It'll be an MMO, so it'll be whoever you want it to be. Pay to play is the way they're going, it sounds like mo' money for BioWare. And we all know that's the bottom line of any company. If it was about making landmark games, well, we'd have landmark games, now wouldn't we? Hint: We don't.

That MMO will be chock FULL of asari and turians.  No one will choos to be a human, hanar...and only a very few dorks will choose to be volus.

I dunno --- I think there'd be a lot of Blasto the Jellyfish wannabes running around.

You should know better than that.

Okay.

I haven't read all of the posts. But why can't I find a single person who takes this thread seriously?


Anyway here are my suggestions

These are all serious suggestions from me. If you disagree, please contribute your own serious suggestions.

Leading Man: Robert Downey JR, Michael Shanks or Nolan North

To be honest I hope they do not go to the mmo route, because not everything has to be an mmo. What I think Bioware should do with mass effect is look at its past games like dragon age where you can choose your race and live the character at the very beginning of the event that changed his/hers life.
Wouldn't you like to have fought at the very beginning like Elysium with commander Shepard Torfan or Akuze actually live in the characters major event that made him/her what they are now. Imagine being a Krogan and the game starts with you taking your rite of passage something similar to dragon age. We'll I'd something like that.

[someone else]

dont care unless ridley scott is chief writer...

[marshal_zero]

I agree I would like it to have a similar concept to Dragon Age, in that you can choose your race and origin.

I don't like the idea of a mmo since that would mean that you most likely wouldn't be able to play on consoles and most mmos for me lack immersion.

I would like it to be set in the distant future or something that is happening elsewhere during the reaper war because that would, I think, make the most sense to me. However the future scenario would be hard to pull off since the end of ME3 seemed to gimp or possibly outright crush any possibility of making another meaningful ME game.

Hey, I'm taking it seriously. But every time I look at the thread the last couple of posts were nonsense, so I'm just playing along.

You mean physical, voice, or both? Personally, I don't give a damn what the default PC looks like, since I'm never going to play it.

How come?

You've still got starships that travel at 4000x lightspeed, or thereabouts. That's plenty fast enough to explore the galaxy. And really explore this time -- most of the planets we "explored" in ME1-3 were already well-known to everyone in the galaxy except, for some reason, the Normandy's navigation computer.

I suppose that is possible, but they portray long distance interstellar travel would take extremly long to the point of being impractical  without the mass relays. However I agree that with suffecent progress FTL drives could be improved or mass relays be rebuilt.

I think the main concern would be the wide spreading consequences of the choices in ME3 would be problamatic. I am not saying that this couldn't  be worked around in some way, but I am not sure if it can be done in a way to satisfy fans and satisfy the debacle that was the end.

I would like to explain further, but as this a no spoiler forum and I am already close to crossing into spoiler territory.

It's gonna be one of the colours you choose as the ending.

If by "long distance" you mean crossing the galaxy, then no, it isn't practical. But I don't see why that's a big problem. ME ships are still faster than Star Trek ships by quite a bit (well, depending on what source you consult for Trek speeds). And since fuel can be scooped from gas giants if you want to equip the ships for it, their range is pretty high.

Oh, I agree. Bio would have to pick one ending as canon. I figure blue -- red's too evil and green's too weird. Plus some other decisions too.

I see your point, since most of the council homeworlds are somewhat close together, as well as the krogan. Alliance space and batarian space would be a little further, but managable. I would say it would take weeks, months, or maybe a couple of years to transit between homeworlds. The quarians and geth would be pretty isolated, granted for the geth time would not really be an issue, but with the quarians getting to the other homeworlds would be difficult to do within their lifetime provided they have a similar lifespan to humans.

I prefer the red, but I agree that green is too weird. Also the respective fates of the krogan, quarians, and geth.

Shepard lived at the end of Mass Effect 3 they will just pick Red as cannon.

[AlanC9]

I still say that Bio's never going to make it canon that Shepard willingly committed genocide.

yeah but ever time you kill a reaper you do, so what the big deal?  and the brat lies through his glass teeth, EDI lives so "genocide" unlikely for R+

That's why blue is best, yep. Well, actually Bio thinks green is best, but that isn't workable for a sequel

and the brat lies through his glass teeth, EDI lives so "genocide" unlikely for R+

Huge mistake, that.

Want to place a bet here? I'm not putting any money on EDI, but 500 Bio points says the rest of red is going to be exactly what they said it was going to be.

What was team thinking?

Also, and this is just a guess on my part, but if there is a Mass Effect IV I'm betting it will be set a few hundred or even thousands of years after the events of ME3. Otherwise the game would be set in a galaxy where galactic civilization was practically in ruins. It would also present the problem of having this major threat emerge for the protagonist to combat, just months or a few years after the galaxy had defeated the Reapers. Having these major threats emerge so frequently would begin to stretch credulity.

I have trouble seeing how a future Mass Effect game could take place at *any* point after ME3. For as much as people like to joke about "red explosion, blue explosion, or green explosion," the actual results, if extrapolated to the entire galaxy, would be strikingly different. One of them wipes out all synthetic life, another one leaves the Reapers possibly under the control of some disembodied version of Shepard, and another turns everybody into an organic-synthetic hybrid.

You might be able to work around the issue of the synthetics (enough time passes that they've been invented again) or the Reapers (just don't have them show up even if they're still alive), but what do you do about the Synthesis ending? Are they going to create two character models for every single person in the game, i.e. one with synthetic implants and one without?

[Teddie Sage]

I want Shepard to come back.

[FoggyFishburne]

How about it be about a tabula rasa character where you build your dude from scratch, where you can pick your own class and your own species. How about that?

I would never play as a ****ing jerseyshore copy paste moron. NEVER...

No one from Jersey Shore made it into Mass Effect 3

James Vega just looked a little bit like some guy from the show.

He was based of a generic soldier. Not a generic surfer. There's a difference.

But being able to create your own class and choosing your own race. Now that would get me excited.

1.) The next entry will be 200+ years after ME3.

2.) Based on this, as well as canonizing certain events, it is reasonable to assume no ME3 characters will still be alive for the next entry. The only possibility is Liara, and if they sneak her in there, I am going to be pissed. Lol.

3.) Other than that, not much is specified. The next entry has a largely clean slate.
