Sounds like this...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_Effect:_Paragon_Lost

Not exactly inspiring. Paragon Lost is the retelling of James Vega's story during ME2.

Rumor has it this new project will be make use of the "choose your own adventure" format that Netflix has used in the past allowing you to go paragon or renegade in the story. Seems overly ambitious for something away from the OT narrative. 

Give me 10 episode live action series about the Normandy crew GD!

This is all I want. Give me Emilo Esteves or Carlos Esteves as The Illusive Man, while we're at it...

Which is also funny because I feel like I just read an article on IGN or something about how a Mass Effect movie or show was DOA.

I've read the movie is DOA, but the show concept is starting to pick up steam...

https://www.ign.com/articles/mass-effect-project-teased-by-henry-cavill

A few months back, Henry Cavill (who is no stranger to video game-to-TV adaptations) posted a cryptic Insta, referencing another project... which was quickly decrypted as a primer on Mass Effect 3, which was further interpreted as Cavill attached to another video game vehicle.

I don't know if I'd like him as Shepard (I think going with Femshep would be a better attempt in gaining new eyes on the story) but I'm not going to hate him as Shep if this is the case (I think he'd be a GREAT Garrus, though).

I like how you gender bend Udina, I think this works especially if you have a femshep lead. 

Florence has a resting mean face and I just don't want Tali to have that. I picture a live action Quarian to have a more see through face mask than in the games. 

Palicki for Ashley is interesting, but with Chastain as FemShep the optics might be weird. Adrianne has 7 inches on Jessica lol

Good little details. You nailed my thinking on Udina.

The Palicki note IS interesting. I don't even remember why I picked her now, as I didn't like it when I reposted this.

I get your point about the "see-through mask". I think I am still operating on it not happening for the most part. It's working in the Mandalorian fine.

Man, I think you nailed these bolded ones. The Anthony Starr one is VERY intriguing to me.

any live action adaptation that gets to the Rannoch mission and DOESNT do the face reveal the game should have... I think I will just rage forever. 

Interesting little debate, who do you kill off? Just the ones that always die no matter what? Your Kaiden/Ashley, Thane, and Morinth/Samara. Technically there IS a way to save Mordin; if you kill Wrex on Vormir and hide the shroud sabotage when Mordin figures it out you can convince him that under Wreav (Wrex's brother)'s rule the Krogan Rebellions will start all over again. Instead of curing the genophage he disappears and fakes his death. 

I think you gotta mix it up between paragon and renegade choice in an adaptation so I would go like this:

 Save the Rachnii Queen

Kill whoever the opposite gender is between Kaiden/Ashley (IE Femshep saves Kaiden)

Dont kill Wrex on Vormire 

Propose Udina for the counsel

Save Maelon's data but kill Maelon

Pick Samara HOWEVER I think Morinth should escape the encounter and show up during the ME3 Ardat-Yakshi mission.

Activate Legion

Release Grunt

Destroy Geth Heretics

For the Suicide Mission I feel like you HAVE to kill off some peeps, and I nominate Miranda, Jacob, Samara, Zaeed, Kasumi and Kelly because they have limited to no role in ME3 outside of some side missions. As an aside, you could consider combining Kelly and Traynor into one character in which case let that amalgamation live. 

At grissom academy I think you save Jack but her students are captured so she jets off to rescue them but you find her indoctrinated and you have to kill her when you attack the Cerebus base for the prothean VI data. 

On Tunchunka you go full paragon, hid the sabotage at first but when Mordin figure it out cop to it and help him actually cure the genophage, he dies as usual with Wrex and Eve living. 

Take the shot to kill Udina

During the Ardat-Yakshi mission, have Morinth show up to save her sisters instead of Samara (even if you choose Morinth in ME2 she doesnt show up here). Have Morinth and her surviving sister show up during the final assault in London as transformed reaper banshees. 

On Rannoch, unite the Geth and Quarians. Legion still dies uploading the code. 

Kill the Rachni Queen the second time around and save Grunt and his squad. 

I would redesign the final Crucible scene. Instead of the three way conversation being a precursor to the decision, have Shepherd, Anderson, and Illusive Man all hear the Catalyst's spiel. Get rid of Synthesis. Have Shepherd do the renegade option of not being able to make that kind of massive choice. Illusive Man goes for the control terminal, Anderson tries to stop him, take a bullet, and Shepherd kills Illusive Man. Anderson's dying words are to destroy the Reapers and Shepherd makes that choice for his long time mentor.
