Should bioware do one final shepard game?

He had an interesting premise, challenged my PC at every turn and wasn't a bootlicker.

I don't care about the narrative. It could be a treasure hunt, protecting colonies from a fringe group, save a friend, solve a murder mystery, revenge ... whatever.

Well, I generally like them having a backbone. And I also like, if I can't built the character myself to be as dumb or smart as I like, to be at least as smart as I am IRL and consistently so. Ideally, I'd like a set protagonist to be smarter than me.

Not necessarily. Being heroic has many aspects to it. Being heroic, sometimes, entails getting your ass handed to you.

I don't really care about Vega. I think he is a nobody and a token character, to represent the "best place to start the trilogy" crowd. I don't care about him. He's OK, but I'd gladly swap him out for any other soldier type squadmate.

They still are people that had budget allocated to them, to facilitate their interactions with you. I'd trade any one of the ladies and the gent for someone previously established in the trilogy. Miranda, for example, according to the lore, has her own fighter. Why couldn't she be the shuttle pilot, as well? She is obviously a skilled pilot, to fly a fighter. To quote the wiki

"Aside from providing valuable anti-Cerberus intel, she procures a private fighter for herself, teaming up with former colleagues to strike at Cerberus targets."

And considering how much intel on Cerberus she's got and how much we fight Cerberus in ME3, you'd think she'd be on board. She'd also have access to the Normandy's QEC, so talking to Anderson and Hackett would be a lot easier and more secure than anywhere else.

Except Blackwall, everyone else. And even Blackwall was merely mediocre in a sea of bland. And from what I've seen in Anthem, everyone there as well. So I don't see it as something limited to Montreal.

I already don't care for DA4. But thanks for dedicating your time to have this conversation with me. I really enjoyed it.

There will be no chance for peace between the geth and quarians, at least not the way that it happens in the old ME3. Instead of happening because of reaper interference, it happens because Han 'I have an itchy trigger finger' Gerrell stands down long enough that the geth stop firing. No one knows how long the peace will last, but they will worry about that after the reapers have been dealt with.

I didn’t even need a lasting “peace” between them. The geth just want to be left alone to contemplate the universe. Fine. Let them have some uninhabitable system to build their fetch structure and leave the organically alone. Fetch and quatrains stay out of each other’s way.

This makes sense. Quarians going to war with the geth when the galaxy is burning is possibly the stupidist thing they've ever done. Mind you, I've come to realize the quarians are largely assholes.

Overall, I like this idea about a reworked trilogy.

As far as the Quarians are concerned, the galaxy wouldn't have been on fire just yet. The reapers' assault is largely concentrated in the Kite's Nest and Local Cluster, far off on the other side of the galaxy from the Perseus Veil.

In ME2, we learn that the Quarian flotilla is slowly failing. One of the admirals even tells us that they'll need a planet for their noncombatants to seek refuge on if and when the reapers do arrive. Had the Council not been dicks and ignored the pleas of the Quarians, they probably would have an alternative planet to live on. From their perspective, a decisive end to the geth threat is the only viable alternative to ensure that they have a world they can [legally] take claim over that's also perfectly suitable for them to live on.

Well there were a lot of stupid bats for everyone, Iakus, within ME3.

What do you mean?  They went to war in ME3.  What are you missing?
