What is this topic about, again?
When I started gaming back in the early 90's and owned classics like Blues Brothers PC game and beated european professional Pac Man players (YES. IN THE AGE OF 12), I never thought my gender or the gender of my characters would be a problem. Next year is my 30 birthday and this discussion is still going. sorry for the offtopic, but will it never end, please, can it even stop for a year as a birthday gift for me? : D / D:
And ME1 is one of the greatest rpg ever made. Yesterday I learned more discussion options after 10 years of the original release and six pt's. I never spoke to Kahoku about the death of Banes. This game does this everytime.

Definition of insanity- doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. They can make two great games and one pretty good game as often as they like as far as I'm concerned. I'll take the same result as I've had before (a general feeling of satisfaction) over Andromeda. But in terms of the subject of this thread, what's the difference in the end? Shepard in and of itself is a meaningless character if we're talking about what would make a future game good or not. Really, it's only about whether or not tacking Shepard onto another game is more likely to see bigger sales on release. I agree. But if they made another trilogy as good as the OT with Shepard as the protagonist I'd buy it. I happen to think that's impossible due to Shepard's iconic status and the current inability of BioWare to deliver an acceptable product. But if they proved me wrong I would happily accept it.

Same....i'm currently playing my 2nd playthrough of Andromeda hoping that maybe there was something i missed or looked over in terms of enjoyment. Andromeda has it's moments, but i still find the story and characters lacking similar to my first run. That means that bringing Shep back wouldn't mean anything if the writing isn't up to the task of setting the stage for a compelling story followed by well structured and interesting characters.....i can only imagine Shep being brought back and implemented with Andromeda's current brand of writing....Shep's character would be ruined.

I know. It's why I know Femshep can't be canon. So you agree that your whole argument about male Shepard being canon because of things like game covers is busted? No, because he clearly is canon. Femshep isn't canon.

The only BioWARE protagonist that has canon gender, appearance and romance is Revan.

The art covers for the trilogy. Shepard is a male on 3 of them. 2 of them are exclusively with a male Shepard. Hence, male Shepard.

No thank you. Shepard's story is finished. I'd much rather Bioware continue with Ryder and finish their story. I like Ryder more than Shepard anyway. Pretty much the same here. Shepard's story has reached the end and AFAIC she and Liara are very busy making little blue babies. Now I want too see more of Sara Ryder and company.
