well for male-shep the only possibilities are Ashley, Jack, and Liara

Jack likely won't want kids
Ashely probably eventually maybe
Liara's kids would just be Asari (which isn't a bad thing but kinda defeats the "sheps kid" thing)

Femshep can have kids with
Kaiden
Jacob

that's IT.

too limited..too cliche...would cause too many complaints if we're shoe-horned into a "canon" love-interest


Technically Femshep could also have a kid with Liara.


umm... not without some really extraordinary intervention. We've seen Liara naked. She really doesn't have the equipment for that feat.

To have a sequel with a child would be enforcing a canon of some sort. And I really don't want to play as the child of Jacob, Kaidan, Ashley, and especially Liara.



After Mass Effect 3 find a new protagonist far, far away from Shepard and Co.

In the way that FemShep is the "father" and not the mother, Liara having the kid

Actually it could be as easy as choosing from a list as part of character creation. Different partners just give a different bonus skill. Parents should not be part of the story, that just gets messy which is probably why we never get the option to visit mom.

there will be no Mass effect 4, there are going to be other Mass effects but the trilogy is over. I'm hoping for something that will let me play as something besides those disgusting humans!

The whole "humanity" thing is annoying. I want to play as a Quarian!

The design of ME "chatty protagonist" means there is only ever going to be one character. I'd certainly favour something more DA which allows a number of varied protoganists. But thats at the cost of them being "chatty".

So be it, I would rather explore the other races instead of having a chatty human, besides I think BW could pull it off

Works fine in Dragon Age. The only other difference is that the character will always be refered to by a title rather than name. In DA you are always addressed as "Warden" or sometimes by your race.

There is so much they can do with the ME universe it would be a shame not to explore it, BW Austin is making a fully voiced MMO, so I don't think it is unreasonable if they took 2-3 years to make a ME rpg where you could choose between at least 5 of the races,

This.

Shepard is probably my favorite protaganist of any video game I've ever played. But if the Mass Effect universe lives on beyond the Shepard trilogy, and I hope it does, it should have a new protaganist that is completely unrelated to Shepard. It is a big universe with billions of people living in Citadel Space. It would be a bit silly to have that universe's heroes always come from a single family.

That, and some of the romance options are incapable of producing children. Male Shep cannot have children with Tali because she's a different species. The same holds true for Fem Sheps that romanced Garrus or Thane.

I support this idea! You could ask dada for advice on your quest and maybe he can save your ass once!

The only downside in the "children of hero as a character" story, is that the parents, no matter how badass they are/were, always seem to get kidnap without fighting back or kill of screen with no real explanation.

I hope not - this is not an interstellar soap opera :)



I hope there will be a brand new character, new adventures, etc. But I hope, if there will be ME4, it will check your ME3 saves like Dragon Age 2. Not every decision but the main picture about the galaxy Shepard left behind.



And I also think we will meet major characters again in cameo roles, you will meet Shepard's ex-squadmates. For example:



Liara - she is young, she can live a thousand years, and she is the Shadow Broker now

Wrex - he is not so young but I think he can live a few more centuries :)

Tali - an old Tali could be an admiral or politian of the quarian people

Garrus - he could be a very experienced and feared spectre at this time, or a general of the turian fleet



Or you should meet not squadmate characters also, for example:



The Illusive Man - humans can live longer at this time and I think TIM has a few tricks to extend his life (from the Lazarus project for example)

EDI and the Normandy - if survives the ME3, EDI+Normandy could be also a "recurring character" in ME4

Aria - she is also an asari, not young but not too old now, and Omega has a huge importance in the galaxy



So, there are plenty of options to use a lot of characters from ME1-3, I don't think there is a need to a direct connection with Shepard.

And of course if this will be a Mass Effect - The Next Generation maybe you can meet with your old Shepard also if ME4 can load your ME3 savegames.



For example Shepard is an admiral now, and he is the one who gives orders to you. Or he is the human concilor of the new council, probably a much wiser figure than the old council. :)

If it comes to that, I will play the d#mn game and enjoy it. Probably not the back story of it, but if it is BioWare ME, it would need to be really bad for me not to buy it. (No, i would buy it anyway...)

But really i want to play as Geth. That would add just too many humoristic situations with out even trying.

Also, if you encourage Garrus to "forget the rules, just get the job done" possibly in ME4 Garrus is quite renegade and you may be forced to fight him. I think it would be an interesting turn of events.

I don't mind the protagonist connection. But I really think ME4 needs to get out somewhere unexplored and introduce some new stuff, or its just the same old races, which we have had for 3 games.



Take a leaf out of Stargates book and travel a bit.

If Bioware were to create other Mass Effect games beyond the Shepard trilogy, a great way to maintain a link between the two stories would be to use Liara. Assuming she survives Mass Effect 3 she could live on to remain the Shadow Broker for another 1,000 to 1,500 years.
 
As such even in a story set 500 or 1,000 years after the events of Mass Effect 3, Liara would be one of the most important people in the galaxy and a possible source of information for the new protagonist.

Shepard could have kids by other means than LIs, you know.



Manshep:

Sell his manseed for top dollar and make a fortune while "having" several children.



Femshep:

Buy manshep's manseed.



Either:

Adopt.

A more likely avenue for a Shep-descendant would be if TIM swiped a few cells early in Project Lazarus and grew a clone, just in case the whole re-animation thing didn't work out.



It's not like any gamer with anything resembling a sense of taste actually went through with any of this "romance" claptrap...

Had the "hardware" been important, the Asari would've died out long ago. Learn to mass effect.

@OP, I don't want a sequel with shepard's kid as the main character, that would just be embarassing. I would however, like it if shepard ended up having a child by the end of 3, i think it would be sweet, especially if Shep ends up dying. and to the "Miranda can't have kids" argument? My best friend was naturally born to an "infertile" mother. the science here is never 100%
