Gotta say if no Shepard I have no interest in ME4, just like I have no interest in Dragon Age II. I want to play as the character I've invested so much time in, not start some new person. Furthermore, if they event a new character, there's just no way he'll be as epic as shepard. Shepard united a galaxy, escaped death countless times and more or less is the greatest human to have ever lived any new character (ex. Randall Enzo) will just be no where near as impressive.
