It shouldn't be that surprising. A very good example of this is the Warden of Dragon Age: Origins.

 

The Warden is arguably the blankest slate of the lot. Shepard in some form always has some kind of personality by the end of the trilogy, but the Warden doesn't even have an actual voice. We as the player must fill even that in with our own imagination. Yet despite the Warden essentially being a plank for us to imprint ourselves upon, people actually wanted this character to return to the sequel!

 

And the Warden didn't return for the sequel, but the series went on all the same (replaced by -- surprise, surprise -- another generic RPG protagonist!), just as Mass Effect can go on without Shepard ... no matter how much the "No Shepard, No Mass Effect!"-crowd insists otherwise.

That's not to say that Mass Effect can continue without Shepard. I for one would prefer that Shepard simply not be the protagonist anymore, because as much as I liked the character, I like the idea of creating an entirely new look for a completely different character and getting a whole new perspective more, on top of being able to be introduced to new companions without forcibly removing companions like ME2 did, which is why I'm glad Dragon Age doesn't tie itself down to a single character either.

[Eryri]

In answer to the OP's question, I would be far more likely to buy a game where Shepard returned, preferably as the protagonist. I'd be in no particular hurry to buy otherwise.

I wonder, as many people have stated that Shepard's story has been told, why is that the case?

Halo and Masterchief for instance, has been going on for longer than a trilogy, and it's still a very popular series.

There can always be a story to be told. Never doubt that. Here's an idea just off the top of my head: What if there was a new mass effect starring shepard that had him/her going to other galaxies to fight even greater enemies than the reapers?

That would be aweful. The Reapers were already kind of invincible. A*spulling even more powerful enemies and defeating them would be ridicioulus and basically scream: "We have no idea what to do with this Franchise anymore. Quick thorw in another threatening apocalypse for dramatic effect."

While it could be done in an entertaining way I'd rather prefer the MEU not to go down that road because most of the time it just ends up sucking.

Why not 1 girl 2 reapers?

The Good Wife had an episode called "Two Girls, One Code." If it was good enough for CBS....

We still have another day to go. And we can do it.

Ha. The common feeling here is one of resignation and not being surprised at all. We knew we were crap.

[Bardox9]

Personally, I was never upset about Shepard not being in the next game. He/She had a great run. I wouldn't have killed him/her (or even had that as a possibility), but it is what it is. Wonder if that Shepard VI will make an appearance?? That would be funny.

Oh, I'm sure it's gained sentience.

Which reminds me. What would become of that husk head from Leviathan, post-Synthesis?

I wonder...

Yet you guys had one of the best professional leagues in the world, on par with taking on La Liga, and capable of fighting the Brazilians. Then again, a lot of your brightest players came from somewhere else (looking at you Balotelli... even though your back with Milan...)

 

And we have Mousse. Don't know what rock that guy's been living under to not have heard of it. They serve it at The Cheesecake Factory.

The problem is we get promising players at 17/18 getting £50,000 a week contracts then spending the next few years playing in the reserves / on the bench and not developing at all.
Or worse, power and pace get valued over technique and intelligence; with more technically gifted foreign players filling that role (and often for a smaller transfer fee).

But hey, most exciting league in the world apparently..

[Mir Aven]

I find Shepard not returning in ME4 a plus, three games are enough. Despite that I'm not planning to buy the next ME, not after the disappointment that was ME3.

Unless they make ME4 look interesting enough to change my mind but that's unlikely.

Could you stay on topic please.
