Not sure if it will work or not, but I guess I’ll take it instead of what was done with the Halo tv show.

Personally, I'm content if they essentially follow the game, regardless of the choices they make. All that matters is that they utilize the options already available within the game. I don't really care about anything else, like what gender they make Shepherd. Just don't try to reinvent the wheel.

Yeah, I honestly think if they use the Paragon route as an outline with a few smaller Renegade moments thrown in then it’s not as complicated as it seems. A lot of the big moments like how to handle the Genophage and the Geth conflict have overwhelming popular and satisfying Paragon resolutions, so they may as well just go with it imo

Yeah the only major ME1 choice I can think of that doesnt have an obvious answer is the Virmire Survivor, I would guess they keep Ashley but it could go either way. Wouldnt shock me if both live honestly.

Or, as a chance for a do-over, replace Kai Leng with Kaiden.

Nobody likes Kai Leng, surely everyone knows this by now, they have the freedom to do something completely different with him.

We only care about Kaiden and Ashley because we know their potencial and roles in the games to come. To a newcomer, playing for the very first time, does it matter which one survives? They don't know these characters very well to build a deep connection and feel bad about their deaths. They could both survive or build a deeper relationship with Shepard so their deaths feel more impacting.
