The original trilogy is dead to them. They've done all they can to distance themselves from it.what i'm hoping for and it's a big hope: that at the end of this game, they have us come back to our galaxy, and we find out that the ending for part 3 was indoctrination for shepard....in the next game, we end up battling a reaper 'shepard' while trying to rescue the real one....and in the 3rd game: we finally get to battle the reapers, especially harbinger...been wanting to fukk him up since me2...
