Prequels would be not a good idea while the ending is not fixed. Current ending just makes anything that takes place before irrelevant. I would be more interested to see a game happening after the destruction of mass relays. There was some crazy idea for ME4 floating around couple of months ago which I kinda liked (Mass Shift? I guess). It sounded like a copy from some s-f book, but I would prefer this than same old, same old.

Agree OP. I cant bring myself to replay the current ME games because of the BS ending... why would I want to play a prequel game set in the ME universe?

Its a bad idea, so that's what BW will probably do. It'll most likely be a MP game anyway, so no loss there.

You act as if a prequel or two has already been released.

Agreed while I don't see a prequel coming out other then DLC or a ME MMO.

[rwilli80]

I wouldn't mind some prequels... especially something involving the First Contact War, although I would rather that be more like a RTS like the classic Command and Conquer or Star Craft.

[element eater]

i dont want prequels unless its in the form of other meida like books or comics a game based arond such events would be frustrating

Mmm... "no more" prequels certainly implies that there have been prequels in the past, which would be why you would not want more in the future. We have not made a prequel to a game (I will admit you can argue that KotOR was a prequel to the MMO, but that was not the intention at the time of making it) for any of our games. Are there prequl games in particular that you dislike that, maybe, you are confusing with our games?

Fans in the past have said they would actually WANT a game that takes place prior to the story of Mass Effect , possibly  centered around teh First Contact War between humand and turians. Would that NOT be something you would want? Or do you mean, you do not want a prequel game if it featured Commander Shepard specifically (like the recent film reboot of Star Trek for example).

Details?

Oh, and we have not confirmed ANY post Mass Effect 3 games, whether they are prequels or not. This is all just speculation at this point.

well since my ME3 game just stopped with big exposions.  im looking forward to the EC atm

we can talk about eventually buying or wanting future games after the current game is, ehh. complete 

right now i want the things that should have been in the game from the start,
had it not been rushed to make the release date.

face imports working. is it really fixed
graphics non 2d sprites, lol WTH embarrasing.
not forced to play MP for "best ending" 

i could write stuff like
simplified dialogue - there was more options in responses in for example me1.. 
becouse in all honesty a third installement in a triology shoudnt be less of everything, or slimmed down in quality.

and yeah. the possebility to accually WIN the game and get to see what happends in the galaxy
and to the characters in the game after i have won. 
heck what about beeing able to trawel around to the different liberated worlds and hubs
(should be all previous hubs from Me-Me2 in Me3) after game is won.
would open for dlc with timeline after war aswell.

you guys made a bitter ending. nothing is sweet about it. heck you made the fanbase bitter too :/

could wrie more about the ending but im lazy. and you heard it all b4 im sure
spacemagic and starbrat = does not fit. 
should have been a classic superweapon or shield dissruptor device opening up for classic warvictory.
epic spacebattle scene and so on.

( tip 2, get drew back. pay what ever it cost.. and have him peer review EVERYTHING )

If you, and i hope you do, make an ME-MMO, DLC, or any future mass effect games...

DO NOT MAKE THEM PREQUELS.  

Also make sure the MMO stays third person shooter and stays true to form =)

I just really wanted to get that out, bc of the new prequel trend in games.

for the love of all that is science.. please don't make it a prequel..  It would have bothered me if i didn't voice that, sorry!


EDITS:

Please guys watch the spoilers, as we're still in the section of the forums where it is not allowed. So anyone who hasn't finished the game, please steer clear, thanks.

NO MMO!!!!!!!!!!!!! an ME MMO would be terrible, I mean when would it be set? What would it imply? and even better yet who would write it? for all we know an ME MMO could end up being another SWTOR, and who wants that?

[SpartenN7]

Game based on Garrus! to his days at working at C-sec to his vigilante work as Archangel in Omega!

[Kel Riever]

All I can say is I would not play an MMO in the Mass Effect universe, in all likelyhood. If it were a 'prequel' so to speak, that would just ultra guarantee it. But regardless, MMOs are just the children of the most ****-ish parts of the internet, as far as I am concerned.

[Redbelle]

Also, I just got free of WoW this year and have come to the conclusion that I have very little to show for it. As an MMO all the data is not mine and even if I did aquire it, it would be useless without the world to bring my characters out into. At least with single player games I can pick them up and put them down when I want without worrying that I'm not getting my subscriptions worth.

they should make a Prequel. and the main character should be Javik. I think its time to tell Javiks story, now that Shepard's has been told

That would actually be really cool.  I definitely don't want to play as a human again.  I want to play as either an Asari or Prothean (Asari is probably the best option since the romance options can be female or male) and NOT IN AN MMO!!!  BioWare has already demonstrated that they don't know how to make MMOs because it will just end up as a real terrible WoW clone.

Yeah I've been thinking it would be awesome if we could play as the Asari daughter of Shepard and Liara maybe like 200 or 300 years after the relay explosions.  Then they could go into further detail of how the galaxy rebuilt and the ME3 ending wouldn't look so grim.  Depends on what they say in the extended cut I guess. 

[Mykel54]

A sequel means that some choices are canon (like the geth exist or not) and you have to deal with the macguffin endings. A prequel means that you can ignore the whole plot of ME3 and enjoy a ME game oblivious to the disgrace that is ME3. I pick the later option.

If they make more Mass Effect games, which at this point I think it's a safe bet they will, then I'd like to see a direct single player follow up to Mass Effect 4. Let the back story brought up in the three games remain just a backstory, and leave it to people's imaginations to fill in certain gaps. Prequels try to tie everything together with a nice bow, and rarely do I see the point because we know how things are going to end. Unless it was specifically more about a group of people and THEIR story with just a past setting as a background, then I'd say don't do it.

SWTOR, despite some really cool moments sprinkled about, is a really flawed game and shows the limitations of not only the BW team, but the attempt to bring story into MMOs. You could argue that TOR would be a good trial run, but MMOs have certain limitations that just make it impossible to craft stories with the same quality and production value of the previous ME3 games. EA/Lucas Arts/BW took a great series and tried to make into something that was not necessary and uncalled for. I'd hate to see them turn around and do it to Mass Effect.

[AlanC9]

It's unlikely anyway.An ME MMO would just cannibalize TORs audience.

[NedPepper]

Post ME 3 please. No interest in the First Contact War. You created this Brave New World post ME 3. Let's play in it. New protagonist. New races. Let's jump FORWARD a bit.  And it needs to be an RPG single player.  I will not play  an MMO.  I have zero interest.

Contrarily, I would be eager to see a prequel once the ending to ME3 is fixed. It wouldn't have to be an MMO, even though that would be cool. You could traverse the Prothean Empire and eventually fight/die from the Reapers. Kind of like what Halo Reach did. It would also be awesome to see all the other races in the empire. There is so much potential in the Inusannon, Densorin, Arthenn, and all the other races that no one has seen before.

[Dusen]

IMO, considering Bioware's more recent MMO outings . . . cough "SWTOR" cough. . . I would think they should stay clear of that genre of gaming.

As far as prequels go I'm not opposed to the idea. I really believe that it should perhaps focus on non-human storylines, maybe from the perspective of Garrus early on in his career or something along those lines.

EDIT: Everything about fighting as Protheans from the post above mine would be a pretty great idea too!

A game centered on the First Contact War would be awesome.

Technically it could still involve Shepard, no? I would totally go for another game with Shepard in it, but I'd be wary if he could be implemented in a good way considering you'd be stuck to a few possible outcomes that mesh with ME1's beginning. If BioWare felt they couldn't do Shepard right, I'd understand and enjoy a non-Shepard protagonist.

Either way, I'd be totally on board with a prequel or a First Contact War game that was separate from the ME series. TBH, unless the Extended Cut does something drastic, it doesn't seem like there's much room to do much with the IP post-ME3, unless it's like thousands of years. So, going backward seems more like the logical choice. And I don't know about anyone else, but I'm certainly hungry for more from the franchise.

A whole new IP would be cool too, though. In fact I'm kind of hoping for that. Not to rag on ME3 or DA2, because despite their flaws they were still totally worth it, but BioWare seems to do better story-wise in the first game of an IP lately. A lot of flaws can be forgiven when it's obvious the writers are really passionate about introducing us to a new universe and cast of characters.

[Prizzma]

I always thought i would be cool to go all the way back and find out how the Reapers were created. Find the cause of why they were created and perhaps show the struggle of the people trying to stop it from happening.

And First Contact War would always be neat, perhaps start out with the discovery of prothean artifact on Mars, show how mankind advanced then the War.

I feel it's irresponsible to make prequels as you don't have to continue the story you've written as the developer. Frankly, you could write whatever you want and go back in time to write without thinking about the consequences.

Starting anew is always easier than continueing with narrative coherance.

[tehturian]

Shepard has had a long old career, there's plenty of potential for a MGS3esque prequel.

[Simotech]

a prequel ?

a MMO??

[AlanC9]

A First Contact War prequel sounds utterly boring and pointless to me.

[Lhawke]

I wont bother buying a prequel. I'd just be thinking of what the future holds for the different species, I'd much rather see how the galaxy is recovering from the terrible events of me3.
