Do most of you really think Shepard will be in ME:A?

Mass Effect: Andromeda "can be good" even without the original trilogy's main character, director says.

[Cyonan]

People were doubting that a Mass Effect game could be good without the Normandy's least interesting character?

[Ahglock]

Yeah. And I'm glad.

[themikefest]

Shepard will not be in Andromeda.

[Vespervin]

Shepard who?

[Xerxes52]

I thought this was common knowledge.

[CYRAX470]

I've no doubt it can be good without Shepard.

[ModernAcademic]

Thank God. Give me someone new.

[Steelcan]

My utter lack of faith in their ability to produce a decent storyline is not predicated on the absence of Shepard. 

[Broganisity]

I'm more concerned on the quality of storytelling or the absence thereof more than I am concerned on the quality of the multi-directional face-customizable protagonist of ambiguous origin or the absence thereof.

Well after Kirk, Spock and McCoy who gives a bleep about the rest of the crew.

Warp 11, great Star Trek themed band.

This exactly.

 

Why anyone would miss an avatar for player agency for its personality is beyond me, Shepard had hardly any inherent characterization that isn't coming from ingame decision the player made. Any new protagonist in ME:A is more or less exactly the same, just with a different name.

Though hopefully with more control for the player, and hopefully smarter.

Given what a dim witted emotional brick Shepard was, and whom lacked even the most basic of military knowledge, the only direction to go from him is up with the Andromeda PC.

[straykat]

I don't care about Shepard. I'm less open minded about leaving the Milky Way itself.

 

And that's reasonable. It's a galaxy, for heaven's sake. That it even came to this is just weird. It was one of the more down to earth sci-fi settings, that paid homage to real world movements like NASA... and yet it's more bombastic than Trek and Star Wars now. Even those couldn't depart from one galaxy (unless it was a funny Q episode or something). I thought the old setting was gonna be like.... humanity finally establishing a place in the galactic community. It was only like 30 years prior that they made first contact. And then... it's just all gone in an instant.

This.  So much this.

[Drone223]

Bioware is missing the point, people are more concerned with how Bioware is handling the franchise. Shepard has nothing to do with it since people have no problem playing a new character.

[Sylvius the Mad]

Getting away from Shepard is a good thing.

Hopefully they won't saddle us with a similarly limited protagonist.

[AtreiyaN7]

Shepard won't be starring in ME:A, which everyone ought to know and/or accept at this point.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Lacking basic military knowledge is kind of a Thing with video-game characters, especially ones that appear in military-themed games.

we both know the odds of that are rather slim

[Fidite Nemini]

I'd actually like to see how they would do a game with a predefined character, where all player decisions are limited by the characters personality. Less playing a character as much as you're playing the environment to influence how that character interacts with it.

[Lord Gunsmith 90]

I would really like to know something about the next protagonist, maybe they'll give us their name on  N7 day.
