The original ME trilogy was told from the perspective of a soldier that was effectively a "chosen one".

I'd like the next ME game to not be from a military perspective and instead focus on the story of a free agent--more like a Han Solo or a Captain Mal Reynolds than a military hero like Shepard.  So more of a Firefly feel.  

As a result there would be an emphasis on exploration, upgrading and maintaining your ship, having a crew of sarcastic characters that for some reason are stuck with you and the ability to land on big, open planets that have lots of quests and interesting cultures to get to know.

I don't really mind about when it will happen, like if it's before or after Shepard's story, but I would like to play a really complex rpg game, something like getting ME1 and going further with the rpg, visiting cities in other planets, meeting a lot of other species (both genres you know, not like we always see since ME1 that only the males go around with few exceptions), getting the options to do or not any kind of quest (and these quests could afect others and even something in other planets) and if it is not based on one character's story, make it something that we can fully customize (fat, skinny, tall, short, long or short hair that kinda stuff), choose an effective background that can really affect your gameplay (something like you choose to kill someone and that can really haunt you in the future, get you problems to reach such place, make lots of people angry with you forever or if that person you killed was hated in another place you could be a hero, or you have or not a brother that if existed could be your enemy some time in the game), perhaps choose between a x number of avaiable races and if you complete a game once and had find some other races when you play the game again they could be avaiable to play as and perhaps have a unique background as well
I could think of many things, but then I probably would write too much and I believe I'm gonna like whatever they do with the game (just I would like it more if they do what I sugested above xD)
I trust them to make a great game.

Please no prequel. The books and comics give enough for the imagination. But really what can be worse than the Reaper threat if its set in the future. And no MMO...then I will have lost faith as with Kotor..Swtor..whatever.And no LI/Shepard love child grown up rubbish...Maybe a peek at the LI or child but not as the main character.

Oh what about that Dark Energy stuff ?


 If the lovechild coment was about my post then i didnt mean it like that. 'Vigil' cant be shepards love child, to old and there should be a good story written up by bioware as to why Jack brought him/her up in secret and accepted a job at grisom academy to take them there but also a reason why aria of all people would help jack protect him/her and actualy leave omega station to watch over and fight with him or her.


 Also javik is not the sort of person to train just anyone, there should be a good written story why javik would train vigil and why vigil is the 1st asari to be found gender specific and have 3 dnas that make them up instead of 2.


I meant as in if the game was set that the main character was Shepard's offspring. I would not want the whole emotional termoil of Shepards (apparent) death and to me it would feel corny. Its time to move on from Shepard if they make another game. Which by the looks of it I think they are. And I meant no disrespect to your comment Posted Image

 I think shepard should survive and be older and not an npc you see in 4 or interact with in anyway, i believe that we should go forward and that it should be based on an anti hero as our next hero thus my idea. The hero in my eyes should be something unique in the universe not seen before thus the way i made the asari gender specific to make it so the hero in question isnt limited to a single game but to its own trilogy.

 Shepard must have done something whilst he was on earth, no way they would have him just sitting in an apartment twiddling his thumbs thus my other idea of him working on a secret project for the alliance that goes against council laws thus such secrecy.

 Javik should be involved in some way thus why i put him in my concept and i think everyone would kill to have aria as a companion and romance interest, thanes son should be part of it if its not to far into the future and also keeping liara in the game but not on the crew as the shadowbroker ties well into something dark going on because she would have the information to hand or atleast ideas that something was going on.

 There should be a way to bring back the reapers in some form be it just harbringer or something the illusive man did and cerberus isnt dead as was pointed out there were 3 teams as stated by edi and only 2 are gone leaving a 3rd sect and the illusive man is meglomaniac enough to create a vi on his own mind.


 I only look at it like this as the mass effect universe should move forwards not backwards, there is tons of lore and everything from the past is written in either the books or the games. Anything from 4 onwards needs to go forwards so that we are kept in suprise to outcomes and whats going on and not know what desicions or the enemys are.

  I dont think it can go to far forward or it may suffer the fate of becoming to detatched from what mass effect is so it should stay fresh whilst keeping a feeling that your continuing onwards with some known faces and some companions that deserve to have a place in the game you play like jack, kusami etc.


 I think we should get the citidel back like we had in 1 with a mix of 2. i state that in the lifts were not so bad but the fact you could walk about in so many places on the citidel made it so much more apealing togo there. if they can construct the citidel to open up all areas that were in the previous 3 games would be amasing.

 I also think we should move forwards only a small way with a new hero and some known crew so that our saves can be imported and have relevence, even if they dont tie directly to the hero they should tie to the world around him and possible some of the old crew being npcs or dead in the universe you go into with an import.

 A good example is if your a merc of sorts working for the shadow broker you could end up with garrus trying to kill you and nearly succeding but lets say jack jumps out and shouts at him to stop, when garrus realises that your with jack he holds back and asks whats going on, you could get a renegade option to shoot him whilst distracted and have jack shout at you or let jack talk him down and be at peace with garrus who will in turn give you info on what your looking for and get in touch later to tell you he found something that can help when you explain your trying to track down cerberus and the normandy.


 Another is if legion survived and peace was brokered between the geth and quarians your ship is different and a little bigger and stronger by having geth tech built into it just like in 3 the normandy is strong enough to withstand the blastwave if you carried over your normandy upgrades from 2-3 thus 3-4 would carry similar upgrades.

I'd like you to be able to edit your file names. Like for example, I have a character named Courtney and replays keep the name the same if I do multiple replays from downloading the name onto a new playthrough. How about I am able to change the file name/character name in future games so I can differentiate between playthroughs?

 Ideas:

·        Shepard’s Red ending can be imported to ME4. Honestly,
I don’t see how other endings could work. Besides, in the case of Shepard’s
death during the ME2 suicide mission there also was no option for ME3 import, so
players who wanted to import ME2 character had to replay last mission the “right
way”.

·        War with The Krogan is necessary to stop the takeover
of the council space planets by the Krogan. Krogan expansion to the worlds outside
Tuchanka is inevitable considering fast growth of the Krogan population. Players
can face Shepard’s former allies (Grant, Wrex/Wreav) on the battlefield with many
dramatic choices to make.

·        I think after Shepard being “too big”, a
legendary soldier, it would be an interesting development for his/her character to
become an average person, with human weaknesses. ...maybe the person who drinks
too much to supress headache caused by Cerberus implants?  This could be the reason for him being
relieved of duties. I believe military pension in the 22 century isn’t any
better, so Shepard has to make a living somehow... I was really thrilled by
Jack’s idea “to go pirate”. That would be an exciting adventure: Shepard as a
bounty hunter! More planet exploration, more “dark, dangerous places”! I’m pretty
sure that dealing with criminals, headhunters and other galactic scum on remote colonies is even more fun than chasing
a reaper!

Secondary characters that worth to be brought back with
more character development (possibly as a RI):

·        Thane’s son Kolyat
·        Major Coats
·        Secretary/Agent Gianna Parasini
·        Asari Commandos Shiala
·        Aria T'Loak
·        Blue Suns mercenary Jentha (assuming she managed
to recover attack on Archangel)

More cool things:

·        It would be nice to go see the changes on Rannoch,
with quarians unmasked.
·        Biotic force can be brought to the new level,
more powerful, more spectacular: shockwave, for example, can push one enemy
into another or leave a dent in the wall.
·        Enrich the game with a few mini games, for example
Fighting mini games (Ex: Vega vs. Shepard) and Driving/Flight simulator mini
games (Shadow Broker DLC car chase was good).
·        Please, more planet exploration! I think the
whole idea of planet exploration went wrong after the original mass effect.
Space exploration means a discovery of new worlds! It could be stress-free
pleasant journey between the planets, satellites and asteroid belts, with nice relaxing
music and breathtaking views.  …I think Ridley
Scott and his team really got it in the first part of “Prometheus”, where spacecraft
approaching the moon LV-223.

Well I'm one of those people who'll not ever purchase a future ME game, so my opinion may not matter, but my recommendations would be:

1 - For any new Mass Effect game none of Misters Hudson, Gamble or Walters should be involved.

(those names are on my "never buy games made by these people again" list)

2 - Don't lie in your pre-release hype.

3 - Find out what changed internally at Bioware between the making of ME 2/DA Origins and DA2, TOR and ME3.  Not that metacritic is a bastion for honesty, but the same people that voted the last 3 Bioware releases as 3, 4 and 5 could have voted ME 1, ME 2 or DA:O lower, and didn't.

Something changed in Bioware between the making of DA:O/ME2 and the later games - figure out what it was and correct it.

(althout I'm pretty sure most of us know what the change was)

Alright Bioware, listen the **** right up. Or... read.. the **** right up. Whatever.

I don't want a sequel. In terms of conflict, it's pretty hard to top "Galactic extinction at the hands of all-powerful machine overlords". It would also require you to canonize one of your fabulous endings, which wouldn't exactly get yourselves out of the fanbase-cafuffle you find yourselves in. 

Give me a game that takes place during a hazy time period in the Mass Effect timeline, like the two years where Shep is in a coma, or a story that runs parallel to Mass Effect 1, 2 or 3. I want something that focuses on the Spectres, set in a very gritty tone compared to Shepard's story, with a healthy and massive dose of political intrigue and deception.. Take away the Paragon/Renegade bars and make a story where there really AREN'T any good or bad choices, with each decision coming back later to bite you in the ass in some way. Gimme a better look at the shady business dealings of corporations in Mass Effect (which is to say, all of them), a closer look at the shifty world of information trading, political scandal, assassination, you name it. Give me more skycar chases like Lair of the Shadow Broker, and more detective work like in Leviathan and LotSB (Liara's Apartment, while not a lot of skill required, was still a nice break).

Noveria, Omega, Illium, Purgatory, Feros, the Citadel, they all had one great thing in common: Corruption. Make a game centered around that, show the darker, grittier stories of the galaxy through the eyes of a Spectre (of which you can choose race, gender and origin). Make it similar to how Dragon Age: Origins was in terms of that Six Degrees of Separation effect it had. I remember going through the Human Noble origin, then the Dalish Elf, then the Mage, and I noticed everything came together in this very organic weave no matter which origin you picked, learning new things on each playthrough.

Make it a very mature tale, with multiple branching paths based on choices seemingly benign at the time (see The Witcher 2). Give the player choices so absolutely heart-wrenching and mind-blowingly amoral that they make the Red ending's Geth genocide factor look like a cakewalk. I want to be able to stare at the screen for hours, jaw dropped to the floor, completely terrified of the options on my dialogue wheel. I want more Virmire decisions, but on a grander, more personal scale. I want A LOT OF 'EM!

I want deep, DEEP character interaction and development akin to Mass Effect 2 conversations with Samara, Mordin, Thane and Legion. None of this crappy Zaeed/Kasumi dialogue we were given in Mass Effect 3. I want oodles of squad banter, decisions that can make squadmates leave or betray you, and cameos from non-squadmate fan favorites. With an ensemble of quirky, mysterious, interesting characters who can expand on organizations and cultures of the galaxy (perhaps a Justicar with a skewed vision of the Justicar Code, or a disconnected Drell assassin with motives and beliefs contrast to Thane's). I want Shepard's decisions (and this is tricky) from the original trilogy to impact certain story arcs in major ways, such as how Chief Administrator Anoleis was handled on Noveria. Hell, give me a mission that takes place inside Donovan Hock's party during the Graybox Heist! Give me occasional nods of what Shep is currently up to in the galazy through Citadel News Net, throw in a reference to how Anderson handled the grounded Normandy in Mass Effect 1. Do it ALL!

Now... How do you accomplish such a grand undertaking you may ask?

TAKE YOUR GODDAMN TIME! And don't you DARE make it an MMO! I don't care if it doesn't come out for a decade, if you aren't excited or willing to throw every ounce of love into a new Mass Effect game, it isn't worth it. Not for you and certainly not for us. Mass Effect should NOT be a cashcow to be milked by people who don't give a flying ****.  Get EA the **** off your back and make the game we know you want to create. Make a single Mass Effect game or even a new trilogy so vast and ripe with new ideas (preferably the ones above :whistle:), with a tone and set of themes so varied from the original trilogy that it stands out in this world of half finished products and Dudebro shoot 'em ups. That is what made the first Mass Effect so great, it was different.

Give us something different again, go back to the roots, and Mass Effect will become a true work of art.





Throw in an Archangel spin-off while you're at it. :?

If they are going with not having us as "a soldier in the galaxy" which they said they are not. How about setting it up as a more Origins style play, where you can be one of the non human races, have a small origins intro mission, then head into the main mission, I mean you have all the classes in place and functioning in ME3 Multiplayer, it would be a small matter to implement them in a single player game. It would be nice and very immerse into the brand( the ME universe) to play as one of the Council races. Posted Image

Have to confess, I did not read the whole topic. But if that idea was mentioned before - count it as one more voice for it.

The Catalist mentioned that eventually organics will create synthetics again. So, if several centuries after ME3 we find ourself in a war between organics and synthetics - it would be only logical. Not the Reaper level, more like Geth. Or (!) any other enemy (Leviathans?) and despite Catalist's prediction organics and synthetics are fighting together against it.

Protagonist can be of any race or just human/synthetic (a la cybernetics from SW) Something like this.

I agree that it should be a new hero and what you have written is a very good idea, however I do not think it should be linked to Shepard. Yes there should definitely be mention of him or even a peek of him and his former crew/LI but in my eyes he died at the end of ME3 and it should be kept that way. I dont want him to be dragged back into it again, unlike ME2 where he died not completing what he was meant to do, yes maybe picking different lazer colours isnt a very fitting end for him but it got the job done. Would you not want rest after battling hell for two lives?I would rather just start with a clean slate.

And in a way I do very much agree that my idea would probably become detached from what Mass Effect is...but has it not already? I guess what Im trying to say is keep some elements of the old ME Story but dont get bogged down in sentimentality. Hell if you look back on ME2 they practically did make a whole new story and cast....Its just my opinion as your opinion is yours.

And to clarify my original comment was not aimed at you.

This is my idea, I don't know if anyone will see it but I'll try to make as short as possible.

I'm not a fan of prequels, and although there are many interesting stories in the mass effect universe, I believe that they would work better in other medium of communication, like books, movies or maybe a series, who knows.

As so, my history is set in the future, decades in the future, and most of the characters of the previous games are still alive. The galaxy is living an unprecedented time of peace, and prosperity. The council is now formed by member from all the sapient species (organic and non organic) and they decide to create a new military force composed by the best individuals from all the other military.

Your character then would be able to be from any race, it could be just like ME3 multiplier. You would then integrate the first team in this new military force and you would be given a ship and a mission.

The council has decided to start the exploration of a new galaxy and you have the job to accompany and protect the first mass relay created by this cycle on it's journey to Andromeda.

So this is where my story divides in two.

1- Imagine that in this galaxy it never existed a cycle and synthetics destroyed all organic life in that galaxy and it's it only objective, but I believe that this would be a kind of a repetition from the previous subject and it's here were my second idea comes into view.

2- Instead of highly advanced synthetics you have a organic species that has acquainted incredible power and technology form millions of year. However they evolved alone for a large amount of time and when a second sapient species appeared they subjugated them into making them believe that they were gods, do to the fact they had technology that they couldn't comprehend (a sort of Stargate sg1 enemy, the Ori). As more and more species evolved, the more and more species they subjugated, demanding "human" sacrifices and stopping them from evolving. keeping them in a human dark ages.

So then the first game could be a first contact an exploration of ours and the new galaxy, the second one is the invasion of our galaxy by an army of this new force as they try to convert our planets into their religion by committing atrocities in the process and you kicking them back. The third and final one is the liberation of Andromeda.

Ps: This would work better with the indoctrination theory, it would be much easier for the development.

Pps: It would be interesting to see statues of Shepard all over the place, and to meet Liara as the shadow broker, Garrus as a Patriark, Tali as a council member and stuff like that. And who knows if I.T. was true maybe, if you would have war assets enough, Shepard might steal be alive and it could be the ME3 equivalent to admiral Hackett.

don't get me wrong I've invested countless hours in all three games for the past five years and enjoyed most of them but its time to retire Shep (moves to Intai'sei with LI) the story has nowhere else to go.

Write a new sci-fi based rpg with similarly engaging characters, storyline and great cinematics. Please not ME4: The Prequel.

A sand box style detective type game that is based on the Citadel.  The station is so huge but you see so little of it.  I would love a game the delves into the dark underbelly of the pinnicle of galactic civilization.  Criminal organizations, political back stabbing things like that.

Curiously, the endings were so bad that this appeals to me far more than it should. I'd even spend 10,000 credits on an Immodium to continue in the reality without starbrat, post-burrito.

I want the main character to be an alien, I'd prefer a Turian, Quarian or Drell. There could still be human characters that could be used to market the game & be love interests, but the main character should be an alien. It'd be a nice change of pace & it'd be interesting to step into one of the other race's shoes.

As for the plot, it should be a much smaller scale & personal game than the first three Mass Effect games. My preferred ideas would be about a C-Sec agent or a band of Mercenaries.

If the game was to be about a C-Sec agent, then I'd like it to be a free-roam game on the Citadel with some gameplay elements borrowed from 'LA Noire', such as interrogations & evidence finding. The free-roam map should be pretty large, the map should be akin to a GTA map to make up for the fact that the game would most likely only take place on the Citadel. There would still have RPG elements & whatnot; there would also be squad mates that tag along with you, I have an idea that you could also help them rise through the ranks of C-Sec if you want too. What characters are in certain positions could effect the story.

As for the Mercenary idea, it would be much more similar to the Mass Effect we all know & love. You would command your own ship with a crew & travel around the galaxy. The game would have an even larger focus on building up your team & ship than previous Mass Effect games. There'd also be a huge emphasis on the Paragon/Renegade aspects of the game; how you decide to play could effect the story. There would also be a plethora of side missions, as it'd make much more sense for a band of guns to hire to do all of these odd-jobs instead of a soldier who's on an important mission. Depending on when this game takes place, it maybe possible to run into Wrex & Zaeed, maybe even have them join your team.

The major gameplay aspects of the original Mass Effect trilogy would still be present in this game. The third person shooting, the RPG elements, the squad of amazing characters, the romances & the dialogue wheels would all be here. The driving sequence shown in 'Lair of the Shadow Broker' would be expanded on & be made into a big part of the gameplay in both games, particularly the C-Sec one.

I,m not going to make a big post about it but I would like to play as a younger Anderson as he appears in the novels. I was also thinking we could go back to a more personal and story driven game which would fit in nicely with what i mentioned above.

i know its not going to happen but an rpg centered around this character would be fantastic and would appeal to many many mass effect fans i think.

just my thoughts!

I want dem gay romances! ME1 is so frustrating, not being able to have Kaidan, but knowing you will be able to in ME3. -_-

Also, I would love to see a frigate like the Normandy return. Maybe even the ship itself somehow.

Ok this is my personal opinion of how i would like to see ME4. Beginning of ME4 we see a recap of shepard and the aftermath with the reapers, all the way up to the explosion of the relay station. But by some unknown force during that explosion instead of killing shepard he/she was transported to another galaxy either by some yet unkown force or the energy of the station in combination with the explosion,etc. Then he/she wakes up, half broken in an unknown place and is rescued by some unknown female or male alien. Soon after that shepard discoveres that he/she is not in his/her own galaxy, you know with all the different new species, city's etc, not to mention no reaper forces and is trying to find a way home. offcourse new bad guys trying to take over that galaxy, some unknown trying to convince shepard to help and fight., some mind games/politics, love and betrail, etc

So basicly a completely new adventure with our favorite hero, New enemies, new friends and loved ones, lots of old memories of the ones he/she left behind offcourse, with the desire to go home, yet torn by shepards eternal nature to help others and not to mention new weapons,armors and ships, since afterall shepard is in a different galaxy, all except for the good old n7 armor. More side quests alongside the main story (I believe there wasn't enough in ME3, in comparison with ME1 and ME2), more dialog options paragon and renegade, with the consequences visible. More options in regards to  relationships (for instance you can have a/1 relationship with someone, yet are still able to sleep with others if you choose and your choosing reflects the behavior of your partner/s for good or bad, depending on the person( basicly a cheating or open relationship conflict) and preferably this time all friends are potential relationship/sex partners to both genders, instead of either or...
perhaps if possible a little bit more customization options regarding armor and weapons, not to complex just a bit more.
As for war assets it would have been fun if there was a mini quest before given that war asset, for instance you scanned a planet and found something, then you go and locate where the signal is coming from, then rescue blablabla crew or blablabla ship and after the mission you have optained the war asset (like a mini game) or (in combination) instead of the minigame you discover, a new city/outpost or a new race, (not all can be visited, instead you get a new market option on your console for buying that races weapon/armor, weapon mod)

In regards to Multiplayer same system as the one in ME3, i like it. but this time instead of only the horde type of game, maybe some different options in that department aswell/ mini games, that could help the war effort aswell.  rescues, intel gathering, assasinations, defend position, conquer, etc same as now just more focussed on that type for each game of choosing.

This would be in my eyes an awesome ME4 sequell, but opinions differ i suppose.

How about a game with an ending? Yes, I think that's a good idea.

You people have to realize, you're not doing anything. He's not going to take any idea's from the community. If he would then Shepard would come back and there would be more emphasis on the story and less on the "OMGZ GUYS LETS SHOOT STUFFZ".

Is it confirmed that it's going to be mass effect 4? at this point it could be ME:shooter, ME MMO, ME: Space racing...

Well, the thread title is a bit off, I agree. I doubt Casey Hudson really cares for our ideas, but other fans may find them interesting and worth discussing, so we post anyway. If nothing else, it serves as another reminder to the people at Bioware that the fans care as much about Mass Effect's past, present, and future as any of them do. They created the universe, but we've made it our home.
