Stargazer for ME4 Hero. He could recruit people by giving them sweets.

I too would like to see a Mass Effect: Origins. Start with different openings depending on race and back story then it would make sense for the protagonist to be made a Spectre so everyone's in the same place (like becoming a grey warden in Dragon Age). The protagonist doesn't have to be a Spectre though, maybe a smuggler or pirate would be a bit different but still bring everyone to the same place in the story. I would quite like it if the protagonist was something other than the heroic soldier type.

I could see them doing something like a side story like the story of a civilian resistance fighter who helps Anderson and Major Coats fight the Reapers on Earth the hero of it can die just before Shepard returns. If that is what they do then don't have Shepard seen in it. We should hear about Shepard from the other characters and/or the news.

We've certainly hear enough about the war on Earth and we only see a glimpse of Earth. We can meet both Kaiden's parents and Ash's mother, sisters, and brother-in-law and this could be done regardless of which one survived the first game, maybe see things only briefly mentioned in the codex like those genetically altered animals and you could have members of the various alien races on Earth for any number reasons (ambassadors, business people, spouses, etc) and show different sides of them as well.

It seems that in multiplayer we can play as various races and they all have their own gameplay style. If the animations and such are already established then why not implement race selection in ME4?

I hear this sort of thing a lot.

This is a great Idea, However... I can give you two reasons why this won't happen.
1. A problem I see with this is that I am (And I'm sure many, many others) too used to having a voiced protagonist (Especially in ME, it's like a tradition now)
2. To have a voice for each race and gender of those races would really eat Bioware's/EA's wallets so I don't see them doing that for one minute.

So I propose an alternative which I think some of you may like, while others will hate:
I believe that any attempt by Bioware to give us another human protagonist would result in us (The players) constantly comparing the new guy/girl to our Shepards. And lets face it, no "new guy/girl" is ever going to have the same bond I had (And the majority of you had) with Shep. I could continue with some more reasons not to have a new human, but I'd like to move on.

(In short: No more humans)

I'm being empathetic to Bioware and EA as much as possible and they want to create a great game without spending more than they're earning. VA's cost a lot of money and so I think that two or three races (At the most) is best for them and (I imagine) us.

As to the races, I nominate:

1. Asari definitely should be one of the playable races, because they're mono-gendered only one voice would be needed (Bioware and EA approve). Not only that they've always been a huge part of the ME universe, I'm sure that they would be a popular choice too.

2. Krogans are an interesting one to nominate, you'd expect I'd say Krogans just because they're big and tough. But there is a lot more to them, there political views, there views of other races and there jaded past. Not only that, they're big and tough

3. I'm not sure, but I'd vouch for Turians, Quarians or Salarians since all three are very relevant and powerful to the overall themes and such of ME.

Thoughts about this?

[AnubisR]

I want to see a Turian, and have the game be about the First Contact War... although provided that was actually an extremely short war, maybe not a good idea...

I liked whoever said having a playable reaper. That sounds fun but completely off base with the series.

Honestly, I'm not sure where they can go from where they are now.

Can or can't. 

There WILL be another Mass Effect game.

Count on it.


I won't be playing it, but BW's been pretty damn clear on just how many F's they give about me and my business.

[KevTheGamer]

James wouldn't make sense since he can die on Earth. I think it would be a new character but ME 4 will not be anywhere near as good as Shepard's story. I think Bioware shot themselves in the foot by ending Shepard's story. Shepard could have gone on to fight a new enemy and been a franchise icon like Mario or Link.

[dreamgazer]

Honestly, if they're continuing chronologically, I'd prefer that they start fresh and allow for us to pick from a roster of adjustable races for a new hero---kinda like the multi-player, only taken to BioWare's in-depth extents. Keep the book closed on Shepard's story, and start a new one in the aftermath.

Tell individual stories similar to Dragon Age: Origins of a human, asari, quarian, salarian, etc. etc. of different classes and where they go post-war, perhaps even a few dozen years afterwards (with some finite exposition telling us how things kept going afterwards). Same game mechanics, offline.

I'd be a happy camper.

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.

I'm pretty sure this will be the case as well. EA I believe is rather intent on transitioning Bioware to become a full MMO Studio as they likely believe this is the only viable market for RPGs. You know like the dreaded inventory. To which I'm going to be honest... if you don't like inventories you have no business playing RPGs as having items to interact with is vital to providing roleplaying scenarios. Granted inventory in games certainly has lots of room for improvement. And it would be nice if someone actual created a virtual backpack with realistic space rather then an invisible storage truck that follows the player.

Anyways Bioware is really not suited to making action heavy games. So far ME3 is their best attempt. And in that respect they did fairly good... but I just don't think they have the knack to really do that sort of thing. Besides heavy action sequences tend to be detrimental towards creating stories which generally benefit more babbling and less big explosions.

Though one problem with MMOs is they are the worst genre to try and have a story told as such games are entirely cooperative or competitive in nature. Really it's hard to tell a story in an environment where everyone just wants to kill the boss or kill each other for interwebz glory. But... MMOs are also the best environments to actually go about proper roleplaying. Unfortunately MMOs have not been very good at encouraging this hence why MMOs are generally no longer even called MMORPGs... because they aren't. Bioware's attempt to interject actual storylines is interesting from what little I've seen of TOR. But I think they are barking up the wrong tree in certain respects. Less hand holding and more incentives/tools to create actual characters is what would be best.

I'll admit, I was out of order with that reply. Let me try again in a more dignified manner. :innocent:

Although a lot of people claim on BSN that they will no longer purchase a future ME game (or Bioware game for that matter), many are simply saying so and the majority of those people will continue to purchse Bioware games. Also I'd like to point out that even if you're approximation was close (However,I think not. I'm just hypothesising) to being correct, that it would only apply to BSN users and BSN only makes up for a small minority of Bioware's sales.

My approximation would be that the ME4 boycotters will only lose Bioware 2 - 8% of their overall sales.

Op you know that too most people Play Male and Female. Most of BioWare and EA RPG games always allowed you to play the other gender. I honestly play female in RPGs or games that allow you to play the other. I would love to play any Species of any gender like I said before.

It be cool to play an Asari or another female Alien. I think that in Future Mass Effects there will be new species and discoveries. I too don't mind playing Mass Effect games before the original trilogy. I wonder what future Mass Effect stories could be like I prefer mainly after Mass Effect 3, the known trilogy.

No, not asari...can't choose male or female.  Only female.  That would be as "bad" as choosing a clearly male character (Jersey Shore dude).

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.

Don't krogan potentially live for centuries? If so, Grunt could still be alive. (I'm not sure how old Wrex is supposed to be.) I also imagine EDI could still be around.

Next game will be done in the style of Battlefield / CoD.

A thin shell of a 100% linear single player game and most resources put into multi player where they can earn money on 'the new ME gimmick: TCG packs. Errr.. I mean booster packs...'

So lead character will be a random no-namer that is part of some military squad.

I honestly don't expect anything with good storytelling from Bioware anymore as they have made the transition into a generic action game conveyer company now.
