OK It's been confirmed & apparently bioware want to hear our ideas...
1 RULE : NO Shepard or equivilent type "Hero"

MY IDEA:
I've studied the first 3 books, all the comics, played all 3 games & the ipad games...& the best choice of direction which would effect the triology would be a prequel......but prequels have to be done carefully. Look at the new movie of The thing....for a prequel it was perfect. SO with all i've gathered from Mass Effect I believe the best area which covers alot of ground would be.....
THE WARS!!!!!

First Contact wars, Rachni wars, Krogan Rebellion, Geth war (Quarians not citidel)
I thought the wars were a good idea for the following reasons:
1. The basic details of each war is known such as leaders/squads involved, the outcomes but alot is still blank & blank to me sounds like a canvass lol
2 This idea gives you the choice of different races (like multiplayer) following new characters or younger versions of characters we met in the trilogy breifly (the general in chora's den in ME1 & on the commons in ME3 for example). Imagine playing as a Spectre (maybe even Saren)........

Just Imagine playing first contact war with either force Turian or human?!?!

But yeah that's my idea in it's briefest form, feel free to comment, add to it or even post your idea!!!!:lol:

A ship captain in a lawless region of space. Freedom to go pirate, merc or freedom fighter against a corrupt regime or corporation. Economy system of loting, deep space mining, smuggling and trade. Before you state "this a fan of EVE online talking!" i never played it. But i admit, my ideas look too much like MMO.

im with renleech on his but with the post leader i don't like that idea unless they added Females of the Turians and Krogans that are playable So far i have yet to see that and their Fiasco with Me3 i don't think i'll trust them to heavily like i did with this one and me2 both werent up to par as me1 status was.

me i would rather see them pick off what they did with with our LI having an offspring of them but this Child can choose what they want to do be a criminal Resistance movement smuggler human/alien trafficking etc but they'd still be tailored to the classes we get to deal with but more advanced in terms of skills that had been either upgraded by him/her or the organization that they work for.

and able to use Dreadnaughts Carriers frigates cruisers or Aircraft carriers but also able to organize and upgrade the fleet that they own higher personel to fit them accordingly.

and maybe explain more about the Rachni and first contact war as well in maybe a later dlc along with new weapons new upgrades new mods having the entire weapon platform being upgradedable to your liking if you don't want to use thermal clips to add a vent system into it each upgrade would cost you money but upgrades would increase damage accuracy penetration range the weapon can fire but also able to make it either like the thanix cannon that the Turians developed soon after me1 was finished that we ourselves got to see punch some nasty holes in the collector cruiser.

but aside from that i don't mind what else they put but i want to see all the warships that ME universe has we already seen a scout vessel and a frigate i want you know to feel like a bad a-- with the biggest gun my race or i could obtain either salvaging and repairing or something.

but also able to choose all the races their are and maybe introduce a new race that will eventually come to be friends with the races we know and love.

and also able to see the quarians unmasked honestly i would love to see what Tali and other quarians truly looked like .

I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I HAVE THE OVERWHELMING FEELING I NEED TO SHOUT. ON THE INTERNET.

AS LONG AS MASS EFFECT 4 IS A SEQUEL, I DON'T REALLY CARE. I'LL BE BORROWING IT FROM MY FRIEND ANYWAY. HE THOUGHT THE ENDINGS WERE OKAY. I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING HIM BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT. CAN'T BORROW GAMES OTHERWISE.

MY VIRTUAL THROAT IS GETTING SORE.

Sorry I'm ignoring the 1 Rule but: Mass Effect 4 should be about Shepard
Either send Shepard to darkspace to kick some more reaper ass or make Shepard part of rebuilding the now broken world.

You got to remember that the UNIVERSE is a big big big big big big place.. there are more then one galaxy.. they said that the citadel is a relay itself. the question you should ask yourself is..

Where does it lead??

And why not use Ashley or Kaiden as the main character.. continue with it off with 3..


btw.. Mr. Yanick. If you get to read this, I would like you to know that I am a young cinematography, full of vision and imagination. I would love to join the team with your new projects.
ps you dont have cinematography in the "job posting" area. Maybe you like one :)

While I do enjoy the thought of playing the wars of ME lore, those just feel like expansion pack material to me rather than full game material. In most cases you wouldn't be able to involve humans, and while my most wanted feature is the ability to choose my character's species, without humans it is just too hard to relate to a game's universe. Not to mention it will really throw off new players.

What I want is a true sequel, set maybe a decade or two after 3, at most a couple centuries so as to be familiar but changed (and enough time to throw in enough retcons to make ME4 work). Give us a choice of our character's species DA:O style. The Mass Effect galaxy is a dangerous place, even with the Reapers defeated, the Krogan are still going to hate the Salarians and probably Turians as well. The council was completely ineffective in preventing the war, so maybe some old alliances have crumbled and new ones sprouted up.

I want to see a Mass Effect that explores this landscape, where old, traditional, and devastated powers like the Asari and Salarians have to deal with motivated upstarts like the Krogan and Quarians along with an expanding humanity. There is plenty of potential for conflict, and depending on which species you start out as you can see it things from multiple sides and influence events to your liking. Give me a game that does this and I'll be happy.

I was thinking the same thing after the reapers maybe the council fell apart and everyone is just fighting each other over who helped or who didn't.

What if they made it where its a 100 years or so into the future, enough time that the reapers are either nearly forgotten or races are equaled out enough that a reaper in one army doesnt destroy another non-reaper army. Maybe make it so depending on shepards choices, like keeping wrex alive or helping the quarians make peace with the geth change how a new war becomes.

Personally, I would like to see a Turian Krogan and other "meat" as vega would say against the squshies. the Humans are toren between the sides.
 You know make it so that the new character chooses how to either make peace with the meat and squshies, or side with one and turn it into a new deadly conflict

actually Slappy i figured it wuld be better to actually have it  where Shepard  has an offspring of your LI.  
but Shepard  and that LI  being still alive and still Mentioned and a chance here and their talking to them  like they did in Me1 with a mini quest with   the Spacer/war hero    how they  had a mom  still on active duty and able to talk to her And then here news about her fin the later series.

i was thinking that it would be a good idea to have.

Say that your LI  was  Liara   you'd have a human/Asari Mix  baby but still have that Asari look/power.

or you could have a  Turian/quarian  mix baby  you now like a new species or something.
or have just only  Liara  Kaiden Ashlee  you know be mom/dad of the offspring and you and the LI raised em to fit their all bad a--  ways and a few things  that he or she  could learn from them  but you know still have traits of their own. Like shepard did  i was thinking  they could do something like that in the Sequel   but have a whole new perspective of the ME universe while still keeping the traits every one loves from ME1.

but yea i do like your idea to   <3

i would have to slightly   disagree with you on that mostly on the Quarians   having a war with them  the quarians aren't   really as violent as you think they are   Sure  The violated   one of the oldest Treaties  in the ME universe by  outfitting every warship from top to bottom with thannix cannons   even their agricultural vessels but you needed to see it  from their perspective they only did it to Survive against the Geth   against their creations because they Made a mistake that they didn't know  why that Geth said   "does this unit have a soul"    Same Reason Legion that Every one knows and Loves had his own personality  Like us  they to fought to survive  but the real kicker is they never exterminated their  Creators   never Started wars with other organics   the ones that Did  are   the ones who had a virus in their system and Followed either  the Reapers  or Saran arctureus   basically    its like us in a way.

We fight for our country  and to protect  the ones we love  tho in a way for oil as well  but honestly i agree with most of it just not the quarians    Plus it takes more than a decade for  the numbers  to  become reasonable for war  we have more than  what the qurians  do  they don't breed like the Krogan do where they could have thousands of babies at any  given time.  Qurians   and Asari are like us  we can only carry 4 at a time  tho their is one Woman who had a set of 6 kids  in a single pregnancy  i forgot  her name but it was all over    Good morning America

im just saying decade  or two isn't really enough  for a population   to flourish  maybe 70 years later At most  be enough   to go with what you said  especially after the reaper invasion  and you gotta figure that it took its Toll on Humanity   Asari Krogan  Geth   Quarians Vorcha  hanar Drell   what remained of the batarians   military power Salarians   the only one species was the Yahg  that never got Touched  as you  and i both heard in the reports   from Liara and  Admiral hackett.

Let's see the rest of the galaxy come down on the Asari Matriarchs for withholding a Prothean Beacon that held vital data about the Reapers that could have made the war easier. Liara flat-out mentions that withholding prothean artifacts is a very severe felony, so how do the Asari view their leadership because of this?

Nobody is accussing of the Quarians of being any more warlike than any other species (As a non-council species, they weren't even bound by The Treaty of Farixen you mention).  All I'm saying is that they will undoubtedly be a new power in the 'verse, one that none of the old powers will have antiipated, much like the Krogan.  Consider this, In the immediate aftermath of the war, they gain a pristine homeworld, dozens of colonies, and in some cases an alliance with the strongest Navy this side of the Turians while everyone else is realing from their colonies being razed by the reapers.

In other words, they will be a major economic powerhouse as well as military power that came out of the reaper war stronger than going in.  They may not be agressive, but the racism piled against them for the past 300 years will not die overnight, and the other races may even be jealous of the Quarian's good fortune.  That would add a great layer to a Quarian subplot in ME4, and a few decades is plenty of time for their population to reach back into the high millions as a baby-boom is likely to happen with victory and all those colonies to fill. I personally would love to play as a Quarian character in this sort of environment.

I would like a sequel. But I dont see how they can do that. With the 3 entirely different endings of ME3, a sequel is almost impossible. Unless its going to happen in another galaxy - but BioWare said it will happen in the Mass Effect universe familiar to us. So its a prequel?

But they can always head canon one of the endings...possibly the Synthesis ending - oh the horror.

True  but they did Violate it   neverless  and probably known about it as you heard Admiral Raan   saying that she herself will go to the council once the war is over  but you also gotta see that most if not all of the quarian power minus the non   combatants  have been sent  to  Sol   to help shepard  thats not a likely Scenario considering the reapers nearly Decimated Most of the  fleets that wer their including fighter craft  Krogan are the more  likely  to you know  be the "devil powerhouse" not the quarians considering they  lost majority of the fleets  tha they had. even that was not enough for the repears  deadly power.

but you are right on some aspects tho.

The only likely scenario is to do Mass Effect 4 during or before the end of Mass Effect 3. That's the safest route to go with and the most unexplored.

I too, could even continue from the 3rd. But there are may problems.

1) There are 4 endings.

If the story is going to continue from the last trilogy, there 4th must start from the end of the 3rd.

2) plus, for the Krogans, the story will need to continue off if you let Wrex live or if you choose Wreav and if Eve served or not. And aswell if you cared the genophage. So just that is another big story to add into the game.

3) There are lots of variables you need to think about firsts. Variables from the first, second and third.

To make it easier for them self (bioware), they might do a prequel about Shepard's origin (earthborn, colonist, spacer)  and notoriety (ruthless, war hero, sole survivor).
ie. akuze, blizz or torfun.
