No. Unless synthesis is ancient history, and I'm playing as an organic against the synthesis-born reapers of a new era.

[Wayning_Star]

Moot point considering ther'll be NO ME 4.

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?

God no. They shouldn't even try making ME4 if they honestly think they can still justify Synthesis. Bioware's already removed the heart and soul of the franchise. They should just let it pass on with at least a shred of dignity.

All that means is everyone will be synthesized regardless of ending in the distant future.
 
The only way Synthesis would be a consistent continuation is if people were breaking indoctrination and the story was llike The Matrix on a galactic scale. However, I doubt anyone would want the failure of Shepard to resist indoctrination long enough to stop the Reapers to be canon.

Nope, but maybe if destory was canon then we got a winner.

I voted maybe, if they actually do make a game that far in the future such that either synthesis occurred eventually or by Shep's choice, it would be largely irrelevant as to whether or not I think the game is good.

It doesn't even sound like this is making synthesis canon though, it sounds like making all endings fit into the next game, but reduce the added complexity of considering the end choice of ME3 by avoiding the cretion of 3 extremly distinct universes.

Synthesis by definition can never occur naturally.  It's the joining of 2 or more things to create a new entity, but it's always done artificially.

I never said naturally, I said eventually.

If you could do some of the things like in Watch Dog or modify your character like in Deus Ex. That would make a sick game.
Hell yeah I would play that.

Exactly, destroy is the ending that's most 'free' and is best suited for sequel. Lots of stuff going after a war like that.

Synthesis is supposed to end all wars and bring eternal peace. How do you want to make a game out of that?

Besides I hope that Jessica means that integrating technology into our bodies will become normal in the future. But there's a f***cking difference between doing that on our own terms and being forced to accept that+brain-re-write.

Uh if they canon a ending (which they will) it will be destroy since most people choose it. But synthesis being canon there is no way in h*** I would buy me4 if that was true and many agree

[Paranoidal nemesis]

Synthesis made me feel like everyone in the galaxy betrayed Shepard. They ascend to nearly god-like beings, while everyone that came before are inferior life forms. Why would any of the synthesized beings mourn the people that died to make it happen? The intellectual distance between them is too great for them to relate anymore.

However, Synthesis interests me for the possibilities that can occur. I would kill to have dlc that takes place after the events of ME3, and features Shepard being the last organic left in the galaxy, mistrustful of everyone. alienated by your LI, but forging an uneasy alliance with the Normandy's crew. There are plenty of truly sinister things that could happen as a result of synthesis (the reapers weren't designed to have freewill, how would a being consisting of millions of dead souls, and going through the immensely traumatizing experience of being processed into a reaper, react to having freewill?)

That's one of my outlandish ideas at least.

[Wayning_Star]

I'm waiting for Leviathan to decide just how much of a ME fan I am. I think ALL ME fans will buy the DLC(s) when they come out, and would buy anything Mass Effect 4, if it were to be produced.

I think everyone should NOT go to those sites and proof read the stories before purchase though. I think that's what led the charges, false or true, about the 'crappyness' of ME3. Many were soured by the fact that they didn't actually play it through, which makes it too easy to just get all predisposed with other detractors clamoring for your ear/eyes.

I think the hooplah about synthesis is getting as much negative feedback as other choosers take offensives against anything but their chosen ending. Heck, the game has three,er four, but I don't count that one..lol. I've since stopped railing against other choices folks make with the game. Other than the run away ending, cause it came too late to be part of the game, and really shouldn't of been included later.

As far as synthesis being 'canon', I'd say that was over the gist of the game, not user demanded. The writers cast that mold with the cause and effect of technology. Mostly exaggerated by anti-fans, the reslolution of it seems inevitable,as the other choices leave room for reapers to return, or leaves one about, even if 'ran' by Shepard, so we're still 'stuck' with some kind of synthesis with that one anyways.

The idea of a sequel to ME3 seems doubtful, as DLC's are more likely. They're easier to make and cheaper than a whole new game to buy. I'd be happy to get around three DLC's to explain each decision from some other perspective. As each is really left vague in the finale of ME3. This leaves for dis satisfaction,even with hard core ME fans.

The catalyst is probablyy the first critter to need more explanation, and I hope the Leviathan will eleviate my emptyness with it's creation and eventual running amok. But I will just have to wait'n see there.

So NO I'd not worry too much about ME4, as ME3 has yet to play out..thats what all the ruckess is about with the grumpy fans as is. DLC is probably not the best way to "finish" a trilogy...(if that is what, indeed, is happening?)

imnsho...

[sg1fan75]

NO!

[Gogzilla]

I would like for this to happen so much.

Not because i am such a huge fan of synthesis, but because i want people to go crazy over it becoming the cannon ending.

I can imagine all the hate and whining already,

It will be a glorious trolololol day.

Synthesis is asking the Old Machines to give us a future.
Destroy is making our own future.

[happy_diplomat]

EA will be sold after Dragon Age 3 tanks unfortunately, and there is already a lot of buzz that EA may sell well before that. There is no chance for a successful ME4 game. It lost exclusivity on majority of sports games that were bread and butter. It sucks that major North American publishers are falling into such big ruts. Only by ignoring premium talent, and letting them focus on just one project, has been the real slow fall of EA, and the crippling business plan that hurts development companies within the managed studios. Whenever 1 person takes the wheel and ignores the rest of the crew, we all know what comes next...

[TheGreatDayne]

If it allows me to play as a race other than human, then so be it...

I'd prefer they do a reboot (so that I can get the first game, whatever it may be) though... Well, the squad mates are what really matter to me... I find them more interesting than Shepard, to be honest... So, whatever gives me interesting people to talk to (with the ability to choose my race as a bonus).

[Googleness]

1. synth is basically green husks end.
2. even if shep died at destroy did it stooped him before from coming back? he was spaced then crashed through atmosphere into an ice planet and managed to survive.

[ToaOrka]

I'd only be interested in Mass Effect IV if dead Reapers were how we won the war and the "galaxy" never chose Synthesis.

Council dying in ME1 was canon.

But alot of people decided that didnt cut it.

Thankfully its Mass Effect so the game prefers our canon over Bioware canon if we put down the effort.

[darkway1]

I think Mass4 will sell bucket loads (synthesis or no synthesis)......people love the Mass universe.I honestly think Mass 3 was doomed from the start,it's whole focus was about wrapping up the story and characters,the conclusion of the mass trilogy.......I don't think it was even possible to wrap up the Mass story arch with in the constraints of a single game.......but they tried and the result left most fans unsatisfied.

Mass4 would represent a fresh start and introduce a batch of new characters.......on that basis alone,I think people will invest their time and money..........the Mass universe after all is fantastic one.

Sorry, but no, there are no player decisions in ANY Mass Effect game that are considered canon, and it should stay that way, including for sequels. I don't care that Lucas Arts established a "canon playthrough" for KotOR 1 and 2 to make things comprehensible to Star Wars fans that don't play games. This is Mass Effect. What matters for a sequel is: Can Bioware think up a way for ALL Mass Effect playthoughs to be viable for import into a sequel, do they have the imagination to make that happen?

I have some ideas, and if I had to make such a game, I'd design it to bind all galaxy-altering decisions from the previous games into one single ending, while focussing the choice for alternatives mostly to the players' personality and social behaviour instead. So no Geth vs Quarian or Destroy/Synth/Control/Refuse decisions, but more emotional decisions like Kaiden vs Ashley, or Jack vs Miranda.

If we want to keep the Mass Effect universe alive and a viable investment for future development, then that is the only way to do it: clean up the mess after the first three games, and limit decisions that put the whole galaxy upside down. Galaxy altering variations simply cost too much to maintain at some point.
