I play very few campaign titles from start to finish. The mass effect trilogy kept me comfortable in Afghanistan through my deployment there.

I loved the games from start to finish with the exception of mass effect 3 ending. I know a point brought up is it’s up to us to write the ending in our own heads, but if I wanted that I would write books. I don’t plan to play another mass effect game unless Shepards story is finished with a deserving ending fit for a hero (someone I built over 100+hours of play). You may think oh here is a kid complaining, I am not alone(majority agree with me, a poll showed in 55000 people 91% want a better ending, 6% ending fine just want team ending, 3% good).

I ask that you add him to another game considering the grandpa grandson white planet scene.

I can list quotes that your team said about how all I did matters in the ending…….yet no matter what, Blue, Green, Red.

Promises of how characters we invested in would come to resolution.

Promises it would have more ending options than ME2.

What you need to understand is if that's how your gonna end your games why should i trust you.

Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.

If this is just a ploy to build tension to say “tricked ya Shepard is in ME4” then disregard,

Otherwise please respond.

I agree. For me, continuity from one game to the next is the whole point of Mass Effect. This move to Andromeda with an entirely different cast seems like change for change's sake.

As I said in my post I lost trust for the game, what if Andromeda ends this way. Thanks for support i hope to get a bunch of it and then Bioware can see their error.

I don't know. As anyone who played the whole trilogy with the same character, I LOVE my Shepard to no end. And, obviously, I wanted her epic story to have a proper closure. As much as I reject any of the 3 available ends proposed as the end of MY story (for reasons that all of us know perfectly well), I don't think I would like to have another game just for it. I want a proper end, not a whole new chapter that might be even bigger than the ones that came before (if DA:I means anything).

 

I prefer the notion of a new trilogy focused on a new character that I can love as much as Shepard. I don't think changing the main character feels like change just for the sake of changing, but I think bringing Shepard back would feel like doing it just for the sake of it.

Ah, Jonathon. It has been fought already. Hard fought. Back in 2012...and for a long while. Things were pretty awful.

 

But BW has...other ideas now, as far as we know.

 

Sorry, Man.

[Eleonora]

You're certainly not the only one who thinks that way Jonathon, as we all love Shepard and (at least for me) it was hard seeing his/her story come to a close like that. Though I must say, I'm not completely unsatisfied with the endings and they're somewhat fitting even, but sad to watch.

 

But honestly, it's quite clear Bioware is never going to continue Shep's story as these endings pretty much made that impossible. The only solution to continuing his/her story is retconning the whole ending, which really isn't going to happen.

 

Shepard was an amazing character, but Mass Effect is much more than just one (recurring) character. To me, the things that make Mass Effect unique are the atmosphere, gameplay and interesting characters. I'm willing to give Andromeda a chance if they can get those aspects right.

[jonathon.jenkins]

There is a possibility that they see how much people want it to continue, and make another.

If this game bombs they will make Shepard again

[Monica21]

I don't want Shepard. His/her story is over. I'm ready for Bioware to tell a new story.

I think they are aware that some people want Shepard back. Since 3 years and counting. I'm glad they don't do it.

They said it even before the game was released, ME3 finishes Shepard's arc, this story is over.

 

It's a good thing we move forward, fresh start and all. New protagonist, new squad mates. Let Shepard rest.

[themikefest]

I would have no problem with Shepard being in another game. I've posted a few times over the last 2 years or so that I believe Shepard will be in the next game. The one after Andromeda.

 

I don't agree with going to another galaxy, but I accept it. It lets the ME team have a free-for-all when it comes to ideas for this next game without worrying about Shepard and the Milky Way.

 

If Shepard were to be in another game I wouldn't be surprised if the game sells well.  Bioware can write whatever they want.

 

I like for them to redo the trilogy. I have  a lot of ideas about that. Most likely, if Bioware were to bring Shepard back, it would be a sequel.

 

I won't lose any sleep if Shepard never comes back. I just like to have another game featuring Shepard.

 

If Andromeda sells poorly would it be enough to bring Shepard back? Don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if EA/Bioware have already thought about that. Time will tell. I believe Andromeda will do well

Ok doesn't make you right your one of 3% who think its good just they way it is.

what about the white planet grandpa grand son scene........hes not done, the question is do they give in and make another game to tell the untold story.

I've read quite a few interviews, and they mentioned a lot of times that Shepard's story is over.

And how could it continue anyway? The endings are so different, there's no way to move forward without stepping on some players' toes. Some people chose to let Shepard die with Control and Synthesis, some Shepards died because of low EMS Destroy, and yes, some live on, but it's just one of the possibilities.

They would need to make one ending canon to continue from there, and I'd like to think Bioware would respect each players' ending choice enough to not touch it.

[Monica21]

No, it means I'm not one of the "we" and I don't think that trying to speak for everyone is good.

[Vanilka]

I hear you. My Shepard is very special to me, as well. I don't think any character I've played has ever grown on me this much. Actually, this whole franchise hit me really hard.

 

With all that said, given that Shepard dies in most of the endings, I don't believe they will bring them back. They would have to disregard/retcon/remake the endings or something. They also did say that this is the end of Shepard's story. Plus, MEA is supposedly many years in the future. For all we know, those of Shepards that survived the ordeal might be dead of old age at that point. I'm sorry.

 

Personally, I don't like how the trilogy ended in the slightest, but I'm okay with this being the end of Shepard's story as presented by BW. Since my game ended the way it did, my Shepard needs some time to recover and deserves to enjoy some proper holiday more than anything. I'm sure she'll gladly leave exploring other galaxies to other people for now while she stays with her old crew and her significant other. I wouldn't want to see them separated, either. I've found peace in knowing my Shepard's fate is in my hands now, I guess.

 

I do understand wanting proper in-game closure, though.

Your argument is invalid due to the fact Shepard has been brought back from the dead. So yes they could write another with any of the endings

I'm not there has been a huge outcry and you know it.

[themikefest]

To make a sequel all they have to do is say that the story the guy told the kid wasn't exactly what happened since he said the details have changed over time. I bet the one who told him the story was different from the story told to the kid. The other thing is Bioware can write whatever they want. If they want to bring Shepard back, they will. If they don't, they won't

Shepard has died and come back to life through harvesting his DNA, It is very possible to bring him back.

I think the will revisit Shepard.

Indeed. There's no arguing about that. They could make a prequel, too - for example, a story about Shepard becoming an N7, their role in the Skyllian Blitz, or whatever. The possibilities are always there with enough creativity. It all depends on BW and whether they'd find it worthy of making.

 

Personally, while I wouldn't complain about getting more Shepard, I don't really expect to see any more of them. I find it highly unlikely. I'm not so sure they'd dare to backpedal on the endings now. As far as I remember, they were pretty adamant about defending their... artistic integrity.

 

I do agree that BW can basically do whatever, though. We know nothing.

[Eleonora]

They'd never try the "brought back from the dead"-thing twice.

 

Also, cloning has been done before in the citadel dlc, so that's passé as well.

 

 

I love Shepard, but trying to shoehorn them into a sequel this way just seems super cheap to me. Sure, BW can do whatever they want, but them reviving Shep like that seems very unlikely.

[Vanilka]

Yes, the franchise has established it as somewhat possible, I guess. As far as I remember, they actually managed to salvage Shepard's corpse for that and the brain was fairly intact. That is sadly not the case with the Control and Synthesis endings where Shepard's body got completely disintegrated. Another thing is that they'd probably have to have a really serious reason to spend a ton of resources to rebuild one marine. I know Shepard is a hero, legend, an icon, and an exceptional leader and fighter, but I don't think they'd go through all the pain just because they missed Shepard or something. Plus, damn, dying two times and being brought back to life can't be good for one's mental health. (Moreover, as Eleonora said, it would be quite repetitive and forced.)
 
It also depends on whether BW would be willing to anger the part of their fanbase that actually enjoyed the endings and the part of the fanbase that's already come to terms with the endings despite not liking them all that much. I know the poll shows the former to be a minority, but I'd lie if I said I knew what amount of expected backlash is big enough to be scary for a company that intends to profit from their work. (But, hey, if they survived the ME3 ending backlash, they're probably going to survive anything.)
 
I'm not really arguing, though. I honestly have no idea what the future has in store for Shepard, if anything. I'm only basing my opinions on what was said during various interviews and such. That's why I believe Shepard's fate is ours to write now and that we'll hear mentions of them in MEA at most.

[WildOrchid]

Let Shepard rest.

 

People are still going on about the warden and it will be the same case for Shepard. They will never let them rest.

who wants to play a game that has a bad ending what if ME:A has same style ending F that.

exactly that part of the fan abase the majority want it to continue. I'm not mad just frustrated in the ending and i don't want to fall victim to it again.
