Jessica Merizan recently revealed that Bioware considers synthesis an inevitibility for the Mass Effect universe, and that if they set a game forward in the timeline synthesis will occur regardless of whether or not Shepard was the agent that instigated it. The galaxy at some point will choose synthesis on its own.

The question is: Would you be interested in playing Mass Effect IV, if synthesis has occured?

Poll


Also if synthesis being canon doesn't interest you, what is it you don't like about that being the backdrop for ME4?

Don't listen to Jessica Merizan, half of the stuff that comes out of her mouth is bullcrap.

I would give it a shot but I'm not a big fan of synthesis. I'd rather pick refuse

I don't really think you should talk this way about a person who you don't know. It is also forbidden by forum rules.

Going to have to agree, after all Community Manager does entail certain things, like testing the grounds.

Of course, because then I would understand what "synthesis" really is

[Han Shot First]

I totally flubbed that poll.

I should have put yes as the second option (green) and no as the first. (red)

Nope. Then again, I wouldn't have interest if they canonize Destroy or Control either. They created their own mess, by giving us these crappy endings, they should own up and deal with them in a sequel(if they have interest in that). Sad to see that "choices matter" was a rather hollow statement, just like many others.

I don't have to know her, she says a lot of controversial stuff on twitter.

I wouldn't even be interested in ME4 for that matter, let only synthesis as canon.

I do think that Bioware kind of painted themselves into a corner with ME3's endings. Or at least they did if the series is to continue.

If the series is going to live on beyond the Shepard trilogy, than it would have been better to wrap up ME3 in a similar fashion to how Dragon Age: Origins ended. In DA:O there isn't any option to become a Darkspawn or to fuse Darkspawn and the 'good' races together into a new form of life. The only option on the table was destroying the Archdemon. DA:O also had multiple endings, in fact it had more variations of its ending than Mass Effect did. The difference is that in DA:O the quest always ends with killing the Archdemon, and the different endings are achieved by having different epilogues for all the major characters, factions, and settlements that the Warden interacted with in the game. That  should have been the route that Mass Effect went with.

Of course, that ship has sailed.

I cant see how they want to create ME4 with one ending, because the endings were rigid. Refuse is probably the only one, ecause they can have a fresh start(But i dont like it).

After the destroy ending:
The mass effect universe without geth, the citadel and mass relays. (and I personally dont want my shepard to make that choice)

After Synthesis and after control I have problems seeing how they would create an interesting storyline. Because in control shepard could just destroy any enemy with his reaper army. And with synthesis the knowledge gained would make fighting an enemy and having big problems with it (also because the reapers are still around) seem rather unrealistic.

After refuse they could pick up with the dark energy storyline. But I dont really like the Idea of Mass effect without any of the established races.

So frankly I cant see a good Mass Effect 4, that is set after the events of ME3. But I hope Bw is able to do it,

I agree, DA:O dealt with it far better(wether getting Morrigan pregnant or not is canon sucks though ). Thought Da2 left me with a bitter taste in the choices department. I haven't got a clue why they'd choose to have such divergent endings at all. They should have just stuck with what Liara said on Mars. "Ths device destroys Reapers" , and leave it at that.

Well, walters would be pleased with this lol

As for me...nope. It would be just a little bit too creepy and out of place. "We are all unified together but we have to fight one another..."

I don't really know how synthesis works but every time I look at a reaper I remember the Collector Base - sadly I do not think that Walters/Hudson remembered that when they thought up synthesis...

[TheCrazyHobo]

No....God no....

However, I do believe that Bioware would not choose Synthesis as the canon ending as it seems to be the least popular of the three endings.

[CronoDragoon]

No. All other considerations aside, Synthesis is just plain boring to me. Now, a Control universe where Shepard-Catalyst is malfunctioning? That would be interesting, even as someone who picked Destroy.

[Theodoro]

Interested in Mass Effect 4 with synthesis canon?

I'd be appalled by it - not being interested would be an understatement.

That would be the final nail in the coffin for BioWare if they decided to take that route.

[breakdown71289]

Well if Bioware is smart, they won't make any of these endings "canon", as it would just ****** off anyone who didn't choose the ending that Bioware chose as their canon. Not quite sure that a ME4 is needed though.

[Codename_Code]

Synthesis is an inevitability, of course : We are eternal. The pinnacle of evolution and existence. Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything.

[Skullheart]

I'll avoid any future project from walters and hudson. Maybe even from bw.

...and it's the truth. Deal with it.

If synthesis is inevitable, why rush it along? Why force it when it can't be forced?
