Bioware have already said that ME3 was the end of the shepard trilogy, in a new Mass Effect game there will be no Shepard (which i think is a good idea) i'd love to play as Captain Bailey during the events of the ME trilogy.

BioWare trust is the same as Catalyst's trust. They sad many things which haven't true.

well bioware also said, that our choices would matter and that there won´t be A-B-C endings in me3.
saying something and doing it, are 2 different things.
the last scene gives the best hint ... "The child asks to be told more, and the Stargazer replies that there is time for one more story."

in addition, none of us knows, what the future dlcs will bring. maybe we will get some kind of "workaround" that opens up a canonized ending to build upon. a workaround that makes refusal THE option to continue the series.

games without shepard being the protagonist are possible. but shepard is mas effect. the new hero would suffer from the "whatwouldsheparddo" desease. plus we would miss the crew.


my tip:

write yourself our of this latrine, open up new options for one existing ending (refusal) to be a transition point to the sequel and finish the series with style and shepard.

anything else will not go well.

So much common sense distilled in this post. Agreed completely.

If there is one thing Bioware is really good at is to create interesting characters.

As I wrote before. KOTOR didn't have any of the characters that we know and love, but it worked anyway. Why can't it work with Mass Effect?

Yeah not gonna happen, the endings are what you get with the EC...exapnsions will be if the happen based on those  endings unless it's a prequel.So to all those who hate the ending might I suggest to move onto another franchise or accept them as they are.Although refusal could be an option to expand upon it's never gonna happen.

Shepard's story ends with ME3. At it's end he is either alive and retired, being a celebrated hero (I just can't imagine him coming back after the things he's gone through), dead and being a hero or being the overmind of the reapers.

Shepard's story was of the reaper war. It's time to move on. Let another "hero" hit the lights.

the mass effect universe is relatively boring 4000 years ago ... some minor struggles (compared to the reapers) and few space faring species. no humans .. i personally have no problem playing as an alien - but many people do. all in all - less diversity.
there will allways be this little scratching feeling, telling you, that the storyline will not end as you want - no matter how hard you try.
kotor had a completely different starting point. we knew how it would end - ewoks dancing around a campfire with han and leia finally in love and the farmboy rebuilding the once proud jedi order. in short, sunshine and bunnies. we all knew it would end well and therefore a prequel was not out of question.

farmboy, vader and the smuggler are tied to star wars, yet those characters were build into an existing universe - mass effect is the opposite ... the mass effect universe is build around shepard and the storyline.

Shepard's dead deal with it.

The Milky Way is a big galaxy. There is a place for stories that does not directly connected to the trilogy.

why not ... shepard finally acheaved his/her goal - the defeat of the reapers. but the galaxy is not a safe place. new conflicts, a mostly destroyd infrastructure. rebuilding efforts everywhere, upstarting newcomers who want to take advandage of the weakened galactic society.

there would be a lot to do for shepard. it maybe "small scale" work but in this overall weakened scenario it could have a huge impact.

like i said before ... a new hero will have a bad time, since the new hero will not have shepards stature, charisma, history ans acceptance. and in addition, the new hero would feel a little bit forced on the player. bad conditions for an upstarting hero.

The Milky Way galaxy is a big place. There is a place for stories that does not directly connected to the trilogy.

yet it would play in the same universe - council races, omega, protheans ... everything will still be there.
it is not impossible but in this case, you can start a fresh franchise without the (story)tail, limiting your story telling.

No deal (shot)

Still Shepard deserve better ending

[Teddie Sage]

If Shepard is really dead (I HOPE NOT!!!), I would love to play his or her child in the next game, given he or she had a love interest. If the love interest didn't had Shepard's child, he or she could've adopted an orphan and name it after Shepard, raising it with the ideals of Commander Shepard and its entourage.

Shepard is dead. The devs even went out of their way to point out that the "alive" ending could very well be a last breath. Whatever this new game is, those who buy it will be playing as someone new.

tbh if you ever saw someone die, this wasn´t a last breath! and why the hell call a file "shepard alive" when she/he isn´t?

Pretty much this destroy he lives because its the only ending that makes  alick of sense concerning how shepard woudl do things

Paragons don't pick genocide when other options are available. Destroy is fundamnetally renegade.

because you decide for control, and thats your good right as all others have the right to do choose the ending they like, and it´s fine that you choose the totalitarion dictatorship and call it freedom, thats what all dictators do btw, but that doesn´t give you the right to dictate others that your view of the world is the ultimate truth.

Thats only true for Renegade Control not Paragon Control.

[iTallaNT]

Well I can think of one "new" enemy that could prove even more dangerous then the reapers... leviathan.
Think about it, thanks to the DLC we learned of the creaters of the reapers themselves and what the galaxy was like under their reign. Now that the reapers are gone (and shepard is either dead or retired), what's to stop them from trying to regain controle once more?

To be honest this is one of the most steriotypical directions bioware could take the series, but lets face it the set up is there. '9-9 in which case the new hero would have to try to stop that from happening.

There's no way they'd bring Shepard back+ a replacement. It would mean a total of four people voice acting major lines of dialogue. Every DLC would need four characters back. That's a lot of extra dialogue on top of all the other dialogue.

[IE: Manshep+Femshep+Newguy+Newlady]

ME4: Shepard never die

[zambot]

I'm not a huge Star Trek fan, but I would like to point out, The Next Generation would suck if it were about Captain Kirk.

So yeah, time to move on from Shepard.

[Darepoo]

They knew they were gonna make another Mass Effect game all along and if they didnt find a way to get rid of Shep they know that everyone would of been playing the game asking; What happened to shep? Where is she? I want to see her.

[Dmthoth]

New hero, N7 designed and become specter?
And you can make your own appearence?
What is the point, bring us new charackter?

So, I made a poll for us, fans. Are you agree or not?

http://social.biowar...47/polls/39569/

I can't choose any option. If ME4 is the sequel to ME3, there should definitely be a new main character, but Shep has to live as well. I want my Shep in a cameo. If he's dead in ME4, well, EA can forget about my money right away.

I belive, 'Trilogy' was just for Marketing//

when they made ME1, they didn't have any plan about trilogy's ending..
It's not a trilogy. there was no 'plan'.
That's why ME2 feels so empty and isolate.

well, we can say, ME1, 2, 3 was First chapter of Trilogy.
And now we will make 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9!
YEAY!!

I agree, if Call of Duty and Halo can do it Mass Effect series can do it. I would pay for all of them.

[CaIIisto]

ME4:

No Shepard/Shepard dead = No interest
Shepard cameo = Maybe
Shepard alive/playable = Definite purchase

[GreenFlag]

Only reason "why I want Shepard back" is stupid ending. He deserve more.

I think a new hero could work.

Just provide hanar & elcor squadmates. So much potential.

Bioware never kept it a secret this was the end of shepards story.
