1) who the heck is cmdr shepard?
2) if the plot line puts him in, he’s in. it’s not like we have a choice in the matter
3) I must be really bored to be responding to this thread.

Mass Effect main character.

To answer the OP, I would not let him/her because that would mean EA has their hand in the game and I currently don’t trust EA with releasing good games. So I would do what I could to show my dislike of the fact that EA has their greedy hands on the game.

If Commander Shepard showed up in Tyria, he would just sit in the Black Citadel all day and randomly sponsor shops by telling people it’s his favorite place the Citadel.

And then we’ll have a holographic Scarlet explain to us that dragons were created to save us from destroying ourselves with magic by killing us before we can destroy ourselves with magic, then give us the option of committing suicide in a red, blue, or green pillar of light. Meaningful choices!

First two installments of the franchise are excellent, but the third game threw away all the promises they made over the five years of development and Bioware played the “Artistic License” and “You Just Don’t Understand Our Vision” cards in defense.

To be fair, if you get over the fact that the decisions you made through 1 and 2 have no real impact besides a few side missions and cut scenes MS3 is still a pretty awesome game with an epic story and is definitely worth playing.

To answer OPs question. I would cheer on while Shepard beats the crap out of that leafy bag of chlorophyll.

That would be weird for me.

I use the same basic character design in almost all (western) RPGs. Obviously the class and skills and things will change, but the appearance, personality, playstyle and name is the same.

Which means in my mind my Commander Shepherd is my main GW2 character.

I’m not sure what would happen if two of them met. She met her mutant clone in a text-based RP forum and that went ok eventually, but actually meeting herself would be very confusing.

The thing is it wasn’t just the lack of meaningful choices that spoiled the game. ME’s story was 95% epic, but the remaining 5% was so god-awful terrible that it managed to drag the rest of the work down with it. It not only employed a McGuffin, but it pulled a Deus Ex Machina on top of that, then proceeded to retroactively ruin the mystery of the Reapers by revealing their motivation to be completely illogical and contradictory.

I’d go into a long rant about it, but this is the GW2 discussion forums, so instead I’ll just say I hope we’ll never have to divert Pact resources to build a presumed dragon kill-switch based on schematics created through some weird hand-me-down collaboration of hundreds of extinct civilizations that never communicated with each other (much less shared a common language or metric system), and that we have absolutely no idea how it works, what it does, or how to even activate it (but decide to bring it to the final battle anyway); I also hope there will never be a holographic Scarlet that appears at the hour of our defeat to explain that dragons were created to save us from developing magics that will wind up causing our extinction… by preemptively committing genocide on us; additionally I hope said holographic Scarlet never gives us the option to instantly win by committing suicide in a red, blue, or green pillar of light that ultimately just affects what color filter we get for the exact same ending cutscene.

Unlike some other game. >cough<

>:O And now I know how it all ended, nice.

Never finished ME3, played about half way through, wanted more points so I started playing the free iphone/ipad “thing”, a week passed and I realised I stopped playing ME3. Guess I didn’t care that much about it by then and just stopped all together.
I knew I’d find out the ending one day, and here I am.

And honestly, I was never going to touch ME3 again anyway, ME2 was too good.

Well, not really. It’s more the storyline for this game. But it sounded like it should fit.
