Prequels won't work in the ME universe for one very important reason: CHOICE

Unlike Halo, Gears of War, or any other series out there, Mass Effect depends more heavily on player choice. You can say that was taken away all you want to in ME3, but at the end of the day you still decided the fates of entire species (Quarian, Geth, Krogan) before ever reaching the game's ending.

You can't change the history of games that would be set before ME1. History is set in stone. There would be no major choices to make that would have an effect on the ME universe, because it would all have to play out the same.

Sorry, it's not. Please, no rachni wars, no krogan wars, no First Contact wars. Give us the future, give us back exploration (I'll even tolerate scanning if I can take a vehicle across some landscape), give us a great wide galaxy where anything can happen and something new could be around any corner. There are plenty of threats still out there. Rogue geth pissed off about their lost gods, krogan and salarian extremists out to destroy each other, human racism won't die with Cerberus, turian racism didn't die with Saren, the Terminus will continue to crawl with terrorists and criminal empires, and of course there are the Leviathans, ready to take back their place as the "apex species." We've seen the past. Make tomorrow exciting again.

Absolutely, Mass Effect Universe is now like the farwest, the next frontier...exciting, misterious, adventurous.

Once a company gets into the prequel phase they never get out of it it's like a black hole or turtle tower it's crapy prequels all the way down. No thanks, BW needs to do sequels and move forward with the series.

Yeah I'd much rather have a sequel than a prequel. ME4 please.

[Volc19]

Less of a prequel, more of a spin off. It should occur before the Reaper War, but it shouldn't be centered around an event we know about. A perfect example would be a game about mercs in the Terminus, using completely new characters (besides a few mainstays of the area, like Aria or Vido) and a completely new storyline.

That way, we don't have to either create a canon ending, homogenize all three endings to the point where nothing matters, or make a boring standard prequel. Everyone wins.

[CroGamer002]

The only way there can be post-ME3 game is for Bioware to create multiple different games with own stories that follow each ending.

Am I the only one who'd like to see a Cerberus game?

Think of the character custimozation

[erilben]

You wouldn't necessarily know the end of a prequel. The galaxy is big, you don't know the history of all of it.

Isn't the galaxy a little too tame now after the Reapers are gone? Everyone's getting along, rebuilding everything, making nice. Where's the conflict in the future?

[Tyrannosaurus Rex]

Sorry, but I want a spy-game set between 2157 and 2183.

No prequel, we know the main events. Boring.

I have a few questions,  what makes the ME galaxy the ME galaxy?
Is it the current races of aliens we have? I think so.
Is it the relays and biotics? Has to be cos they use Mass Effect/eezo etc.
Can they do a game with no Humans in it? MM not really, we need the human view point as we are human, mostly...

So it needs to be set at least around now in ME terms or no Humans with space flight, biotics etc. It needs to be therefore set after the current Reaper threat somehow.

If Synthesis is canon there IS no conflict because its all unicorns, rainbows and happy Disney bunnies. (and some said Shep living was a Disney ending! Huh!)

If Control is canon well, here we go fighting Reapers - again! Why? Shreaper god is in control and will kick asses that don't keep the peace with the monstrous regiment of Reapers.... No conflict, no story.

Which leaves... Destroy. So we have maybe some but not all Relays working, and many worlds in ruins, and we have the usual mercs taking advantage of everyone they can while the good folks all try to help each other. We also may well have some worlds, like Earth where many species all are living together because they got more or less cut off from their home worlds by the war.

We also got the Leviathans and their globes with which they can control folks out there... but they themselves are stuck on a watery planet because their thrall races are their "hands" to make tech. Well we can nuke the planet from orbit, that's them and the balls dealt with. Good enough for Ripley, good enough for me!

Logically, in my opinion, there you have one at least canvas on which to build a game.

Totally second that.

[GiarcYekrub]

No, I agree with the no prequel statement but I am vehemently against Canonising any ME choices, I had Splinter Cell: Conviction and that was so jarring as it disregarded how I completed Double Agent.

Just because there getting along at the end of ME3, doesn't mean to say they will stilll be getting along 500 years later, especially not with a newly resurgent Krogan breeding unchecked, the Rachni out there doing there thing, etc.

Theres lots of scope for conflict & mayhem even if BW canon synthesis, as long as they set the next game far enough in the future.

[iSousek]

No prequels

I'd hate to see BioWare becoming hostage to their own endings. I want to know that the ME franchise can move in both directions, and not just spawn meaningless prequels

[Kataphrut94]

How about just no more Mass Effect games? No one can decide on whether they want a sequel or a prequel or whatever and Mass Effect 3 ended definitively enough to wrap everything up and close off all the avenues for future sequels.

[ioannisdenton]

Make a ME game where the cental character is KAI LENG!!

You can even Kill Thane.
that would be great!
/flameshield

Now on a serious note what i would like to see is a Bioware game where the main character is Evil . has this been done before?
