I want it to be sequel trilogy set after the events of Mass Effect 3 but in a distant future were Shepard is a legend and almost a myth. The new hero/heroine should be a lawless criminal from the terminus system and not another Alliance member like Shepard. The Leviathans need to be linked with the new threat or being present in the new trilogy. No matter what choice you make after Mass Effect 3 the Leviathans are still here wanting to retake control of the galaxy.

My idea is as I posted in another thread. It's long so brace yourselves.
After reading around the Mass Effect wiki (mainly ones about Earth) , I came up with some ideas for future Mass Effect games.
Here they are:
A game that fleshes out Earth & other Planets too.
You, the player can be either from the Spacer, colonist or Earthborn background. They decided to move to Earth sometime in their history for reasons currently unknown. You have been recruited into either the United North American States Military/National guard, European Union or the Chinese Peoples Federation.
After proving yourself on an important mission, You are offered a place in The Systems Alliance. Perhaps even the N7 program.
This game(s) would really flesh out Earth. For example, the game would go deep into the government structure, economic trade with other planets, explore the nations that haven't progressed past 20th century technology & also show what other races get up to when on Earth such as the Turians, Asari, Salarians etc. Especially Turians & what they think of humanities achievments.
I'd assume there would be people from other races living on Earth, more than we think. Which would be interesting to dive into. (Remember that conversation [I think it was on the citadel] in Mass Effect 3, some Asari was talking about how her daughter or something was on Earth supplying aid on Earth when the Reapers hit. We could see that in the game maybe?)
Maybe you could have an Asari on your squad who is obsessed with Earths complex culture (much like how Liara is obsessed with the protheans).
Of course, this is Mass Effect. And you would go about the Galaxy, doing quests and visiting places like The Citadel & maybe places like Thessia & Palaven. The game could also flesh out those home worlds too.
In the later games there could also be a main focus on the Reaper invasion of Earth & what it was like for Earths armies (& all the other aliens stranded on earth at that time) to be cut off from the majority of the systems Alliance. Something we never saw in Mass Effect 3 that much. These later games would have a much darker tone than what we are used to seeing in the Mass Effect series.
Imagine if there were epic moments during the reaper invasion as described here:
"While reporting, Emily Wong witnesses a Reaper descending through Earth's atmosphere into airspace over Los Angeles
She eventually arrives at El Monte Airport, where she meets some members of the National Guard who are attempting to hold off the Reapers with anti-aircraft guns. The National Guard and their air support lead a counter-attack which is ultimately ineffective.
Wong realizes that the signal she is broadcasting led the Reaper forces to that location. In an attempt to escape in a sky van, Wong is shot at and injured as the Alliance forces and airport are destroyed. Bleeding badly and without any other weapons to use, she steers her sky van toward an approaching Reaper at ramming speed. Her signal is subsequently lost, and she is presumed dead."
-Description of Emily Wong during Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect Wiki.
This also allows a character from previous Mass Effect games, such as Emily Wong to make a Cameo return (You could also bump into other, classic characters too while on the Citadel and so on and join them on quests). Fighting alongside Anderson on Earth is a must too.
Maybe we will get to witness all those stories from planets during the reaper invasion we hear people talk about on the citadel. Like that Asari posted to Tiptree. And a Shepard Cameo is needed too.
The Ending of the new trilogy could be affected by your Mass Effect 3 save file as well. You could fight alongside shepards forces in the final battle for Earth. Your ME3 save file could determine the ending of your game & the fate of the characters. This new game could also flesh out ME3's ending too by showing you what happened to the characters you loved fom both the classic ME trilogy like Garrus & Liaria & the new line of games. You might even get to see the fate of shepard and how that changes due to your choices in ME3.
The games would ultimatly progress beyond ME3's ending. And dive deep into the aftermath of the war, and how your choices from ME3 and the new games play out.
Anyway, I could literally sit here for hours fleshing out my ideas more, but I realise that you guys don't have all day to read.
That's my idea.

As mentioned elsewhere.
I am still hoping main character is like a space trader or something and goes through wormhole or newly discovered/activated relay into another galaxy, one that has new races, new worlds, new people, new companions and new story.
Maybe in that galaxy there have been other ships from previous galaxy who got caught up in it and sent there in the past many centuries ago (which could of got trapped and sent their prior to the war with Reapers so don't even know of Shepard or Reapers) and they formed colonies over those centuries so that some of the races from previous galaxy could also be present among the new ones.
The technology would comprise of similar technology for those races already know in their colonies and new technology that the other new races whom we never met before which are indigenous to that galaxy have evolved differently. The indigenous races have superiority over our known races colonies, their technology is vastly different and mostly superior plus due to population differences the indigenous races have dominance over the races we have met whom have smaller colonies in this new galaxy.
The two main things could do I expect is go down either the route of passing of time or taking place elsewhere.
Think about some of the most major scifi franchises like Star Trek or Stargate, Star Wars even.
Star Wars uses the timeline to create new stories, takes place in the future or past. Star Trek uses both timeline akin to Generations and Enterprise or new galaxy aka location type such as Universe or Voyager even to a degree Deep Space 9 then there's Stargate which uses the location change for example Atlantis. Personally I would want location change rather than timeline change even though would not be upset if they used timeline type. You also have ones like Buck Rogers which is timeline based set in future. Timeline based requires all much more reliance on what has happened before which is a huge limitation on ability to craft new story (imho), location change requires very little or no reliance and allows for more scope in the new story.
One thing I hope they never use is reboot or alternative reality. That would put me off buying it unfortuantly for three reasons...dejavu or events/people/locations, the invalidation of previous trilogies events and everything I did in it plus lastly also I would spend the entire time every couple minutes going "that isn't what happened..." and that would annoy me a lot.

I think it would be very cool if Mass Effect 4 would have a first person perspective like bioshock or fallout 3. Not only would it be a boost for mass effect fans to play something new and different (+ a new story). It would probably bring in an new audience as well. There should still be an character creation process, even if you can't see your face (maybe in a mirror).
Also the game could be like Dragon Age Origins. Where gamers could create any alien creature, atleast the more important ones and characters treat you differently accordingly. The character in my opinion doesn't have to be voiced, I guess it would be less work without one and I think the fans would love to play as a salarian or quarian for example.
Dialoge and cinematic storytelling should remain aswell, but with a first person perspective I know you could come up with something new and exciting. And if Oculus rift could be implemented and see the Mass Effect universe as if it would be real would be very cool.
In terms of the story I have no Idea.

What I'd really love is just to continue with Shepard, but what I am realistically expecting is a prequel, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I've been expecting something to do with the Contact Wars or another conflict that's been mentioned in the game. Another thing I think would be cool is to play Shepard's origin, based on those choices from the first game: Spacer, Colonist, or Earthborn and the psychological profile: Sole Survivor, War Hero, or Ruthless.

The next ME game should be sequel set 5 or so years into the future while the Mass Relays are still being rebuilt, along with all the other stuff that needs to be built back up. And while all the rebuilding work is going on, maybe a civil war gets started, for some reason unknown. And maybe see some of you're old friends from the previous games, and in some way help them with the pain caused by the death of Shepard, especially his/her love interest. I think playing as a Batarian would be cool. You could be one that try's to reunite the Batarian's! You could work with them and try to get them to be nice again, and actually work with other specie so they can help with all the rebuilding that needs to be done. What's left of them anyways.

Let us choose what species the main character belongs too! Let us choose Human, Quarian, Turian etc.
Regarding the story, make it that we are freelance or something. So whatever race we are, the general story can be the same.

please not make this a mmo.
other than that give us true drop in drop out co-op mp with upto 4 friends. make teaming easy, so if i'm human and my buddy is a salarian or volus, we don't get confused as to where to go and what to do.
and also keep it third person. too many fps games out there

Have to say I'm not in favour of this in the main campaign. The combat bit is fine, but ME has always mixed combat and narrative, often with decision making, conversation choices made by the main protaganist. To accomodate co-op wouldn't they have to dilute the story so your 4 main protaganists could make decisions that didn't affect the path of others players? Or if others join your game, perhaps as crew members, you could make decisions for them that are completely out of character.HeavyTankZA wrote...

Sorry this is an RPG first as far as I'm concerned. Sadly, other players often tend to screw that up.
That said, I'd be more than happy for a more structured MP side of the game as long as it didn't have too much impact on the SP.

As others have stated, don't turn this into a first-person-shooter, ever! One of the main things that makes Mass Effect great is the fact that it's in third-person. Keep it this way BioWare and Electronic Arts.

Retry another mobile app, just do not half-ass it like the current ME3 data pad. The datapad was a good idea, just poorly executed and coded. A few ideas to improve the next version:
1. Thoroughly test the app for bugs & responsiveness. The current version throws up unneeded, poorly trapped errors & displays the same messages about requiring a network connection when there is one is aggravating. Add on the lag in the UI just made me stop using it
2. Android & Windows Phone. Despite being a WP user I get why you over looked us, but Android? It would have been nice to use it on my Android tablet. iOS devices are not the majority (check Gartner).
3. Allow more than sending ships, maybe assign ground troops, random recuse ops. You can still keep it time based as is now, but provide more places that we can hit. Maybe even send more than one ship to a planet. Heck, you could go as far as if a planet is lost it is removed from your game until you get it back.
4. Keep it free. Do not tie to a season pass.
Like I said, great concept, just poorly executed and far too limited in availability.

Allow the co-op with the understanding that you are joining someone else's universe. Keep it separate or allow the second, third or fourth play to try to convince you to make another choice, but either way it does not affect your game. As long as the main person has complete control of their story line I see no problem with it. Otherwise I agree with you.KoorahUK wrote...

I'd like my choices to matter.... Alotta personal and unique characters to bond with + tons of dialogue. Abit more variation to gear customization. Huge scale epic that makes your skin crawl! Oh and ofcourse Jennifer Hale!
If it can't be about Shepard then place it like thousand years in the future. Start from the clean table please.

Mostly I'd just like to recommend that whatever comes next hire a professional scriptwriter to flesh out a clearly defined story so we don't end up with inconsistencies in plot or a story improperly foreshadowed. I don't particularly care about the setting: before, after, paralleling, different galaxy doesn't really matter as long as it's graphically appealling, has good combat, and great characters to interact with (undoubtedly BW's greatest strength.)
Also, I'd like to see subsequent DLC's bear relevance across the game. Like the latest Citadel DLC ends returning to the Normandy with no further discussion of so many notorious events (same with Leviathan and Omega). A few well place references and quibs among crewmates would do the trick. Some of your crewmates might take issue with you helping Aria retake Omega...I'd like to see that in game. I imagine there are plenty of highly intelligent people at BW to make that happen.
Oh yeah, keep MP separated from SP story. Don't care that MP is included, but it doesn't belong tied to story. MP is for buddies that want to hang out and shoot stuff; SP is for people looking for an immersive experience.
ADD 1: Don't know the feasibility for this but it would be cool to see some variability in the types and ways enemies spawn from playthrough to playthrough. Starting a new game and the system analyzes previous game and alters enemy positions and troop types. If that could be taken further with a small amount of randomization of the environment that would be super cool, (tougher to do with environments but I don't think it would have to be huge changes.) As fun as ME3's combat was, after awhile you get to know every corridor, room, enemy size and disposition. This might be the next natural evolution to the game. Bioware games already have the highest degree of replayability, so keep it going.
