30 Day Video Game Challenge – Day 18 – Favorite Video Game protagonist

Male and female Commander Shepard defaults

Commander Shepard

Commander Shepard is the main protagonist in the Mass Effect original trilogy. Born in the year 2154, Commander Shepard became the first human to join the Spectres. In the game Spectres are given special powers from the Citadel Council. When you first start the game you get to choose the gender, appearance, skills and history. The character is named after Alan Bartlett Shepard, Jr. the second person and the first American in space. Shepard is considered to be a highly skilled solider.

Mass Effect – Xbox 360 / Xbox One Digital Code

The ability for gamers to import the previous version of Mass Effect made the connection to Commander Shepard stronger. It felt like you were Commander Shepard and you took the decisions made in game seriously. Whether you waking friends, getting into a romantic relationship and even deciding who dies, you really embodied the character completely. For this reason I think Commander Shepard is one of the best video-game protagonist.

      I”m planing on replaying the series at some point. You should try Mass Effect: Andromeda.

        I did try Andromeda and loved it so much I got the PSN Platinum trophy, haha. Haters gonna hate, but I’d love to see Andromeda get turned into a trilogy as well.
