I'd love for Shepard's story to continue somehow, but don't see a way how this would be possible. Since she/he only survives in human form in one of the possible endings.
Yet that is what I really would want. Mass Effect is so coupled with your connection to your own Shepard, it's hard to imagine any commitment as deep with another protagonist.
A possibility would be to play as Shepard's child. Children should be possible with Liara for both genders, Ashley and Kelly for Broshep. Also possible would be genesplicing for Tali. For any offspring of Femshep, there ain't much except for Liara.
All in all a lot would depend on the choices you made in the earlier games, but since we already had the possibility of a dead Shep at the end of ME2 that isn't that new a concept.

if shepard did come back we wouldnt be playing him/her, the only way i could see it happening is if shepards the new bad guy we have to kill judging by how me3 ended, and if thats the case i'd rather not have shep back, mean as the only way shepard lived was in the destroy ending, i'm not really sure how bioware could really do anything with half of the me3 ending stuff to continue that story, we will more than likely get a new hero/protag with a new story, and possibly me3 import with some things carrying over

One where we can import our game saves so that it shapes how the universe turned out after the reaper war. Also be able to choose what species to play as from either human, asari, salarian, turian, krogan, geth or quarian depending on what species survived from ME3 and get to customise them as well would be awesome. Each species could have its own side story that plays out during the main story of the game. It would be cool to have some cameos from characters from the previous games depending on who survived as well.

some nicer armors for females would be great too, seriously i like my woman to look as good as the rest of her squad, not like a robot in chunky male looking armor

heres my opinion. forget fans opinions and do your own thing really
i say this because no matter what fans say they will never be happy
First, nothing personal, but that is a bit d***chy
Second, Many developers knows that fans have great ideas even if the (developer's) excuetion doesn't come out right sometimes. That is why they ask what the fans want (and because the ending debacle).
Third, Stay cool and don't threat on threads.
That's not douchey at all, it's the truth. Look, people want something but they don't know what, so they'll complain until they get something and then say it's not what they wanted.
I just don't want an MMO or a prequel. Make a new trilogy after the events of ME3 (years after, or even centuries, whatever).

Love to tell Casey what the next Mass Effect game is. But how ME3 went down. Don't post any suggestions because they are not listening.
If the EC is an example of BW 'listening to the fans', then why bother. They'll only intentionally, or unintentionally, misconstrue what we tell them.

If they bring back Shep, and with destroy you can, then they need to use femshep in the marketing MORE.

To Mr. Hudson and whomever else that may be concerned at Bioware/EA/Microsoft,
I have faithfully been a fan for half a decade, of the wonderful Mass Effect video game. I have chosen, I have sacrificed, I have built up a headcanon of which I am quite proud. Yet at the moment of truth, despite my faith in you all, I was let down by gaping plot holes, shoddy last minute wrap up, and insulting appeals to keep buying DLC whilst you continually dangle the possibility of a decent amendment to the game.
No more. You want to know my idea for the next ME? Fine, here it is:
Mass Effect 4 should be a full game centered entirely on the final battle for Earth in the Reaper War. Three games we fans have waited for an epic boss battle with the Reapers, anatagonists that easily outclass any others in the genre. The galaxy's conflict with them deserves at lest another 40 hours of just plain fighting for the survival of sapient life. And in that battle, Shepard needs to wake up from his obvious indoctrination in order to lead the galaxy all the way to an ending befitting of this epic series. If you won't make that game, and it's clear you won't, then your efforts should be concentrated on a new, satisfying ending expansion to Mass Effect 3. That expansion must take into account all decisions made in the previous games, so that each version of Shepard gets a unique experience, and each unique experience should be devoid of the narrative incoherence that nearly killed ME3.
Until Mass Effect 3 is fixed, I will no longer offer any support to your operations. I will not play ME3 multiplayer, I will not purchase any new DLC, I wont even give any other BW/EA/MS games a chance. Consider yourselves boycotted by one more gamer, because you have ignored us fans when we speak with our hearts, so now I will speak with my wallet. I know that I am not alone, and we know that however long it takes for you to listen to the gamers that write your paychecks, we will HOLD THE LINE.
For Shepard. For the galaxy. For gaming.

I don't want shepard in a new mass effect game. I want me3 to finish with an post end dlc to save shepard.
Then a new mass effect game new protagonist new story. No save import because I don't see how it would work without limiting the new game.
1. Full control of the protagonist
2. No squad death but the option to fire them if you don't want them on your team
3. A move back away from "a cinematic experience"
4. Cut scenes that equal gameplay
5. A well thought out plot that leans towards subtletly rather than the overdramatic.

I'd like a whole new trilogy, definitely after ME3. I think that rebuilding the galaxy would be a huge task, just like rebuilding europe and asia was after WWII, well it would obviously be bigger than that. Major conflicts would certainly arise with the Reapers taken out of the picture. Maybe another species from another galaxy could kick things off, so many things they can do.
As far as the canon goes I'd prefer the red ending, can't elaborate here since we can't post spoilers. I'd also like to control shep again and the regular squadmates, they're still young and have a lot of life ahead of them, ME1 started when shep was only 29 I believe.
They could start much later, a hundred years or so but I think that soon after ME3 would be best since conflict would be rife in the galaxy. Pre-quels wouldn't make much sense to me since we already know what happens, we have no idea what happens after ME3. Of course, if they have fantastic ideas that are a bit later after me3 or what not I'd be happy to hear them, I'm not opposed to it, but shep and the regulars kick a**.

That would be cool, but I think impossible considering how different things could be depending on what you chose. That would be 3 completely different games.

Whatever they do with the story, I just hope they put MORE of the RPG elements back into the Mass Effect series. Example, the armor system in ME2 and ME3 was okay for the most part but they really needed to make those armor sets and pieces up-gradable like they did with the weapons. Not being able to upgrade the armors was a tad lacking.

1. more RPG elements
2. gameplay style of Mass Effect 2
3. story: Takes place after mass effect 3 and maybe couple of years after and concerns with the offspring of shepard. He/she has to deal with being in the shadow of the father/mother because everyone expects the offspringe to live up to the parent. Also create senario with new tensions bewtewen races since all is destroyed and hunger/ and fight for recourses makes a living side by side difficult.
this senario also allows to play for the first time as not only human. if shepard had asari partner the offspring is asari, if human couple then human. if turian or any other it might be possible to adopt a child because maybe some races cannot biologically create a child. which allows the player to chose what race he or she wants to play as. this creates opportunities to go into more detail about races and the coexistance.
the only major problem with continuing the story is that you had to make 3 games or on game and be able to encompass the different endings. this is the most difficult part each ending is different which means either 3 games or one game that give the one ending and then later on add via DLC or another full game the different endings. doable but very difficult.
4. add some characters of the orginal games back into the mix.
5. prequal which deals with racni war. (possibilites to play as different race then human)
6. NO TIME TRAVEL/ ALTERNATIVE REALITY CRAP...THIS IS NOT STAR TREK
7. If you do make a sequal to me 3 then shepard should live (which goes beyond that hint at the breathing scene) which means an post ending DLC should be mendatory
but i will say this...although ME 3 had its flaws (most of which dealing with some characters like zaeed, samara, jacob and katsumi got way to little screen time.....SAMARA LI PLEASE !!!) im still 100% behind mass effect and it gives me great joy over and over again. no matter what game you will create for mass effect Im interested and will most likely buy it. But please, keep up the level of character development and character based story telling

Story wise: I want to see a "Mass Effect" game that ventures into rebuilding the anew universe in the near distant future after the effects of "Mass Effects 3". Let us venture into each races home world/government (in some way) and let us see how they have rebuilt, survived, and coincided throughout the years. Let all of our choices (well most) from the previous ''Mass Effect" games help shape this newly formed universe and each individual planet in some form or another.
As for gameplay: The more costumization, exploration, and choice... the better.
Best of luck to each and everyone at Bioware and thank you guys for working as one with your fans to create a whole new set of adventures within the "Mass Effect" unverse.

In my opinion, i think we should focus on going forward rather than looking back to the past events. some of the guys
here want Bioware to make the prequel of the ME's trilogy. the prothean era and all that. but for me, i would like to see
the continuing journey of Commander Shepard (if you choose to destroy the reaper with enough assets). After all,
Bioware built this character for a long time. in the process, Shepard evolved and grew as a symbol of Mass Effect
series. and i think we shouldn't rule all the characters out. instead, why don't we expand the universe. like exploring
more and more mysteries in the milky way. there are plenty more of relays, planets, and galaxies. so i'd say let's
make a countinuing journey of Commander Shepard with an even bigger challenge ahead. not about saving the
galaxy but to explore and meet the creator of the universe.

Casey wanting our input now can only mean one thing. There's obviously no new Deus Ex game expected out between now and the release of ME4.....

The best possible thing they could do in my opinion with Mass Effect is...
It has to take place something like 5years after Shepard chose Destroy ( *SPOILER START* When you chose Destroy, Shepard is alive, there is no reaper to help rebuilding and the starchild told you if you chose destroy there is going to be war...and with Control or Synthesis the galaxy is at peace and the reaper help the survivor, with Refuse well... everyone is dead *SPOILER END*)
Like in dragon age 2 you import your save (if your shepard chose destroy) and you create a new character (it could be an asari, quarian, turian, salarian or human) when it start you learn that Shepard leave the army after winning the war and live happily ever after with his/her love interest. Then you become the new commander of the Normandie SR2 maybe with joker, he could talk about Shepard and the choice he made. you have a new team and you need to help rebuilding, exploring and fighting. I dont know what you could fight but im sure they could do something with the dead Reaper flotting around, like maybe someone use part of the reaper to build new synthetic that are pretty dangerous. or maybe the Leviathan could be the new ennemie, now that the galaxy is weak they want to take control of it again.
You could even see and talk to your shepard from ME3 you could need his/her help to defeat this new treat. I think its a good way to make the transition from playing has shepard to this new character, its a new story with a new protagonist and you still have some of the classic character without making things impossible for Bioware, everyone is happy, maybe exept for those who chose Control or Synthesis but it only means Shepard save the galaxy and there is nothing more to tell (or they could make 2 seperate game later that tell a new story with the Sythesis ending or Control ending)

If it will be a prequel, then I can guarantee you that Shepard will survive the endign(s). But as far as we knwo right now it will be a completely new story (I think it will be a lot smaller in scale than the reaper war saga was) and new protagonist.

I don't know... I think that it's the end for Shepard: either he is alive and retired as a celebrated hero and syombol of victory (who would not bother to get back fighting after the defeat of the reapers... he'll most probably be promoted and will have become an admiral by the time of a possible sequel)... or dead and being a legend, or being the reaper overmind watching over and managing the galaxy.
As for a bigger challenge: what could be a bigger challenge than the mind controlling, overdeveloped armada of huge super intelligent warships and legions of cyborgs controlled by a ruthless, restless AI super-intelligence which was created by greed and with the desire to controll everything and solve a problem which can not be solved by cold calculation (we see the result: the cycles of harvest). I don't see a bigger challange coming, only if the Apocalypse is that event... but that's unstoppable, that' why it is called what it's called.
I think we'll get to see a new protagonist with a new adventure and with a new stly of playing and story telling (I don't think that they would want to use the same patterns again: a commander helming a cruiser with a small task force at his\\her disposal). That would be lame.
But I agree: going back to the past would be foolish. Those are stories which are set into stone. We all know how they happened (at least we know the silhouettes of those stories) and how they ended.
And I very much hope that it won't take place during the reaper invasion because I don't want another ME in that setting. It would be pretty uninspired.
