how would you react if it turns out they're relatives

[Beerfish]

 

Ryder.......I am your father!

[SofaJockey]

I'd be surprised and would be disappointed in the poor quality of BioWare's writing.

i.e. it's not going to happen.

[The Dystopian Hound]

Cousins. Hmmm. That means bad@$$3ry runs in the family. Hopefully. Wouldn't make sense considering back stories.

[Dalinne]

It would make the Galaxy (both galaxies) pretty small.

I hope Rey is not Luke Skywalker's daughter in that regard

she is. The lightsaber was passed on to her.

[dreamgazer]

Only an epic newb would suggest such an idea.

[iM3GTR]

I wouldn't mind, but loads of people'll be like "But my Shepard romanced Liara/Tali/Garrus/Thane, so why would Shepard have a human child!"

Also, Shepard had no known family in two of three backrounds so s/he would have no nephews/nieces/cousins etc.

The movie hinted a lot that it's the case. I don't care either way, but it'd be a pleasant surprise if they followed another direction.

No, I want Ryder to be a completely fresh character.   There are room for stories outside of Shepard's sphere of influence.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Only if it is like this: 

 

Shepard: "Not so fast, Ryder."

Ryder: "Shepard. So, at last we meet for the first time for the last time. ...yeah." 

Shepard: "Before you go, there is something you should know about us, Ryder."

Ryder: "What?"

Shepard: "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." 

Ryder: "What does that make us?"

Shepard: "Absolutely nothing."

Obi1, why didn't you tell me?????????????????????????????????????????????

[Han Shot First]

I'd be disappointed.

Hero dynasties are okay in the fantasy genre, where magic or champions anointed by the gods can explain a single family repeatedly saving the world. It is a poorer fit for Sci Fi, where the world usually mirrors our own with no one being born with some great destiny, or supernatural traits that raise them above their peers.

In a universe with at least trillions of people, and one where Sheoard was not born with some inherent greatness, it shouldn't continually fall to a single family to save the day. Shepard's family members should be as likely to turn out to be ordinary people as they would some N7 golden boy or girl.

[Lady Artifice]

With annoyance.

 

It wouldn't work for Earth born Shepard to begin with. They have no family on record.

[LPPrince]

That would be laughably lazy writing.

Shepard: "Not so fast, Ryder."

Ryder: "Shepard. So, at last we meet for the first time for the last time. ...yeah."

Out of likes but yea, that!     

[Obliviousmiss]

Wow, EpicNewb. You've created more threads in the past few days than I have my entire membership of the forum!

 

[Serza]

Sure. There were roughly 300,000 people on Earth in Pleistocene, so we are ALL related, whether you like it or not.

 

Doesn't mean they have to drive it any further.

Shepard: 'I see your omni-blade is as big as mine. Now let's see how you handle it.'

[prosthetic soul]

The N7 antagonist in Mass Effect Andromeda is actually Shepard.  Calling it now.

[Monster A-Go Go]

how would you react if it turns out they're relatives

 

Spoiler

 
Something like that.

[Cyonan]

I'd rather this not become Star Wars where almost every person of some kind of destiny is apparently related to the Skywalker line in some way.

[Kierro Ren]

If so, theyed bec ousins, like Hawke and Amell Warden. However, it's been confirmed that they won't be related.

[The Night Haunter]

Shepard: "Which is what you are about to become!"

[capn233]

They are very distant cousins.  Like pretty much everybody anyway.
