User blog:556503/Why I'm disappointed that Commander Shepard won't be in the new Mass Effect.

Commander Shepard is our stories hero. Wether Male or female you could make him/her however you see fit. To not include Shepard in the next Mass Effect is like Star Wars without Anakin/Darth Vader, or Star Trek without Captain Kirk. They can continue without them but they are never as good without the real hero of the story. You spend 100+ hours customizing Shepard into the character that you want. You could save the galaxy through being paragon, or renegade. Bioware had already betrayed me once with the endings to Mass Effect three, to do it again is disappointing me further. They asked fans on twitter if they preferred a sequel or a prequel with a substantial amount for sequel. If they listen to their fans then even if it's hundreds of years after Shepard's death they have to mention him because he saved all the races in the galaxy. He's like the George Washington for the galaxy. He stood up to the greatest power in the galaxy and defeated them. They broke away from the cycle of being exterminated after becoming so advanced. They cannot do a sequel where they completely disregard Shepard. Bioware stated that the new Mass Effect will not have ANYTHING to do with Shepard. For me Bioware is betraying their fans again even though they said that the fans were in control of the story. However I do not feel in control with the story because I,like many others, want another Shepard game. Shepard is my Hero like Luke Skywalker is to Star Wars fans and Captain Kirk is to Star Trek fans. I'm disappointed that Bioware won't include Shepard but they have so much potential to get a good game in that I might consider buying the next game.
