Well Bioware already stated that he wasn't the Pc and yet he seems to be featured majorly in both the previous trailer as well as the new one. He also seems to have his own motives and agenda and seems to be somewhat of a commanding figure from what we've seen in the past trailers. 

Spoiler

 

So my question is what if he's actually more of an anti-hero than was thought initially? Especially this scene which made me think more about the alignment and motives of this character;

 

What if he and his companions are more of a renegade splinter group working separately to the main colonists from the MWG. Who have their own motives with a more radical approach to the core exploration group our hero is a part of. And are willing to kill anyone if they stand between the path to their goal. 

 

It would also be a nice change to the existing ME series with the hero being another spec ops military figure having to save the world when in fact here we're just another explorer trying to survive in a new galaxy. It could be that a conflict of ideals bring us against the rogue N7 who might be following a contradictory path, which I think would be a great premise for a villain!

 

Perhaps the main colonization group might be trying to establish peaceful relations with the indigenous alien population while the N7 and his allies might be more for a forceful colonization approach as seen from the earlier trailer. All speculations of course but what let me know what you guys think.

Another interesting theory to think on is: what if the guy who is getting dropped is actually the protagonist? The N7 dude turns out to be the antagonist, and even leaves us for dead at some point. Hmm...

Sounds a little cliche tbh.

 

But I don't think the krogan would follow the rogue N7.

[SolNebula]

Then my question would be....can we play as the N7 renegade pretty please? I grow tired of being the goody two shoes

[Fredward]

That leaked survey, which turned out to be correct about everything so far, mentions "the Remnant, whose forgotten technology holds the key to gaining power in this region of the galaxy." So I'm almost willing to bet he and protag are on two different sides of how these relics should be utilized.

Yes that might be possible as well but I think from the trailer the Pc is probably the character in the white armor who we see in the combat sections of the trailer or the girl at the end who wakes up which might just be fem Ryder. Also getting dropped off a ledge by a krogan is kind of an embarrassing way to go!

If anything I think the krogan would be more inclined to follow a rogue N7 than a by the book pacifist, assuming that's the case. Krogan value strength and power after all and a powerful and charismatic antagonist can very well have a lot of powerful allies.

It's likely that the man being dropped is not Ryder, though I am still rather suspicious about him. If you take a look at the trailer around the thirty second mark, you'll notice that the human in the centre by the panel bares a striking resemblance to the person being dropped in that image, despite the fact that we can only see the back of his head from a distance. Upon observation, their armour looks incredibly identical, as does the shape of their heads, ears, and their hairstyles.

 

While I'm not quite convinced that the victim is, in fact, Ryder, practically anything is possible at this point. More likely than anything, I'm probably overlooking this by a wide margin, but, still, the possibility is there, and it has me thinking.

Those scenes with the main being dropped (Face-Tattoo guy, because he has a tattoo on a cheek) were in a leaked dev reel a few months back. In it you can see the player party (Krogan + two human-like figures) help the Krogan capture Face-Tattoo guy.

 

We have seen N7 and maybe Face Tattoo-guy at the "helm" of the Tempest though. Either the ship get stolen, or the player character server under N7 at the beginning (in ME1, Shepard didn't start with the ship either).

[Ahriman]

 

Well Bioware already stated that he wasn't the Pc

I still don't take it as granted. In alpha leak N7 guy was approaching Face Tattoo with two-men (krogan and woman to be precise) squad which is typical protagonist pattern. Unless they are going for symmetrical 3vs3 fights with this guy.

Face tattoo guy looks oddly similar to the playable character in the leak.

 

This N7 doesn't have a scarf unlike the N7 at the panel in an earlier trailer

[TBSN]

 

1st look at N7 colour,red white.

 

 

& the new ship, Tempest.Red white & black.Its N7 colour,so its N7's ship commanding by a N7 captain.

 

Not Another Shepard

• We don’t want to make “Shepard 2”. Part of the challenge is creating a protagonist who isn’t walking in the shadow of Shepard. With the trilogy concluded, the team is crafting a new hero with their own storyline unique and special to them. With Shepard, you arrived on the scene as a hero, and you were called forward from there. For the next Mass Effect, however, we’ve been looking at more of a hero’s journey: how you become a legend and what it takes to get there.

 

 

 

So i guess,the game start this way:

 

N7 guy should be captain or commanding officer of the ship.

& we the protagonist is an untested or a little foot soldier,under his command.

he tell us do this do that,then we grow up,from a little foot soldier to a legend.

Here;s an idea to.  We now know there are multiple arc ships, what if the N7 is the COmmander/ Prominent member of one of them and the protagonist is the commander/ prominent member of another one of the groups?  This could play on the idea of...which has been stated even in this thread...of the protag being untested and untrained...maybe not even being military... up against the creme of the Alliance military?  Could be a great way to see that character grow from getting their ass kicked by said N7 to eventually being able to defeat them.

Do we really have any concrete evidence that the N7 guy was at the helm of the tempest? It could've just been his own private shi for all we know. Same with the tattoo guy, we're seeing the shot from behind and other than the similar outline and armor (which could well be standard issue alliance unifprm/armor) we don't know for sure if it was tattoo guy himself at the helm.

Exactly! It could very well be that the N7 has a similar authority to Shepard with his own squadmates that you might have to fight. That would be something different to the usual cookie cutter goons and enemies. Besides, just having two squadmates and walking confidently isn't a recipe for a hero.

 

He is also seen taking a clearly renegade/rutheless action against the tattoo guy which I don't think the hero would do given that such an action would be left to the players choice in ME.

Yup that's kinda my thoughts too, it'd be a refreshing take on the series to have a new and untested character rather than a savior figure. Some one who might have to face against an intimidating opponent like a renegade N7 commander. Honestly I was getting tired of being space jesus all the time so I think this has some potential in this setting.

[The Dystopian Hound]

We are the N7 guy. It's so obvious.

[EpicNewb]

N7 guy is super edgy.  White suit is a cornball.

We are. And unless you're blind, deaf, and dumb it's pretty apparent. Trust me.

[Al Foley]

It'd be disappointing...

[Giantdeathrobot]

I kinda hope the N7 guy is an antagonist. So our untested PC goes up against a deadly veteran with their own entourage and ship, maybe. That sounds like an interesting story if said N7 guy is a good antagonist.

[The Dystopian Hound]

Yeah It would be. People have been freaking losing their minds over this crap. The stuff I've seen people say has made me sick but I'm not surprised. I've been on this forum long enough to know what's what.

That what we did in the first game.

 

Rookie Spectre taking on the most badAZZ Spec

[Cheviot]

We're not.  When the reveal trailer was released - which basically revolved around the N7 guy -  Bioware said:

You will play a human, male or female, though that’s actually not the character you saw in the trailer

My guess is that the N7 guy could be a party member.  Antagonist is possible, I suppose.

[Al Foley]

Except Shepard was anything but 'untested' in any way shape or form and was already a badass, why they were even being considred for the Spectres in the first place.  They were already an N7.  The most elite of Alliance Special Forces.  Being a much younger, and much more untested, and potentially non-military PC is very different.

Last year teaser shows N7 doing the travelling at the "helm" of what is clearly the same "helm" seen here in this teaser. That's also when the devs told us N7 wasn't the player character and how people discovered the Ryder name (dogtags near the "helm").

 

It is possible that tattoo guy is only getting poisoned and thrown off a cliff by a Krogan though.

[Ahriman]

It is possible that tattoo guy is only getting poisoned and thrown off a cliff by a Krogan though.

He was poisoned by another krogan though, while N7 guy and his krogan were approaching the site.

[von uber]

N7 guy is an undercover cerberus agent called Lai Keng.
