Yeah, really hoping it isn't a prequel. I understand the ethos associated with viewpoints such as yours, EP, but I am... well, not your garden-variety BSNer, I suppose; I would rather half a hundred choices I didn't make be engraved as canon if needs be for some form of sequel to be made than to never touch post-2186 with a nine-foot pole.

My philosophy on choice canonization has everything to do with my stance. I am perfectly OK with embracing such a universe as one of myriad potential paths which just happens to be the only path put to my television screen. Would I rather it reflected my choices instead? Absolutely, which is why some sort of jump ahead or separation into a new-ish setting would be better if that isn't a reality, but you know, I wouldn't be opposed to a lot of those ending stills in EC taking the Dragon Age: Origins route of "those were potential what-ifs and rumors" and a 50-years-later RGB blending of sorts with dialogue differences at key points as well.

I guess the biggest takeaway from all this conflicting desire is that no matter which route the franchise is now taken some group is going to be pissed off, at least at first glance. It's inevitable after those endings. What's important is what's marketable, especially now that a segment of the franchise's fanbase will at least claim never to go near another title. Gotta make it look savvy to as many people as possible while maintaining a strong commitment to delivering a great narrative.

They may as well run with something I dislike at first glance, I suppose, from a strictly honest analysis; I'm pretty inclined to like the game regardless going off my track record. All five single-player BioWare games released over the previous console generation crack my top 20 games, so yeah...

And now I am incredibly off-topic. But as I rarely venture into the story board I figured I may as well get that all off my chest once and for all.

Let's all talk about #Space. What do you suppose it means? Will this game feature outer space? If so, do you suppose it -- I can't finish this farce, just... let's enjoy our tweets. :P

I know it's all jokey, but I do expect the next game to feature space more. Lol. Yes, in a serious way here. :P

 

I consider ME1-3 to still be more about dropping off at land/earth/grounded locations, than exploring how crazy varied space environments can be.

Kinda thinking similarly myself lately. Space as a greater part of the plot, representing a trek into the unknown -- exploration, loss, abandonment, frontier, abyss, these are all themes I wonder if we'll be seeing more of in the next game.

To me...the easiest route for BW to take for ME:N to be a sequel, and still keep whatever choice the player gets made in ME3 is this:

 

When the relays blow up.....some crew of a ship is caught in one of those 'bubbles' EDI talks about, and gets transported to an alternate universe/reality. Tons of space exploration....getting involved in a conflict you know nothing about that has nothing to do with reapers....new crew...new races...the realization that there just might not be any way 'home' (plenty of potential angst there for BW to mine for companion storylines)....no ME3 baggage.

 

That's my bubble dream for ME:N.

 

Totally wrong, and that's ok.

 

 

And for game release...I'd think 4th Q 2015 at the earliest. 2016 just seems more likely. (unless they are further along with ME:N development than they have let on)

I really do think the "it's Voyager/BSG/Lost in Space" sorta plotline could work fantastically if done right. A BioWare sort of approach with that would rock. Pick up some crewmembers from new races along the way... oh man...

Indeed. (you forgot Stargate Universe though)

And how about zero-g fights like Shattered Horizon?

They've said they want to focus more on exploration and discovery, so I think this is very possible..

No, that was an April fools joke. Barrett clarified what he meant:

Would it make it better or worse if I said my mentioned fun is not April-Fools-shenanigans related?


Also, happy birthday Ann! :)

Yeah, I think that's what Pascal was getting at too :) personally, I'm not expecting anything, though. No possibility for disappointment that way :P

Personally, I think they should've put a Tali body pillow up too. That would have been even more hilarious.

Oh, and #Space!
