Preferred Shepard Backstory:
I’d have to say Colonist. It’s always just felt the most interesting in terms of drama, character depth and tied into the setting. To me, Earthborn has always felt a bit bland and uninteresting in that it almost feels like it plays to the self-insert aspect of Shepard? Meanwhile Spacer feels just a bit too ‘safe’. Meanwhile, the Colonist background ties directly into the Human-Batarian conflict that underlines much of the trilogy and just comes off the most interesting.
I also feel like Colonist can potential tie into one or even both of the other backgrounds, as I went into in my recent ‘Combined Shepard Background’ post.
Virmire – Ashley or Kaiden:
…I feel like these two posts should make my feelings rather clear lol
Every played the multiplayer:
Unfortunately no, and looking back I do wish I’d given it a try at least. A lot of the more unique character abilities/playstyles seem really fun (jetpack turians and teleport spamming biotic ninjas look sick lol)
Funny enough, I’ve had a small side-project going for a while now where I’ve been essentially ‘upgrading’ the main cast circa ME3 with multiplayer abilities. It’s been pretty fun XD
