It would be cool to do something that involved the mysterious dark energy. When I say that, I don't mean something like the rejected Dark Energy ending. I mean something like the antagonist steals a VI assisted weapon (Or the VI becomes aware and turns on evil or something) that can manipulate dark energy to the point that using it could cause untold levels of destruction. The Alliance/Council is trying to cover it up, and its up to the protagonist (Who I will name Biff Manface) to stop it and keep it under wraps. You just had a trilogy where the main enemy were Mecha Cthulhu who harvested organic so well that it took 1 billion+ years to stop them, you aren't allowed to make the antagonist or the stakes that much "smaller" than Reapers and harvesting.

It would also be cool to have more NPCs notice that my character has biotics, like how Dragon Age NPCs notice that I'm a Mage or an Elf.

@CaseyDHudson Great suggestions coming in for the next #MassEffect game. Seems to be lots of interest in playable alien races.

I think this is what he wants really.... what do you think, want lpay like a alien or human in mass effect 4?

lol

Play as Shepard's team mates :D trying to restore Shepard's body :D

I forget where that quote about not wanting to make a Shepard 2.0 for the next game, but it makes me think that you'll get to play as one of the crew members.

I think it might be interesting to change things up and drop the Action style, and maybe go with more of an espionage thing. That's not a complaint about the action at all, I just think it could make a nice difference. It could be a good way to delve into the more social/political aspects of the MEverse.

The story has to make sense. I know Bioware can do this because up until ME3's ending my suspension of disbelief was rarely if ever broken.

improve upon the rpg elements, item system and exploration that was present in mass effect 1 instead of gutting them like they did for 2 and 3. Besides that im quite satisfied with how 2 and 3 turned, so just continue on:)

i said it before.
me 4 must be set after me3 its more rom for new things,
a prequel is a bad idea as most things is covered by comics, novels and other media
squadmates backstorys are not intresting enogh for a game and it is mostly already explaned to us

as for me 4 the basic requirements is you have to have a ship, squadmates, same or better dialoge/morality/squademate system and rpg elements and a standard or improved mass effect galaxy traveling system with lots of hub and exploration worlds

thigs i wish to see but not expect:

abilety to choose race atleast counsil races.
the mako returns XD.
if the game is a prequel and is sett around 100 years after me3
the abilety if possible to play as shepards decentans or shepard and liaras asari daughter

Only if you consider the books'n'comics as canon and part of the lore. I don't, especially since the last book was violating the lore a lot. ;)

But I concur: please no prequel. I disliked it in Star Trek (Enterprise / the new movie) and I won't like it in Mass Effect.

Aye.

Okay, 'though only Asari and Humans are interesting when it comes to "romantic interaction content". Turians are able to do so, but I doubt BW wants to show us a naked Turian. And Salarians are a race of asexuals - they do it only for procreation and don't have a concept for romantic love.

the mako returns XD.

With the option to upgrade it's armor, shields, weapons ... yes!

if the game is a prequel and is sett around 100 years after me3

Not that important - 10, 20 years later are interesting as well. I'd love to see the time period right after the war: the galaxy must be a huge version of the "Wild West" since the lack of a proper military presence of each government. Very tempting time.

the abilety if possible to play as shepards decentans or shepard and liaras asari daughter

Well - only if you imported a savegame with Liara as LI. For everyone else: no, just no. I don't want Liara be the only returning squadmate or something.

Hey you all,
I know there's a wowowowow stuff about OMEGA, ok, I'll say so what ? cuz, for me I'll buy it. Just for the "more into" universe of it. But one stuff I don't understand is : Why ? Why the Citadel and all places are so dead ? Can't you bring some new stuffs, can't you bring home life in this "supposed to be core"
We have quest or mission but no life in it ? Why ? Ain't it supposed to be the core of alien races ?
Even if it's a question of "talking" can't you just add some life.
Just add some comments or may be next mission intend in your add ons.
Not specially used but hell, can't you feel this area is so dead ?
I know there're some network report but hell................
I fell like playing a post-apocalytic (like play alone) opera where we're supposed to see a lot of people.
Why is this so dead ? It will be better for the immersive state that this game gave us since the beginning.
Am I stupid asking that ?

Don't make a female character who requires a massive amound of sex appeal to draw attention. Seriously - you do that, I will not buy it.

Characters like Gianna Parasiini from Mass Effect 1 and 2, Ashley Williams in her Mass Effect 1 incarnation. Doctor Chakwas who was a/THE maternal figure. Hell, even fem!Shep wasn't 'sexy'. She had personality that changed depending on player choice.

Also - don't make it an Origin game. I swear to holy hell, I can not emphasis that ENOUGH.
DO. NOT. MAKE. IT. ORIGIN. INCLUSIVE. Again. I will automatically not buy it.

Prologue - unless its structure in such a way that it allows all possibilities of the current trilogy to take place - its a bad idea. It'll flop, and probably contradict what has already been previously established in lore both in the triolgy and books.

Sequel is the way to go, most likely. But, set in such a distance future that the choices Shepard mades have little conicidence beyond cosmetics. IE 200-500 years in future. Maybe it's a slight stat difference:

 Destroy - better weaponary, organic-dominated society. Suited for Soldier/Vanguard classes.
Synthesis -  Better physical traits, able to use tech easily. Organics+Synthetics working peacefully together for better future. Best suited for Adept/Sentinal Players.
Control - massing fleets, advanced technology. Synthetics begin to out-populate Organics. Suited for Infiltrators+Engineers.
Refuse - Disadvantaged at all three classes - for experienced players who love a challenge.

Something like that I guess.

Don't let William C. Dietz ANYWAY near it...

Liara must NOT BE INVOLVED in ANY WAY, SHAPE or FORM. I CANNOT stress that enough. If she is, give us the option to kill her without purposely being slackasses ( IE. worst 'destroy' ending). And for the love of Chr!st! Do not force us into a goddamned friendship with her!

Shepard? Leave him/her alone. S/he's dead/retired. Their work is done, their story is over. Allow them to rest in peace. References to their acheivements, maybe even a cameo of a timecapsule or monument in their honor is ok. Maybe even a virtual ghost or echo in the Control/Synthesis endings. An official AI/VI copy of him as a memorial if sufficent time has passed between the two trilogies.

Let Karpyshin and Weekes lead the script. He wrote the three books, he's quite familiar with the lore, creates wonderful characters and maintains characterization consistantly.

Have all the Teammates come back with important roles to the plot. Maybe even recruit Shepard's former love interest. Give details about their lifes and wereabouts during their lives, again if sufficent time has passed and the former is not fesible.

... that's all I have so far. Gotta sleep now.

No prequel!
Space battles would be nice too. Also lots of ships models (three games and we never saw a salarian warship once!)

They def teased space battles like you know actually ordering ships around with the CIC (similar to End War's holographic intro) so I would love that. A little bit of RTS would kick some ass esp in the First Contact Wars. Yeah and on the ground, after you took out the remaining ships and planet defenses, 4 player squad based awesomeness with objectives. So basically I'm saying close up 3rd person version of Empire at War. If anything yes, keep the tying each game up process (that's what made the ME games)!

Post Mass Effect 3 universe. Not interested a pre-quel in any shape or form.

Back to a more rpg'ish type game such as ME1, less auto-dialogue. I preferred the dialogue of ME1 as well. More exploration again like ME1 had (landing on planets or discovering side quests by scanning). No fetch quests or eavesdropping quests. The fighting of ME3 style though.

I don't really have issues with Mac, he just shouldn't be in charge. Character writer? Plot writer for a portion of the game? I'm totally fine with that. But the big picture? I think there are a lot of skilled writers out there who can pull a better stunt. Some of the biggest issues in ME3 stem directly from Mac's part as lead writer, therefore: back to the roots, bring back the staff of ME1/ME2 writers.


@ Aurora: I don't think ME4 will come without Origin. But I concur with most stuff you wrote.

First of all: thanks for asking and thanks again for making ME serie. I am French, I post here since I think there is more chance in being read and having comment here compare to French BSN
What I would like (first points are the most importanst for me then, by decreasing oder):
- a RPG with third person shooting action like ME1, 2 and 3
- a trilogy with ONE single hero (on the contrary to Dragon age) and save import: the best idea I have seen in RPG for years. you make your character and you learn to like and love it.
- possibility to play male or female
- a post ME3 story (we know what happen before) or a story without specifc time location.
- since we know all the species in space, I would appreciate having more time devoted to plot and to develop hero story and characters story (I appreciate the improved number of discussion between teammates in ME3 I would like to have even more and to know more about them).
- a threat even bigger that the reapers (dark energy one or things like that?).
- a story about specter. Maybe like the the following movies "The fugitive" or "The Bourne Legacy": I like the idea of a hero who is hunted by a whole galaxy because he is seen as a threat whereas he/she is the only one to be right.

That's all. Thanks for listening.

I would be interested in seeing a species choice in the next game. Would in interesting to view the galaxy of mass effect and one race other than human.

Like most have to a more return to ME1 style of RPG with the converstations and choices.  The ME3 gameplay was perfect but I would like to see more of a return to ME1 loot system and general more RPG flavor to it.

the way I see it, in the next game if it's a sequel, Shepard is either dead or throwing in the towel, retiring, going on vacation to a spot that isn't a smoking ruin and getting laid by his/her LI like their is no tomorrow or off helping repopulate Thessia. with that said there are 2 things that would be interesting to see implemented:

1) play through the adventures of shepard's squadmates. Zaeed's could have his own game with the amount of war stories he has and that's just 1 out of 18 characters.

2) if the first isn't wanted or is unable to be done then how about just multiple choices on who our new character is as far as what race he/she is and what background they have.

Na, the loot system of ME1 was bad. You had to spend too much time on liquifying equipment you didn't need and inventory management in general. I like the system of ME3 with those upgrades and tech-loot you can collect while doing missions.

However, the RP elements of ME1 and ME2, that includes more dialogue options, romances, character story arcs and such, should return. Actually, it's the main reason why I love ME1 and ME2 and why I am disappointed by ME3.

Additional race choices are good, 'though I'd stay with humans *g*
