How do you top the Covenant and the Flood?

True but they can be shot and killed relatively easily. 

Couldn't the reapers indoctrinate the flood?

The prometheans look like Ceph rejects.

The Reapers could just indoctrinate Gravemind......no more flood. And Sovereign himself could easily destroy the entire pathetic Covenant Armada.  This wouldn't even be competition, the Reapers would own it.

If you want Ceph Rejects, watch Battleship. Prometheans look unique enough to be called their own thing.

What possible menace or threat could possibly be as dreadful? Or does the next installment focus even more on characters, with any antagonistthreat feeling secondary. Characters are their strong suit afterall.

Leviathans en masse after a millenia of breeding flying around in Citadels with with quantum shielded hulls. Firing ship disabling pulses everywhere. I think that's worse than the Reapers. They outcome wouldn't be as bad if we lost.. well, actually it would if my hypothesis is correct. As they'd have to kill us too because of our ability to make synthetic life.

ME4 will just be first contact war... they cannot possibly continue ME3 plot as they will have to choose between green/blue/red as their main end for the game which pretty much will ****** off everyone.

[Lord_Dweedle]

Leviathans? nah, they were hiding from the reapers because they were afraid, nothing more nothing less, they just didnt like Shepard catching them with their pants down

[Sable Rhapsody]

Nyarlathotep. Alan Moore's rendition of the Joker. The darkness in Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Or for that matter, any other villain that doesn't shoot itself in the foot by undermining the very thing that makes it scary.

[Purge the heathens]

You can top the Reapers, but you shouldn't.

"So, we finished the trilogy about the eldritch abominations who harvest all sentient life in the galaxy every 50k years. What's our next threat?"

"Uhm... How about an eldritch abomination that's even -more- dangerous?"

"Genius!"

I'm all for political machinations, like a cluster**** between at least five different factions.

Wows been doing this pretty much, every expansion includes a bigger threat for us to fight, well MOP is actually taking a break now.

But remember that theres always a bigger fish.

Nobody gives a crap about a "war" that lasted 3 month that we know the ending to.

And ME3 can be continued easily, rather they go forward with destroy (which is overwhlemingly the most popular) or make it ambiguous in the distant future. And obviously they don't give a sh*t about pissing people off.

[Icinix]

Reapers before or after ME3? If after...Tele Tubbies with a thirst....FOR BLOOD.

[The Devlish Redhead]

What about the Daleks or Borg?

Or an internal attack while they sleep? If they are spaceships what would massive internal sabotage do?

Probably stuff in more Cerberus, since they were the main threat and TIM was the final antagonist of ME3. :|

[Metalunatic]

Nothing can top the reapers. That's a big reason on why I don't want a sequel for ME3.

[Jvolikas]

How do you top the Reapers? You don't.

[The_Other_M]

How do you top a 1-dimensional villain? Better writing.

[SentinelShepParagon]

Leviathans, Cerberus resurgence using tech from dead Reapers to reverse engineer super weapons, Dark Energy

I don't think these would "top" the Reapers, but they would certainly be interesting and viable villains.

[Deadpool9]

Ratchet up the tension and scares along the lines of EA's sister game Dead Space, Rachni (ME1), Jarrahe Station/Normandy boarded/Collector ship (ME2). ME3 tried on Samara's mission and in Leviathan initially, but immediately dropped the scary atmospherics and turned into plain, easy shooters.

Javik threatened worse Reaper variants, but we dealt with the same ol' Husks/Mauraders/Cannibals/Ravagers/Banshees/Brutes. I know the Reaper variants seem like a lot, combined with the Geth variants and the Cerberus variants. Even bringing back Abominations, Scions, Praetorians, and Collectors would've been a welcome addition to the Reaper forces. But honestly, I think Bioware should double the variants from three groups to at least 6+ groups of variant baddies. The more, the merrier. After all, if we have to spend most of our time with these cannon-fodder enemies, much more thought should be put into them than has been seen. A good ending and far more variety in enemy types should be two major focuses of next-gen games.

to be honest for a good story you dont really need a horrifyingly terrible enemy. we've already had them........... no no not EA, they are still here *cough* THIS HURTS YOU *cough* oooft sorry been meaning to get that cough looked at, any who i think it should focus more on characters and more closer to intergalactic politics etc........ society is still rebuilding etc long after the war blahblahblah races are splintering blahblahblah threatens the galaxy blahblahblah you need to do this do that. blahblahblah.  


or you could have an old and ancient enemy return from a previous cycle (not the reapers obviously) that threatens the whole galaxy  but not in the way the reapers did and it doesnt have to be as dark and grim either as you'd need some form of ancient technology to defeat them like they were in the previous cycle by like the innosanon or something or however they are called lol.
