ME as movies or TV never appealed to me. Every time I see Liara fawning over Shepard or them making out I'll cringe.

So I just had a thought. What if this potential show is tied to the upcoming Mass Effect game?
What *if* this whole "Mass Effect will continue" is about this upcoming show.
Ten seasons to redo ME3 endings let's gooo
Hmmm. While all attention is put to the new Will Continue ME series, Bioware will be working on ME4 featuring Shepard coming back for one more mission according to the guy telling the story. Will Continue will run up to the time ME4 is either announced and/or released.

I'm especially curious how they would adapt Mass Effect 2. In a video game story, you can get away with certain things that won't fly on TV, like having a large cast of characters that are not plot essential. In ME2 the only plot essential characters are Mordin and either Miranda or Jacob. I'm already getting cynical really fast, but I wouldn't be surprised if they cut characters like Thane and Samara, because the story doesn't need them, and the effects are expensive. Mass Effect is a huge universe. They shouldn't limit themselves to Shepard's story except for fixated plot points, if we're ever going there i.e Sovereign's defeat, the Collectors stopped, Anderson leaving the Council.

My guess it's gonna be femShep romancing Liara. Because girl power all the way these days! And since I love Liara I'm fine with it. I saw someone on reddit assuming it would be Femshep on the show, too, except they were saying it in a "It ShOuLdN't Be FeMsHeP sHe'S a MiNoRiTy BWAAAAAAAH!" sort of way. I would hate the show with Femshep just like I would hate it with Henry Cavill as prettier-Sheploo. No matter what, they'll still be canonizing a ton of decisions that a lot of players didn't make. I would be excited about a Mass Effect show only if it didn't involve Shepard at all, not even as a mention. First contact war all the way. It gives them an overarching narrative with some main plot points to hit, but still plenty of room to get creative with smaller stories and events along the way.

Friend told me they're casting for both male and female Shep right now. So looks like that's still up in the air. My money remains on femShep winning. That's just how it goes nowadays. They'll probably have Kaidan die too.
My friend believes Cavill will be Kaidan. I would hate it less than Shep but wouldn't be happy about it. I'm hoping for unknown but talented actors who have some resemblance.
I too would prefer not to have the trilogy. And preferably none of the squadmates either. Their voices are iconic. It will be so jarring to have actors who look and SOUND nothing like their game counterparts. Not bothered by forcing certain decisions I didn't make in the games. I just hate game adaptations in general. FemShep is Jennifer Hale and that's that. Don't make me suffer through anything less.
I'd take ANY side story. But they're not gonna give me my private detective on Omega I've wanted as a game for years. They want a huge space soap opera again. The new Expanse So trilogy it is. Sigh.

I'm one of the weird fans: The one small, itty, bitty thing I want out of this series is to see one if not some of the human ladies hooking up with male aliens, not just the protagonist, because in the trilogy I never did. There was a lot of human guys and gals with asari and one guy dating a quarian, but never a human female dating any one of the trillions of predominately male aliens in the trilogy, and i'm pretty sure there are xenophiles aplenty.

Wasn't there a rumor a while back that the Mass Effect tv series would be a choose-your-own-adventure type of thing? Or is that back when Netflix (Hulu?) was supposedly doing it? never a human female dating any one of the trillions of predominately male aliens in the trilogy There was a female human/male turian couple sitting at the sushi bar in the Citadel DLC. Or maybe several of them?

Or maybe several of them? Yeah, that's true. Citadel dlc went all out with female humans and male turians at the sushi bar and in the intro to Silversun strip you do see a human female and male turian c-Sec officer hug as well. BioWare pretty much figured it out at that point in the trilogy. Still, I want to see that this kind of thing happens in the TV series, and not only with turians.

Same reason I struggled to get into The Witcher. Once I'm used to a pixel face any real human playing them looks wrong. Imposters. I'm also wondering just how they wanna make this look good. The Witcher S1 looked plenty cheesy and that setting is nothing compared to all the aliens and tech in Mass Effect. They'd need a huuuuge budget. I'm highly skeptical. I never wanted a Witcher TV show and I never wanted a Mass Effect movie or TV show. So my reaction is a groan so far. I'll watch it if it really happens. But I'll probably cringe through the whole thing. Something like Mass Effect has a much steeper hill to climb over Witcher though, since at the very least, Geralt is not a particularly malleable character in terms of either demeanor or appearance, live actor issues aside. He is who he is and everyone basically has the identical Geralt or just read the novels, whereas for some of us, the only Shepard we acknowledge is our custom one. I’m of the mindset that a game that uses story/moral choice as one of its biggest conceits is the worst possible choice to adapt its core story.

She already buys him Turian chocolates saying she thought of him when she saw them.

He's not a business insider, no. I think he got it off social media. He listed a bunch of actors who are auditioning right now, like Emily Blunt and Cara Gee. I'm not following anybody on social media nor did I care to check, so I can't verify this. Sorry, should have made this clearer. He always feeds me actor tidbits from their Twitter or whatnot on all kinds of things that turn out to be true. So I was like "huh, OK".

I’m of the mindset that a game that uses story/moral choice as one of its biggest conceits is the worst possible choice to adapt its core story. I haven't been able to watch the show "the witcher" but that said I know it is supposed to be taken from the books that take place before the game took place. So they really don't have any problem at all about worrying about player choice like they would if they use shepard or the trilogy characters. Now if the show "the witcher" goes into the games timeline then they may have a problem. I think their best bet is to not use shepard. Also I agree that it will be incredibly expensive to do a mass effect tv show. Any krogan,Salarian,hanar,Turian,or elcor characters will have to be CGI and that gets very expensive really fast. That isn't even talking about the settings and so on. They will basically be filming half the crap in front of a green screen. It can be done but it is gonna be very expensive. Like I said in another post if it costs alot to make then they need to make WAY more money then they would have made otherwise just to justify making the show more then one or two seasons. I see a DA show as being much more cost effective then a Mass effect show.

I am fine with this AS LONG as it's not an adaptation of the trilogy. A prequel to the series would be great but shepard should not have anything canon about him or her. We have an entire trilogy that is practically a movie by itself that is centered around this character, and it's always meant to be chosen by the players. There is so much more to explore that would give the writer much more freedom.
I wouldn't mind cameos from characters who are NOT shepard BUT, the writers would need to be VERY carefull to remain consistent. Like garrus and Tali don't know each other before mass effect so if any of them appear in the series, they are not supposed to have any complicity or attraction towards one another.
