Mass Effect isn't just about Shepard and company. Its an entire universe based on mass effect tech, hence the title. Just equating Mass Effect to Shepard is becoming too stuck up on characters. We have to explore this wonderful universe more, new characters, new places will only make it more expansive, more interesting. Different perspectives are required, not only Shepard's. So if a new storyline comes up that doesn't include Shep and company, I wouldn't be bothered at all.
