User blog comment:556503/Why I'm disappointed that Commander Shepard won't be in the new Mass Effect./@comment-24174486-20131025184852

"To not include Shepard in the next Mass Effect is like Star Wars without Anakin/Darth Vader"

Knights of the Old Republic? All of the other Expanded Universe works?

"Star Trek without Captain Kirk."

Next Generation? Voyager?

"Bioware had already betrayed me once with the endings to Mass Effect three, to do it again is disappointing me further."

Because BioWare shouldn't be allowed to do anything you disapprove of, right?

"Bioware stated that the new Mass Effect will not have ANYTHING to do with Shepard."

They said that it was likely, not certain.

"For me Bioware is betraying their fans again even though they said that the fans were in control of the story."

It is no "fan's" place to dictate what stories creators are allowed and not allowed to tell. If you consider a creator telling a story that isn't what you want a "betrayal", can you even call yourself a fan?
