What if it does, by the end of it? Still sounds very meh to me, also not keen on visiting Shepard again. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depends on your perspective, the wider public would have to be the judge of what they are more keen on visiting. And the Will Continue reaction points to preferring a Shepard return. However, it adheres to the rules set by every one of people's complaints about making a game with Shepard, besides the "i just don't want to" one. Which is just childish. Even I have said that Bioware should make a game with Ryder, even if I don't care for him.

I think it’ll be a new protagonist. I’ve always thought this. Shepard is tied to the trilogy, I think Liana Rupert said Ryder is out but in a video she did for game spot she said she confirmed with devs Liara is 800 years older. We will see both galaxies, and Liara, but an all new cast. I posted that on the ME Reddit and people got angry but game spot seems like a better source than vloggers, who some of the Reddit folks seem to trust. She did said she confirmed that liara is older, not how many years old she is. Also she said she's about 800 years older, but that was a thought on her part. We knew liara was old from the moment we've seen her on the teaser, despite some people here saying she's not. She answered on one of my posts that the person we see in the distance is not Ryder, but her sources could always turn out to be wrong as she said. The devs have strongly hinted that the person we see might be someone we know, if we can figure it out. Turns out the helmet is the same Ryder wore, and also the collar. It seems to have been redesigned a little. Now I don't rule out the possibility of having someone new with a new cast which that might be the case, but there are still hopes. |

Bioware released after the teaser on their blog post this image showing specifically the crew, not liara i.imgur.com/aKMLWMz.jpgIf you look closely you'll see the helmet is the same and the collar has the same lines as the pathfinder's suit. This shot shows it better if you zoom in i.imgur.com/g6hBMz1.jpgAlso Gamble's tease on who is it and the animation director agreeing when someone mentioned it's them. |

I say that image shows Larry, Curly, and Moe dressed up in their halloween costumes.
Why should I believe what Gamble tweets? He's the same guy who tweeted we respect players choice when that isn't true.

It doesn't look like a me2 armor set imoAnd that is the extent of your comment's practical application. In someone's opinion, it may look like the armour of the red sentai warrior, from super mega sentai warriors season 4. So it's obviously going to be a crossover sentai game. It doesn't really fucking matter if you think it or not. It's a blurry piece of shit, intentionally so, so whatever you see, when it is revealed that it isn't, they can go "oh, well, you saw what you wanted to see, we never said it was this or that" and you're hyping yourself up for disappointment. What's more likely? It's going to be an "adjusted" design, developed for Ark 6, that looks like something in between a ME2 armour and an Initiative armour. |

Any prequel is a narrative dead end with no point, especially considering the ending. If BioWare does anything in the Milky Way again, they’ll have to bite the bullet and go forward, not backward. What if it does, by the end of it? I think it’s probably best to avoid just rehashing the reaper war from an alternate perspective. Players already saw the most important, relevant bits, and anyone else would just get those side-stories not worth even putting in the codex. I can’t help but feel like it would just be a waste of time to have a concurrent storyline, especially after so long digesting the trilogy we already got. I’d say the best way to make this work would be to have the prologue tie directly into the game’s ending, expanding the final moments of Priority: Earth, then perhaps some kind of sequence that lays out a bit of history following the aftermath to the start of the next game, like a bit of the rebuilding, establishing the new setting, etc.. I think it would make for a fairly strong intro, though it still leaves the nagging question of that pesky ending they roll with.

They could also use other media like novels and comics to explore the Reaper War from different perspectives and IMHO that would work better for the series in the long run.

Yeah supplementary content like that always serves best. Like, I would hate a First Contact game, but a First Contact book can be interesting.

I am weirdly intrigued by the clone Shepard theory surprisingly. You could essentially have a memory loss storyline akin to Witcher 2. To me it could be one of the few ways you could develop Shepard's character in a meaningful way.
The other side of it is of course is that's it hammy as shit. Bioware has already used the clone storyline in the citadel DLC and it was perfection - precisely because the concept's hammyness perfectly fit the vibe of the DLC.

Doing Initiative stuff? Ryder: Welcome everyone? My name is little duck, I mean Scott/Sara Ryder. I'm recruiting someone to be on my team to do Initiative stuff. The qualifications are, be a troublemaker, endanger the lives of your fellow squadmates, leader and crew of the ship, allow items on the ship without being scanned, not have a backbone to stand up for yourself, and finally, my personal favorite, is having the I don't care attitude. Ok those of you who believe they meet those qualifications, step forward. At that point I will decide if you have the right stuff todo Initiative stuff.

We'll have a quest about something going on with the initiative, that Alec has got a hold of. It may be connected to Reaper agents that are trying to sabotage it, so that nobody escapes the harvest, for example. So Alec contacts Liara, to reach Shepard and blah blah blah.

Where did Alec find the time to get this information since he was so focused on making the sam-in-the-head thing? Is all this going on while Shepard is dead? And if Shepard is alive during this time, why not get in contact with someone in the Alliance to forward the message to Shepard?

Are these so-called reaper agents separate from the collectors and Saren? If not, who? Batarians. Where did Alec find the time to get this information since he was so focused on making the sam-in-the-head thing? Jien Garson did and asked for help. Alec said "nah, too busy. Maybe Liara can get Shepard to handle it." Is all this going on while Shepard is dead? And if Shepard is alive during this time, why not get in contact with someone in the Alliance to forward the message to Shepard? After the SM, before getting grounded on Earth. |

it would be funny as hell if they used my Batarian Warden idea and Black Talon faction ideas and modified them into make them work within their story. My Batarian Warden does have Reaper Augments due to his insane size and all four of his eyes are pure black. Yes the purest black eyes that scares even the hardest of players. Black Talons members are the type of assholes would happily augment themselves with cybernetics of all stripes. Think of them as nightmare fuel fetists with a creepy love of Cyberpunk.
