I completely agree. An original story set in the universe would be far better than an attempt to copy the game's plot. It would also mean that canon stayed ambiguous. Defining canon in that way by having a Shepard on screen wouldn't be a good idea, in my opinion. Too many people would complain about the options he/she didn't/did take, and were then 'canon'.
