I think a DAO type game set post reapers would be awesome. Being able to pick your race would add tons of replay to it.  Also I would love the idea of having all the powers available and picking the ones I want. If you grouped powers together (eg. tactical cloak, charge, adren. rush) and could only take one from each group it would be less likely to break the game.  Also PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT AN MMO keep it as a story driven single player game.

My answer, For the love of god if you must put out another POS, at least have a different management team, hudson and co should be kept out of it.

Follow the Halo series route. DO A PREQUEL!

There is much to explore in the Mass Effect universe. Shepard's story was great, but it has been told, and because of the scope of that story, anything post-Shepard would be very challenging to write. It would likely be best to leave Shepard as is/will be (post-DLC).
Many of the historic events in the galaxy (First Contact War, Rachni Wars, Krogan Rebellions etc.) would provide a great setting for creating conflict, the driving force of any story, without requiring the game to be a 'prequel' per se. Another option, and probably the more interesting one, is a story that parallels Shepard's leading up to and during the events of ME1-3. This could allow for some horizontal continuity if save games were imported (for instance hearing a report of Sovereign's attack and the fate of the council), something that would validate a player's prior experiences in the ME universe.
As far as game ideas, there are many options, but I think playing a non-human Spectre in a shadowy 'intrigue and espionage' setting would allow for deeper exploration of the universe, and would allow for TONS of interesting plot lines. It could be lots of fun to both write and to play. For example, for a spectre who answers to the council, even just the repercussions of Shepard's decision regarding the Destiny Ascension would be fascinating to explore.
That's my two cents. There is much to explore in the ME universe beyond Shepard.

 

This needs to happen.

 
Agreed, this is good stuff.  I'd add that BW should try to get away from the "Reapers or Arch Demon or other external threat that all must unite against or die" storyline.  BW has the writing skill to explore less black & white issues and force the player to make more shades of grey decisions.  Inter-species conflict / espionage seems like a way to do that.  

Though I have yet to play it, Dishonored seems like an interesting example to look at, as it allows the player to accomplish missions in many ways, from killing everyone including civilians to complete non-lethality, and those decisions go on to have direct impact on the game's conclusion.  That model could be adapted for spectre play. 

And to add my own lesson learned quibble from ME1-3, I'd say if there's going to be another multi-game storyline, map the storyline arc out at the start and stick to the plan so there are no jarring changes of tone or theme or direction from start to finish.

Don't lie and mislead us that would be a good start.

[Blue Liara]

On a more practical note. Don't make a game that is meant to be single player role playing game a multiplayer game to. Because no matter all the lies that Bioware put out. The multi-player took away from the single player experience.

[Blue Liara]

One more thing.... NO CASEY HUDSON PLEASE

[Gryphon7]

Anything where I can actually play as a different race.

Humans are boring.

This. So much it almost physically hurts.

If not for all the myriad implications of the two previous installments, ME3 might have been a decent, if forgettable (due to the lack of buildup and brilliant introduction from ME1) standalone game. It was almost a brilliant final chapter, save for the final scenes which discarded all the implications and foreshadowing previous to them, not to mention the vital themes of the series and its focus on Shepard (which was abandoned for some kind of lofty pretentious 'higher statement' which was derivative of other science fiction more than being profound as intended).

It's not that we're not capable of getting that. It's that it wasn't the story we were being told from the beginning. That was the problem. Consistency is important in a fiction series, and that includes games when their story is told with such a level of detail.

Take place after mass effect 1-3 but new characters, even more personal story. And a different viewpoint then any military. N7 was great for the trilogy but I would love to see life and creative action though nonpolitical eyes.

[Persona RED]

Personally, I don't know what I will do if they just continue along the premise of fighting big huge things that want to dominate the galaxy. The Leviathan DLC worried me the most with this, as there you have the largest (literally) candidate to fill that Reaper void.

I think that an area of interest that could be explored is the vast power vacuum that would exist after the war. All the races poured all their assets into building that floating onion wand, The Crucible. With the such resources spent, criminal elements, interest groups, and many others could move in for the kill. Alongside that, the utilization of highly advanced Reaper tech would be a temptation for all. It has already been proven that the races hoard whatever Prothean tech they can to get an edge. What do you think they are going to do with giant Reaper hulls strewn about?

Another thing: Dark Space. The Reapers had been filling that border between separate galaxies for a very, very long time. Isn't it a little curious what could have resided beyond? Perhaps the Reapers were created in this galaxy, and being aware that they simply could not regulate ALL forms of life, the isolated this one, maintaining it as they saw fit. They could have known all along about bordering alien life, keeping it out and our side in. Imagine the possibilities of exploring that universe.

Simply! NO HYPE! NO LIES! Starting from here!

[Irishlegion]

How about exploring the gap between ME1 and ME2 in terms of the squadmates of those games? I mean Garrus alone seemed to have a fairly interesting story during that period, what with him building a team, taking on Merc gangs, and culminating in the betrayal of Sidonis. It would definitely make killing that sob in ME2 more satisfying.

[DextroDNA]

I for one want to know even more about the Protheans, specifically nearer the beginning of their war with the Reapers. How their empire fell apart, how the Citadel fell, how such a great race dealt with this and retaliated.

[Wiggly]

I would love an option to explore and live in the ME universe, being the hero is fun and all but some variation would be nice. I don't want to use the word "mmorpg" because it's too loaded with preconceptions but a huge online game where we shift between single player and multiplayer in a persistent universe would be epic. The average citizen can rise to heroic status in a joint multiplayer effort to defeat dangerous galactic foes, but the hero also have a ordinary life where he does space things, social things, crafting stuff and all that.

I would love such a game.

[h0neanias]

Yeah. You know you're in trouble when you have to ask players to get you out of the hole you dug for yourself.

An FPS featuring Garrus leading his team on Omega.

Republic Commando-styled gameplay and squad control. Free roaming in between missions to bars and other places. Chase down leads, beat up people and generally act like the goddamn turian batman he was made out to be.

From Car/Bike chases to smashing through windows of a major gang's headquarters, there is really no cooler game you can develop in the Mass Effect universe.

I really liked the mood and tension in ME3, end of the world stuff and then having that (MILD SPOILER) little sequence with LIara in London was brilliant in my opinion. However, I think the fanbase is looking for a lighter mood.

Some thoughts based on what I have read in this thread and the "smaller story" thread. Has anyone thought about Startrek: Voyageur as a model for a new storyline? Never been a big fan of the series or of Sci-Fi in general, but I thought the premise behind Voyageur was great. Relative ot the ME triology, a change of pace, smaller story but with lots of possibilities for stuff. I think the story has to begin with the end of ME3, because knowing the outcome of the series could really dampen the mood of the new game. Possible to link new story to the end of ME3 via what happened to the Mass Relays. Different galaxy or a part of the galaxy suddenly made inaccessible.

Refugee ship(s),new characters, (Shepard's retired or dead or otherwise occupied), multiple races. Maybe add some RPG/Action adventure gameplay in getting team together to confront new challenges. That is, have actual gameplay options that reflect the Paragon - Renegrade speach choices -- kill your way out or through or deal with potential antagonists with speach problem-solving stuff -- add to the gameplay possibilities w/o taking away from the core squad-cover-shooter gameplay.

Make it so?

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

i would agree with this but im kind of a hypacrit for doing so but, so long as its a full single player game and not an MMO and no type wasted on some sort of **** co-op mode like mass effect 3 then im fine with them doing there own thing. i may not like what they are doing but provided they dont go all MMORPG or FPS on us i dont care.

My wishes & suggestions:

- NO dumbed down First Person Shooter
- keep the balance between 3rd person action & RPG elements
- keep dialogue wheel
- less auto dialogue than in ME3
- new human main protagonist/player character (not Shepard)
- keep character customization (gender, overall apperance, skill-tree, etc.)
- keep ME2/ME3 combat system
- keep Paragon/Renegade system
- would prefer to see a game set after the events of ME3 [don't care if one of the ME3 endings would be declared canon to have a ME4]
- all new exciting storyline
- all new alien races and old alien races
- new enemies
- all new interesting NPCs & squadmates
- cameo appearances of ME1 - ME3 characters (if they survived previous games)
- all new planets & worlds to visit
- keep Galaxy exploration
- planetary exploration reintroduced (MAKO/Hammerhead or all new vehicle)
- more hub worlds/open world levels
- more Love Interest interaction/dialogue
- squadmates should agree/disagree with player's actions much more (like in DA2) and earn friendship/rivalry points (with the possibilty that they might leave your party with too much rivalry or special bonuses with enough friendship points)
- all new player's starship
- more starship customization options

Please make it take place AFTER ME3. NO prequels. I know that I previously wanted a prequel set during the First Contact War, but that was before I saw the ending to ME3. I'll accept your ending. I have no choice but to accept it. But at least give us more to go on. I mean, I want to see how they rebuilt. I want to see how the races got along. Did they keep their word? Is the galaxy truly united or is it a big ball of racial tension? What threatens a galaxy that's managed to overcome the ultimate enemy?

You guys left us with this big cliffhanger. You can't leave us hanging like Caprica did!

Oh, and of course, I'd like the customization options to stay in tact, and maybe even let us pick a custom race.

And can we get an MMO with a gameplay style similar to Global Agenda? *is shot*
