As much as I love Mass Effect, I hope that Shep is in the new game very, very little if at all. Recordings or buggy VIs or Shep would be perfect little nods but anything else would be too much for me. He/she completed their mission and that part of the story should be done. I don’t want this to become a Star Wars thing where we have a galaxy full of fantastic creatures and end up dealing with the same family in perpetuity
