And annoying. Guys, I liked Shepard, but their story was about ending the reapers. That story is now over, so let them enjoy retirement and have us play someone new.

^ “let them enjoy retirement”

Or, alternatively, the cold embrace of death.

What about shepards descendants? XD

Closest to a canonized cold embrace of death I would want to see, is a plot or character growth critical adventure into a “haunted” crypt, where the new protagonist accidentally reactivates a now Skeletal, T800 looking corpse Shep. At the very least, beginning a sort of Hero’s Shade encounter, for the new protagonist. Revenant Shep as a companion might be asking too much, though XD
