Hey Guys,

Today Mass Effect 4 was announced. What do you think Mass Effect 4 could be about? Shepard won't be there was an antagonist or a protagonist. How do you think about it? Mass Effect 3 is perfect to be end. A very big battle WITH the CITADEL at EARTH. But can you think about Mass Effect without Shepard? I prefer Mass Effect 4 with Shepard, if he is alive, but only as an antagonist, whose fight at the Earth was the last. And who will be the protagnoist and his/her crew? Express your ideas

I would really enjoy concluding Shepard's story in a heroic or proper ending, seriously forced suicide and ambiguous breathe scene is not a proper ending to a Hero(IMO) would be great to end his story properly, but anyways it could also be bloody prequel to the game or something, all i heard was one full game, they could take it anywhere they want, in the past, in-between the series, or create ME4 the sequel after the events of ME3, but if they did go for a sequel it would make an ending canon (probably the most hated one) and have to have a great or formidable antagonist, prequels to me would be like playing that song of Leliana DLC for DA:O, we know how it connects to the story and what will happen regardless-my opinion.

Well...Anderson is dead, so if Shepard lives as suggested in the full ending they could easily do a sequel where we play as a different protagonist and Shepard takes on an Anderson type role.

Some time in the near/mid future, maybe add a few new races. Oh and the option to choose to be an alien.

As we were asked to submit Feedback for ME4, here it is:

-Continue Shepard´s story with the destroy ending

-return to the roots of Mass Effect, hence, more exploring, less Jersey Shore and useless action stuff (Leviathan was a good step in this direction already)

-please don´t make a Mass Effect MMORPG, this would kill the series

- increase the role play elements

- no prequels please (as mentioned above)

Do we actually know if it's really "Mass Effect 4"? It's a full game set in the universe, but they haven't came out and said that it was a numbered title.

I sadly can see them making a N7 combat game staring James Vega in the future. That or some of the elements from that leak a few months back actually being true.

The only idea i can give to Bioware is that if they want to make a sequel they would have to make ALOT!!! of tweaking to their script because the endings are very different 2 endings have reapers still roaming the galaxy while 1 ending has them all wiped out. I think that the refuse ending will be scraped because as you all know everyone is dead so that will be like the ending in Mass Effect 2 where shepard died if you have a save file with that ending you cant export it frankly i find making a sequel for mass effect will be very hard in terms of the sheer amount of choices that affect the future so my Advice to Bioware is to do a prequel set at least 10 years before the events of Mass Effect 1 and give you the power to choose what species you want to be and what gender. The only problem i could think off is what they would name the character in mass effect the just call you by your second name i was thinking that in the prequel they could just call you by your title for example in Dragon age origins they call you Warden and they avoid using your real name so in the next Mass Effect they could just call you Specter and that's it i feel that i could keep writing for hours but this message is starting to become too long .

I think people got very emotional about picking "their ending" and a sequel would either involve a huge amount of work or have a canon-ending. I think no matter what, a canon-ending would ****** of a lot of people, so i wouldnt do that. The only way round would be a sequel so far in the future that the effects dont matter so much anymore. Also it would probably be without shepard.

As for a prequel, i'd like that, as long as the protagonist is interesting and the story doesnt directly connect to ME1-3. That could mean a game without Shepard as the main character. Personally i'd like a game where you play Saren or Nihlus or TIM. I wouldnt like playing Anderson though.

Oh, and as corsair27 said, please no MMO.

maybe a spinoff, rather than a direct sequel - I'd like Mass Effect: Cosair. Basically like Sid Meier's Pirates!, but you know, in a Mass effect universe.

I think the reapers would have a back up in place to stop people being able to survive a harvest, but it should take a long time to come into play.

So around 500 years later something strange starts happening, people going missing and stuff like that. This leads the counsel to deploy a special team headed up by our hero to investigate (the team existed so they would never make the mistake of not listening again)

One of the first missions could be going to find a surviving reaper "expert" but the shadow broker keeps sending people to try and stop you, of course you get through eventually and find a very paranoid Liara, who is convinced you are being controlled by reaper tech and trying to kill her.

You have to get her on your side she sends her best operative (or if she was your romance her daughter) with you as a team mate to stop this new evil/threat.

I thought it was just more Mass Effect but not a Mass Effect 4, I thought they were starting somewhere else with a new story and stuff?

I have one great Idea. Throw it out of the airlock. It was supposed to be trilogy. Let it stay that way or something bad will happen (Like it always does with more and more games that were supposed to be trillogy).

It will be a shooter with no choices, because that is what the suits at EA who have most likely never played a game in their lives think that "we" want. Here is a hint, not everyone wants that generic experience that you are trying to make all of your games into. Some people want an engaging storyline, decisions that matter, and more options than "shoot everything".

Mass Effect 4: Fall of the Protheans. The easy choice would be the Protheans, but I think a series of prequels based on any hero of one of the previous cycles could be good.

In ME2, if you skipped mission, didn't buy some ship upgrades and made bad choices, eventually shepard could end up dead. So your shepard's story ended there and you couldn't continu in ME3.

I say they should do the same with ME4.
If you died in ME3, you cannot import your game in ME4.

I'm not saying that players should then be bound to choose the destroy ending. You can always choose synthesis or control. But your story would end there. Just like it ended if you died in ME2.

Destroy Canon. Majority of the community picked it anyways. Shepard comes back as the protagonist. Shepard is Mass Effect. No other protagonist symbolizes the series like him. It wouldn't be the same without him. Plus, the LI would be thrown out the window if they did not get more time, much like what Tali said in the Priority: Earth Mission. Changing to overall core of characters that have become symbiotic to the series and the beloved fans of the series would cause a massive over turn of popularity. Stop trying to appeal to the masses of the industry. Do what you do best and make ME4 more RPG oriented like ME1. I'll admit the combat system was a high point in ME3, so they could expand on that easily. Incorporate the N7 classes from MP for Shepard.

You had to really try to get killed on the SM.

And putting any kind of canon would push me out of buying. The game's heart was built around choice. Saying my choices were wrong or didn't happen defeats the whole purpose.

I can't really get behind a sequel.

I just got/played thru the trilogy and had an idea on how EA/Bioware can make a lot of money, fans happy and get a fourth mass effect game with Shepard, with one DLC.
This DLC would add:
-more cutseens/changes to cutseens to account for all war assets in the final battle, after tali/legion's mission on rannoch the camera pans around the cliff as tali takes off her mask and Shepard comes up behind her and puts his arm around her waist as she says she's with him til the end to you see her face as shes talking (tali is my LI and I made peace between the quarians and the geth at full paragon).

-after rannoch tali makes a backup drive for EDI so if something happens to her joker won't lose her forever like legion, and the fleet do the same with the geth severs so that it they fail the remaining geth will have a 50000 year head start on finding a way to stop the reapers.

The ending deserves an intro on its own I wouldn't change most of the ending other than the already stated saving of the geth and EDI, the other things I would change are, for control Shepard would disintegrate into liquid not dust, a fifth ending and the end cutseens of the big three.
- renegade: Shepard does nothing/the cycle continues, no change

- paragon: Shepard convinces the catalyst the cycle is wrong and that this cycle deserves a chance, the catalyst sends the reapers away for now.

- destroy: no change till after cutseen, camera in front of almost dead Shepard, keepers start cautiously crowding in around, Shepard takes a breath, keeper nearest to camera turns off to the side and yells in slightly Scottish accent "we need more help!", turn back to Shepard and says grimly "the galaxy's going to need Commander Shepard for comes next". (explanation: the keepers where indoctrinated by the citadel all along)

- synthesis: no change till after cutseen, one month later, camera in front liara in bed, (by default/if you linked minds in ME1 to understand the prothen beckon or share a memory at the end of ME3/if she's your LI (if you have a LI who's not liara it's them and there in your cabin)), naked so you can see synthetic circuits on her skin(but sheets are covering everything that's privet on a human) having a nightmare, zoom in/fade to black on liaras face, someone on their knees chained to the floor, person screams, liara wakes up clutches the sheets to herself, irises glowing, she says "Glyph, i need you to send a message all crew of the Normandy", Glyph wakes up very sleepily, yawns and says " yes liara, what's the message?", liara looks Glyph straight in the eye and replies "Shepard's alive!". (explanation: when Shepard sacrificed his body, his mind became trapped in everyone in the galaxy's minds(the chains), the first fifth of Mass Effect 4 would be you playing as squad mates saving Shepard)

- control: Shepard disintegrates into liquid not dust, already existing epilogue speech, fades-in to the base of the control platform, Shepard liquid starts to move, grips/climbs/builds on its self forming a bio-metal skeleton then bio circuits, layer by layer, until standing where Shepard was is a humanoid reaper, half-a-hight taller then Shepard, it crakes its neck, rolls its shoulders, looks back over its right shoulder eyes still closed, eyes open, it's Shepard, he grins and in a slightly deeper and geth like tone says "looks like I still have galaxy to save", cut to black, death metal music (?) similar to the DeadPool the game trailer plays.(explanation: when he liquidises he becomes the same thing the collectors where turning humans into, he increases in size by half because he is now a lot more hollow, reaper Shepard's face is mirrored on what you Shepard's face is(so each is unique))

Ultimately all three endings have two thing in conmmen:

- Shepard is alive, in some way or another and
- Harbinger was never there!, he was still out in dark space "assuming direct control" of a proxy reaper, to far form the mass relays for the energy from the crucible to get to him and disobeying the catalyst if the paragon ending is achieved, also he was first reaper made from almost the entire leviathan species and there weren't collectors to make reapers till the last cycle, he can make reapers and is 50 times bigger then sovereign,(all five different ending Shepards at once, "Bosh'Tet....", EDI walks by "that part wasn't a joke") .

Mass Effect 4 starts about one month after your choice, as for where, I think they would start like this:

-renegade, Sorry i got nothing?

-paragon, new area, called citadel hub?, at the base of the teleport beam on earth from the end of ME3, Shepard goes up to sort out some political BS on the citadel, Sorry got bearly more than renegade at the moment

-control, stowed away on a cargo ship going to the citadel, sneak off at landing pad, go through security, every alarm on the citadel goes off two executive officers come running around the corner, camera on ther legs, zooms from between their shoulders, Reaper Shepard is on his knees, hands on his head, says "you think C-Sec would have gotten used to me not being dead", Garrus and Tali drop their guns, both "Shepard!?!" (got loads of backround info on this one)

-synthesis, meeting in briefing room, liara explaining what she saw, head-tentacles resembling what can only be described as asari bed head "i'm telling you he's alive!", EDI with a hand on Jokers waist "It is systemically improbable he could survive for that long", Joker with his arm around EDIs shoulders "Yeh,i know how you feel liara, no one can replace shepard, no offence Mr Commander Vega Sir!", joker mock salutes, Commander Vega,"please, i already told you all its just james,now as much as i want belive you liara there's no way i can prove your telling the truth...", Javik speeks up from the back,"if you would trust me i could enter the mind of Dr T'soni and prove or disprove if what she says is the truth?", James,"where not going anywhere fast without a third party, and your the closest we got", Javik, "very well, Dr T'so... Liara if you try to block me it will hurt...Do you wish to proceed?, Liara straightens herself,"yes", Javik steps forward put a hand on ether side of liaras head and then touches foreheads, on contact the screen shows the scene with shepard chained to the floor, then screaming, shows new scene Shepard in a defited voice"if only they knew", Shepards eyes flash open "all we got were the scouts!", Javik is thrown from liara by a biotic mental blast, James"JAVIK!",Javik"I'm alright, but we must go to to ilos at once", James following Javik "slow down, What did you see?", Javik turns on the spot and looks Vega square in the eyes"three things, 1 Shepards alive and running out of time, 2 a device designed by what you would call priests to give new bodys to the dead so they may live again WAS made on ilos unlike what my unit was told ", James, "and the third?", Javik turning back towards the cockpit in a determined voice "all we won was a battle, the war is still on!".

-destroy, shepard wakes up, sits up and immediately hits his head on a pipe, walks out of the small room into a large town that looks like a metal tree-top village in the rafters of the citadel and is greated by a keeper witha a einstein mustache and hair,"hello", Shepard "you can talk?", Keeper "apparently so, a lack of indoctrination can make you very talkative. The name's Theodore", Theodore stretches out his hand, Shepard takes it warily and says "Shepard, what happened?", Theodore,"walk with me, you were out out for quiet a time, a month to be precise", Shepard" My squad!", Theodore"Ther're fine, yes so is <Incert LI Here>",Shepard, breaths out relived"that's good",Theodore"after you blew up the citadel and destroyed the reapers in the galaxy , we found you and brought you back to the land of the living", Shepard" not that im not greatful, but the last time anyone did that it didn't end to well, why, what do you gain?",Theodore and Shepard stop"A world safe once more, what you fought on earth was merely a token, and scouting party if you will, harbinger and the reaper army were still in the dark space when the crucible fired...", Shepard" Wait, were?!", Theodore looks up at the stars "the galaxy about to become a very fearful place Mr Shepard, unless you can stop them for good?"Shepard "Im sure as hell not going to LET them take away everything and everyone i love!!", Theodore "just what i was hoping you'd say that".

also some random details from another post

-The reapers were supposed to stop genocide by killing all races before they commit it, what if harbinger decided to do just that
-Whos to say he can only make reapers or the collecters/ protheans were the only race they changed
-I let the batarian Balak live?(that one might come back to bite me on the butt)
-I always thought miranda (or mabye jacob if shes dead) would takeover after the illusive man was gone
-Lastly who knows how much he has upgraded himself, as far as i know he could big as the star the cerbrus base orbited in ME2 and have a gun that shoots Deathstars!

I want be a story writer for games, movies and books, all I would want is to work on this personally if EA and Bioware think it's a cool idea, so if anyone knows how to get in touch with someone there that would be great.

P.S. please post if you think sounds cool (it's been bugging the hell out of me) and how much you would be willing to pay this DLC (so that they can get estimated profit margin).

Forget the entire ME3 mess. Set it a million years after current ME time, with entirely new races, with maybe a few who are clearly evolved or influenced by the older races, thereby reducing all the choices to vague mythology. The new races would treat the stories of "The Shepard" as a religion, and the conflict would center around the various races and their differing interpretations of the outcome.

as i have said before, as far as i wan't more ME experience, i am quite in honesty worried how this "next" Mass Effect will be since it will not be post ME3 and as it has been said, No Shepard....so i don't think i am in hope for this as Liara is my special someone and as i have said to her "i will always love you". and being "another" would just not work for me :unsure:
