Cool idea, setting it way into the future. You could play as Sheps son lol. Lets face it hes been around abit when would you base it? and what would it be about?

[MisterDyslexo]

I'd like to see ME live on. Since ME3 is the end of Shepard's story, we would need a new protagonist. If we leave Shepard in the middle off a Reaper-conflict, then we could get a new protagonist with all the decisions we made in the previous games as Shepard. Continuing the effects of the choices, maybe even meet some of the characters Shep knew

An RTS game set in the mass effect universe would be good idea I think.

Maybe they could do that for the First Contact War. It'd be an unintentional Halo Wars knockoff though

[stormx2233]

Oww, I like that idea, leaveing Shep to deal with the Reapers, and get someone else in to carry on with somthing else.. Good idea MisterDyslexo. But I do think they will start a new game in a different time, like the Krogan rebelion or the First Contact wars.

On that note, who even said that he has to die inME3. Maybe if the next game is going on at the same time, Shepard may still be aliive. Maybe even how you made him a paragon/renegade affect him as an npc maybe

I would hope if ME 3 is the true ending of Shepard's story that Bioware does not do the utter crappy bull sh*t that Bungie did with ending Halo 3

[ThatDancingTurian]

I think ME3 should be the end of Shepard's story (as I believe it was stated to be), but I definitely want more Mass Effect. Preferably set in the distant future, not during or close to the time frame of the first three. The big issue is coming up with a threat that's as epic as the Reapers but still sounds believable, while not invalidating Shepard's struggle during ME1-3.

I love the Mass Effect universe. It has incredible potential for stories about and beyond that of Commander Shepard.

The way I understand it, Mass Effect was written to be a game trilogy. Sequels have been planned ahead of time, not slapped together to capitalize on past success. It will end when it is supposed to end. At the very least, that should apply to Shepard's story. It's the literary and artistic high ground.

However, video games are a commercial art, so I doubt ME3 will be the end. I wouldn't mind if it were though, as it would forever remain one of the most celebrated game series of all time in my mind. But at the very least, I believe Shepard's story should end with the 3rd game. He doesn't necessarily have to die, but he should no longer be the main character. He is after all, only human. Humans age. The series could go elsewhere. Though it's hard to imagine something that could top the threat of the reapers.




and here is a ninja.

[MisterDyslexo]

They need a coup d'etat to set the mass effect series to the end. I think that while there is so much more potential, there should only be maybe two more games. Play as somebody different in the fourth one, right where ME3 ends. Maybe even get shepard in the game (the end of his story may just mean you playing as him) as an NPC with your previous chocies affecting aspects of the game. Like maybe you be an ordinary soldier, and your job is affect by whether he's a Sole Survivor, War Hero, or Ruthless. If he's a war hero, he'd be right there with you, if a ruthless, he'd leave you to impossible odds

I was thinking about this last night, and I thought that a game set during the prothean war. The last time the reapers came, yeah ok they will in the end all die. But think about the war that went on during the time they were being wiped out. And you would also get an insight into the ME world.

This would actually be really cool because assuming the reapers are stopped in whatever game (i think it'd be very disappointing to play all this just for the reapers to inevitably win, even though thats probably most dramatic) you'd get to see how they work. We heard some stuff from Vigil about what was going on (the fighting, huntingg of survivors, indoctrination of prisioners, etc) and it'd be really cool to see play out in the game (especially if you could make choices). I know the ending is set, but that hasn't stopped games before (halo Reach) from being really good

[Breakdown Boy]

How about the Rachni war or the Krogan rebellions! THose could be cool extensions of the genre, like Spectres of the Old Council?

Just a quick one, Im just sat here thinking, would I want ME3 to be the end of the ME games? So I thought I would open it up and ask all the other fans as well.

Do you want ME3 to be the end of it all, or would you want it to be more like ME2 almost like a side quest before the reapers come and kick the collective ass that is our galaxy? (and if they do Im sure the Council will still say they are geth lol)

I want the "Reaper Invasion" plot to end with ME3. I also want ME3 to be the last game featuring Commander Shepard as the protagonist. But there are so many possibilities for other stories, featuring other characters. There's also the possibility for a follow-up plot featuring some kind of Reaper legacy - if their existence served an important purpose, for instance, and now that they're gone.... Anyway, I definitely want to to visit the ME universe again.

I would want to know how things go after the Reaper invasion, but for that, I guess they'd have to make a canonical ending, which many players who'd played for a different one would not like. On the other side, I can envision an ending where the Paragon and Renegade decisions don't make that much of a difference on the the global scale, or long-term, but only for the immediate role of humanity within the conglomerate of species in Citadel Space for a limited time of, say, 200 years. New stories could be told set farther into the future, which I would like. I'm not so excited at the prospect of exploring the past. After all, we do know how that ended. Except for the Protheans. I want to know more about them and decipher more of their mysteries.

What would be awesome is to play a Prothean by the end of their existence.
Discovery of the reapers and their dark over 9000 plan, trying a desperate counter before realising it's too late. Trying to escape from an inevitable doom in a great representation of the apocalypse. Terminating with wrecked ships in space, supernovas and exploded planets, a off-voice telling stuff about galaxy's last hope, and the final picture: the Eden Prime beacon.
That would be genius.
Plus, the protheans look awesome.

If we want a post-ME thing, I'd say something about the future of geth and the Quarians. Maybe even play Legion several decades after ME3 for example. Even several centuries.

I was thinking that after ME3, wouldn't it be cool if they did a collection of missions throughout the history of the ME universe? Think of the possibilities: the Rachni Wars, the Krogan Rebellions, the Geth Incursion and Quarian Exodus, maybe the last stand of the Protheans, Spectre missions. Maybe even a chance to experience what happened with Saren and Anderson. I, for one, know I'd love to get a chance to play as Nihlus.

Of course I don't want it to be the end. I never want it to be the end. I want unlimited content and for the game to respond to my thoughts.

respond to my thoughts lol

[JohnnyBeGood2]

I would like the ME universe to continue.. but I'd be disinterested and lose interest if the quality fell away and they started filling the universe with amorphous and interchangable content that you might find in any other sci-fi genre, or if you found game mechanics you might find in any other game... Bioware rpg and the ME universe as they are are excellent.. I expect the quality to continue.

[Elyvern]

My only concern is they decide to develop the ME universe pre-Shepard...unless it's within those 30 years after first contact and before Shepard's arrival, there wouldn't be any human beings. I'm honestly hardpressed to find a SF game where you don't get the "human" baseline experience. That may actually alienate a good number of players.



If the ME universe is developed post-Shepard, humanity is in such a strong position, and Shepard such a legendary figure, it's likely we'll keep getting those two facts shoved in our faces.

Straight up I'll express my fear of derivative content (if that wasn't already obvious)

ah yes. "canon".... I'd like to dismiss that requirement.

It'd be good if humanity was "advanced" but not "dominant" I find that cliched. Shep as a legend is ok...

Really what I want to see is that nothing really changes after the reapers. Shepard goes off and lives with his LI, or stays in the Alliance, or cerberus. Humans dont get insane power because one man did something. It just kinda folds back into whatever was before.

As for my ME3 end, well Id like to think that Shepard is thought to be dead after the final battle, only a few close people know shes alive, and she goes off and lives out the rest of her life, just doing what she enjoys.

[Kavadas]

I hope ME3 is the end of Shepard. As others have mentioned he'll have accomplished so much and upping the ante with each game will continue to bloat the storyline into more and more fantastical, and unrealistic, ways.

I'd like to see something a lot more personal in a new Mass Effect series. Like a regular Joe in the Alliance military attaining N7 Special Forces status and rolling from there. Pure Alliance storyline, deal with some separatists or rebels or something... maybe something Civil War-esque. Or perhaps a council race will outright declare war on humanity and it deals with that.

So something a little less "space opera" and a lot more "hard science fiction" for a new series would be ideal for me.

It would be kind of cool if the new series was a few decades after the current ME series and Shep is on the council or something.  Make him to the new character what Andersen was to Shepard.

[Elyvern]

The other thing about a post-Shepard universe is BW is likely to canon-ise Shepard's status for the sake of a "factual universe" that they can work from.



I have a very strong feeling that one of the options at the end of ME3 will be allowing Shepard to die, yes, he wins the reaper war, but he can die. What better way to go out with a bang? He could also choose to retire, disappear from the face of the galaxy, join the council, return to the Alliance.



Which ever outcome BW choose as canon for future stories will probably be met with outrage by fans, heh.

The turians kind of did--for about three months, at least. How about reliving the First Contact War/Relay 314 Incident? Maybe from both sides of the conflict. Then you could go back in time and fight in other aforementioned massive conflicts that are iconic in the ME storyline. It could be called something like "Mass Effect: Legacy," maybe sort of like Star Wars: Battlefront. I think fans would quickly get over the fact that they probably wouldn't be playing humans all that much.

[Flamewielder]

As was made clear in published interviews with Mass Effect designers and Bioware executives, ME3 will be concluding Shepard's story arc. Other games and products using the ME IP will focus on new characters, with possible non-RPG spin-offs similar to Halo Wars (RTS) being licensed to BW partners (such as Obsidian, for example).



Even if Shepard eliminated the Reapers in ME3, the ME universe still has plenty of opportunities for development.

[stormx2233]

So many great ideas, I love the idea of playing as Legion in the futre. (giom's idea). And I love the idea of playing as a prothean. We all know ME3 will be the last game playing as shep, and we all know that the ME Uni will carry on. As lets face it its too good and makes them to much money for them to just let it go.



The idea of playing again as a human in the Alliance, I think its to close to the Shep story, good idea, but too soon. lol
