Or at least the PC can claim this, but other characters will be skeptical. Or, if Shepard had a non-human lover, or partook in no romance at all, can outright call them a liar. In a twist, especially if Shep's lover was human, it may actually be true.

You're wierd, Shepard BE.

That kinda gets me off. . .

What if Shepard was gay and didn't want children?

[Lady Artifice]

I have the strangest sense of deja vu.

This is quoted almost verbatum from the ME:A Wild Mass Guessing page on TV tropes.

What if Shepard was straight and didn't want children?

Better yet, what if Lazarus rendered Shepard infertile?

[Lady Artifice]

As often as this request has been made, I don't even begin to see the point. The only human female LI in the trilogy who we're led to believe might be interested in having children in any part of the immediately foreseeable future is barren. If Shepard was female, the other characters will basically know it's a lie. 

 

It only makes sense as a lie. A ridiculous, blatant, pointless lie. I can't really fathom the appeal.

Cloning is a thing right? Maybe we're the latest Shepard clone, and all the companions are as well.

Seriously though, this is extremely unlikely.  The only 2 LIs that could theoretically have human children w/ Shep are Ashley and Jack.  Not to mention that in Jack's case, it's entirely possible that the experiments preformed on her by Cerberus affected her ability to carry a child to term, or even her ability to conceive a child in the first place.

 

Maybe there could be a bit where you could claim to be Shep's descendant, but I highly doubt that it'll happen.

wow you people think you're so smart. your shepard was 29 years old, that means for 28 years, your shepard was Biowares shepard and could be gay, straight, bi and shag so many people we've never met. cerberus could have made other clones. the possibilities are endless.

Really don't get the desire of wanting the protag for ME:A or a character in ME:A to be the spawn of Shepard. Shepard already had a kid, a damn good kid too. Grunt. Shepard got a krogan tank baby that is all the child Shepard will ever need. Grunt for ME:A Protag!

 

I need to stop coming on here when i'm running on fumes.

I'm not talking about old fashioned pregnancy, that's for losers. Shep's DNA could have been extracted and stored in a lab, and they might have had test tube babies or clones of them made by some crazy scientists... with or without his/her knowledge.

[Han Shot First]

No.

You never know what that clone from Citadel could have gotten up to in the year before you found out it existed. Or if there were more clones. And now I feel like I'm talking about Star Wars.

But then they wouldn't be a descendant of Shepard, but a descendant of the clone of Shepard. Being the child of one identical twin doesn't mean you are the child of the other identical twin.

There's room for confusion or boasts with twisted truth to them.

[Helios969]

Sure and while were at it make this the descendant of Shepard and Tali...made possible by Shepard's super sperm imbued during the Lazarus Project which makes him capable of reproduction with any species.  Yeah, no.

Maybe the Illusive man got Cloned before he died?

Maybe it'll come back as a benevolent character.

[Killdren88]

Those among you who romanced Liara, Playing as an Asari isn't an option. So unless they wanted both Human and Asari children via adoption or the whole donor process highly unlikely.

yes it does.

 

Not defending the idea, but it does. It would be awful writing unworthy even of Blizzard tier shlock to have you just start in andromeda as a clone shepard child for no reason, but identical DNA is unsurprisingly identical.

[Han Shot First]

I doubt Bioware would have made as big of a deal out of Shepard not returning if the protagonist of Andromeda was a Shepardspawn. Also, as already pointed out...it would require canonizing a LI, and possibly a gender for Shepard in order to have their descendant as the protagonist. That's a route Bioware is never going to go.

 

Hero dynasties make some sense in a setting like Star Wars, where there is a class of superhumans (force users) who often inherit their abilities from parents, and where the Force has a will of its own, resulting in prophecies and chosen one heroes.  It does not make sense in Mass Effect, which compared to Star Wars leans much closer to hard Sci Fi than Fantasy. Shepard's descendants shouldn't be imbued with any special or magical traits that make them more likely to stand out from their peers.

 

The Mass Effect universe is a big place filled with trillions of people. I think there is more than enough room for heroes not named Shepard.
