For instance, while more Shepard is polling badly here, how many of us wouldn't pick up the game, if only to see the trainwreck? For instance, on another thread, there's more that don't want Ryder to return. Some may get the game with Ryder, if only to see it crash and burn The main reason why I wouldn't want BioWare to go back to Shepard is that they have said Shepard's story is now done. To me that means they don't have any idea where they want to go with Shepard any more and if they aren't sure what they want to do at least for me that means that the game's story will be worse then what we got with Andromeda. Even though Bioware said that, the end of ME3 says otherwise. The guy did say one more story. Bioware put that in for a reason. Of course it doesn't mean they will bring Shepard back. Some will say that the guy said it for dlc, but what if someone completed all dlc for that playthrough? Why wouldn't Bioware just remove that line of dialogue? Or remove the scene?

If anything, we'd replay the game, to go through the DLC. Rather it hints at a direct ME3 continuation.

If that quote was before the Extended Cut, that's probably what it's referring to.

How would the guy know about Ryder's story? If he is able to tell about Shepard's time during ME3, then he has no idea about what is going on with the Andromeda Initiative after it left.

They never specially indicated another Shepard story.

If Stargazer didn't intend to tell the kid another story about Shepard, that would be quite the subversion of expectations.

I think so too, since that was when they were still doing save imports. Once they developed the better Dragon Age Keep, that kind of thing became obsolete but that was after he said that.

Interesting how people here will accuse Bioware of lying to them over and over and over again and of making dialogue guffaws left, right and center... How did Garrus know names, etc.... and yet hold onto this "one more story" line as a Holy Grail of Bioware promises. It's laughable really. I agree with alanc9 ... obvious DLC promotion is obvious. It was the Citadel DLC as the "one more story" outside the main story of the Trilogy.

Just like Mac wanted. Well, then I'm going to speculate that the "one more story about THE Shepard" is saying that Control is THE canon ending to ME3 since it's the only ending that actually turns Shepard into an eternal being worthy of the reference "THE Shepherd." (the one looking after the entire flock). In every other ending, he/she is just a dead mortal. In one those endings, we get to see him/her suck in his/her last breath.

Both. When first seeing her, she admits she hit the wrong buttom trapping herself in the bubble. Careless on her part without knowing what she was pushing. Or was it because she panicked when the geth showed up? Maybe both. Then she cowers like a little wimp when the krogan wants to take her. Those are two traits I wouldn't want a squadmate to have. There's another. When taken on Ilos, she wants to stay to investigate the ruins instead pursuing Saren. I like to have a squadmate focus on the mission. If you want to study the ruins, come back on your own time to do that. Yes there are a few others. Javik I have no problem with, but I call him Javik the Great. Ah yes, Jack. The undisciplined little punk with the potty mouth. The only thing I like about her is her tattoos. I would rather have had Samara be mandatory and Jack be optional. On the old forum, several folks would have combined Shiala and Liara into one character. With Shiala, I would have Shepard bring her to the council to tell them what she told Shepard. After that, the council would suggest bringing her along since she may provide more information that could help with finding and dealing with Saren. 2 things bothered me about the dogtags. Why is there two versions of how T'soni got them? And why would Hackett give them to Liara instead of Shepard's mother, if playing as a spacer? Since you mention Miranda, I've noticed in a few of your posts, you don't like her. That's fine. Here's a what if question. What if instead of Liara showing up in the broker dlc, it was Miranda. Everything is the same except it's Miranda? Would you be ok with that with her doing all the same stuff that Liara did? How about Jack? Jacob, Conrad, Javik or anyone else? For me, I would give that character a hard time. I find the armor being on display very disturbing, and not making any effort to inform anyone about Shepard's body in the hands of Cerberus. I would end any relationship I had with that character. I would not trust that character anymore since I have no idea why they would do that. I would not want to be around that character anymore. As I said, I would be curious as to why Bioware would have Shepard say that. If there's to be an ME4, I would reduce her content. How much? About as much if Liara didn't show up after the first two dreams, and remove the scene with her after Shepard talked with holo-Hackett about Mars. To be fair, Liara is considered a young Asari and more than often acts like a teen. It's like Asaris live longer but their mind develop 10 times slower. What annoyed me the most was on Mars in ME3, you see her fleeing some Cerberus grunts in a conduit (which also shows how braindead they are if they can't even shoot her). She just seems panicky, turning her back to (moderate) danger, while all she needs to do is use her biotics Wasn't she supposed to be a badass after ME2 (even if you don't have her DLC) ? One of those blue skinned xenos, a badass? Ha! Good one!

There's no next Shep ME game coming. And, even if there was, BioWare would be going back on their word, making them liars.
