If Bioware want to continue the Mass Effect universe then there has to be a canon ending for ME3.
Don't they have to follow the lore? Yeah we have that Stargazer scene set long time after the events of ME3 and people remeber the story. But this scene makes literally 0 sense with synthesis and control. I can't imagine a new game set after Mass Effect 3 if synthesis and control are real. How can you make sequals with this? I really don't know.

Personally I think (the Indoctrination Theory) or destroy ending are the only ways to go.
Perhaps even Refusal but it doesn't makes sense to me. Why does Liara's VI say the Crucible didn't work when it works just perfectly? Shepard didn't press a button now we're all dead? This ending shouldn't even be in the EC.
I pray to god they don't make another shooter that would be ridiculous.

Thoughts?

Trilogy.

Definition.

Arc of three intertwined stories reaching a penultimate conclusion.

Simple.

If they continue after this they will suffer Story Rot and it will simply be terrible.

There IS a canon ending.

It's just as canon as Shepard's gender.

They dont have to follow up the story, they would just keep the universe going.

I thought Bioware wasn't going to do any other ME games that take place after ME3 anyway, so if that's true they don't need to make a canon ending at all. Maybe it's just a rumour though.

[WandySilva]

I agree with you that to make a canon ending, IDT has to be present. That way they can just say that it was all a test of the players will and the dlc/me4 will be the actual ending, after Shepard wakes up on earth.

So they gonna just ignore the events of 3 games? This is not how Bioware is.

Well unless Bioware want 4 seperate universes to contend with to keep fans happy, they wont continue.

Thats exactly what I'm trying to say. And to do so there has to be a canon ending.

All possible permatations of Mass Effect 3 are canon. They exist in quantum super-position until the Crucbile is activated (or not if you refuse) at which point four distinct branches of the multiverse are generated (although each one contains a miriad of possibilities).

Not just that, but to make a game that changes based on what you chose in ME3 would be really difficult to make, since each decesion presents staggering changes for the future for each one,

or assuming the next game is Mass Effect 4 they could pull a Kotor 2

[TaradosGon]

Liara would have no idea what transpired on the Citadel, and would not have been aware that the Catalyst was an AI controlling the Reapers.

All anyone would know is that the Crucible docked, Shepard's last words expressed uncertainty as to what he was supposed to do to make it fire, and the fact that the Reapers are being controlled would never be learned.

As for a Mass Effect 4/future novels (or whatever other media) that progress past ME3, yes they would have to settle on a canon ending, or at least rule out Synthesis. They could probably make an ME4 that takes into consideration whether you selected Control or Destroy. In KOTOR 2 they had to get around the fact that you could have destroyed the Sith or you could have declared yourself a Sith in the original KOTOR.

All they would have to do is make up some explanation as to why the Reapers are no longer around if you picked Control. E.G. Shepard led them back into Dark Space once the Galactic Community recovered and will only awaken them if deemed necessary by some unanimous voting body or something like that. Heck, in KOTOR 2, if you declared yourself a Sith in KOTOR, the explanation was pretty much "hey, he just abandoned his Empire and we don't know why."

Synthesis though I just think cannot work, since you have to take into consideration that everyone is going to be glowing obnoxiously and working in how everyone is more intelligent and efficient and all of that.

1) Indoc theory is dead thank god.
2) Any game they make would need to occur in the years between ME1 and ME2. There is not enough time to really have anything occur before ME1 because humanity is insanely new to the galaxy. The ending to ME3 even with Destroy would be make any game depressing.

Kotor 2 is more than 6 years old. It was acceptable back then but not for today.

[Sarcastic Tasha]

Its not only the endings that would cause problems so would the other decisions. Did Shep sabotage the genophage cure? Wipe out the quarians? Save the rachni queen? It would really bug me if they had to choose what was canon for all those choices too.

The theory in question regarding the ending is dead, yes, but throughout the story, intertwined? not really.

The dev team have said many things.  Name me one thing they said that actually came true however...
