Some of the main things I want.

1. Play as more then one race.
2. More locations to return too, other then the Citadel every time. (illium, Omege maybe even Earth or other Homeworlds?)
3. New designed Weapons, because I dont know about you, but some of the weapons that have been through all the games are starting to look dull, time for something new i think!
4. Character Returns! I want to be able to meet up with Tali, Garrus, Liara and the others again! 
5. Bigger squads. Taking two Teammates into battle is fun and all, but sometimes the dialoug between the main character and even the two NPC's is a little... Bad (Not in all places, and a small few.) So maybe 3 squad members to take with you will be intresting and a good variation.
6. More Animation. I have gotton a little annoyed at times just seeing the same head turning, hand waving and leaning animation so many times over the games.

Not everything I can come up with right now, but In my opinion, I would love to see the game based off of the Control or Sythesis Endings. Also, a character at the end says "Tell me another story about the Shepard." Meaning that maybe... Just maybe, Shepards Tale didnt end after the events of ME3. I can think of ways that he/she could return, with all that new technology. But it may involve a little Q.Qing. We will never be able to get a story which everyone is happy with, but we do have a character which everyone loves, because we shaped him/her in the way we wished. I will most likley make another post soon about my ideas storyline wise, but the list above is what I think that should be focused on. :)

Also, do NOT redesign anything that has already been stated as something. Still grieving from Javik as being a bug and not the Cthulhu things from Ilos.

This without the ability to play as protheans or the addition os spidoks. Never add a race that survived a cycle,  as that is a MASSIVE retcon. Also, protheans wouldnt make sense. There is only one left.

12 different races, 5 careers available for each, 3 psychological profiles, 3 backgrounds and 6 classes....there's obviously no way they could do that and make the choices matter in the game. 
I'd rather have fewer of everything but an actual impact of them on the game.

Develop a completely new mission system that is based on context. TAKE YOUR TIME.  Less dialogue choices or interrupts and more real time action choices. Something that's common sense and less sitting at a wheel deciding between 3 choices. It has to be instinctual. Didn't place squad members to guard you while you hack? GET SHOT. Rare gear pieces in a hazard zone? Impose on EXTRA care. EMPHASIZE it. Found a strong weapon but used it up on typical mooks? Have a hard time with a boss. 

Real consequences. I want a journey. Not a race. 

The game consistently changed (or was from the beginning) into the following - hear part of plot - travel to a new destination, kill a bunch of baddies, discover more plot.

ME3 felt like "do this and do that and get through the content ASAP so that you could discover how it all ends".

Emphasize exploration and detective work. Allow players to discover new perspective in missions which can change the players opinion and choice. Need to kill a baddie? Sure, send us to his lair. But if we find that the baddie is doing "greater" good stuff - we will have conflicting opinions. Some will kill him cos what he does is pure evil. Some of us will sympathize. MORE OF THIS STUFF.
 
FAR LESS linearity. I BEG YOU. The story in the trilogy is "acceptable" of market standards but it is drying out fast and is no value of money. You only disappoint your already decreasing fanbase. 
The choices are bland. There were a few dramatic moments where you decided the fate of very personal characters, but it all narrowed down to rails in the end. Rails. Very long, rails, right from ME1.

And the combat system. Less of "here, have half a clip of futuristic grain size bullets traveling at 10 mach and don't die". Emphasize on positioning and making advantage of the environment - not stacking multipliers in an attempt to break a threshold and kill stuff faster... More dynamic combat and less long, winding fights. Stealth, DX:HR style. Allow to avoid combat if player chooses so through redirecting paths and so on.

If you plan on milking the franchise - drop it. YOU will be disappointed.

I think it would work if it was set up like dragon age origins
Keep the game play the same just different prolouge missions that lead into the same main story like if you were an asari your prolouge will start on the planet thessia

And your choice from me3 will brought up in the story as a vi on the citidal

 How about an alternat  universe where the fans actually get three or four different endings not 1 ending with 3 different outcomes all the same!

My opinion:
- Shepard deserve to go back, until his story will be honorable ended. This ending is just horrible for his story (satisfy, but still horrible).
- Thread about IT is a proof about, what people want...

So go the hell with
.... ....
... aaah yes ...
New playable races... (all is irony and silly)
- Commander Krogan will truly awsome for example:
"The Child: Commander Krogan, can you help me to find my parrens?"
"Commander Krogan -> paragon option" I AM KROOOOGAN, no any child will ask me to help, it offends me!
"Commander Krogan -> renegade option" I AM MASTEEER KROGAN CHIEF and I ate your parrens to dinner!

- Commander Salarian will solve all your problems and make trilions more problems!

- Commander Vorcha is excelent speaker!

- Commander Turian... "Hmm, I'm turian and your are just a human... yes, maybe your race saved the galaxy but still U'RE HUMAN (and I'm rasist)!"

But maybe Asari and Humans can win this challenge, but everyone knows... that Hawke guy from DA2 is boring guy!

So, if you still want playable races, characters, play multiplayer or make your own MMO on unreal engine with your boring characters!

For singleplayer this can't work!

btw: sorry for my bad english ;)

like others it would be nice to play other races,

please hold on to the original thinking and style when designing or re-designing.

develop already known races and races' cultures.

incorporate things already seen in ME-triology with things that would be natural in the mass effect universe.

so whatever is made, make it in a mass effect way.

For story, I definitely think the timeline needs to move forward. The unfortunate part of this is you'll have to pick a cannon ME3 ending from which to build off of. The natural ending is the destroy option because of the lack of reapers. From here, you could start a story about a galaxy that's been splintered after the destruction of the mass relays, and all the work Shepard did to unify the galaxy has been undone. With no central government and no council, you can build a new protagonist who works toward rebuilding the peace that existed between the reapers arrival and their fall. You could bring in the Leviathan race as an antagonist, but that might be too reminiscent of the reapers we as the players just defeated.

As for the style of storytelling, I want a return to the openness of ME1. In the second two games, the typical mission has you kill the baddies, and make a decision at the END of the mission which may or may not *cough* effect how future events unfolded. But in the first game, there were often alternatives to getting to the end of a mission. Noveria is a prime example: there were four or five ways to get the pass card to get to Peak-15; once you were there, there was three or four ways to find Benezia; and to top it all off, you get to choose whether to kill the Rachni queen. The point I'm getting at is the latter two games diverged at the end of the journey, but the first game diverged on the journey itself, well before it's conclusion. This is what made ME1 so replayable for me, the experience felt fundamentally different each time. In the second two games, I was almost always left killing the same people in the same hallways.

Similarly, return to variable mission orders. I know the second two games had technical limits being on two discs, but I've got to say I really enjoy being able to do the different major missions in a different order. The two-disc limit shouldn't be a problem since I'm assuming the next game launches next-gen.

Summarily, what I want is the tight gameplay and graphics found in ME2 & 3, but the openness, the mystery, and the "tangible biggness" (to steal Yahtzee's description) that the first Mass Effect had in spades.

I'd like to see a revamped loyalty system.

Every decision the protagonist makes has an effect on the loyalty of individual squadmembers.
For instance, saving the rachni queen in me1 would have given Wrex -100 loyalty, Ashley -50, Liara +25...

At a certain pointcount disloyal members will start to become rude, stop talking alltogether, or even leave.
Romances can only happen with members with for instance +250 loyalty points.

This would make the relationhips a bit more interesting and add replay value I think.

I'd like to see more revealed on the System Alliance's Corsairs. All we know is what Jacob said about the organisation saying that there was enough red tape to sink a cruiser. On a personal note depending on the focus or perspective of the game. Having the protagonist as a human is more fitting, due to the fact that humans were new to the galactic stage and was facing alot of prejudice due to their almost aggressive behaviour and impatient nature, If it were to be a game based on a Corsair, I think they should operate in the background of the events that centered around Shepard or even be prequals to Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3. With the first game having the player operating with an independant Captain aboard a civillian vessel. Along the way the protagonist slowly builds up a team of different races however depending on who you bring abaord effects your alignment and reputation (eg if you bring aboard someone like Dr Saleon you'll get a negative reputation and renegade alignment. If it is someone similar to Dr Michell(sp?) you'll get a positive reputation and paragon alignment points). In addition the character can also have 'sponsors' of sorts, which provides the protagonist and followers with weapons, armour and upgrades. If the protagonist has a good standing with the sponsor, they'll be able to purchase a new vessel and can help the captain you're serving under to make a decision. By the second title you'll be forced to help defend the ship from attacking Mercenaries or Pirates and the captain is killed in action, depending on your standing you either become the next commading officer or forced to serve under someone else.

What I want to see in a new Mass Effect game

1. a protagonist whose gender and race players can customize

2. A origin story arc much like how DA:O had

3. A story set far into the future like 400 years or so, I want this so we can get some distance and
have less overlap from the first trilogy and so gamers feel they can have a fresh start with a new trilogy that has its own problems and is not just dealing with post reaper clean up.

4. Maybe base the premise around a galactic civil war? Just a thought...

5. Would really love to have more customizable space ship options, like colors, emblems and furniture sets to make the ship feel like my own.

6. Side Missions that are not just courier jobs, bring back N7 missions I loved those!

7. Shepard was always sort of a brick, he really had no substance as a character, A new character should have more conflict attached to them and character substance in them, I feel like this was starting to be explored in ME3 but was not fully realized.

What I don't t want:

1. Reapers-been there done that

2.Prequels-I just dislike prequels.

3. Courier based missions, like the side missions in ME3 i guess you could call them fetch quests
but whatever i still hate them...

4. War assets- i didn't feel as if it was anything more than a statistic i had to manage, in no way did it actually feel like I was building an army don't really know why this feature was included i felt it
was unnecessary.

5. Revisiting old characters- don't get me wrong I like garrus, but i don't want to meet him again as a new character, don't waste time rehashing old characters bring me new ones that i can get to know, just make sure they can live up to the awesomeness that is Garrus Vakarian..just sayin

6. Endings-make them less about interpretation and more about closure.

7. Multiplayer-Multiplayer is nice but it should never take center stage over single player, i doubt it would happen but in any case I just have to say i don't want mass effect turning into a multiplayer centric game, its fun but the single player has always been the main draw for me thats why i buy mass effect.

No prequels, no MMO, no pure FPS/action/action-adventure game.

I really want another ME RPG trilogy, set AFTER ME3 and with a new hero we can customize like Shep and transfer throughout 3 games.

I'd actually be interested in a game set a decade or so prior to the ME series. Sure, it might be a underwhelming going from galaxy killing aliens to mercs and so forth. But I think the next one should be more about character and the ways of the galaxy then some galaxy spanning adventure of epic.

But that's just me.

BioWare shouldn't assume we know all the stuff that happened in the comics whenever we play a ME game. It was really weird when Vega sees Shep in the beginning of ME3 and they know eachother quite well, yet the player doesn't know any details of it. A piece of story, that could have been told with intro footage, is missing. That creates confusion.
