Honest poll on whether Shepard should return in a future Mass Effect game

Shepard was the star of 3 games. He/she is either dead or dying at the end of ME3. Its time to let go and move on.

I swear people want more of the same shit crammed down their throats, but then turn around and bitch about more of the same shit crammed down their throats.

The definition of insanity man, look it up.

You were disappointed with ME1? That explains a lot.

Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

Since when?

No, Commander Shepard has been able to be a man or a woman since always. So really if we are going to get picky with pronouns, the objectively correct one is 'they'. 

There is no canon. Bioware has stated that one is not more canon than the other. 

There is also cover art of Shepard as a woman. 

It's totally canon. It's on the cover art.

But there are more canon covers with male Shepard.

Isn't that basically the Control ending?  You're totally stripping away the player agency of Shepard... forcibly turning him/her to the dark side regardless of what the player did in the Trilogy... I can hear the uproar now.  People don't want Shepard to return with a personality other than whatever one they created for him/her in the first three games.  When they ask for the return of Shepard, they are asking for the return of THEIR Shepard and in a manner where they continue to control how he/she reacts and what he/she says and does.  If they throw Shepard in and he/she is not the PC, it can really be only a cameo that doesn't really give much indication of either renegade or the paragon personality traits... or your going to completely alienate those who had the opposite Shepard from what is presented.
