Key figure.
Through his Twitter profile, the Lead Designer of Mass Effect Andromeda revealed that we will also hear the Commander Shepard, protagonist of the first trilogy of Mass Effect.
Mac Walters lets know that Shepard is a key figure in the universe of Mass Effect pre 2185 (year in which the story of the new episode takes place) and certainly there will be quotes, mentions and references to this character. Walter recently revealed new details about the races and love relationships between the game's heroes.
We remember that Mass Effect Andromeda is still lacking a release date, the launch is set for spring 2017.
