Honestly, I was hoping for a prequel show about the First Contact War or Anderson's story, leading up to the events of ME1. I would rather not watch a direct TV adaptation of the trilogy about Shepard since it's an RPG series where we make our own choices as a player when it comes to making difficult choices that lead to consequences throughout the story, picking a romance option, etc.

Edited: I'll give this show a chance when it comes out eventually and it could bring new fans who never played the games before, but I'm still very skeptical.

Weirdly the fact that the game is an RPG makes me less nervous about the story idk. Like since there is no singular story for Shepard I feel like I can just go in thinking of this as another iteration of them rather than being worried about deviations like for stories with a singular path.

To me the thing I’m most worried about is how they will make the aliens look. Regardless of the story if species like the Krogan or the Turians look like cheap CGI or halloween costumes it will ruin the experience for me.

Treat it like watching another player being watched on a livestream.
