I agree 100%. I hate how BioWare created their own canon with certain novels, superseding "our canon" in favour of the choices they chose. It may be a different storyline, but it will never fit in with my playthrough.

They can mention Shepard, but only lightly touch on the things he/she is guaranteed to do. The Vega comic mentioned Shepard's house arrest, which is fine, but it also mentions that Shepard did it. If you import a save without rescuing Amanda Kenson, the story accounts for that by saying a squad of soldiers did instead, but were KIA. These kinds of little things are what ruin the possibility of us being able to create our own canon, not in our minds, but in the game.
