If I remember right(I'm never going to be able to find a link to it, so don't bother asking =P) one of the Bioware people said on Twitter that it's possible that the remnants of the galaxy could rebuild the relays in time.
I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse, but it's a thing. It could happen.
Whomever said that must have been new to the group and didn't pay attention to the storyline meetings.
Understand that the only species that ever cracked the secrets of the Mass Relay to replicate them were the Protheans. And even then it was a desperate attempt to create a back door to the Citadel to hopefully shutdown the cycle for good. Even if the Citadel races were studying the Conduit, 2 years isn't enough to figure out how to build Mass Relays. There wasn't any hint that they'd already cracked the secrets in ME2 and everybody was busy panicking or focused on the Cruicible to spend time researching the relays in 3.
Now all the Relays were destroyed in one go and there's not enough left to try and reverse engineer them. Cracking the relay system and communicating all this could take millenia. ME4 would have to take place maybe even in the year 52,500 and open right during the opening of the Relay system in order for THAT possiblity to even make the remotest possible sense.
I could live with almost everything they did in ME3. Even most of the plotholes. But the biggest issue that prevents me from even considering investing in any other ME project is the destruction of the Mass Relays. It's the most iconic piece of equipment in the ME universe. There's one like every other cutscene while you're flying around in space and just about every other loading screen too. I still wanna gut the idiot who even suggested blowing them all up in the story meeting and everyone who agreed with him clearly hadn't had their coffee yet.
To blow up what made travel possible without stealing things like Warp Factor or the Hyperdrive from the two biggest Sci-fi stories was perhaps the most boneheaded move I can imagine. The Relays were what set Mass Effect apart from everything else which is why I was attracted to it in the first place.
/rant. Sorry. It's a very sore spot for me. Mass Effect was a very unique world with it's own physics and to screw it all up in a way that makes it almost mandatory for you to start pulling things from other Sci-fi is very painful to watch.
