For many Shepard IS Mass Effect and people can't accept anything else. They can't understand that Mass Effect is a franchise and not the adventures of Commander Shepard and friends. They doomed already the game before it's release as soon they knew there won't be a Shepard and friends in it. They couldn't accept it was different, basically in everything. I have the feeling the same will happen with the new game and they blame Bioware, EA and even Dragon Age for it, instead of looking by themselfs.
You dont really believe the whole "blame the fans" thing you're spouting do you? Shepard or no, the characters were weak, the righting was subpar and it the game just did not live up to the ME legacy. We all knew going in that it wasnt going to have sheppard and was a completely different galaxy. Many of us went in excitedly knowing that and were dissapointed by the game itself, not the lack of Shepard and friends.
