This forum tends to bury new posts very quickly, so though I understand this is a little excessive: BUMP
Because I need feedback and I won't get it on page 3.

@Hunter_Wolf Honestly, there probably shouldn't be an ME4, but just like Halo 4, the series is too popular (and thus a cash cow) for them to kill it. If Bioware moves on like Bungie did, EA will find or create a new studio, just as Microsoft did.

This.

Although I can't see myself getting into another title anyway until they fix these horrific endings.

But why would they want to destory the entire Milky way? The reapers goals are at least "compehensable" that is to pave a way to new speices and so on, but what would destorying the galaxy achive?

[Auztin]

Interesting.I got one question though.Who is the Protagonist?You do know Reaper threat isn't gone.Destroy ending says Reapers will come back when synthetics are back.

Wait, would I have been grown in a test-tube or did EDI get a vaginoplasty?

I'm currently working on a number of character things which I will send to CmdrSlander for his editing/approval towards the project.

This may or may not include a protaganist and a series of locations/planets.

I feel that, we have become so emotionally attached, not only to Shepard and "the crew" but also to the galaxy as we know it.
Tell me, am I the only one whose standing orders throughout Mass Effect to protect and save the galaxy and the species whom live there?

To wipe out the galaxy as we know it, and all those we came to love, and to present us with a new alien world which is essentially Fallout in space, to show us the characters we love, now old and broken. It would be nothing more than an attempt to squeeze money out of a dead franchise and would be the final nail in the coffin of ME.
If Bioware wishes for ME to survive, they need to give us back, unconditionally, the same galaxy we spent five years trying to save. Or at least give us the option, and the means, to carry it on on our terms.

As for your idea, it is brilliant, no doubt about it. However it is not Mass Effect, it is a universe all unto it's own and deserves a universe of it's own.

I can't care about the universe anymore. Everything that made it what it was is over. Mass Effect is dead.

Yet you are on a message board of a game talking about the universe you claim is dead to you. Reminds me of the zombies in Dawn of the Dead who kept going to the mall and they wondered why

I'm of the opinion that, while the universe is going to be different, that doesnt mean it may be bad. Chaos causes drama, and with those endings who knows what might happen. There is potential there for some great stories if done right. I just hope bioware doesnt bother with prequels, i dont care what happened in the past i wanna see what happens after 3.

@din626

Good to have you back. What are your thoughts on the codex articles I've posted lately?

[din626]

I'm having to go through them still! Work was quite tough and insanely busy today (the problems of working at a tourist attraction in good weather!) but so far I am enjoying things quite a bit. The Pariah station concept is great and it's times like these I wish i was half decent with a brush or pencil to sketch out such a thing

Other articles will require me to go back and read a smidge, still working on expanding those characters!

You just summed up how I feel about it.

Also, some characters will be "old and broken" 30 years in the future but remember, the official Codex article for Earth states that the new average human lifespan (with the elimination of genetic disease, cancer etc.) is 150, so really a 62 year old character (which is what Joker's age would be in ME4) is only a little more than middle aged. Then you have the Asari, who live for centuries, Liara probably won't even look different, though her outlook will have changed. We know the Salarians are very short lived but the only Salarian we cared about (Mordin) is already dead, as for the Krogan, I remember an Asari in ME2 remarking that Krogans live for at least 300+ years. Turian lifespans are unknown, which means we can make them as long lived as we want.

[lyleoffmyspace]

This is a stupid idea.

I don't like it at all. It just doesn't seem Mass Effect-y.

[CmdrSlander]

@lyle

You are entitled to your opinion.

[CmdrSlander]

@din626

How about Lysanderna, the Hanar assassin, the consensus seems to be he's too out there or that he violates the Hanar-Drell lore, but I see him as an outlier in Hanar society, not a deviation from everything we know about them, if well written he could be a very cool but tragic character.

[din626]

You have my opinion via PM on Lysanderna...

You also have a PM chock full of character outlines and some musings of my own.

[CmdrSlander]

@din626

You have my thoughts on your thoughts via PM.

Fine work all around.

[RenownedRyan]

I've bought my last Mass Effect game.

[CmdrSlander]

@RenownedRyan

Last Mass Effect game so far.... I don't work for BW of course, this is just an theory/thought experiment, that being said, I think it is very sad that such a great series drove off so many fans with an sub-satisfactory ending.

[xlava]

You put a lot of work into this, OP, but the fact remains if we don't get an alternative ending this is the last Bioware game/DLC I will be playing.

[din626]

As CmdrSlander points out it's a thought experiment if naught else. A fanfic and an interesting take on "what could be".

Mass Effect 4: Codex: Locations: Hades Array

Constructed between 2195 and 2213 the Hades Array is the Earth Systems Alliance's ultimate answer to incoming extrasolar threats, be they Reaper, Alien, or otherwise. Located in the asteroid belt that lies roughly between Mars and Jupiter the Hades Array consists of 615 compact High Energy Thanix Cannon batteries disguised as asteroids or other space debris. Capable of firing independently or in coordinated strikes the Hades Array can theoretically beat back or utterly destroy any conceivable enemy fleet in a short, violent, and distinctly one-sided battle. The heart of the Array is Anderson Station, which serves as the main fire control center for the array and the primary shipyards for the Alliance navy.

What Alliance propaganda fails to mention is the fact that the concept and execution was the brainchild of the infamous Illusive Man. Though he has been dead since the end of the Reaper War, files extracted from the Cronos Station included detailed plans for the Hades Array, plans which he had completed at the conclusion of the First Contact War and revised to include Thanix technology after the First Battle of the Citadel.

This is a great idea but would such a huge task of 615 cannons be plausable even 30 years after earth got munched?

It would be a great idea to perhaps have it under construction?

[CmdrSlander]

@Adamski_707 615 cannons may be too much, but these are compact Thanix Cannons, smaller than those fitted to the Normandy. Their power comes from combined fire. Their true advantage is that, from the perspective of an invader, even the smallest asteroid could have devastating power hidden within.
