In her own words, EDI becomes alive only after Synthesis.

EDI tells Shepard she only now feels ''truly alive" because of his/her influence during their final talk during Priority Earth.

EDI tells Shepard she only now feels ''truly alive" because of his/her influence during their final talk during Priority Earth. 

There is no word "truly" but otherwise you're correct. If I were to assess her state though, I'd say that she's "more alive" after Synthesis. In their final talk EDI can't seem to grasp the concept of fear.

Yeah that's why synthesis is my favourite ending it literally brings everyone together in compete and utter peace and equality I really don't like the other endings especially destroy but that's just me.

I'd love the ability to choose the protagonists species, playing as them was the only thing I enjoyed about ME3's forced multiplayer. Even if they limit it to the three "main" races (Human, Turian, Asari) and exclude the likes of Krogan, Salarian and Quarian it would be vastly better than having only human.

 

Sadly,  I don't see it happening, just like how I really want it to be set after ME3 so that we can finally move away from that awful ending but doubt it will happen. I'm pretty sure they will just take the easiest route and go human only N7 protagonist and set during/before the ME series. Kinda sucks really.

 

Ultimately I just want them to feel more like my own character than Shepard did. By the end of the trilogy Shepard felt completely unaffected by any of the customization or choices I'd made throughout the three games.

What is it with people and putting down other races "sigh" of cause there was reason for the inquisitor to be something other than human. Frankly it's like asking why the inquisitor was female in case you're still wondering it's because human male's aren't the only thing that exists also there weren't just human's at the conclave. as for the next mass effect humans are not the only ones who can make a difference in the world no matter how much some of our species likes to believe it. I personally think they should leave humans out altogether in the next game that way their not wasting resources as a lot of people seem so worried about but that's just me.

I agree. I would love to see other species as PCs in the next ME, but I also don't just want to play as a human in Asari/Turian clothing as it were. My dwarf Inquisitor offered very little in the way of roleplaying moments or in general reactivity to me being a dwarf, I don't want to see that happen for a ME game. I don't want to choose to play as a Salarian (for example) only to see that my racial choice has practically zero experience on the narrative outside of cosmetic differences.

 

 

Unless we are going to get all of the reactivity and recognition that our characters got in DA:O (at least) I would much rather that BioWare focused on giving us deeper, richer roleplaying opportunities as a single PC race, than to dilute the overall content to give us shallow racial choice options. The only way that I can see this happening is for BioWare to either:

 

A. Drop the human protagonist - We all know this is never going to happen.

 

or

 

B. Give us a silent protagonist a la DAO/DA:A - I highly doubt BioWare is going to do that.

Look at my avatar, thats the next mass effect main character.

[KotorEffect3]

I like the idea of being able to pick what species we can play but it has to be implemented correctly.  If I am playing as a Krogan I want people to react to me as they would to any Krogan as opposed to how they would react to a Salarian or a human.  I could also go as strictly human again if that is what the story calls for.

[Andrew Lucas]

No for different species for the new protagonist.

Shepard was iconic for the gaming industry because he's a strong character, better than any of the PCs from the Dragon Age franchise. I take a strong and memorable PC over a race selector all day.

[Jiskathe kips]

I would to get some more back story of the N7 program..

Who get's in? who decides that. That kind of stuff sounds a good story

[PinkysPain]

Main character should be a trader and mercenary ... time to get away a bit from miliarism.

[Han Shot First]

The problem with a merchant captain (a.k.a. trader) is that he/she shouldn't be capable in combat. That is unless you go the Firefly/Serenity route and have the ship's captain be former military. I think that might be interesting, but some fans seem to want the character to have no connection to the military whatsoever. Whatever the protagonist's background is, it has to be something that makes their competence in battle not something that strains suspension of disbelief beyond the breaking point.

[NM_Che56]

I think it will be an N7 who's making a move.  S/he is going to work for A.R.K.C.O.N. on the Pathfinder Initiative.  

 

Scenarios:

 

The protagonist is being loaned out

 

1) as a sort of "plan B" in case this whole "reaper war" thing doesn't turn out in our favor; or,

2) to help lead an expedition team to find resources since the galaxy has depleted all of it's resources in rebuilding

The protagonist is said, by Bioware, to have some affiliation with N7.

BioWare: We don't want to do a Shepard 2.0

 

BioWare announces that the protagonist is associated with N7.

 

Because that's not like Shepard at all.

N7 is where the comparison ends.  We don't know in what capacity.  Shepard was more than just an N7.  Shepard became a Spectre. 
 
Also, Bioware said that the new protagonist is quite skilled and capable of surviving, but hasn't reached the legendary status of Shepard, even at the start of the trilogy. The story is about that person gradually becoming a hero.

Two characters can share the same profession or background and yet be very different. A good example of that is the Star Trek universe. Picard & Kirk are both Starfleet captains in command of ships named Enterprise, but beyond that they are very different characters.

[MrMrPendragon]

I don't need the race option. I'm perfectly fine playing human again. I feel like there's a "universality" feel when there can only be one Shepard - male or female.

 

Whoever the protagonist is going to be, I hope we get to use swords like the N7 Slayer Vanguards or N7 Shadows in ME3 multiplayer. Those are so badass.

They're different, but most of that difference seems like if it was an RPG it would be accounted for by player choice. I don't think they're much more different than different Shepards can be.

[TheJester000]

Unfortunately, the next protag is going to be nothing more than a total Shepard knockoff. There is just no way of doing another human N7 without it feeling like a cheap alternative. The only way to keep it interesting would be to make it an alien protagonist, and I'm not suggesting a race selector. They need to have a fixed race they can really build the story off of and really go in depth with. Of course we're not getting this though, so prepare for wannabe Shepard 2 and another boring story about how humans should save/rule the galaxy..... yeah.

There is still a great deal of similarity between them because of that role. If it was an rpg with a sequel and you played Kirk in one and Picard in the second, I think it would feel like a very similar character.

[Tex]

Well that's done it preorder cancelled "sigh" I've played humans to death I want no part of (human N7 Shepard 2.0) that being said I did enjoy playing femShep she was fun but there's only so many times I can play before it gets too repertory for me oh well.

[Heimdall]

At the end of the day, species options would make the new protagonist more appealing to me, but I don't need them and I don't consider them likely.

I'm more concerned by the N7 connection, since I don't want this to turn into another space marine story, but I'm hoping this one will turn out to be more like Star Trek, meaning the mission will be more one of exploration rather than strictly military in nature.
