Finish Mass Effect 3.

Then after the reapers are beaten (which is the only way ME 4 can happen). A new hero is born, in MORPG format. Were we can battle each other in space ships and boarding parties. The council vs the terminus systems and the krogan vs everyone- because they like it. The first MMORPG that allows players to build their own ships with crew and blow the hell out of each other that doesn't suck - since BioWare likes to make things go BOOM rather than make a story. Oh and a fully playable citadel where one player if they are cunning enough can close the arms- making every NPC try to kill them but still it would be fun. With reapers appearing in missions that players form fleets to go kill. The most important thing of all though.

FINISH MASS EFFECT 3 FIRST!


How about an MMORPG in FPS format? Brilliant!

I see lots of constant references to ages past left intentionally vague so that they won't have to make it match your choices in the original trilogy. I foresee a game about a conflict between species who haven't seen each other for hundres of years or something along those lines. Not really much chance of raising the stakes higher than the Reapers though. Probably themes along the lines of recovering the lost, exploration, and mystery.

I remember when Halo was going to just be a trilogy... But at least the ending didn't suck.

I like the idea of more Shepard, maybe set some years after the events of ME3 (with a fixed ending) where dark energy is linked to a new adversary for the galaxy.

In fact to easily expand on races etc they could find like a new large mass relay on the edge of the galaxy that is for transportation between galaxies.

Another RPG, set 20 years after the destruction of the Mass Relays. Mostly takes place on a recovering Earth, and you have this kind of 'Wild West' vibe going as various organizations and races struggle to pick up the pieces. There's some sort of adventure you can make out of that.

Nah It'll be a shooter only, set on earth in the early 21st century pre first contact. It'll be between rival human groups and bounce around the globe. A slow motion pistol scene at the end, lots of 'splosions and bombastic music as well, and they'll ditch that useless "choice" element.

Or they could just finish ME3

I'd never be able to play a prequel with such a depressing ending. I'd always have that weird feeling in my gut. Playing a sequel taking X amount of years after the event wouldn't be bad though.

No deep space travel... so probing Uranus will probably be one of the most exciting things we can do for a while.

Without a mass relay network I am not sure.

Next ME is going to be a FPS I bet. The FPS is a huge market, and if you look at the progression of the mass effect series the RPG elements were slowly phased out (Although in bioware's defense, they reintroduced some after complaints of the lack of them in ME2)

Whatever was left of the original values and game design in ME1 has pretty much gone now, don't be surprised if bioware transitions the series to a FPS.

No Relay, No Mass Effect... (or I missed something in the beginning of ME1)...

JPR out!

I thInk we're looking at a Mass Effect MMO, set on a ruined Earth with the survivors of the various fleets marooned there, struggling to survive. Will you cooperate, or form factions and fight for resources? "Your choice shape the game!"


Bioware are ready made a MMO just recently, so i dont think they would make another one to complete with TOR, would they? 

That's the only sticking point I can see; otherwise I get the gut feel that that's been their goal since ME2.

So I'm thinking it's a matter of timing.

i think it will be set a few thousand years in the future, there will be a new advasery from a totally different galaxy that makes peace with or invades/occupies the milky way and brings tech similar to the mass relays with them.

They have been able to achive this now that the reapers no longer continue the cycle. Possibly finding the remaining reaper forces (which were not in the milkyway) to help against the new adversary.

oh and the new adversary should represent some form of earth's sea life ;)

Most of you have no imagination. We still have advanced technology and QEC devices (not reaper tech) to communicate with the other races. Say the races coordinate via QEC and set out building new relays. Set the next game 300 years in the future just as the new relays are about to come online. Dr Liara T'Soni (who's been stuck in the local cluster and helping with the Earth relay) and a new protagonist are about to take the Normandy SR3 on it's maiden voyage through the new relay system only to discover a new antagonist waiting for them. Dun dun dun!

That's just off the top of my head. The destruction of the relays can actually be used as a catalyst (no pun intended) to introduce us to a galaxy that we aren't familiar with since there hasn't been intergalactic travel for some time. As long as the best minds of all the races are able to communicate, there's no reason they can't be rebuilt in a couple hundred years... we built the friggin crucible in a week for god's sake!

Probably the biggest problem with any Mass Effect 4 is even though the current endings to Mass Effect 3 are quite similar they leave different results.

The most dramatic would be the technorganic future in the synthesis ending. Honesty, it probably lead to really odd changes in well everything. Plus the reapers are still around.

The control ending leaves the door open for the reapers to come back.

Then finally, the destroy ending shuts that door.

So, what I'm going to offer as a potential sequel is really a prequel with time travel. Basically if Bioware doesn't change anything, I suggest that whatever you did has an effect on Mass Effect 4 which is set in 2165 with you playing as Anderson, but something is off for long time players.

The tech level of Alliance Ships are suddenly more advanced than even the Asari and with more ships than the Turians. But even the Alliance is gone, it has been replaced by the Systems Empire, and humanity is raging a war of conquest on all other races.

Commander David Anderson who serves with the Imperial Navy wonders how humanity with its Krogan allies is able to beat back the Citadel races with just the Protherian ruins behind it. He is also upset about the slowly disentgrating rights for humans under the Empire as it seems that the Systems Empire readies itself for even a grander war. And then Anderson discovers a data packet from a group called Cerebus which details the alternate history of Mass Effect 1-3 and it alters to reflect your saved files.

Eventually Anderson forms a rag-tag group to find Lucifer who is behind the Systems Empire's government, and the big reveal will be this figure is a time traveling clone of the player's Shepard from the other two with memories implanted by Liara who was sent back in time to prevent the end of the relays.

"I thought as you did once, Anderson," said Lucifer. The figure got up from a chair facing many screens. "Only working together would galactic civilization to survive the onslaught that is coming, but then I had an epiphany. The Citadel Council never listened to me original, so why would they listen to me this time about . . . ."

Lucifer made quotations marks in the air. . . ."the Reapers."

Anderson was aghast. "You lived in that community of cultures. You saw their strength when they defended Earth against those Reapers."

Lucifer laughs. "Strength? They failed. The Council failed because they believed that they could handle anything given enough time, but the clock had already struck midnight as the Systems Alliance came into the galaxy. Due to their arrogance, everything that I cared about was taken from me."

Lucifer pulls out a locket that shows a picture of the love interest which is shuffled into a pocket."No if I was going to corrupt the past as a demon, I needed a seat of power to create a force that would defeat the Reapers."

Lucifer smiles. "You know Anderson. Stop this small rebellion against the Empire, and everything can be forgiven. I didn't offer that to Sovereign or the Collectors when I found them with my forces. The Reapers will come soon to discover why Sovereign has not opened the Citadel to them. I've already prepared a present for them at the Alpha Relay which will give them a nice surprise."

And the big choice would be rather Anderson joins with Lucifer, or if he decides through actions through Mass Effect 4 that he can stop the Reapers and Lucifer by upgrading his ragtag band alliance with advanced tech and by gaining his allies' loyalty.
