I think one might work, as long as that character isn't a carbon copy of his or her parents. differing personality, style, perhaps skill sets as well.
That's my problem, they'll most likely ending being exactly like them personality wise and they'll end up trying to live up to their parents reputation.
I hope they bring back the crazyness that was present in a lot of renegade options in ME2. "You're working too hard", "how about goodbye", "you talk to much", "run, there is a bomb", headbutting a Krogan, casually shooting mercs and robots, etc...
I like to play with a Shepard that enjoys violence, at ME2 really allowed me to do that. At least more than the other two, especially ME3.

Races: Human, Asari, Turian, Drell, Quarian, etc: Shepard is gone, and we deserve to pick what race we play as!
Planet exploring, better interactions, more classes. Deeper customization. Everything from race to ship to weapons to whatever. Make the world truly ours.
I always wanted to play as a Quarian, and there are those who want to hit the game as one or a Turian or a Krogan, deserve to be able to.
Please do it bioware.....
After the Reaper invasion all nearly all of Earth’s governments would be in ruins and the few world leaders left were indoctrinated there would be a huge power vacuum. What will take its place and would there be a war (or wars) over who is in charge?
And not just Earth.
One of the most important things about the new cast is that they should have no relation to any of the ME trilogy characters. Its time for some fresh new characters and new bloodlines (any descendents from the characters of the main trilogy will just be a 2.0 version of them).
I want complete opposite. More the same characters from old mass effects, then better because it allows characters to develop. I rather have few characters that have great personality than lots of new that has only little personality.
One reason why mass effect was so good, that they could build their characters more, when they appeared more than once.

This only works based on which ending you choose(I'm not referring to the stupid color explosion. but the actual outcome of each)
**ME3 Ending SPOILER!!**
On one ending the reapers would help rebuild.
On another the reapers are gone, so indoctrination would eventually fade. Look at Shiala.

I agree with this. But you can't bring back everyone. The best I think you can do is like an ME2. Where there's only a couple and the rest is a totally new cast.

The problem with that is that those sort of characters become boring/stale very quickly, new characters with new personalities can help keep the franchise fresh.
This speculation is as sad and pathetic (and justified) as the hand-wringing and whining was that followed the trilogy's conclusion. Rather than post your dreams or predictions about ME4 [sic] why not look at Bioware's track record with the franchise and deal with the reality of what's likely to come in 2015. The best predictor of the future is the past...
(1) I've read that there will be no Sheppard in every article published about this topic. That means that there will for sure be Sheppard, in some capacity, in ME4. Legend or whatever. Ghost or omni-present codex entries. Sheppard's narrative is impossible not to reference if the storyline takes place anywhere in the universe, anytime in the future. No matter what (sweet) option you chose in ME3, pretty sure everyone heard about it...Like we have BC and AD here on earth, the ME universe must have a BS and AS timeline. (Even if they don't call the main protagonist Sheppard, or find find some clever literal way to preclude him, I am sure you can make 'it' look like Sheppard and even make people call your character Sheppard. So whats the difference and why bother...Just admit it. It's Sheppard. And that's fine.)
(2) Not a sequel to ME3? I bet you it is and what's more, I bet you it better be if they (EA, Bioware, PS, XBOX) expect players to not only pony up for the game, but a nex-gen console to play it. I thought all the DLC's were ridiculous as a 'late to the party' player, but spending another $50 on ME3 DLC seems quaint compared to what will be REQUIRED to play ME4.
(3)Sound and fury signifying nothing. The trilogy achieved what it did by offering players, the illusion of a 'choose your own adventure' book set in space on a gaming console/PC. Ultimately, as most of us discovered when we were in elementray school, these stories end in roughly the same way no matter what route you took to get to the last page. It's partly the mechanics of the narrative and partly the fact that it's a story, not reality. As a result, ME4 and its almost certain to follow sequels, ME5 and ME6, are as likley to be a let down as was the conclusion in ME3. This is simply because, you can not make all the possible premutations matter in the end, because that would require all permutations get their own distinct ending. Not happening no matter what the processing power nexgen consoles and PC provide. In the end, it will look pretty, but all will be left wanting in the end...
PS-The opening scene of ME$ (oops, typo) ME4 should be Sheppard in the shower and whom ever your love interest was, being shocked to see him/her, exclaiming, "I've just had the craziest dream..."
I think it would be cool if you guys added a little more Gore to the game like shooting off limbs or tearing of body parts with your biotics. I also think it would be cool if you added executions/finishing moves unique to your character/class.

I dunno about that... the Williams family has a backstory that could be interesting in the context of a male scientist/researcher type of NPC. Ashley's nephew or great-nephew, who could be standing strong against the family military tradition.
That sort of thing could work for one character. More than one would be annoying.

Shiala survived indoctrination because of the Thorian. Anyone else who has been fully indoctrinated is left little more than a drooling vegetable. Plus look at history whenever there is a power vacuum or a political or financial upheaval people tend to turn to extremist factions be it right, left, religious or ideological, lead by a charismatic (they may not be to outsiders but to insiders they are) leader. Even recently the GFC financial troubles in Greece saw a temporary rise of the Golden Dawn party (Greek neo-Nazis).
I believe Destroy will become cannon and it would be interesting if humans became the bad guys. Maybe a playing a human becoming a traitor to his/her own race to save it

Problem is that the back story could end up being similar to Ashley's (at least one of her parents and grandparents were military) and end up comparing the two, so I still think that its better for the new cast should have no ties to any of the trilogy ones.
storytelling that makes sense and isn't open to interpretation would be nice.
(takes in a breath)
with a definite, singular conclusion.

Then what would even be the point of importing your save file into ME4. It has already been announced that this will be possible.
EDIT:
Nevermind. They said it might happen. It's not guaranteed at this point. I hope it will though. After ME3. I want some of my decisions to matter lol

Honestly, having one ending be canon would pretty much say " Hey everyone, the entire premise of making choices were BS." Bioware, for the love of your fans, do NOT make any choice canon. That is why I love your games. It's our story that we want to share. Our choices that makes the story our own. It doesn't put us on rails and force us down one path like other games out there. Like Gears of War, Halo, Killzone, or many others.
Bethesda has made BEAUTIFUL and BIG games, so why not Bioware? Why not drop EA like a sack of crap (Which is what EA really is) and work with Bethesda? Bring in AWESOME companies like Obsidian and some others to make an AWESOME, Jaw Dropping, MASSIVE Mass Effect MMO that is free to play right out of the gate, and to where there would be NO pay to win, or without the screw over that became Star Wars TOR after it went F2P with having to pay cash just to equip decent gear, or pay $5 to unlock the helmet toggle. If anything, look at how Cryptic is handling F2P MMO games with Star Trek Online.
Is this a rant at SWTOR? No. Although, SWTOR does need a major overhaul on their F2P model if they still want to keep the fans. But anywho...I don't want to get off track.
I know...Haters are going to hate....But, in the end, with as much as people complained about how the Tali picture was handled, I seriously doubt that Casey Hudson or anyone from Bioware is really going to listen to the fans.
I also forgot to mention that I would really like to play as a Quarian Vanguard with biotic charge. Throw incinerate, biotic charge (beating Incinerate to the target) walk away, then let incinerate finish off the baddies. I mean why not? We have a Biotic Krogan, Turian, Volus. Why not have a biotic Quarian? Nothing in the lore says a Quarian can't have Biotic abilities.

This will be hard to achieve, especially if it takes place anywhere in the future, even thousands of years. The decision had such a huge impact on the galaxy.

MMO? Ewww.
Agreed. Totally a bad idea for the series

Just forget about the trilogy and go AU/reboot. Keep Shepard's story a self-contained arc. Problem solved.

Doing a reboot when the main trilogy isn't even 10 years old is a bad idea, a sequel based on the destroy ending will be the bets move (though it make a decent number of people unhappy) and with an AU you may as well start a new franchise instead.
Being able to pick your own powers for each class. And if we have armor add an armor bar so after shields/barrier go down we have the armor bar then health, and if the armor bar goes all the way down it breaks in till the end of the mission or if you repair it with a repair armor power.

I don’t know about an armour repair skill but you could have a limited amount of omni-gel to do repairs to your armour, just not during battle, between fights you could use your omni-tool to repair your armour. But I would suggest that every time you repair your armour you lose some “armour points” and the only way to get your armour points back up is to buy new equipment.
This would also be good in hazardous environments. That if your armour/envoi suit gets damaged you will lose health until you repair it.

If it is a bad idea, then it's Bioware's own fault for ending the trilogy the way they did. Canonizing one of them will basically put the entire audience on notice that "your choices only matter as long as we say so". (well, they did that already, but I digress)
An AU would still have mass relays, eezo, biotics, asari, turians, etc. It would still be Mass Effect. Just not a Mass Effect where Shepard's trilogy happened. And none of the baggage that goes with it.
