Mass Effect is not just about Shepard. People who think that way are simply missing the important point. Its the people, the different races, the varied cultures, the exotic mass effect technology, galactic civilization, etc that makes the universe so epic. Its what gives it life and how it is different from other games. True, over a period of almost 5 years now, we have invested so much in Shepard and to see his/her journey come to an end is a dreadful heartache for all of us. But we have to get over it and move on. Our visions mustn't be limited, there are too many possibilities out there. The ME universe can be very interesting without Shepard, perhaps even more so as we will meet new people and encounter new viewpoints.
