I guess MEx will be a prequel (like First Contact War and aftermath) or a spinoff during the Reaper War (e.g. being an (alien) soldier fighting the Reapers on worlds like Palaven etc. or being a mercenary fighting in the Terminus Systems).

I'd like to see how the galaxy develops after the end of ME3, but I think it would be to hard to develop a common story line even for the 3 main endings. They could still use the IT, but that would be too risky imo.

[Josend]

I think that makeing a story after ME3 its going to be complicated. First, because the endings can have so many diferent repercussions that could affect the next game dramatically. Technically, i cant see that happen, unless they make the most complex videgame in history. Secondly, you just defeated the most powerfull and threating enemy the galaxy has ever known. In order for the next games to achieve the same epicness and climax  of the ME trilogy, it would have to invoke a completley new and powerfull enemy and story wise, that could backfire easily.
There are two options in my opinion:
A prequel, perhaps around the First Concact War, or the conflict with the batarians. In the First Conact War, you could be playing as Anderson and at the end, they show you how he meets Shepard. I imagine Anderson in an office or barracks or whatever, and someone enters and goes:
Soldier:"The new recruit has arrived, sir"
Anderson: -(sigh)- "Another one?"
Soldier: "Yes sir, but this is the one that [and here says something of your Shepards background]"
Anderson: "What was his/her name again?"
Soldier: "Shepard sir".
Anderson: -thinks for a moment- "Alright, send him/her in".
And the credits roll.

Another option for the game, could be during the reaper war, but  a story independent from the one with Shepard. Perhaps during this game, you hear the news about Shepard but thats it. THis could involve a lot of diferent scenarios cause the Reaper war took place everywhere, there is a lot to explore in this concept. And the end of the game, it could involve you playing in Earth and the war assets you collected with Shepard, are reflected in this new game, and affect your final battle. And of course, your couldnt choose the end of the game because you already did with Shepard, but you can see how Shepards endings affect this new characters.
This game could be going at the same time as ME3, and the big decisions (curing Genophage, Quarian/Geth War, etc.) that Shepard goes making, affects your game. I think this last idea is the richest one, as you can see how your Shepards decisions go affecting the other parts of the galaxy.

Let me know what you think!

[kavir94]

here is my opinion: you move the universe forward by 20- 30 years. not matter your choices the galaxy rebuilds and is looking forward. (no matter your choice there is no reaper involvment. destroy makes this easy. for control, make a plot point in which shepard took the reapers back to dark space when rebuilding was complete. For synthesis the plot should be that it did not last, something about chemical structure and biology so it wore off.)

the game takes place during a galactic coup. a splinter group led by radical salarian scientists uplift the yahg and try to seize control of the galaxy.
anyways as the game progresses citadel forces turn the tide and are now winning the war. the splinter group located more beacons and conduits and in a last ditch effort to save their plan, they activate the beacons or conduits.
these conduits or beacons are a connection to another galaxy/galaxies, thus a new discovery and also introduce a new enemy greater than before.
by doing this you create this period of wonder, that is our galaxy's first contact. a little bit after introduce a threat even greater than the reapers, adding a twist.

If there was a Mass Effect 4 (4, not a prequel or something) I would say it should be about cleaning up the indoctrinated. Similiar to ME2, you could have indoctrinated sleeper agents that are abducting or posing as a threat, even creating a reaper. You could only import your shepard if you chose a certain ending (no spoilers allowed XD) Maybe if the game just became killing the indoctrinated you could mess around with mercs or something.

It'd be neat if you could pick from a few races for your character, have individual prologues for each like in DA: Origins. I imagine there will be another Mass Effect game, too much money to be made for them to not do it.

[Shobiz1990]

Why don't we have an ME(4) that is not based on ME 1 to 3, but revolves around some historical events mentioned in the game's codex like the Krogan Rebellions, Rachni Wars, Rise of the Alliance etc...

[The Jaberwocky]

I hope there will be a mass effect 4. But for me, it would have to have Shepard and the crew in it, otherwise I probably wouldn't buy or play it for another five years. There's just too much attachment to them, so much I had hoped would be closed by the end of the third game...but wasn't. Bioware's idea of closure is ridiculous, and I would happily buy a second trilogy if they would finish off the story properly. As it is now, I just hope Bioware does recover from all the negative PR they've had lately (cause if no one buys their next game due to the retake stuff, we won't see another bioware mass effect anyway), and that their next game is good. I want them to clear their heads before they take another shot at one of our more beloved series (Mass Effect, Dragon Age...), but if EA starts breathing down their neck the next installment will be out next december.

I totally agree. I just beat the third game a few days ago and it was my first ever Mass Effect game I ever played. Right after I quickly bought the other two games to continue the story for myself. I was very dissapointed in the extended cut ending which brought no justice to the game at all. Lets face it, the ending was bad and we all want to see our characters romance continue, so if the new Mass Effect doesn't include shepard, his crew, and romance, I probaby won't buy it. In terms of the romance ending of ME3 it left much to be desired, and since I am a huge fan of romance I would like to see shepard and his lover together. If they were to satisfy that, then I would be interested in a fourth game, but until then I will have to survive on the fan fiction.<_<

P.S. I think that fans should really start sending in their ideas and forum posts etc. to BioWare. If we all want shepard back we can't just stand around. Im starting my letter today.

I'm thinking the Milky Way galaxy, in it's new golden age whether as complete evolutionized species, having controlled reapers, or a rebuilt peaceful era after the war (depending on your option at the end of ME3) will find a way to travel to another galaxy and either:

-Get caught in their political bs and the things that threaten their galaxy, join them as allies.
-Get caught in their political bs and they become our enemy.

Or they come to our galaxy and wage war.


Or simply explore the other 99% of the galaxy and find new horrors and wonders and maybe even undeveloped races.


Who knows.

But it would be interesting to have our new united galaxy be tested against the strength of another galaxy that never had the reaper threat, therefore being highly developed.

Is it confirmed that ME4 will be in development ?

[Dark_Caduceus]

Oh god please no. It would be like defecating on a corpse, just leave the game alone already. Isn't killing the game enough?

[sweet-d]

Yeah I probably wont buy ME4. But definitely wont buy if it includes Shepard as the main character or even alive. People need to face up to the fact that he/she's dead and how could play ME3 thinking Shepard was gonna make through the ending. Every thing hinted and foreshadowed to a dead Shepard throughout the entire cities. Now if their is an ME4 they just need to start over with a new character or it could be a prequel as long as it has very little to do with Shepard.

[vejn]

Would you like to ME4 become more cyberpunk sci fi rpg?
Or to be left like it is and continue where it ended without Shepard?

I think ME4 needs to have new direction.

Possible continuation:
The war is over; everything can be build from scratch.
new Krogan empire, batarian and turian homeworld exporation...
Story- maybe rebuilding civilization, hunger for power of some races, power up mass relays, investigating source of reapers and proteans,introduction new races, will the cycle continue?
story behinh VI creatures which were been in ME (Virmine)

Don't know id Drew Karpyshyn was in ME3 project but he needs to come for rewriting side quests.

Please, no Mass Effect 4 in the past!!!!!!!! This Games and Movies who are in the past are never better, as in the future. In this case please set the time after Mass Effect 3!!!!

Also there's not very much past to work with. Remember that in the ME universe first contact between humans and turians was only 26 years before ME1. That limits you to already established stories like the First Contact War, finding the Mars Prothean ruins and so on. The background on these events is, I think, a bit too well established for a really big Mass Effect story like we've had with 1-3 and would suffer from the same problem that many prequels have, which is that we already know how the story ends. Take the First Contact War as an example - no matter how good the gameplay might be we already know that the story starts with humans activating a relay, then the turians come and attack the humans, then the humans hit back, then the Council steps in and stops the war. There's the potential for a thousand different little stories in there along the lines of a Mass Effect: Call of Duty type game, but not on the galactic scale of ME1-3 without the risk of a series of ludicrous canon breaking retcons. Better to go after ME3, perhaps with some kind of Firefly-esque independent trader RPG if they can't think of a new widescale threat that some Alliance/Council hero needs to deal with. Just as long as it preserves some freedom to explore the galaxy as the player wishes.

Glad I'm not the only ony who want this. They nailed the multiple prologue concept perfectly in DA: Origins. I think it would be a great idea to implement it into the next Mass Effect. I've wanted to play as a Turian in the campaign since Mass Effect 1 so I'm hopeful that Bioware sees the great system they had in DA: Origins and uses it in Mass Effect 4.

[nekosow333]

''Will there ever be a Mass Effect 4?'' Mass Effect 4 -YES, but with Shepard of course. He is the main character without him everything is crap **** and no one will buy it .BioWare should make the fourth part, because they screwed up with the third part .They have made so many mistakes, that they do not want to admit and say they listen to fans, l do not think so.There are some things acceptable to Mass Effect 3 :
The Battle for Tuchanka and for Rannoch and romance with Tali and Liara.-I prefer with Tali but that's my opinion.

i wish you could play as a quarian in the story or any other spices you want but devenitly a quarian.

[GeorgeCuster]

Sequels would be problematic for obvious reasons. Prequels wouldn't work since ME role in regards to human history isn't that long. The only major conflict they took part is the First Contact War, and I'm using the "major" part rather loosely. And the chances of a game where humans are nonexistent (and be successful) is kinda slim. The only franchise I can think of that does it is BIONICLE, and it's pretty much a glorified toy commercial. Maybe an interquel, like a Halo: ODST type game (Mass Effect: N7). Regardless, just envisioning what the next ME game would be is kind of problematic, for a lack of a better word.

 There is game like this ''Mass Effect:N7''  and the game name is Mass Effect Infiltrator.But game  is on PSP for now.

BioWare Montreal producer Fabrice Condominas confirmed that
while the series will continue beyond the current trilogy, it will be a
completely separate experience.

"There is one thing we are absolutely sure of – there will be no more
Shepard, and the trilogy is over."



I think this is absolute BS!!! Not only did the endings of ME3 suck so bad
they had to do a DLC for it but now they are going to IGNORE one of
the possible endings!? They give us three cookie cutter endings and only
one where Shepard lives but now they have announced that they are going to make
ME4 and that it will have nothing to do with Shepard and that the Trilogy is
over yet they give us the choice to pick a path in which Shepard lives and now
they are telling us that that doesn't matter!? Bioware and EA swear
they listen to their customers and they are full of it!!! They are going
to make another Mass Effect just to make more money and completely IGNORE these
so called "choices" we have had throughout these last 3 games
just like they did with the endings in ME3 how are "choices"
basically added up to nothing at the end of the game and now they are going to
take our final decision and tell us "that doesn't matter either cause even
if you picked the path in which Shepard lives your still not going to get to
play as him in the 4th game."



I think there should be an import option in this 4th game that accounts
for our decisions at the end of ME3 and if you picked the path that Shepard
lives through then that should be taken in to account at the start of ME4 and
you should be able to continue as Shepard!!! I think that is only fair
considering how much Bioware and EA swear they value our input and the choices
we've made throughout the games. If they really listen to us then this should
be a considered and available option in ME4.

I completely agree! I would love to see some actual closure to Shepard and his relationship and the crew. And I have to agree that I probably won't buy ME4 if it doesn't continue with Shepard and crew. I'd welcome a second trilogy if it actually ending the story well. Bioware is gonna have to do something pretty spectacular to recover from all the negative PR cause I have to admit I love the series but hate the ending and I have no problem saying that to anyone who asks me what I think I about the series.

[wildmage03]

 Honestly they really need to go back and finish ME3... the game was epic but the ending just made me feel like they got cheap and let EA control them and just send the game unfinished... I got the perfect Ending I was alive so why couldn't I go explore with Tali and my friends, instead it just left me there in some rubble... -.-

The ME series is the first and only game/series to ever EVER make me actually cry I felt actually connected to all my friends in that game heck I was better friends with the characters in the game then I ever was with my real life Friends

Bioware use to listen to their customers, but EA has gotten control over them... EA is full of BS, they just want money they don't care how good the product is as long as people continue to give them money why should they?

[maurice tali zorah]

i am scared bioware they dont like the quarians how they have showed them in the begining from mass effect 2 and the options you have in mass effect 3 i found they never had to give you the option to let the quarians die.
so i hope that they do a lot nicer to the quarians in the next mass effect.
