i believe there should be although shepard may be dead the impact he/she made on the galaxy both big and small will still be there and eveyone has to deal with it for better or worse and it'd be cool if we could choose to play as a council race as well as a human to add more to the game! it would be badass to play as an asari spectre who proved herself against reaper forces or a turian officer and so on

[natalie7]

im agree with blader5990 i hope our saves from all mass effect games will be affect in me4 (if they make this game)

[agentN7]

Ok i'll put up my idea. Natalie i think you'll maybe be ok with the idea, and it includes Shepard being the main character....in a future game where he is alive regardless of what choice you chose at the end. I'd like feedback from anyone who reads it, regardless of whether you like it or not.

At the beginning of 'Mass Effect 4' we see the Grandfather and grandson sitting in front of the moon, or simply just going fishing during the day. The child says '"Grandad, you said you would tell me another story about the Shepard"


What this in effect does is leave Mass Effect and shepards journey open to fact or myth. Even in human history people don't know which story to believe with regards to certain events. So ME 1,2 and 3 would be one story believed about Shepard as told to the child by his Grandfather, and Mass Effect 4, 5 and 6 could be about the other storys believed about Shepard as told to the the grandchild when he askes for another story about 'the Shepard', as The Grandfather and grandson could be living many years after the events Shepard was involved in.

The new Mass effect could see Shaepard fighting completely different threats with a completely different team, and he could live on a completely different place.


I think this simple idea would make the game stronger, and add a bigger fanbase and appease loads of people who would otherwise be divided.


It's not different fro a modern day context where people read different storiies about Jesus or the Roman Empre for example.

yes i heard the conversation between child and his grandfather and that means this scene is many years after shepard and i understood that scene but . bioware can make me4 (about after destroying reapers not in the time that crazy child and his grandfather are living) they dont need to start me4 story in many times after me3 ending .. if there will be me4 i like to see shepard in that or if there wont be shepard i want to see  characters
 like liara,kaidan and joker in that game ..:happy: so other people may have diffrent idea ..some people want me4 without shepard..and maybe somepeople are agree with me idont know  now we dont know anything about me4..maybe we should wait and see whats bioware opinion and what they will do..

I think it's a clever idea, but it still has the issue of "if shepard is dead or not", because i doubt that someone would tell a story unless there was probable cause that it was true, unless it takes place before ME3, where it might be easier to just pull off a prequel, and telling the story from the future as a legend seems a little too like a fantasy story for the sci-fi universe of Mass Effect. Although Bioware might be able to pull it off.

As for Shepard or the crew, I personally think that the Normandy is as important as Shepard. Perhaps, since it is an Alliance vessel, ME4 could follow a new crew and commander (maybe in a Normandy SR-3 or SR-4), but could still have some of the squadmates in a ME2-Wrex-and-Liara kind of way.

I was thinking that the issue of Shepard being dead or not would be negated because it would allow his story continue regardless of what happened in ME3. For example,  did Nero really burn Rome ?..different films offers different peoples perspectives. I myself thought they would be better moving on and starting with a new team, but if it was a straight option between continuing Shepards story(which they won't) or wars connected to the original titles, i'd continue with Shepards story shared in a different light(which would never happen). The slight issue is that Bioware say there are loads and loads of back catalogue stories to chose from, but exactly how many can you chose when one ME comes out every 2 years. Will gamers continue to buy these titles as they could be thinking to themselves whilst playing ME4 'don't worry, it will be alright as i know you survive because you joined my team to fight the collectors or reapers".


My idea is a bit far fetched, and it certainly won't happen as the makers of the game will want a new challenge. Infact they as good as said before Mass Efect 3 came out that the next installment will be a story from the back catalogue.


We will see what happens. The main reason i think it's worth talking about is because Mass Effect has to sell well in order to continue - the main game and not dlc -. If the wrong choice is made it could be curtains, and maybe any decision on future titles should take this into consideration as EA strike me as people who wouldn't heistate to grind the axe is the sales didn't reflect it's previous titles.

I like the idea 
either way I like to see more mass effect with my femshep

[Jabawork]

As long as they won't make Mass effect a MMORPG, I will be ok with anything that BioWare make

[zk0729]

At risk of being jumped at for bringing up a ME MMO, why are so many people against it? Its not like you HAVE to buy it...
Edit: An MMO for the fourth entry.

I´d love to see more Shepard although i dont think its likely BW will go there, unfortunately! I have such an emotional attachment to my femshep that i´d love to have alot more adventures with her. I do believe that there will be more games in the ME universe. The Mass Effect name is just too big for BioWare and especially EA to leave it at 3 games! And i´ll be there, huge grin on my face! Oh damn just take my money lol

[natalie7]

I agree with you

[Yusan]

If there will be ME4 I hope we'll see Garrus and Miranda in it
Edit: Also I hope that it will continue with Shepard, I know this is most unlikely, but it would be good.

[Consuela69]

I sincerely hope that ME4 is a continuation of ME3, with Shepard and the original crew, there was just to many plot holes in the ending, even with the extended cut...

Especially if Shepard survived.

[smithy1259]

 I'd like a game after the trilogy. I think it'd be good to include shepard in some way. eg if using control ending shepard is the players starship, or shepard makes a cameo if destroy is chosen

[jackass14]

Why not a complete custom character- drell, asari.krogan...And mass effect 4 goes with a save from 3?I mean the ending you have chosen make a difference?I would love to play a sintesys drell assassin :Too much?:

[valkatr0n]

I think Bioware and EA could createa Mass Effect 4, were the story start at the end of Mass Effect 3 (were Shepard as to decide of a choice) . Shepard hears a voice that tells him he has another choice and it's to change history. While the catalyst is mentioning choices he can make. He see a form appear, a kind of indefinite shape, not very clear, a kind of ghost who explains that he is the ''first'', foremost, before léviatans. He feels that confidence and antity when making a choice, antity tell him not to be afraid, he will not die. Shepard says he trusts him and when Shepard pass to action and this can in any direction, it disappears with antity and finds himself before the first contact war, can long before the discovery of the link between galaxy (MASS EFFECT). He lost part of his memory and recover his memories bit by bit. He is young officer or soldier who must work with a certain Anderson to go investigate a machine (structure) which was previously enormous hidden by interference and that is to be human (the relay: Mass Effect). This structure does not work ... later with scientists who have been placed on a temporary pluto base or Charon, the relay is switched on and then will be the first contact with Garus's race and war of the first contact.entity informs Shepard that he must follow a route that will lead with Anderson and others to seek information on the ''FIRST'' and to prevent the arrival of the reappers.

Set ME 4 after the Reaper invasion and have the starting exactly like ME1 where you looking out the window and here Udina, Anderson and Admiral Hacket talking about selecting you for a mission.
I.e. a new hero.....
Except this time is Hacket, Shepard and the new ambassador etc. Take the RED / Destroy ending as the new canon and have Shepard appear like Hacket - scared, broken ( eye or leg etc) and taking a desk-side / Captain Anderson / strategic role.
In short Shepard survived but barely (no further explanation needed).....insert guest characters cautiously (E.g.a cut scene of Shapard’s love interest and Shep talking or the LI berating Shep for going hard on the new hero /rookie etc) as appropriate.
In this way you can start a new story but 'close the book' at the same time.

I like the first part, I think if they started the game with an alliance admiral set to choose a new captain/commander for a ship that would be a great way to choose your character, and would give the game a lot of playthrough. Ideally for me it would be a universe where the alliance directly employ aliens, such is the standing/respect they have after the reaper war. So you get to choose a human, turian or drell as your character, and thats what the admiral picks. Also, the ship should be something new, like a dreadnought to spend your time on, there would still be the citadel of course but this would give you two hubs at least. A huge dreadnought with bars, shops and virtual golf  the enemy for me wouldn't be anything to do with the reapers, but a batarian warlord who kidnaps liara as he wants to gain control of her shadow broker network and wreaks havoc with other species trying to ignite old conflicts. The story can still be compelling if a few lives are directly at risk, although if the post-reaper war peace is at threat from this evil man, even better. 
I think the only way I could see BW doing a prequel is if it was half the size of the 3 games made so far. If they did that then brought out ME4 not long afterwards they could win a lot of fans back imo.

[HBI6969]

I did everything perferctly my Shepard lived but i did notice one thing after the credits it showed a cutscene of a boy talking to his grandfather and he asked to hear another story of the Shepard the grandfather says, "ok just one more" meaning that something else happened with shepard involved watch it for yourself

[PsiFive]

HBI6969, mate, probably everyone already knows that but all the same that's a pretty big ME3 spoiler to drop in a ME1&2 No Spoilers forum.

[JackN7]

My hope is that we see a ME4 that concludes directly after ME3, and that Bioware goes back to it's roots and it's a real RPG with the focus on the story rather than brainless shooting. Even if it meant plot holes from bridging the endings to the new game or having to always choose a certain ending (don't want to spoil). I just want it dammit.

I don't see a reason that they could not do an alternate universe game like they do with comics. They can do the current mass effect and an alternative one that is a more planned out and more insular.

[dedicance]

i was disappointed with the endings of mass effect 3 and i never understood how the reapers reach our galaxy i mean if they were able to so anyways then mass effect 1 and 2 were for nothing...

[PsiFive]

They reached the galaxy in ME2 Arrival by 'normal' FTL space travel. The Bahak system is right on the edge of the galaxy, closest one with a relay to the Reapers dark space resting area. So they were already here by the time ME3 begins, it just took them the time between ME2 and the beginning of ME3 to reach the relay network and then to Earth. Kenson herself said that - carefully avoiding being spoilery in this forum - the solution used in Arrival would only delay the Reapers 6-12 months as they would reach the Bahak system during Arrival no matter what.
