Yeah, I REALLY hope it's not a Synthesis Shepard because there's a whole lot of problems it would cause for the game. Most grievous is the fact that everyone is has "robot DNA", robots also somehow now have organic DNA, and everyone now has some sort of minor hive mind thing I never quite got the point of. The sequel would basically have to fill in all the contrived details to a mechanic that was never explained all that well in the first place.
