This is especially true given the advancements made to the RPG genre in the years sinceMass Effectcame out.

TheMass Effecttrilogywas a huge accomplishment when it originally came out.

I didnt feel like I got to learn or decide who Shepard was outside the context of the mission.

In general,both Shepard’s personality and choices felt somewhat on rails in the originalMass Effecttrilogy.

Bringing Shepard back would risk making the game feel like it was dwelling too much on the series past.

If Shepard returns, I would love to see something similar.
