Well established characters ruined by new material

[Mutant Screg]

Commander Shepard in Mass Effect

It's hard to say anything about a player character being established, but the first game established that Shepard:
a) has a brain
b) knows how to use it (most of the time)
c) actually has some influence over the course of events

Second game kinda killed all of this. Third is just going with the flow.

OT but what is your profile pic from? The art style looks familiar.
