body and you'll be fighting against Shepard. You'll be playing a new protagonist though (rats! I'd love to play this character!) Your goal is to kill it in the end. It has been smuggling Prothean tech to the Yahg and the horde is ready to be unleashed on the galaxy.

No, I would hate that. My Shepard isn't having any kids. I would hate to have Shepard canonized.

Well, for producing offspring for maleShep, it would have to be with either Ashley, Jack, Liara, Kelly or Allers.

For femShep, it would have to be with Liara, because I still don't believe that Shepard actually "lives" in the Destroy ending. BUT if Shepard truly is alive, then I'd include Kaiden too.

[Nykara]

We all know what Liara did if our Shepards mind melded with her wouldn't put it past her as a way to keep Shepard alive.

Oh great, playing as Shepard and Tali/Garrus' mutant lovechild 

Is adoption an option?

Oh please, when shepard said "I'm game" for trying to make a child, it was really just an excuse to bang.

She didn't do anything besides say farewell in a very intimate way. It is fairly obvious that the writers didn't intend for that scene to be anything more than how it is described by Liara.

Of course if a player wants Liara to get pregnant there, they can head canon whatever they like. But that isn't how the scene was written.

[Steelcan]

Just wait, it's going to be an Asari, either because Liara is the canon LI or because BioWare will write that in as an adopted child for all the other couples

[xAmilli0n]

Haven't read the thread just the title. Problem: What if Shep had no LI? Unless Liara did mind rape Shep, which has disturbing implications.

Sure this was already brought up, but I had the unstoppable urge to mention it.

[arial]

my Shepard is Asexual, so this could not happen

I dunno, based on comments from Liara earlier in the game about Asari procreation to my Shepard who wasn't even her LI. Followed up by that scene at the end I just kind of *expected* that might have been what happened there. Liara always seemed somewhat obsessed with Sheps survival in one way or another even when she wasn't romanced ( Kaidan all the way! ). She has done all kinds of things to go out of her way to keep Shepard going, I would just not put this past her, it would actually seem in character for Liara to me. As with many things in this game though it's all left up to interpretation by the players.

[thehomeworld]

If we did would this son/daughter be a hero too? Would we be playing as them?

I'm split on the matter because of the history we have with shep and his/her potential LIs

fshep

being she has half lez romances for ME3 means she's adopting at best so that doesn't help you feel like it's her actual child.

Only w/ Liara can she have a physical baby but then we've got the issue of if the player didn't romance her and she does the gift meld and now we've got an Asari daughter of sheps then shep was raped by deceit. If you romance her then you've got one of two senerios (A) the player wanted kids or be ( the player didn't want any sure that doesn't really matter if BW wants her to have kids they don't need to take into account did shep LI of Liara want or not want them? But then they'll be flames on the boards over, " I didn't want Liara to be my shep's baby momma!"

She can't have kids w/ Jacob because he's already having one with another woman, Can only adopt with Garrus and again like the lez romances the player feels like its not her actual kid therefore takes away some of the magic, She could have one with kaiden but then its the same issue with romanced Liara players who didn't want children will complain.


Mshep

He has more options for children but Jack as a mom? Sure she likes the school kids but considering how antisocial she was in ME2 does she really want to be a mom?

Miranda, Kaiden, Steve, Tali, again can't have kids adoption again and magic gone.

We have Yomen but as she wasn't a count romances would BW go ahead and say shep had kids with her?

Liara again controversy and outcry or you're all happy and gloating one or the other

It's not like BW didn't hint it enough by having several people during the end mission say that shep would make a great mom/father but considering the flame that can go with some romances and others who loose points for adoptions I don't think they should use/have/ or feature shep's child maybe we can have a company in ME4 called Shepard Steel and this steel company if one checks the codex will learn that it was started by the son/daughter of Shepard the Hero of the Galaxy or something.

[UberNoodleX]

I see some poor arguments against having a child of Shep as the playable character in ME4. Dragon Age Origins allowed for several races and origin stories. It's hardly a revolutionary idea in RPGs. Would take some work to acheive? Sure, but again, it's hardly a revolutionary idea.

Secondly, it doesn't matter if some players chose relationships which couldn't produce children, nor that some didn't have relationships at all. It doesn't matter if some players don't want their Shep to have kids. It's all about choices and options. See above. I saw the same complaints against gay relationships back before ME3 released.

Back then I thought the same in return: it's an option so don't do it. With a bit of role playing in your imagination you could justify your Shep experimenting or coming out of the closet or being bi, or whatever. You can justify why he might have a kid, even if he didn't want one. If the choice is there, you can choose something else.

SOmetimes it seems to me that people can be so hell bend on what they perceive to be character canon, they forget that role-playing is in the mind. There's nothing inherently wrong about the option of playing as a child or even grandchild of Shep, as long as it is done well and with respect to choice. Flat out rejections don't make sense in the context of a role playing game.

We should be behind the chance for more option and customisation and Bioware doing such things properly.
