Mass Effect 5 'The Return of Shepard'

I loved Shepard, and when I first heard ME was leaving Shepard and crew behind I was really upset. Now I love Ryder and their crew too, and would love to see their story continue. I really enjoy MEA, and hope it countinues.

I guess it's a minority after all, or the people that would prefer it, left the game. I remember there being a similar thread on the old forums about this subject, well, more or less. It was about whether Shepard's story should continue. Back then a lot of people wanted more Shepard, but the same thread 2 years later was very different.

ME5: Return to the Milky Way, NOT SHEPARD

 Wait were you talking about the Re-master or ME-A 2, for the 4 people?

How about both?

The team currently working on MEA continues Ryder's story in a sequel while EA brings in another team to work on ME in the Milky Way with Shepard returning for one more story.

I think Shepard is best off in the old Trilogy.  Chances are that any "new Shepard" wouldn't be the "old Shepard" anyways... because there are different writers now and the style of the game has been changed significantly.  I wouldn't want to see Shepard morphed into some sort of Ryder clone.  They should continue to develop Ryder as a character now.

Do you honestly think after the ME3 endings debacle, they'd go back to that time? How could they even begin to make a game which satisfied and recognized the extreme choices of those endings? Shepard dies in all but 1 ending. So what do they do - make that ending canon and brace for the 'Leliana should be dead in my game' outrage? Hit the reset button and say 'Oh hey, he lived after all' because love those resets and choice ignoring narrative cheats.

To say nothing of how you would account for everything else, from games which are now near a decade old. And the fact that this kind of retreat to comfort zone would be seen as a pathetic capitulation and desperate in the extreme.

Nah after my ME3 MEHEM ending my Shep would have retired to make lots of little blue babies with her waifu. Shep did everything she needed to do.

Whether Ryder returns or not I am rather indifferent. If they really think they can do a much better job in the next game with Ryder, sure why not. If we never see Ryder again though I'm not gonna shed any tears.

That's so weird, because on this very forum there's a recent thread with a poll that shows far more people think Bioware should do a MEA sequel than a ME3 Shep sequel. It's almost like you're wrong.

No, no, sorry. You are definitely wrong. Obviously with sales of around 3 million, there are more than 4 fans.

Yep me too.  I had enough bouncing around a bunch of rather barren worlds with at most a few small outposts on them.  Jump forward a couple hundred years and lets see some big awesome sci-fi planets and cities.

ok...i laughed.
