One thing that bugged me about the original trilogy was how all of the dialogue choices were basically ''Pick Paragon to win!''. I hope they come up with a better system, one that introduces actual reflection into the equation. I actually like DA2 in this regard. There was no right or wrong answer. You can decide to answer diplomatically, sarcastically, or authoritary. Each one was ideal for different situations. When joking with Varric, I'd go sarcastic. When dealing with matters involving the city, I'd be more diplomatic or authoritary. Once your paragon meter was maxed out, you had the easy way out each and every time. Promote a bit of diversity and thinking every now and then. 

 

For example, if an NPC is weak minded, then a renegade approach should give us more rewards/information then a paragon approach. This split should be as close to 50/50 as possible, and not like the 3 ME games which was pick one option, max out your meter, and win every time.

I am quite disappointed its set at same time as of ME1 instead of say 300 years in future.

 

Rewritten this post more than once, taking more than ten minutes to come up with something, but now cant.  *shrugs*  I will wait till it is nearly out before I judge anything more on it. Meaning will wait till E3 reveals more of MENext.

Please give the protagonist an ACTUAL first name!!! "Commander" doesn't count as a first name.

 

http://forum.bioware.../#entry17035904

Technically Shepard's first name was John. BioWare didn't want to limit player expression and choice by forcing a name upon us, however. It's much easier to just be called by a surname which can be gender neutral and give a lot more flexibility than being forced to have a first name.

 

Another suggestion I have that a few are somewhat addressing is a more believable choice system with a lot of difficult moral dilemmas. While the "Paragon" and the "Renegade," especially, could offer entertainment and laughter, it really did break the immersion and made the story less believable.

 

Two great examples that BioWare could take inspiration from are the Mandalorian Wars and The Witcher series. In the former, BioWare even addressed some of the moral dilemmas Revan had to face in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Does he defend the civilian city that the Mandalorians are about to attack? Or does he let millions of innocents die in order to flank the enemy and severely cripple their offensive campaign for future battles? The Witcher is a great example where choices aren't right or wrong. They merely have consequences and you have to be willing to live with them.

 

This is the kind of storytelling I want because this is ultimately what makes people transcend themselves and become heroes or villains. We need tough choices. Outcomes where nobody is really the winner. The final decision of Mass Effect 3 was really a moral dilemma in a lot of ways, even if feedback from the fan base wasn't very positive. I want BioWare to make us think, make us question our own judgement, because that's what makes great storytelling. That's when you can be more than just a hero or a villain, but when you become a legend.

First names would be quite difficult for a VA to predetermine for a customized character. Its best to use surnames or ranks.

 

 

 

Edit: Got one, and I am sure it might of been said before.

 

Please keep male and female equal in same light of showing, market both in otherwords.

 

I am not as disappointed now, was quicker recovery than I expected when I saw pictures and more news. :)

BioWare has been very particular with their marketing in regards to gender equality. You can see this especially with Dragon Age Inquisiton, where the box art of the game has the Inquisitor who was drawn to be gender neutral. We've also seen trailers of both the male and female Inquisitor speaking. This will inevitably transition into Mass Effect as well as BioWare is aware and wants to accommodate as many demographics as they possibly can.

Yes, I know they did well with Inquisition, I am hoping they continue with the trend. :) I doubt they would stop after DA:I.

 

Considering the plans for October, it would be hard to see them forget. :)

How is an open world, atmospheric flight with seamless and dynamic game play, and crafting bad?

 

For one, with the mako returning, it's almost assured there will be an open world. Secondly, how many times have we seen the Normandy take off, land, dock, and cruise throughout the Mass Effect trilogy? I'm sure many would rather actually fly themselves, rather than watch the same cut scene over and over. Crafting has always been a major element in other BioWare games and would make sense in Mass Effect. I don't see how these potential features are "bad ideas" at all. Why do you actually play Mass Effect?

Craft.
Craft doesn’t make any sense in Mass Effect (at least in the original trilogy) Shepard was a spectre with state of the art gear and cutting edge prototypes thus (s)he didn’t need to collect trash all around the galaxy to create ammo, armor or whatever. If we are going to play the same kind of character with virtually unlimited amount of ressources, craft seems very unlogical to me. I don’t want something like Skyrim and a lot of MMOs where, as the savior of the world, the player still has to gather ore, leather etc...
Obviously, this may change according to the story, a character with limited access to shops (space pirate, merc, undercover agent) could recycle materials and craft his own stuff.

 

Openworld
One simple question : How do you put together open world and space travel ?
Basically you can’t; exept if you model entire planets but I don’t think BW will go that way.

 

Landing / docking / take off
Imo it is a wrong good idea. At first this will be enjoyable but in the end it will take too much time and we’ll miss the quick cutscene/loading screen. Just like the elevators in ME1.

~ Please make a RPG like ME Trilogy.~

 

- I would like a new trilogy, because on contrary with DA, in ME I really felt like my Shep has a privileged relation with his crew/friends. And at the end, I really felt like they were all my friends too.

Second reason is, the trilogy has a real evolution by episodes, that makes the story more realist I think. It's like seeing our Shepard grow up. :P

 

- I would like this new game being post Shepard era, because I could never forget him. And play someone else while he's fighting Reapers, sounds a bit strange to me.

Plus, I think Mass Effect is about the Galaxy. And this galaxy needs to evolve. I don't really mind if you chose a canon end, because I invented my own end after Catalist scene. ^^ Or if you don't want to chose a canon end, well Red: they can repear relays and stuffs. Blue, Reapers just gone away in a black hole. Green, everyone is organic and synthetic then ok. Everythings is possible in this universe. Please don't restrain your imagination ! :)

 

- If the game takes place in Shepard era, I would like to investigate on dark energy. Because I was wondering since ME2 what it is exactly. And it interests me. But not as a whole game plot. Just like a priority mission.

 

- I would like there's less humans, not only in the crew, but in the space too. I always though it's strange that in just 30years, there is sooooo many humans in the galaxy. There should be more asaris, turians and salarians instead. Everywhere. And the crew has too many humans LI.... I'm more interest by aliens than humans, because well... I see humans everyday in my real life. :P But aliens are more interesting and they have a bigger place in the universe !

 

- I would like to discover new species and solar systems.

 

- If you add a new multi game, I wish you add more game modes like Capture, or Battle Royal (imagine allies force had to fight endoctrinated force), Tower deffence etc..... ME3 multi was great, but it was too repetitive. I understand why you didn't add PVP mode. But you can add more game modes even in PVE.

 

- I would like to use mako as hamerhead (upgraded, pls :P). It could depends on world we visit.^^

 

- Could you please add ME1 exploration with more activities on worlds (like meet more people like mercs, monsters, tourists, ruins, old artefacts etc...) and ME3 ressources research. Both were fun ! ^^

 

- Please keep the humor in this game too ! Shepard and his friends had a lot of culte dialogues ! ^^ And it makes them more... real! (And Citadel DLC was ..... like a birthday gift for me ! xD)

 

- I think the way you put different missions types in ME3 was totally perfect. Like action mission, investigate mission, scary mission etc..... I was never bored cause it was always different ! I don't say ME 1 and 2 were repetitive. But ME3 was perfect for that !

 

- I wish we could walk in the Citadel like in ME1 ! :( I was really disappointed that Citadel was soooo little in ME 2 and 3... I know it's not your fault, but if you have time to make a bigger Citadel, I'd really enjoy this ! ^^

 

- In ME3, I liked the way Shepard's friends were moving on the Normandy, to discuss each other. It was more realistic than when they stayed in their corner like statues. ^^

 

- I wanna moar pets in my captain cabin !!! \o/ Lol ok I'm joking... but just a bit. :P But I really enjoyed the way Shepard's cabin was personalized with all those stuffs, toys and .... fishes ! :D

 

- I wish my Revenant will still be there in this new game... *o* This weapon is a real love to me ! It's like my own Jessie ! :P

 

 

PS : ME3 has the best musics ever ! Keep its music composers please ! Really ! ^^

 

PS 2 : Even if you ask fan ideas, I think you're the best ME fans here. Then I wish you will follow your own ideas before ours. ME trilogy was the BEST game I ever played in my life. And I played a lot trust me! :D I started it when ME1 was released, and I'm still playing it (I just finished ME3 again, and I start a new ME1 game again ! :P).

 

 

~ I'm really sorry about my bad english, but I'm an Orlesian... :'(~

I want all railroads, ALL of them, both utilities, and maybe a couple of hotels. You exit near my mass relay, and not even Barla Von can save you from financial ruin.

I had an idea about the Mass Effect Next crew exploring the galaxy in a capital class ship instead of a frigate class.

How about we have our own ASTEROID as a home base as well? Please..

If Mass Effect Next is coming out years from now maybe you have the time. Again...please.. :)

Maybe an option for the "sprint" button where we can make it separate from the "cover" button.  That way I don't stick to ledges and walls when I'm in a panic running from a banshee. 

 

Also a scope with a variable zoom option for the sniper rifle. (Unless there is one already and I just haven't seen it).

I would like to see some zero G segments; maybe something similar to Dead Space?

I would also like to see a playable form of ship combat; maybe a mechanic similar to Skies of Arcadia?

I want the Mass Effect 4 campaign to be a mix of the Omega and Laviathan dlc's 

 

Omega had intense, super tight and well done combat plus a real living and breathing NPC character in Aria T'loak. It was my favorite of all of the Mass Effect 3 dlc's and probably my favorite mission of the game

 

On the other hand Laviathan had the player using their brain to put pieces of a puzzle together to figure things out. That was a nice change of pace but my favorite part of the whole thing is at the end where Shepard goes down into the depths in that suit. It's hard to explain but that whole scenario just seemed so BIG and mysterious. I want to experience something like that again but on an even bigger scale.

I hope the new ship will be better than Normandy. Bigger, more things to do on ship and other cool stuff. Also more activity by NPC and team.

Good lord YES! A thousand times YES! Ever since I joined BSN I have been asking and asking BioWare for Skies of Arcadia ship mechanics. That was back in 2009! Lol. Skies of Arcadia is my personal favorite game of all time!

I know. I was just joking. A snazzy place where you can display your loot, or medals if you're military, would be very nice indeed.

I want to be a Vorcha IT with a speech impediment:

"THANK YOU FOR CALLING TECHNICAL SHUPPORT, THISH ISH AAAAAWAAAAAAAAAAAAH, HOW MAY I ASHISHT YOU!?

"Hi, I'm getting a "runtime error" message. There is also a countdown timer which right now is down to one minute."

"YOU TRY UNPLUGGING AND PLUGGING BACK IN!?"

"Yes."

"HMMMMMM, YOUR SHISHTEM ISH ABOUT TO SHELF-DESHTRUCT IN APPROXIMATELY 30 SHECONDS! THANK YOU FOR USHING VORCHATEC! HAVE A NISHE DAY!" 

"But..."***

 

 

 

***Also a joke... maybe
