(I know we don't know anything about story or have any further details about our actual role in game. Just use your imagination)

 

(Also, forgive me if such topic already exists. But I guess it's under 200+ romance topics, so...)

 

We know the new protagonist will be an explorer. We will travel to new galaxy, visit new planets, meet new species... We will probably for the Alliance (or maybe Council), but the question is - what will be YOUR ultimate goal and who would you like to be in Andromeda?

 

Personally, I want my new protagonist to be something like Aria 2.00. While I will do my duty as N7, I want to eventually start my own little kingdom... no, empire! An empire on some uncharted planet! I want to have assassins, smugglers, mercenaries as my army! I want to blast enemy's head with my shotgun and crush them with my biotic! I want to get females, get males, get transsexuals, get hermaphrodites, get Asari, get sex, get ultimate satisfaction of being the most badass ****** son of the ****** in a whole universe!

 

So? What about you? Gang lord, conquistador, captain Kirk/Picard? Something different?

I would prefer the protagonist and the pathfinder initiative to be part of an organization that is led by by multiple different species and not the alliance. I grew to dislike the alliance and humans over the course of the trilogy and I hope ME:A will focus on a multi-species operation and crew that consists of specialists from all kinds of fields - not just military personnel. I want the option for my protagonist to not be part of the military or particularly combat experienced and have a background like "xenobiologist/archeologist/geologist" or another maybe more techy supportive profession available.

 

What I would also like - but probably won't get - is to not be in charge of the ship. You're always the leader in this sort of game and I would like to get a different perspective for once and play as a regular crew member who's not above their squadmembers in rank, experience or specialness. Maybe you become second-in-command due to certain circumstances (so you have a limited say in things) or there is an option to candidate for the captain's position after they died and you can choose whether to put yourself forth or support another crew member - in any case I would at least want the option to not play a capable leader but maybe someone who's just not up to the task and knows it.

 

The N7 guy from the trailer gave me hope that maybe he'll be our leader, at least for a certain portion of the game, and we're not the boss from the get go, but even if that's the case I don't expect us to stay a regular crew member for very long.

I'd love to see one of the Mass Effect games having a pirate as a protagonist. That would probably be my wish for the Mass Effect game that comes after Andromeda.

 

A pirate would be a poor fit however for Andromeda, where the mission is going to revolve around colonization and finding new homes for space refugees.  On that note I wouldn't mind another military protagonist for this game. It might even make more sense than some of the alternatives.

 

The plot should dictate what sort of background the protagonist has.

Quintessential Paragon with a hard edge. Exploring the Andromeda Galaxy for the betterment of humanity and all other species. Coming in peace, shooting to kill.

I'd actually like it. It would be refreshing from "Mr/Miss awesome and soldiar in everything" Shepard.

- Nice galaxy you have here, it would be a shame if someone... conquered it.

On a serious note, Bioware will probably give us another Mary Sue, which will be running around doing stuff for greater good with choice of punching/hugging aliens in process.

Still I'd like some more radical fun. Conquering worlds of local savages, modifiying yourself with Remnant technologies, ordering asari dancers for recreation hall. Everything for the glory of God-Shepherd!

I agree on the idea of having a character who's not first in command, but has to report to someone and then your relationship with your commander can change the possible outcomes of the missions or the kind of (secondary) missions you can get.

 

Obviously, I would like to have the possibility to play a real Renegade character, with whom I can make evil decisions. And then I think it would be good to have some crew members who can be more a crew with different abilities not only on the battlefield but that could help with techs, understanding and communicating with new cultures. I would also like to see companions who can change the outcome of a mission, like it happened with HK-47 in KotOR in the Tusken camp.

I'd like to be able to have 'my' character actually be my character. 

[Cyonan]

I would ideally hope for a bit more of a blank slate than Shep was, allowing me to actually make it my character.

 

Realistically I'm hoping for more than just "Paragon protagonist" and "Renegade protagonist" as available choices for personality. I doubt it will happen, but a part of me is hoping they drop the Paragon/Renegade morality system as it's a little too black and white and forces you to go all out on one route if you want to make all the interrupts.

The problem there though is that if progress through the game is achieved by making hordes of baddies dead with your space guns, that protagonist is even more of a Mary Sue / Marty Stu than Shepard was. 

 

Because you'd then have the nerdy academic rivaling N7 commandos for combat badassery. Shepard's skillset at least made some sense considering his/her profession.

 

I'd be interested in a science protagonist but only if the gameplay was more about solving problems with that character's brain than killing things with guns. But I suspect that isn't what people are asking for when they say they'd like the protagonist to be a scientist this time around.

[EmissaryofLies]

A free one.

 

I want to go where I want to go, do what I want to do, and execute foes with extreme prejudice. I do not wish to be a puppet.

 

I want to be Ultron.

If the character is a scientist with militar training like Mordin was, why not? Is not being a Mary Sue. Nowhere is written she must be the better on the battlefield, just good enought to survive and bring back result. Of course, with this kind of background, military characters and probably politician would not be very propense to listen to her like with Shepard, who was already a war hero before the game started.

 

I'd like something different from the stricht soldiar background Shep had. If the new character don't have all the numbers right from the start like Shepard (basically a Spectre after the mission/tutorial) but start with just commanding a little team or even better, as a simple subordinate, would be great.

 

Than there are differences between gameplay mechanics and character. The combat is in the hands of the players, as long as there is an explanation on why the character know how to use weapons, how good she is depends on how good are the players. But outside, in the role play elements, having the chance to have more funny/nerdy/not so brilliant dialogue options would give a chance to roleplay a certain character that is not on the stricht Mary Sue land.

Not sure yet. My protagonist will adapt to the situations and environments he finds himself in.

As close to a flippant scoundrel as the game allows.

Exactly so woild I and most of my favourite characters in sci fi shows I have watched over the years has been the science nerd of the group tbh. So personally I'd enjoy playing something like that if the option was made available that is. Some of them were quite capable fighters as well. A good example of this was Jadzia Dax from Star Trek DS9 she was the chief science officer who was pretty handy with Klingon weapons for example so if it's written well it can be done in my opinion
