After finishing the game I've reached the conclusion that Bioware must have reversed the main characters for Andromeda and the trilogy. Mass Effect' story would have benefited from a young untested hero that get's wrapped up in greater events and becomes humanity's first spectre while Andromeda needed a veteran combatant that has set out to find a new home for humanity across the stars and has to cope with that responsability.

I disagree. I don't think a rookie would have worked as a Spectre, because the Spectres are chosen from among the galaxy's most elite Marines, intelligence operatives, or C-Sec agents. Shepard was also going to be humanity's first Spectre, so even if the selection requirements weren't that exacting, it wouldn't have made sense for the Alliance to put forward anyone other than their golden boy/girl. Once you get into ME3 and the Reapers are invading you also aren't going to want someone who has much less experience than other Alliance commandos as being the very tip of the proverbial spear. On that note, I also think the War Hero background fits the Shepard trilogy's story best. |

OTOH, I can imagine a version of ME1 where Shepard isn't a Spectre until the very end.

I quite like War Hero with Colonist, and headcanon that it was Anderson who rescued young Shepard from Mindoir, taking a special interest in her/him, thus becoming the father figure / mentor he was throughout the series. We now return you to the topic of this thread. |
