ow thats weak, very very weak. Lets do this in laymans terms so you might possibly understand it. How do i explain this to you hmm.
You Want To Implant A New Person Into History Who Does Nothing At All.
Because that is the only way your going to play a person who isnt within the codex or a covered char without them being covered already.
And a fresh start requires nothing old within, so jog on.
I never said we should play as a "nobody" who does "nothing at all". You act as if the codex and novels cover every hero that has ever existed in the 30 years between the First Contact War and the Shepard Trilogy. But the fact is, they havent. Plain and simple.
I'm well aware of what a fresh start is. It's a new protagonist. A new cast of characters. A new villain. A new adventure.
And as far as fresh starts go, you should probably get used to it. Bioware has already stated that they're done with Shepard and the next protagonist will be different. Specifically, he wont be "Shepard 2.0"
I am not acting as if every hero has been covered between then and now, but the major ones have and so have the major events. We know this is going tobe a trilogy, we know that shepard isnt in it, we know they arnt going tobe militery, Thats all we know.
We dont know if its future or past, if its not militery and we are going along the lines of the fact this is a shooter based game we can deduce that its going to be a merc or villain, possibly something along the lines of c-sec. But that doesnt mean they stay as such does it.
We know they dont want to impact within shepards story because they would suggest shepards involvment either by hook or crook so that removes all the time from eden prime right to the end of ME3, possible even before edan prime so that could be 10-15 years as no one is quite sure how old shep actualy is.
Now that cuts alot of time into the section of time you are refering too, But as its not militery we can cut out cerberus and anderson/seran as cerberus were originaly an alliance black ops and anderson was the original 1st human spectre sort of but was always alliance. it also cuts out the STG and the turian militery and any spectre we know or dont know about.
If we go further back then that and humans arnt around does that stop the MEU being the MEU. You see we could go back to the prometheans but then would that be the MEU and also knowing the fact of what happens in that time does it ruin the game.
We could be a theif type player like kasumi but how much can we get away with without sending ripples in the water which conflict with pre set down canon. Its not that i dont like prequels, its just within this sense with the limitations they have set upon the next mass effect trilogy how can they possibly create a trilogy, have it not impact upon whats already set down and still give us a justifiably great game compared to this trilogy.
And because of those reasons i can only see the logical answer as forwards, where the MEU is still viable as we know it now, where shepard cannot conflict with anything we do and where the writers can unleash an amazing story with no fear of having to check, double check and triple check it breaks nothing.
Because its quite easy to see point A, the point at which you concieve the idea of what you might want. but then how do you get to point B, and then point C without impacting. And thats just one part of the trilogy, they are going to have to sqwese 3 games into this. How many years are they going to cover.
Whats the start goal, why are you doing it. what makes what you are doing worth it, whats the end goal. what impact will it have on everything around you, if its unknown is it really worth doing, if your skirting around the book knowledge then how do you stop your self getting spoilers.
That said the conflict still remains of the endings and there being no canon ending for 3.
