The vorcha were pretty necessary.

 

ME1 establishes Citadel space pretty well without really featuring it. We know that Inner Council Space salarians, turians, hanar, volus have their homeworlds there (also the Krogan, but I think that that is revealed in ME2). Outer Council Space has the asari and the elcor.

 

Then we have the Attican Traverse. ME1 heavily features it and yet all we see are human colonies and multispecific corporations. The Traverse was meant to be the frontier, supposedly disputed between Council and Terminus Systems states. Except that we never see any Council species governments in the Traverse, and certainly no independent Terminus states. All we get is some mercenaries, pirates and Haliat's crew. The Terminus Systems were supposed to be a "a loose affiliation of minor species". 

 

At least with the vorcha and the quarians we have a couple of species with homeworlds in the Terminus. ME1 didn't even have batarians until "Bring Down the Sky". We absolutely needed more species to sustain the universe, than the ones introduced in vanilla ME1. I'd argue that the vorcha weren't enough, and that ME2 should have introduced more.

 

I can't really see how the vorcha added anything to the lore or story.

 

It's true that ME1 never showed much of the conflict between the Terminus and the Council, but ME1 wasn't about that conflict.

 

ME2 retconned the codex entry from ME1. There are no independent city states in ME2. Only criminal gangs, Aria's mercenaries and the asari on Illium seems to wield any significant power.

 

Maybe you're rigt in a way, in that ME2 should have introduced more minor species. Instead, however, it introduced two species that in my opinion weren't really necessary.

Not being shown in the game =/= not being there

So vorcha weren't necessary but a different species would be? Makes sense.*

 

*no, it does not

Alright, since this is off-topic, I'm going to compose a group PM for this debate.

 

If anyone else wants to participate in it, send me a PM.

I feel like this game isn't related to previous mass effects at all. Past or present.

I could imagine a different universe -- a parallel universe - or a game with everything mass effect related but with no reapers involved.

Does anyone know if it takes place before or after the reapers at all? Or if we'd see familiar faces?

[Jos Hendriks]

IF ONLY I COULD SPEAK.

Nope to both. At this point, it's always been "it may or may not take place after the trilogy" and "you may or may not encounter past characters."

We wouldn't tell anybody if you let something slip, Jos!

 

Promise. It'd just be between you, us, Reddit, NeoGAF, The Examiner, Eurogamer, Kotaku, Polygon, Game Informer

 

(If Jos' boss is reading this thread PLS LOOK AWAY NOW OKAY THANKS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SUSPICIOUS IS HAPPENING)

I for one appreciate the Dev interaction - so try not to berate the man, please.  There will come a time when we realize what Jos is so stoked about.

[TheLittleBird]

Oh, what a tease.

I'm guessing little more talk about the game at Pax East. Talking about the direction they want to go with it, revealing a bit of the story, and announcing an actual announcement at E3. Or, A teaser trailer at PAX East, and a gameplay Trailer at E3.

For some reason, I feel very optimistic that we'll get something at PAX East. Just something about the timing, a few months before E3, and being the last major convention before E3 that seems to make it ideal to start pulling back some of the curtains on the Next Mass Effect, explaining the general lines that the game will follow, and then follow up with a big teaser/info bomb at E3.

 

Just seems very convenient, am I right Bioware 

[BMarshall811]

Man I just complete the entire trilogy of mass effect and must say; BEST GAMING EXPERIENCE EVER. I have played almost every RPG that has been released for console and you guys delivered the most awe inspiring work I have ever played. I do have some questions though about the direction Bioware will be taking with ME4. At the end of the extended cut I made the synthesis decision and kinda felt like that was the end of the franchise...clearly I was wrong. My questions are in regards to this however because I do believe you guys can absolutely bring a next installment which is sure to be even better. I wonder though, will the next chapter take place after the events of ME3, or will we be seeing an almost prequel like some developers are doing with certain franchises? Next will our galaxy be the primary setting or will there be a new galaxy that maybe we as players can cross into? Who will be the antagonist and protagonist? Clearly Shepard has been sacrificed and if players chose the same ending as me then the Reapers won't be a factor unless somehow a set of "ghost" data corrupts them again. I'm also wondering if the events of ME4 do take place after Shepard's story will some planets we visit be in a "Golden Age?" I know you guys are still in the infant stages of the next installment i just wanted to shoot some ideas because right now I am still trying to wrap my head around WTF just happened lol. Keep up the outstanding work Bioware and I look forward to losing myself in another 500 hours of gameplay in the future.

Very good catch! Google images search did not turn out anything similar. Here is the image from the twitter background

If this is a new hub world I'm officially excited!
