What Shepard will you play as in the Legendary Edition?

All of them?

Well, maybe not all of them, I don't have the stomach for some of the DerpShep runs anymore.

In my opinion, I will probably replay the entire trilogy at least 3 more times at minimum. So, definitely a Paragon Bro, a Renegon Fem (default 2nd) and a Ruthless Run last.

If ME5 is actually good, then I return to all of them.

My canon Shepard will be first. Female Colonist Sole Survivor Infiltrator Paragon who romances Kelly Chambers.
Though her appearance might be different depending on the new options.

I'll mix it up. My original Shepard was a Adept Spacer War Hero (Paragon, mostly), but now I want to try a Vanguard Colonist Sole Survivor and take a more natural approach to the whole Paragon/Renegade scale. Whatever happens, happens, I'm not going to do anything purely to accumulate points. Romance-wise, I haven't decided but there's still time.

I haven't played in 4 years, so I think for a first new PT, I am going with my canon male colonist war hero infiltrator Shep, romancing Liara in all three games and a general paragade - more towards paragon - attitude (nice to friends and generally good-natured but can be harsh to people who piss him off).

After that, it's a femShep, going for Garrus who leans towards a more renegade personality.
She‘ll be an earth born sole survivor. Not sure which class yet, probably soldier or vanguard.

For my first run...Abigail Shepard shall ride again. Earthborn, ruthless. Probably 55-45 renegade leaning paragrade. Romances Kaidan in 1 before nuking him and then wishes James were romanceble in 3. Oh focuses more on ARs, chooses the Revenant in 2 and runs the Valk, Talon, and Valiant in 3.

You can always head-canon that the Lazarus project kept Shepard under a tanning lamp... 


In my only ME2 Renegade PT, I changed my lady Shepard to be bald with super pale skin and I never fixed the scars. She looked like an evil Terminator by the end of the game. 

That’s right, we can have scars from 1 be across the trilogy now. I really liked the one across the nose so may choose that since it doesn’t go away in 2 anymore.
I wonder if there’ll be new scars with the new options, since MEA had a good variety.

yeah thats why i never bothered with adding one when i played 1. Of course it'll depend on what the options are.

Other than the first run listed, to unlock Reave in ME3 early on, no particular order to the runs ...

Fem-Spa-Her-Sol-KA
Male-Spa-Her-Sol-AW
Male-Col-Her-Eng-TZ
Male-Ear-Her-Sen-LT
Fem-Ear-Her-Sen-KC
Fem-Col-Her-Eng-ST
Male-Spa-Sur-Van-ML
Fem-Spa-Sur-Van-GV
Male-Ear-Sur-Inf-KC
Fem-Ear-Sur-Inf-LT
Male-Col-Sur-Adp-SZ
Fem-Col-Sur-Adp-JV
Male-Spa-Ruth-Sen-AW
Fem-Spa-Ruth-Sok-KC
Male-Ear-Ruth-Eng-TZ
Fem-Ear-Ruth-Van-LT
Male-Col-Ruth-Adp-LT
Fem-Col-Ruth-Inf-TK

The list is my MELE naming convention for Shep ... similar to my naming conventions for MET, MEA and the DA series.

Most likely, in the first two runs, I'll create a "canon" male and female Shep look, carrying them throughout MELE.

Abby was never a racist she just hated the council and loves poking the Asari.

Going with my canon Shep: Male, Vanguard, colonist, sole survivor, pro-human.
