I don't know why people always equate Mass Effect to Shepard. I mean, its as if Shepard is the center of the universe and without him/her, the galaxy would stop revolving about its axis. Shepard is just a small part of a much greater cosmos, which is a beautiful one, with diverse races, cultures and beliefs. It is this diversity and the richness that makes Mass Effect loved by millions worldwide, not the role-playing interface or the combat mechanics. Such a rich galaxy out there, why are we stuck up with Shepard and company? I know its hard to let go, its is excruciatingly painful for myself, but we have to move on. We need to explore more of this fascinating universe through someone else's eyes. We need to let go of Shepard and find a new place in ME.

Phew, too much ranting....
