The quest in ME1 was ok and hearing Shepard's mom was nice but they kind of dropped the ball in the sequels imo, it's like Bioware remembered that there's a Shepard mom somewhere and they had to throw something to make her relevant, especially the call in the Citadel DLC that felt like a last minute thought and ends up abruptly without even an option to send her something like "Love you mom, be safe out there" And as someone that made the colonist background as my main, I headcanon that the Zabaleta guy is the one that found young Shepard in the rubbles of Mindoir.

I always play as a Spacer (boring, I know), so I am already familiar with this, but wanted to watch for channel support. What saddens me about the relationship Shepard has with their mom, is that the mother always seems so distant and busy. We see how Commander Shepard has time to walk around the ship having conversations with his/her crew. Hannah rarely hears from Shep, but when she does, she can't spare five minutes to speak to her only child? Her attitude is always abrupt. Then, in the Citadel DLC, when she finally wants to talk to him/her about things, Shep is abrupt. It reminds me very much of the Harry Chapin song Cat's in the Cradle. I feel they could have made the relationship a little less... antagonistic and uncaring? Unless that's what they were going for, then well done. It would certainly explain why a Renegade Shep is the way (s)he is. Also, as others have mentioned, would it have been so hard to put a line in about their father?

It's easy to see it as odd that Shepard's Mom is promoted but Shepard never is, but when you think about it - it makes sense. Shepard is effective as a battlefield commander - in a civilization in a prolonged state of war, you generally don't promote your best battlefield commanders to desk jobs. Shepard kicks ass flying the Normandy, she'd likely kick a lot less ass flying a desk. They could have still promoted her to Captain and kept her in the field (Captain Anderson would have stayed in command of the Normandy had it not been for Shepard) - but maybe the timing was odd - end of ME1 might have been too soon, ME2 she was working for Cerburus, and ME3, well.....let's not go there. Should Shepard's story continue in ME4, it wouldn't be shocking to hear that it is now Captain Shepard, whether alive or posthumously promoted. Certainly, after the ME3 end...a promotion is warranted (maybe more than one - Rear Admiral Shepard?).

The way I see it - Shep is an N7. N7s are specifically trained as field officers, with both the survival and the leadership skills best suited to frontline duty. Sure, if they decide to pursue a career beyond that, that's their choice, but it's quite likely that the people that chose to go into the N7 program were already those that wanted to be in the field. And the brass understands that putting an N7 behind a desk is a waste of a very, very valuable officer. So both Shepard and the Alliance command are interested in maintaining the position of Commander (roughly equivalent to a Major in IRL armies - which is the highest rank that is likely to participate in frontline combat).
@grumpslowenleft9642
Жыл бұрын
@@DawidKov Right, except Anderson was also an N7 and was promoted to Captain while still commanding a combat vessel. I suppose it could be something unsaid with Shepard being a Spectre though....possibly. Not like you're likely to see a flag officer in active covert operations and the like. In our current military, US anyway, you'll occasionally see an O-4 in active field and the occasional flying O-5 - but once you reach O-6 you're only in controlled areas. Makes sense - lots of experience and knowledge, don't want it taken out by an easy shot. Edit: Of course...when I think of it, Spectre applies to any species so wouldn't make a lot of sense to glass ceiling them. Hell...maybe Shep just punched Khalisah too many times? lol

I think its a missed opportunity for the entire Mass Effect Trilogy to give Shepard some real biological family. Not to say Mass Effect is one of its kind and legendary already, but I think having an own family in the back just enriches Shepards background and the lore so much more than there already is. Having a mother in the spacer background already was so great. But like I said I think they could've expanded way more on it.
