I'll try to make this as straightforward as possible. I've been thinking a lot lately about Bioware stating that after ME3 they'll still continue to make games set in the ME universe, just not with Shepard as the main char. So this got me to thinking about what sort of a game we can expect and what (if any) crossovers to the original trilogy we could expect?

I'll start the ball rolling by guessing that the game will be set post Reaper invasion and that Shepard's actions saved the galaxy and that regardless of what worlds (if any) were lost, all the major civilisations survived and the tech is going to remain pretty much the same.

So what would you like to see? A game where you have a much more open book on character creation (think Dragon Age Origins), like starting race, gender etc, or would you prefer to be a human again?

Any thoughts and ideas would be cool - and yeah, I know it's a long, long way off but Bioware probably have a fair few ideas that they're not putting into ME3 (because it wouldn't fit Shepard's story) and are already saving up for the next ME game.

So come on, get your thoughts out and your creative juices flowing.

P.S. Apologies if this has been done 100 times before but I've not seen anything like it myself and recent searches haven't come up with anything.

Honestly, I think a Morning War-centered game would probably offer a pretty good story, or the Rachni Wars. Allows for some major points in the ME universe to be fleshed out, and for some more development of the alien races rather than trying to just flesh out the human aspect.

An earlier setting would work too I guess, it did for KOTOR afterall.

I found this a little while ago and thought it might promote some discussion on the topic gamerant.com/mass-effect-4-future-games-dyce-59097/

I would love to see something set during the First Contact Wars with the Turians. With two different playthroughs. One as a Human from their point of view, and the other as a Turian.

[Kaldarm]

It would be cool but if I remember my ME lore, the First Contact War was a relatively brief encounter and would require them to re-write the ME history. It's been done with other games though and getting an up close and personal look at Turian ships and warfare would be great.

I think there should be no games set after the Reaper war. For the simple reason that the ME games will determine how the galaxy looks after the Reapers war, and any game that doesn't adapt to choices made in the ME games will feel foreign.

I think a C-Sec focused game could work. Be a C-Sec agent assigned to take down some mob type boss while working against a corrupt cop, or take the corrupt path yourself. Seems like there could be enough content for side missions. Give us a chance to see more of the Citadel. Maybe have it take place during the events of Mass Effect 1.

its not going to be the same without shepard

[Khaos2000]

Personally, I'd like to see them do an MMO... but then at times I hope they don't because much of what I am seeing for SW:ToR has me less than thrilled so am on the fence with that. As for stuff AFTER ME3? Why not? It doesn't have to be on the same scale. The Reapers aren't likely to be EVERYWHERE at once. It took -centuries- for the Protheans to be wiped out after all so it'd be REAL easy to do games set on a smaller scale. A single planet, or a single cluster.



Those are entire worlds after all, with moons, space stations, etc. Also, judging by ME2, the outcome will be somewhat 'fixed' (Ala the collector base) which was only different based on who survived really.

I don't know, having prequels would be fine, but I really think we should be able to move on past the "Shepard Trilogy" it seems kind of goofy that after the events of ME3 that the whole universe would just "stop". Although some people wouldn't like it, they should establish some kind of post-Shepard "canon", at least so we can have some progression. After all, the only prequel that could involve humans would be the First Contact War anyways. (I understand that some wouldn't mind not having humans in a ME game, but it would seem strange to me without them.)

I'd like to see a "Mass Effect: Origins" style of game where you can choose which species to play. That would be awesome. So would a First Contact War game. I would be happy if my turian character just got to speak with Saren and his brother.

They've introduced some awesome races, may as well tell some stories from their perspectives. There's a lot of potential right there.

I would play a lot of turians, a few characters from each of the other species options, and an asari who never flirts with anyone. We can only hope.

That's why I'd like the option, to make it happen. Because we all know it hardly ever happens otherwise.

It would be funny if you played as an asari and there would be people that if you talked to would assume you were hitting on them and then you could be like "Dude stfu I just want to know what's going on"

That would be great. It would confuse everyone when she turns them down too.

Human Male: "Wait you're not trying to hook up with me?"

Asari: "No"

HM: "Then get the hell outta here!"

[Kim Shepard]

I'd like to see that, and then a Renegade interrupt option to intimidate the information out of him. xD

[Leonia]

Ha, that would be fun.



I'd like to play just an average character, maybe a female turian scientist just beginning to make her mark in the galaxy.

[Kim Shepard]

My first character would be an awesome male turian biotic. I have him all planned out.

[yesikareyes]

I would want the next installment to be set after the Reaper war. I do wish that they wouldn't set the timeline 400-1000 years into the future because Bioware has already created a universe filled with characters and events that have reached a substantial depth. To start from scratch and disregard all that just seems wrong. I'm not saying it has to be Shep and his gang again, it could be an entirely different team like 10-15 years from now. A time when we can still see the aftermath of our efforts from the past trilogy.



I can't bear to lose my Shep but if he has a cameo then that would be good enough for me. Unless fans really want him, Bioware would make the nest installment like J.J Abram's reboot of Star Trek wherein the Reapers go back in time and kills Captain Anderson thus Shep wouldn't be in the Alliance or something but I doubt that would happen OR they go back in time to kill Shep and so another hero emerges.



I would go for this kind of plot Shep passed away years ago from old age or he died in one of his missions. New character served under his command and decides to avenge his death and face the new big threat. This way you get to meet Shep's old squadmates and maybe you get the aging Thane to fight with you and stuff. Sorry if I'm rambling

[Kaldarm]

The way I see it, they can't set it up to have TOO many character links with the trilogy - there are just too many ways it could pan out at the end of ME3 and you have to assume that even if Shepard doesn't die at the conclusion (which I think is unlikely), then they couldn't include a meeting with him/her as you'd have to establish at the start of the game whether the player wanted a male or female and that's only for a cameo, so I think it's safe to say that Shep won't be appearing.

In fact, it's going to be hard to have any character cross-over as you can get most of them killed at the conclusion of ME2 and that's without what might happen in ME3. Some characters that probably can be carried over (unless their world/Citadel gets destroyed) might be the Consort, Udina, Ariala (as let's face it, Omega wouldn't be a priority target for the Reapers) and quite a few other bit-part characters but it's unlikely that Bioware would put in any of Shep's crew as let's face it, it wouldn't be right for the universe that each player had experienced in the trilogy. I'm not saying I don't want to see it, I'd love to, I just think it's unlikely.

For me personally, I'd prefer it if they set it post Shepard as then all the actions I'd taken to save the galaxy would actually mean something, so in a way, it's still continuing the story, just with a different hero

That sums up exactly what I wanted in one sentence. Doesn't everyone else agree?

[Lee337]

I'd like something based far away from Sheps story but still in a world shaped by his actions. I don't think it'll be likely though, it would probably just reference them vaguely. Too many choices for a save import into a brand new game if Bioware are planning to go wild on the choices in ME3.
