I generally feel that having a ME game without Shepard would be fine, but, honestly, when I think about it, I always end up thinking that it just wouldn't be the same. It'd be like, say, a Harry Potter book without Harry, Ron and Hermione. Or, to use a game example, an Uncharted game without Nathan Drake. It just wouldn't be the same, playing a ME game without Shepard and crew.
