Is there precedent for this? EA canceling games? No. Never happened before. I can't be quite sure, but I think alanc9 was asking about EA signing off on the trailer without a concrete plan.

I can't be quite sure, but I think alanc9 was asking about EA signing off on the trailer without a concrete plan. The answer to that is in clear admission on Twitter. You got me at a bad time, I don't have twitter at work. I think it's from whats-her-name who replaced Casey, who said that Mike and whats-his-name that went to make the pitch for ME5 with him were very enthusiastic, but there was no detailed plan. In fact, if I recall correctly, the quote was "details on the plan will come later" and everything in the pitch was "very rough". If anyone can find the tweet and can post it, I'd be much obliged. I'll look for it later myself.

Arent those clear already? Also not just in here, but in some other groups I will not mention by name, it seems Shepard is being left where he belongs, into the OT.

I have actually only seen one place where a new Shepard game has any kind of traction... the main reddit. Even there is may top at 50/50. I think most people forget that it’s been eight years and many have moved on. It’s great to replay the OT, but people want something more out of ME. It’s a big universe and there is more to see than the same old same old.

I have actually only seen one place where a new Shepard game has any kind of traction I would really like to see the performance of another non-Shepard ME. It’s a big universe and there is more to see than the same old same old. I could say the same about Star Wars, yet all anyone seems to want to see, is more Luke Skywalker.

Most Star Wars fans I know are more into KotoR, Kyle, and some of the older EU that Disney wiped out.

I think most people forget that it’s been eight years and many have moved on. It’s great to replay the OT, but people want something more out of ME. It’s a big universe and there is more to see than the same old same old. Everywhere other than here from what I have seen people are excited for Shepard. And as for Reddit they have 220k members in the mass effect group 1.2k online at the time I'm typing this. Here is about a 1/20th of that. And while they may only slightly edge into Shepard back there, the amount that want Ryder back are far less.
Which is why I think a new protagonist is the best choice. While a slight majority may want Shepard back, I don't think most of them will be put off by a new protag, they will be put off by Ryder. The slight minority that doesn't want Shepard back seems to really not want Shepard back, and only the very small minority that is obsesses with Ryder and only Ryder will be put off by a new protag.
This shit isn't my job though, so i may be misreading it. I'm pretty confident Bioware is misreading it though.

i always wondered why the "awakening solution" is never considered.
if your canon ending is high ems destroy -> you can import commander Shepard any other ending -> new warden command... Spectre commander, choose between human/salarian/turian/asari, go

Spectre commander, choose between human/salarian/turian/asari, go That could work, though there'd have to be a fair amount of conditional dialogue that only pops up depending on whether you're playing as Shepard or the new Spectre character, then hire a couple of extra voice actors for all the new character's dialogue in addition to Hale and Meer. I only played through Inquisition a couple of times, and I had the human mage background for both playthroughs. Did most people think they did a good enough job with making the voices and the dialogue different depending on which background you chose? Though I still think the story of Mass Effect's Milky Way civilization should be left to end with ME3. I'm not super-enthusiastic about "ME5" based on that initial trailer with what looks like a broken relay and a post-ME3 Liara.

Also, IIRC, male Ryder already had some degree of military/civilian enforcement training. And yet he forgot his training by not scanning the robot for bugs before allowing it back on the ship.

I am in that group that will never again simply buy another BioWare game based on faith alone. I don't buy a game from them on faith. I buy a game because their games offer replay value. That's number one for me. Unfortunately MEA failed on that part. Mostly because I found Ryder to be not interesting. The only reason I did the number of playthroughs I did is because of speedruns. That's the best thing I can say about the game. I believe there's a few who think refuse is a flipping of the bird as well. The moment thing says You don't know them, and there's not enough time to explain, was Bioware telling me they had no idea what they were doing with the giant microphone. The slide show didn't bother me since I was ok with it for DAO. If they were to redo ME3, I would want to redo ME1/2 as well. It's unfortunate they didn't have the time needed to do what they originally wanted with ME3. I would prefer that version instead of what was released. As far as Shepard returning? It wouldn't be hard. Since the teaser shows dead reapers, it appears Bioware chose red. If they can do that, they can bring Shepard back, if they want.

I’m just looking past the prerelease hype, the vertical slice demo content that inevitably gets downscaled in the final game, and considering what it is I can realistically expect in the final product if they decide to tie Shepard inextricably into a future Milky Way title. Like, where do you go from this point when the character has already achieved legendary status by saving the entire galaxy? Who the hell is even going to give Shepard a hard time about anything? Why would my Shepard, after all this shit, still be a glorified errand boy shooting aliens? My hope is that either Shepard’s dead, or Shepard is now a prominent NPC far off in the distance living life no longer saddled with doing the lowly dirty work of an infantryman. If there’s one thing I’m certain of, is that I’m bored as fuck of that character and simply want something else. If they go this route, I can abandon any prospect of getting anything new and interesting out of the PC itself.

Aye, it's bad enough that they are bringing back the Blue Creeper...😒 All my Shep's want to do is go into hiding and chill with their LI's in peace and have many,any kids then die of old age, happy. Is that so hard to ask for?

It's doubtful whether a lot of these people realize the practicalities of bringing back their Shepard though. I'm sure the reaction will be less positive once this is inevitably realised.
