if i was casey i would reboot the series, make each triology its own self contained story ala final fantasy.

you would still have the stuff that made its distinctly mass effect like biotics, the aliens species and homeworlds but in this time line there is no shepard or the reapers. would just have to come up with a new or altered explanation for the citadel, maybe in this timeline the protheans did make the citadel and relays.

or just do away with those aswell, find a new way to get people around

[King of Archers]

I just got/played thru the trilogy and had an idea on how EA/Bioware can make a lot of money, fans happy and get a fourth mass effect game with Shepard, with one DLC.
This DLC would add:
-more cutseens/changes to cutseens to account for all war assets in the final battle, after tali/legion's mission on rannoch the camera pans around the cliff as tali takes off her mask and Shepard comes up behind her and puts his arm around her waist as she says she's with him til the end to you see her face as shes talking (tali is my LI and I made peace between the quarians and the geth at full paragon).

-after rannoch tali makes a backup drive for EDI so if something happens to her joker won't lose her forever like legion, and the fleet do the same with the geth severs so that it they fail the remaining geth will have a 50000 year head start on finding a way to stop the reapers.

The ending deserves an intro on its own I wouldn't change most of the ending other than the already stated saving of the geth and EDI, the other things I would change are, for control Shepard would disintegrate into liquid not dust, a fifth ending and the end cutseens of the big three.
- renegade: Shepard does nothing/the cycle continues, no change

- paragon: Shepard convinces the catalyst the cycle is wrong and that this cycle deserves a chance, the catalyst sends the reapers away for now.

- destroy: no change till after cutseen, camera in front of almost dead Shepard, keepers start cautiously crowding in around, Shepard takes a breath, keeper nearest to camera turns off to the side and yells in slightly Scottish accent "we need more help!", turn back to Shepard and says grimly "the galaxy's going to need Commander Shepard for comes next". (explanation: the keepers where indoctrinated by the citadel all along)

- synthesis: no change till after cutseen, one month later, camera in front liara in bed, (by default/if you linked minds in ME1 to understand the prothen beckon or share a memory at the end of ME3/if she's your LI (if you have a LI who's not liara it's them and there in your cabin)), naked so you can see synthetic circuits on her skin(but sheets are covering everything that's privet on a human) having a nightmare, zoom in/fade to black on liaras face, someone on their knees chained to the floor, person screams, liara wakes up clutches the sheets to herself, irises glowing, she says "Glyph, i need you to send a message all crew of the Normandy", Glyph wakes up very sleepily, yawns and says " yes liara, what's the message?", liara looks Glyph straight in the eye and replies "Shepard's alive!". (explanation: when Shepard sacrificed his body, his mind became trapped in everyone in the galaxy's minds(the chains), the first fifth of Mass Effect 4 would be you playing as squad mates saving Shepard)

- control: Shepard disintegrates into liquid not dust, already existing epilogue speech, fades-in to the base of the control platform, Shepard liquid starts to move, grips/climbs/builds on its self forming a bio-metal skeleton then bio circuits, layer by layer, until standing where Shepard was is a humanoid reaper, half-a-hight taller then Shepard, it crakes its neck, rolls its shoulders, looks back over its right shoulder eyes still closed, eyes open, it's Shepard, he grins and in a slightly deeper and geth like tone says "looks like I still have galaxy to save", cut to black, death metal music (?) similar to the DeadPool the game trailer plays.(explanation: when he liquidises he becomes the same thing the collectors where turning humans into, he increases in size by half because he is now a lot more hollow, reaper Shepard's face is mirrored on what you Shepard's face is(so each is unique))

Ultimately all three endings have two thing in conmmen:

- Shepard is alive, in some way or another and
- Harbinger was never there!, he was still out in dark space "assuming direct control" of a proxy reaper, to far form the mass relays for the energy from the crucible to get to him and disobeying the catalyst if the paragon ending is achieved, also he was first reaper made from almost the entire leviathan species and there weren't collectors to make reapers till the last cycle, he can make reapers and is 50 times bigger then sovereign,(all five different ending Shepards at once, "Bosh'Tet....", EDI walks by "that part wasn't a joke") .

Mass Effect 4 starts about one month after your choice, as for where, I think they would start like this:

-renegade, Sorry i got nothing?

-paragon, new area, called citadel hub?, at the base of the teleport beam on earth from the end of ME3, Shepard goes up to sort out some political BS on the citadel, Sorry got bearly more than renegade at the moment

-control, stowed away on a cargo ship going to the citadel, sneak off at landing pad, go through security, every alarm on the citadel goes off two executive officers come running around the corner, camera on ther legs, zooms from between their shoulders, Reaper Shepard is on his knees, hands on his head, says "you think C-Sec would have gotten used to me not being dead", Garrus and Tali drop their guns, both "Shepard!?!" (got loads of backround info on this one)

-synthesis, meeting in briefing room, liara explaining what she saw, head-tentacles resembling what can only be described as asari bed head "i'm telling you he's alive!", EDI with a hand on Jokers waist "It is systemically improbable he could survive for that long", Joker with his arm around EDIs shoulders "Yeh,i know how you feel liara, no one can replace shepard, no offence Mr Commander Vega Sir!", joker mock salutes, Commander Vega,"please, i already told you all its just james,now as much as i want belive you liara there's no way i can prove your telling the truth...", Javik speeks up from the back,"if you would trust me i could enter the mind of Dr T'soni and prove or disprove if what she says is the truth?", James,"where not going anywhere fast without a third party, and your the closest we got", Javik, "very well, Dr T'so... Liara if you try to block me it will hurt...Do you wish to proceed?, Liara straightens herself,"yes", Javik steps forward put a hand on ether side of liaras head and then touches foreheads, on contact the screen shows the scene with shepard chained to the floor, then screaming, shows new scene Shepard in a defited voice"if only they knew", Shepards eyes flash open "all we got were the scouts!", Javik is thrown from liara by a biotic mental blast, James"JAVIK!",Javik"I'm alright, but we must go to to ilos at once", James following Javik "slow down, What did you see?", Javik turns on the spot and looks Vega square in the eyes"three things, 1 Shepards alive and running out of time, 2 a device designed by what you would call priests to give new bodys to the dead so they may live again WAS made on ilos unlike what my unit was told ", James, "and the third?", Javik turning back towards the cockpit in a determined voice "all we won was a battle, the war is still on!".

-destroy, shepard wakes up, sits up and immediately hits his head on a pipe, walks out of the small room into a large town that looks like a metal tree-top village in the rafters of the citadel and is greated by a keeper witha a einstein mustache and hair,"hello", Shepard "you can talk?", Keeper "apparently so, a lack of indoctrination can make you very talkative. The name's Theodore", Theodore stretches out his hand, Shepard takes it warily and says "Shepard, what happened?", Theodore,"walk with me, you were out out for quiet a time, a month to be precise", Shepard" My squad!", Theodore"Ther're fine, yes so is <Incert LI Here>",Shepard, breaths out relived"that's good",Theodore"after you blew up the citadel and destroyed the reapers in the galaxy , we found you and brought you back to the land of the living", Shepard" not that im not greatful, but the last time anyone did that it didn't end to well, why, what do you gain?",Theodore and Shepard stop"A world safe once more, what you fought on earth was merely a token, and scouting party if you will, harbinger and the reaper army were still in the dark space when the crucible fired...", Shepard" Wait, were?!", Theodore looks up at the stars "the galaxy about to become a very fearful place Mr Shepard, unless you can stop them for good?"Shepard "Im sure as hell not going to LET them take away everything and everyone i love!!", Theodore "just what i was hoping you'd say that".

also some random details from another post

-The reapers were supposed to stop genocide by killing all races before they commit it, what if harbinger decided to do just that
-Whos to say he can only make reapers or the collecters/ protheans were the only race they changed
-I let the batarian Balak live?(that one might come back to bite me on the butt)
-I always thought miranda (or mabye jacob if shes dead) would takeover after the illusive man was gone
-Lastly who knows how much he has upgraded himself, as far as i know he could big as the star the cerbrus base orbited in ME2 and have a gun that shoots Deathstars!

I want be a story writer for games, movies and books, all I would want is to work on this personally if EA and Bioware think it's a cool idea, so if anyone knows how to get in touch with someone there that would be great.

P.S. please post if you think sounds cool (it's been bugging the hell out of me) and how much you would be willing to pay this DLC (so that they can get estimated profit margin).

[battfinkz]

im done with shepard, ive enjoyed the trilogy since the day ME1 came out, but this story line is done, dead, finito.

such a huge, vast world bioware has created and people still want to be stuck with the same old invincible ice hockey player we've all played to death.

i would like to see a prequel, there's so much lore to explore, explain and expand on, the discovery of the mass relays, other species, the early wars, we could play as another specie exclusively.

i love ME, but im tired of shepards wooden character

i can see that it is maybe 20 years from the events of mass effect 3. Say that the council has become a dictatorship, and you are a member of a resistance movement. and thru events of the game and maybe some sequels, you become the leader of the resistance, and launch a full scale war against the citadel.

[Majin Paul]

I'd like a story which, if they go a war route again, have the enemy be a new race which is either level with, or just slightly ahead of us technologically, so that the war is more even rather than creating an enemy which seems undefeatable because of superior strength as well as numbers.
I'd be suprised if it was fairly soon after 3, time wise unless they found a way to combine endings/tidy up the ending for ME4.

EDIT: I also wouldn't mind the idea of a group emerging which become reaper fanatics if done right.

I'm still of the opinion that, in line with the fact that they don't wanna make a game set after Shepard's story, they should make "Mass Effect 4" (which they've also said is a bad way to conceptualize the next Mass Effect game) be an entirely different continuity.

No dealing with the Reapers, no dealing with Commander Shepard or anything, just a new story with new characters and new enemies, all set within the amazing Mass Effect universe that we have all come to know and love.

[kobayashi-maru]

I'm not sure the different continuity thing would work with ME at this point. For me I cured the genophage to save the Krogan because I always cared more about them than Earth, to have that reset or in some way ignored would annoy me enough to maybe not buy it.

My idea for ME4 is:

Set 100+ years later.

By this point implications of endings could be massaged to fit.

- Destroy -
Shepard survived but would be dead by timeline anyway. Relays were rebuilt slowly and while some work, they can be faulty and a number of ships have been lost due to malfunctions. Synthetics and AI are rebuilt.

-Control-
Reapers and there footsoldiers rebuild relays etc before returning to the galaxy they came from to evolve into something different now that cycle is finished.

-Synthesis-
Reapers etc return to own Galaxy, the glow seen at end of ME3 was temporary as Nanobots activated. Ended up only giving the complex synthetics sentience and make carbon based life slightly more able to meld the organic and technological.

-Krogan-
Are rebuilding because even if you didn't cure genophage, Turians do after war because of the help given to them during war or Synthesis cures it. They now on Council.

-Quarian-
They remain on homeworld to rebuild and acclimatise to it. Having been in space for hundreds of years they no longer want to travel, they don't appear. So if you sided with Geth they just don't appear (or go the easier way and cannonise the Geth/quarian truce)

-Geth-
They gone, if destroyed dead if not they decide to go with Reapers to help them understand what being 'alive' really means or something.

So all major choices moulded to fit - though I would cannonise the Genophage cure, quarian/Geth truce and Wrex being in charge in past to have Krogan on council.

As for my in game story:

New protagonist is second in command of a cargo ship (Han Solo type) who travels between Terminus systems and Citadel etc. In intro the ship stumbles upon a council ship being attacked they fight off the enemy, boarding damaged ship to help. It would look like ME2 Normandy damage with holes in hull, fires etc. You find the last survivors protecting the daughter of the Turian councillor. You return to your ship more enemies arrive, killing captain, you manage to escape.

On arriving at Citadel Turian councillor offers his thanks by giving you a new ship (you can choose options and design on ship) After which the daughter hides onboard and goes with you, because some kind of conspiracy is at work on the Council and you decide to help becasuse the pirates killed your Captain - maybe it was your parent.

Lots of side missions, Merc/pirate battles occur throughout before at midway point you are abducted by an elite group. You end up on Citadel where a terrorist event kills council, you set up for it and have to escape. It is then revealed that the whole thing has been orchestrated by the Spectres and they want control of council and want war with Terminus Systems how are out of there control.

You have battle on Citadel before finding the Normandy in Museum and using it to escape, eventually sending at pursuing vessel destroying both while escaping in the shuttle.

Would then be all preparation for battle in Terminus Systems. In end you would win but it would be revealed that at the back of everything is a new Alien race influencing everything and they have a plan. At end you still wanted for attack because many governments have been infiltrated, you begin to build forces to fight back. Would have new space station hub, ship retrofits etc. You end with your crew including the councillors daughter looking out window of station at the fitting of weapons to ships, vessels leaving to protect colonies with the sound of the Alliance News branding you and the people of the Terminus systems traitors in background.

That's my idea anyways not fully fleshed out or anything just what I would like. But the idea of making the Spectres the villains I love.

I wish to play Shepard son and rebuild the universe.

Indoctrination, or reboot. In that order.

Casey Hudson stated that he had no desire to make a game taking place after ME3. If they do anything, it's going to be taking place before or during ME3.

here

And after some time he start to asking when and about what should be the next ME, and fans respond that they want to see sequel because making a some sidestory or prequel would be stupid... But it´s the Casey and Mac to blame, because they have made an endings which are so broken and so different that making a sequel for literal form is impossibile, unless they will either retcon-canonize-reboot whole ME franchise.

Not to mentioned that I would take his or anyone from Bioware with grain of salt, because most of what they spewed for past 2 years turn to be lie.

Mass Effect 4 could be about war between galaxies (against invaders from another galaxy), only this time with reapers on our side - if they were not destroyed. If BioWare wants to kill Shepard and Shepard will not be available in Mass Effect 4 (maybe Mark Meer or Jennifer Hale don't want to be Shepard any more), it would be nice option to import saves of previous games, and, if new main personage will have the same or similar facial code, as old Shepard, this could give some advantages with old team, as this new personage will remind them about old Shepard. Of course, to extract or to resurrect Shepard, if Mark Meer or Jennifer Hale are planing to participate in future games, is easy. This is nice advantage of any imaginary worlds and technologies. It would be good also, for BioWare to make at least one truly Paragon ending for Paragon characters in future game. Because, all endings in Mass Effect 3 were designed with quite dark sides... more for Renegades than for Paragons to enjoy... To be SLAUGHTERER of innocent along with reapers (Destroy), DICTATOR (Control) or FRANKENSTEIN (Synthesis). Although Synthesis, like mixing between races on Earth in reality, is good idea, forcing it on all galaxy instantly, without asking galaxy itself, is not the best way to do this.
