Its essentially Star Trek, but different enough...screw it, its the same.

Lol =D

I really really like this idea.

Leaves room for a new viable threat instead of falling back on the Leviathan or another insurmontably powerful big bad like the Reapers. Plus, the set up would promote exploration, which I want back in the series.

Also, I forgot to add, this would support having multiple playable races because it would be a Council initiative, not an Alliance one.

I would be in favour of a prequel personally. Something like the Krogan Rebellions or the Morning War/Geth War. I think a sequel after the reapers would be a mistake personally. I think this was the problem with Dragon Age 2; After the blight it just seemed a lot more shallow than Origins.

But I would also play a sequel if the story was good. I would quite like to see some returning characters such as Garrus, Tali or Liara. After playing through the trilogy it feels like you've formed a bond with these characters so having a Mass Effect game without them wouldn't feel right (to me anyway). It would be difficult though as peoples endings would have been different unless they canonise the ending.
If they did do so then I would say make it as the destroyer ending and someone is trying to rebuild the galaxy. I would not say no to playing as Shepard again in this way. Perhaps he's been made the human councilor in the aftermath and he has to do things such as restarting the mass relays, repairing the geth and EDI (assuming destroy was the canon ending), trying to keep the krogans and turians friendly.
There's plenty they could do with that and it would make those happy that are in favour of Shepard alive with his/her LI by his side and what not as well.
If they didn't canonise it then doing something like the ME2: Genesis DLC where you make the key decisions before you start such as whether Wrex was alive, who survived the suicide mission, the LI, which ending was chosen etc. and playing from that.
In fact the more I write that idea the more I would prefer a sequel!

I would also be in favour of choosing your race, sick to death of playing as a human.

I can see though why it would be a tough choice though as both a sequel and a prequel would have it's good and bad points.

Just make sure it's primarily focused on single player and keep multiplayer to a minimum. ME3 online was fun, it doesn't need anything more than that though.

In short, for me: If it was a prequel, then krogans rebellions or geth war. If it's a sequel, then Councilor Shepard/(Insert name of new character if Shep is playing a harp on some clouds) would be perfect for me.

I have to disagree on the world of Thedas being more shallow after the blight in DA: Origins.  DA2 actually had a good plot in my opinion.  It's just that the game was rushed that made it crappy compared to Origins.

[clone wars]

not a prequel if a prequel is made the choices from  any prequel will have to be put in to me 1 or me2 or me3 and that will be hard to do

maybe something from first contact war era will be nice

[AllThatJazz]

 While I would eventually love to see a 'sequel', or at least a game set after the Reaper War (preferably with a canonised high EMS Destroy ending, for the sake of simplicity), I would also really like to see some shorter episodic ME content, like The Walking Dead. Something like this could be set at any time during the ME timeline (or indeed at various times), and could flesh out various characters we already know and moments we know a little about but are still kind of vague. There are plenty of prequel/midquel stories that are interesting enough to be explored, but maybe not compelling or mysterious enough for a full 30-40 hour campaign.

I could see this either as several episodes that form a linked series, or as individual episodes that have the player take part in key events in ME history. A couple of examples of the former - we play as Garrus Vakarian in a sort of Mass Effect:CSI (C-Sec Investigations ) mini prequel, from when he starts at C-Sec, all the way up to when he first meets Shepard. We solve apparently separate crimes which then turn out to be linked, not only to each other but also to a rogue spectre named Saren ... Or we play one of a small group of Citadel survivors during the events of ME3 (after the Citadel has been moved) as they try to escape or just stay alive as Reaper forces close in.

Individual episodes could be almost anything - we play a human scientist who helps discover the Prothean ruins on Mars; a soldier during the FC War, the leader of a Krogan unit in a pivotal moment of the Rachni Wars; a Turian general charged with deploying the Genophage; Aria T'loak or Wrex Urdnot during their confrontation on Omega; hell, even a member of a thrall race whose people are being destroyed by synthetics, and who has been ordered by his Masters to begin construction of an AI that will 'solve' the organic-synthetic problem ... Loads of the ME Universe could be explored in this way, while still allowing for a meatier sequel a bit further down the line.

Only option is prequel => weird.
a) There is no person more important than Shepard during ME trilogy => no parallel side story to ME trilogy
Because of ****ed up ending => no sequel

[EldredTBMO]

The Mass Effect trilogy should be only trilogy and nothing more. Just create something new.

Until the end of the ME3 the lore that was built the whole time could be used to surprisingly and smartly close the most epic game story in universe, create unforgedable legacy of ideas of the life ... but the ending was garabage without head. When you are too lazy to open your (lost) lore, then learn something from this http://masseffectind...on.blogspot.cz/

That charismatic antagonist Harbinger needs to be somewhere at the end. For example instead of starchild.

evyrithing we write down here is just a decoy ... .... explain this Bioware

[Haravikk]

I posted this in another thread too, but my vote for next Mass Effect game is for it be set in the two-years during which Shepard is dead, playing as a C-Sec officer set entirely on the Citadel. With a decent free-roaming style environment, with various investigations that later start to interleave as traces of a much larger plot are uncovered. Throw in some friction with a Spectre or two, maybe even run ins with popular characters from ME2 but before they're known to us, for example Miranda and Jacob on a Cerberus operation, Liara hunting for Shepard/the Shadow Broker etc.

Stakes don't need to be too high, just enough to involve lots of detective work and gun-play, with a healthy dose of characterisation and interaction with the peoples and places of the Citadel.

Given the good size sprawl of Arkham City, which uses the same basic game engine, I think a large streaming Citadel environment should be possible with current generation technology; a nice big chunk of your character's main ward, overlapping onto a piece of the Presidium, with a few detour areas for major missions that take place in other places.

Could be sweet.

[Quitch]

Critically I just want three things from a new game:

1. A focus on character. It's the people around me who matter.
2. Continuity across games. I don't want a new main character with each game and I don't want canon choices. I want my story to move between games like it did in this trilogy.
3. Have some sort of rough plan about the plot. Much as I love the Mass Effect series, games 2 and 3 had some of the weakest main plots in any Bioware game. Look at games like KOTOR and Jade Empire, they sprung surprises towards the end which were woven carefully into the story.

I'm hoping you're not doing a prequel. There's nothing less exciting than a prequel since we know how it all turns out long-term, making your actions feel pointless.

Simple: after the reapers defeat people start asking why the warnings of commander Shepard where not heard, thus more and more planets are asking for independance, thus creating a 3 way galaxy. On one side, you have council space, who is now weakened by the loss of major millitary forces and political collapse. Among other things, the citadel was the heart of the economy, so the situation is bad everywhere and life conditions have dropped sinificantly.

Then you have the independants, who are planets who left council protection to join a new federation/ conflomerate lead by one of the new characters. There you can find Krogan who don't want to follow Wrex, Geth who don't want peace with the Quarians and Batarians that are trying to rebuild their empire.

Then you have the Krogans/Geths/Quarians who have made a very successfull union, where the krogan are the main millitary forces, the Quarians provide ships, while the Geths provides Data and gear.

Tought all of thoses sides wish they could remain independant, there is a conspiracy going on and war is about to start soon. That's the setting.

Now what happened is that the council created their own Cerberus, I called it Aegis but you can name it whatever. It's basicly Cerberus, if cerberus where the good guys and where using every species instead of just one. That would be where Shepard team ended up assuming they survived, So you would have say, Miranda second in command, Garrus in the strike force, Liara on the intel side (I think that now that the alliance and possibly the council knows who she is, she is far too dangerous to be left alone), and EDI has the base AI. Shepard would be in charge, assuming he survived.

From there I can kinda see two options : a) You are now the leader of Aegis strike force wich would make a game very reminicent of the previous one, and where you could try to live up to Shepard with some of the people you know, or you could use previous setting to create a pirate character kinda like what Shepard would have been if he had never joined the millitary. Thus you would be an independant force that would go around doing services for various organisation, and you would have your own cruiser, that would either be stolen or an older model but patched up with some crazy stolen tech, meaning that the ship could look old and still be awesome (kinda like the hyperion in sc2). The ship has to be bigger, if there is no ship it's not mass effect, if it's smaller than the normandy, it's a regression, if it's the same size, it's going to feel like it's a copy, so it has to be bigger.

Then you can bring all the characters you did'nt bring, Batarian tech guy (everyone wants one), Turian biotic lady (I know there is one in Omega but still), Female human sniper( or ingenier), Krogan philosopher (just to break the stereotypes, he could be some shaman whose clan did not survive the war, and thus ended up teaming up with you), Salarian infiltrator (could have lost faith in the governement or something), Asari assasin( Could be lawful evil, in it for the money for exemple)...

Basicly you could be aligned with all the 3 factions above, or true neutral and you would get a different ending from there.

My friend I think you will have to decide that for yourself. No matter what format the new games come in, Shepards story is over. 

In the next game, Shepard is likely to be referenced in a Codex entry or a passing line of dialogue at best, and I wouldn't even hold out for that

[SovereignX6]

If your going to make another Mass Effect, make it a full-out trilogy like this one. The main character should not resemble Shepard at all, as in you have to build to where you want him to be. Such as, in the begging Shepard was remembered as a hero in the Blitz and such. Then he had a good reputation. Make this character the opposite, make him more renegade in the begging somehow that makes him known as a non-popular-renegade type person and from that you build him how you want to,by making decisions. And i think you should play as a Turian or Human as a choice in the game. BW needs to put a lot of time into this, i hope it wont be rushed. Also a sequel.

[KoorahUK]

I was thinking an independent character, not alliance or council, might be interesting - Firefly/Han Solo type rogue or smuggler sucked into bigger things.

[KENNY4753]

Blasto VII: Blasto Cures the Genophage.......

seriously thiough I definitely want a sequel. ME3(despite the endings) leaves a lot of ways for BW go.

1. aftermath of genophage cure
-mass expansion and new rebellions
2. dark energy matter still not resolved
-even though this was scrapped from ME3 the issue is still there
3. damage to the relays and the Citadel
4. problems in race leadership
-council may be dead when Citadel was taken
-new leaders like Victus trying to rebuild
-human counciler spot open (maybe Hackett steps up)
5. Rannoch situation
-will the peace last
-can the geth be rebuilt
6. Leviathans
- with the galaxy in ruins will they try to rise back up
7.new races
-Yahg and Raloi as well as the would be next cycle joining the galactic community
8.squads future
-perhaps Tali becomes Quarian counciler
-maybe Wrex retires and gives Grunt the Krogan throne
-is Jacob the father he wants to be
-Joker and EDI's relationship
9.diseases
-did Kolyat convine Valern to find a cure for Keplar's
-same for Vrolik's
10.the endins themselves
-what happens to Shepard post destroy
-what does Shepard do with his control of the Reapers
-how does the galaxy respond to synthesis

There are many paths to take for a sequel to happen. Don't do a prequel or a midquel because you will have less creativity that way as you would need to not interfere with anything we already have.

Just thought I'd give my opinion

I really like this idea! That way, the game would be set in a galaxy without Shepard, but still wouldn't be a prequel or a sequel. And it would also allow for cameos.

Though I don't think I'll be buying ME4, but you know, in theory...

No prequels.
Don't let technical artists write anything.
All elements of the story must be peer reviewed.
No locking the other writers out of the room because you think something's brilliant; it isn't.
No prequels.
(optional) Bring Drew back

A few story lines that I would like to see explored.

a) Prothean time, even though we know that didn't end too well.
Geth uprising
c) First contact war
d) Rachni wars.
