I had an idea some time ago for a Dragon Age-like origin story prologue, I'll just copy it here:



I had an idea for Mass Effect 4, that i wrote down on our own forum, I'll just translate it here:

Ok,so the 4th ME would follow the Synthesis ending, because as I see it, that's BW's favourite ending, it needs the highest EMS, and it will most likely be considered as canon. (I don't like this ending, I chose destroy ) What would be the effects of Synthesis? The better understanding between organincs and synthetics, for starters, and also every organic would be like a slightly augmented agent from Deus Ex. Every flaw in the body would be aided, or replaced by synthetic machines. Better eyes, hearing, etc. Also everyones memory could be accessed if he/she is willing to
share it, and uploaded into servers. Like the geth consensus. Furthermore, the infolink-like communications, that doesn't need verbal communications between friends, the can communicate by thoughts, even from great distances.

Then, the story. The Reapers left the galaxy, after Shepard's sacrifice changed everything to what was their goal. Understanding, and peace was achieved between the species, and the geth. But the basic nature of the species didn't
change. They didn't became a bunch of hippies, sitting around a fire, singing Kumbayah . They could still have negative feelings, like anger, hatred, greed. And that could instigate a war.

As for the main storyline: this story takes place like 100-120 years after ME3. Everything were rebuilt, even Mass Relays (maybe by Reapers), and everyone lives their lifes just as before the war. There are still pirates, and mercs in the Terminus, raiding the Attican traverse, Krogans are still seen as brutes by most species, more so if you didn't cure the Genophage/Wreav leads them without Bakara. But the geth are accepted into society, if your Shep chose to save them, or they allied with the quarians. But it's almost to peaceful now. Nothing really changed for a hundred years. The organic species "reached" their evolutionary peak. And what did Mordin say about that: www.youtube.com/watch No limitations, culture stagnates, right? And that's why a group wants to instigate a war between the species. To stir up this motionless pond tha galaxy turned into. So they start to stage attacks, that would make every species suspicious at the other. Their work, their goal is a little ambigious, and that could work very vell with a paragon/renegade system.

Oh, and of course, as this takes place 100-120 years after ME3, you could see some familiar faces. Like Liara, Wrex, Grunt, Aethyta... Even an old Miranda (remember, at that time a normal human lifespan is 120-140 years, and she will live 1.5x as long, thanks to her genetic engineering)

Next up, the Characters: I was aiming for a Dragon Age: Origins-like character selection, with six different beginning, diferent views, and all. Let's see:

Turian:
You and your brother/sister are a member of the of the Turian Blackwatch - their most elite armed force. There is a real camaradery, and brotherly/sisterly love between the two of you, spiced with some jealousy by your brother/sister, because you are one of the very rare turian biotics.(could make up some nice conversation). But then someone detonates a bomb at your home town, and your family becomes casualties too. So you two quit the surprised and dawdling army, to find these terrorists, and seek revenge. And this is how you will drop into the main plot. (by investigating at a wrong place in a wrong time)

Asari:
You are a very young asari. You don1t know who your father is, but he/she was most likely did a very big impression on your organisms, because you have no biotic abilites. Then your mother dies in an accident/illness, and after that, you find some stuff at her personal belongings, you go on to find your father - instead of shaking your ass in some bar [img]http://na.llnet.bioware.cdn.ea.com/u/f/eagames/bioware/socialhttp://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/joyful.png[/img] - to find out, why are you so special (in a wrong way). And that investigation leads you into the main plot.

Human:
You grown up admiring Commander Shepard's accomplishments. He/she is your role model, and that's why you joined the Alliance marines. You want to reach the N7 rank yourself, too. And your well on your way, everyone thinks you are the best marine in the regiment. And on one day there happens to be an attack. Alarms going off everywhere, you have to fight off misterious enemies. And in that battle, you accomplish something great. Something like what lead Shepard to his/her Spectre promotion. And after thet, your superiors sees you fit for the investigation into this attack.

Salarian:
You are an intelligence agent in STG. You are trying to piece togather the latest happenings (Explosion on Palaven, Attack on the Alliance...) and you realize, there is some connection between them. Someone tries to instigate a war between the species, who are already suspicious at each other. Of course, you superiors don't believe it, so you go around them, and to bring the evidence forward to the great government (the Councli,if that still exists), before things would escalate. You just only hope, you're not late already...

Vorcha: (Yes, a vorcha)
You were the only survivor of a plane crash on a planet, and at that time, you were still an infant. You were found, and brought up by a compassionate salarian-asari couple. And because that, you are more intelligent, and learned, then all other vorcha. Of course the other people in the colony exclude you because of your ancestry, which you don't understand, bacause you never have met another Vorcha... until now. A pirate gang attacks your colony, and you see for the first time, how your species live, and act. And after they kill most of the local populace - including your "parents" - you don't want to do anything with them. As do they, as they see that you're completely different from them. After you escape your captors, you manage to get to the Citadel, and you still won't find a friendly face. You are just another Vorcha for them. So what will you do next? Just go with the flow?

!!!The next option is only available to you, if you manage to get the quarians and the geth to work togather as allies.!!!

Quarian:
You are living on Rannoch, where the geth helped you rebuild, and re-adapt. (so no need for evironment suits there) There's a geth, who "lives" at your place, helping you with your immune system, and with your everyday work. You are pretty good buddies. And then, at one day, a huge EMP explosion happens in the vicinity, wiping out every geth unit in the area. Only your "friend" survives, by saving itself in your suits systems/your implants. (this could make some interesting conversations, especially if you are the only one who can hear this geth). This explosion affect you very deeply, and you'll learn, that this is not just an isolated incident. So you start to investigate.


And this is how your characters fit into the plot. I know it would be trmendous work to get them all fully voiced, so I wouldn't mind a DA:O like voiceless protagonist. The only important thins is the great story here. Or they could invest as much money into it, as into SWTOR, but seeing the - justifiable -  negative feedback after ME3, I don't think they will.

So what do you all think of this? I hope the BW devs will think of something like this, where we could play as - mostly - any species.

Actually, I was going to say more like 'Elite' but, you know, that's probably a good description for EVE online anyway.

Not bad origin ideas
I have one on the mass effect 4 story
5 years after the war with the reapers the galaxy has lost all contact with each other when the mass relays were disabled
And all were searching for the normandy and its commander to bring them home. Suddenly one mass effect relay activate it's jump coordinates unknown but seeing this one chance to survey the lost planets and find the Normandy the galaxy sends its best people to take one ship through the mass relay and into the unknown regions
Players can chose to any of the races that survived the war. The humans, quarians, turians, krogen, Asari, baterians, drell and selerians, each with a unique origin that is based on the 3rd game choices
Ex. The human character if Shepard romanced Tali and stayed faithful to her through the game can be their son.

Ok  this  has  has a few  key  Figures thats an issue

1 "every Asari is a biotic at birth  no matter who the father species is  they are also a Mono gendered race as liara clearly states that "sex"  as we  humanity have here on earth has no meaning for them "   We humans are the ones you are clearly thinking of  Read the codex Entries   on humanity in ME1 hun   as you stated  in it about  being ina ship and a bomb crippling it whle you "as an unborn child" getting exposed to Eezo when you are already    a biotic that will not work for Asari  Major issue  with that.

2  "quarians" 
Geth  Specifcially Adapt their Shields  for warfare  and EMP  that will never happen even tho they are Agricultural units created by the quarians themselves   and yes i know of the immune system so that works

this one really bugs me  While i like DA series  i don't like Silent characters  let alone the antagonist    Even the elderscrolls  i personally don't like because of this Same reason Despite the fact that  in skyrim you got shots but thats not the same thing as actual speaking.
put bluntly Like DAO  if you put Voices in them Please use FULL   Voice  in every   one you put in not "combat not shouts" those wount  work has to be full  convo that me3 has.


Salarians   now this one has another  issue "Krogans and Humans" Don't have any    hatred towards one another   your thinking of  the Salarians and the Turians  both  of those two started and ended  the krogan rebellions long before we learned and "started the first contact war"  with the Turians   up after that  Humanity had hired a Turian General to teach them about biotics and how to use it without hurting themesleves   later on implants wer designed for humans as well .
you may want to fix the three i mentioned


as for DA Style  no  hell effin no  Mass effect from Day 1 of its debut has and always will be  a talking   game thats a thousand times better than DA   game style  if  i even see one key aspect in this that relates  or is/was part of DA  i will litteray go down to their   building  and throw a big boulder through their window  with  a note on it  explaining the hatred for them  signed by the fans themeselves that actually knows  how Sloppy Me3 was    Honestly  Me3  is worse than me2   compared on story line.

hell if i wanted to compare a game that was a bit better than me3?  COD Mw3   Ghost recon future soldier  Tom Clancies Rainbow six   vegas 1-2  i could name allot better games that had a sleezy  story line but was slightly better than this game.

but hell i  give them the benefit of the doubt  if they  so much as bring a single  DA  dev   thats what will happen i litterally will fly  world wide getting   signatures from every fan   who was hurt by ME3  and break their  window  with the same letters and  signatures  Attached to it  and hold a riot outside their offices.

Yes  im putting my foot down   honestly if you want to ruin bioware/ea that bad Tell them to  copy a crappy game  and do the same thing that they did  that Caused the  Company to file for bankruptcy and go out of buisness.

Ex. The human character if Shepard romanced Tali and stayed faithful to her through the game can be their son.

if its with Tali Technically the Kid wouldn't be human  fully   "not a pure blood" the child would be a mix breed of human and Quarian .

Same said if you Romance Garrus you'd have a crossed species  baby  Liara   obvious you'd have an asari like Daughter  but still having Human traits. but also asari as well..   tho i actually Agree i said prety much the same thing on page 1 about it being an  offspring of your LI "love interest"  tho   Traynor and  Kelly chambers   that be interesting if your a female and you  LI  them   they'd have to  say that  you and said  LI adopted  or had in vetro or  W/e   that would be a first for the franchise tho if they did that  even tho it kinda reminds me of  a mini porno with the  LI scenes but honestly idm it  makes it unique 

but i agree with you completely.

[Prime24601]

For anyone that notices the age of the human then I shall add this
Cerberus before they revived Shepard could have had a secret project on mixing alien DNA with human DNA to increase the human population. Their first experiment mixing shepard and tali's blood together during the hunt for saren which created the human child.
Cerberus then used a prototype aging formula on the subject which sped his growth, but at a cost
The formula triggered sections of his quarian DNA which mutated his right arm and his legs from the foot to the knees into quarian form which horrified the scientists to shutting down the project at once.
The subject escaped and hid in a region far away from Cerberus control where he relalised that his blood could remember every memory of his parents life but sadly understood that he had not many memories of his own.
Taking it oppon himself to try to find his own honor he joined the alliance keeping his last name a secret and hiding his quarian limbs from others afraid of being registered as a genetic freak. He baca me a captain of a small alliance ship but never tried to open up on his past with others let alone find his parents to whom he always wished would understand.
When the relay activates, he enlists he crew to join the rescue team for the Normandy which is where mass effect 4 starts.

Yea i remember reading that  its good which is why i agreed with your idea  i had to re read it again  cause i didn't understand it fully >_< so sorry for my "non human"  post.

But probably not as a son
Any ideas?

[justafan]

Prime24601 wrote...

I'm thinking about a drell origin that changes if femshep romanced thane or not
But probably not as a son
Any ideas?

I'll play the Origins game.  Here are a few.  Just consider this an add on to my previous idea.  (Remember, this game will take place at least a few decades after ME3, if not a century or two)

Asari:  Start:  classified:  Things changed after the Reaper War.  The citizens of the Galaxy were already looking for a scapegoat for the war, and the reveal of the Athame Beacon came at the worste time for the Asari.  The resulting backlash toppled the current Matriarch regime, and allowed more forceful Asari to take leadership positions and move the Asari farther away from the separate democracies into a much more central and federal system.  

One such Asari to gain immense power in this time of crisis was Matriarch Aethyta.  Her suggestions to train Asari in military matters early and to understand the relays were considered prophetic following the reaper war, thus allowing her to take charge of the deteriorating climate of Asari politics.  As a result, the player character starts as a young asari huntress on a mission to foil Krogan terrorists. The mission ends with disaster, when the huntress squad realizes that they underestimated the size and armament of the Krogan.  As a result, most of the squad is killed, and they all would have died had it not been for the heroics of the player character.  As a result, they player character is contacted by a Matriarch and informed they are to be sent to the Citadel for SpecTRe training.  They are also given a mission to find out how the Krogan got so well armed and how Asari intelligence could have failed so spectacularly.

Import Notes:  If an import, then Liara's voice will make a cameo as part of Asari intelligence before the mission.  Matriarch Aethyta will eventually also have unique dialogue about her daughter and Commander Shepard depending on whether or not Shepard and Liara were LI. Further, Liara will have a role later in the story.


Quarian: Start: Arvuna:  Following the war with the Reapers, the Quarians regained many of their lost worlds and began an effort to recolonize them.  You start on Arvuna (aka. firebase hydra) at a Quarian military academy near a strategic power relay.  This is a training area for Quarian special forces candidates, and ever since regaining Council status, prospective SpecTRe candidates.  

The Quarians are in dire need of trained operatives, as they now have more colonies than they can populate, and more territory than their small population can defend.  As a result, piracy is especially rampant and there is little they can do about it.  Cue the pirate attack on the academy

Your origin mission would be to repel the well invaders and protect the power relay.  During the mission, you would witness the pirates using advanced citadel space-grade weapons and making short work of the security forces until you are finally able to push them back when reinforcements arrive.  

After the assault, the commander of the academy assigns you to the Spectre fast-track and sends you to the Citadel.  While there you are ordered to complete your training, but given a secret assignment to find out how these pirates got so well armed and bold enough to attack a Quarian military base.

Import Notes:  If Geth are alive, you meet a representative of the consensus at the academy and learn a little about their improved relations with the Quarians, allowing the player to voice their view ont he subject.  However, Geth enemies would also be amongst the pirates, thus adding to the mystery and bringing up the questions about how they adapting to individuality.  If you are a biotic, you also gain special dialogue about how this is a rare occurance among Quarians.  Obviously, if the Quarians died above Rannoch, this origin is not available Alternitivly, it is revealed that the admirals left a few ships outside of Rannoch just in case they lost, and Arvuna was a gift from the humans for Tali's help in ME1 and the only Quarian world.  As a result, you would experience much more severe racism in this playthrough as opposed to one where they survived Rannoch.


And since you requested it

Drell: Start: Kahje:  Kahje was devastated by the Reaper War.  Despite repelling an initial reaper force, the Hanar were unable to stop a second wave of invaders, and the reapers made short work of their lightly guarded defenses.  In response to this, the Illuminated Primacy encouraged even more Drell children to be conscipted into military duties in accordance with the compact.  The game will begin with the player character, already a trained assassin, visiting Kahje to meet with their only surviving parent (the other having succumbed to Keprals syndrome) for the first time since starting training.  Their parent has arranged for them to attend a Hanar gala in the capital where one of the leaders of the Illumacy is hosting.

Unfortunately, soon after they arrive, the gala is attacked by would-be assassins.  It is only by the sheer skill of the player character's assassin skills that they are able to beat back the agressors and save the Hanar's life.  As thanks, the Hanar offers to send the player character to the Citadel, to represent the Illumacy as a Spectre.  On the way to the citadel, the drell is informed that they are to also look into the assassination, as further investigation revealed that the group responsible is suspected in other cases of high-profile assassinations.

Import Notes:  Depending on how far into the future ME4 is set, if the player imports a playthrough where Thane was romanced, the PC's father is either an elderly Kolyat or his son, but in either case, the PC will be revealed to be a Krios.  The father will explain in dialogue how Kolyat was with Shepard and Thane when he died, and it inspired him to start a family of his own, which will eventually lead to the player's drell.  If this is not the case, then the player's father will be a new character, and possibly die in the origin story thus fueling his child's anger.

I think playing through any of the previous wars would be amazing for anyone who wants to dive into more ME lore. Unfortunately, that means reverting to older tech, and probably less-refined biotic abilities. So all the new guns and powers we've come to love, gone. They'd have to reinvent a whole new slate of more primitive weapons.

Based on the quote "don't delete your ME3 saves", ME4 HAS to take place during or after ME3. Possibly during the entire trilogy, reflecting/enhancing the choices we've made by putting new characters through the consequences of Shepard's choices.

Assuming they pick a cannon ending though, I can still see some possibilities. Without the relays being rebuilt, I could see a ton of Battlestar Gallactica scenarios. Everyone just tries to go to their home worlds/home colonies, but has to deal with ship politics. Maybe indoctrinated people are still brainwashed, trying to carry out sabotage orders they never finished. They could believe the Reapers are coming back, and still want to serve them as best they can. These individuals could still cause a lot of damage.


::::::::::::::SPOILERS FOR LEVIATHAN DLC::::::::::::::::::::::::

And here's something I haven't heard yet, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought about it. (Although the Control Ending would nullify this) Leviathans are still alive, and now their only formidable enemy has been destroyed. The Reapers KEPT LEVIATHANS IN CHECK FOR A REASON. Now the first apex race can stand supreme once more.

What better enemy to top the Reapers than the race that built them? There's no super-weapon to wipe them out like the Reapers. So no matter how many are left, this is actually a more desperate situation, if Leviathan do choose to enslave all life like they have before.

[ilego]

As long as quarians are there as a LI I don't care

[Prime24601]

Perhaps but if the reapers built the relays then it would ironic for leviathan to be near a relay waiting to activate it or they might have a giant ship that dwarfs reapers

5 years after the war with the reapers the galaxy has lost all contact with each other when the mass relays were

disabled
And all were searching for the normandy and its commander to bring them home. Suddenly one mass effect relay

activate it's jump coordinates unknown but seeing this one chance to survey the lost planets and find the Normandy

the galaxy sends its best people to take one ship through the mass relay and into the unknown regions
Players can chose to any of the races that survived the war. The humans, quarians, turians, krogen, Asari,

baterians, drell and selerians, each with a unique origin that is based on the 3rd game choices
Ex. The human character if Shepard romanced Tali and stayed faithful to her through the game can be their son.

if its with Tali Technically the Kid wouldn't be human  fully   "not a pure blood" the child would be a mix breed

of human and Quarian .

Same said if you Romance Garrus you'd have a crossed species  baby  Liara   obvious you'd have an asari like

Daughter  but still having Human traits. but also asari as well..   tho i actually Agree i said prety much the

same thing on page 1 about it being an  offspring of your LI "love interest"  tho   Traynor and  Kelly chambers  

that be interesting if your a female and you  LI  them   they'd have to  say that  you and said  LI adopted  or

had in vetro or  W/e   that would be a first for the franchise tho if they did that  even tho it kinda reminds me

of  a mini porno with the  LI scenes but honestly idm it  makes it unique 

but i agree with you completely.

I like the idea of an offspring but i cant see it being anyway prosible. Why? Because for these esample. With Malshep, I wasnt able do the romance with Ashley, because i missed a part or iv done something wrong. And also you could send her and kaidan to admiral Hackett's crew. Or if you want, you could make Malshep romance with Cortez.
Same thing with Femshep. You could make her romance with with vega or traynor.. ever way, femshep needs to be pregnant (obversely not with traynor) between the time period after the collector base and before the attack which was only 6 months (if i remember correctly).

Im not trying to be negative, im just trying to be realistic.

The purpose, the idea, the foundation of Mass Effect IS the Multi Interaction.

Now they'll HAVE to pick a canon ending.

Anyways, they should use the old "dark energy" plot discontinued for ME3. The new trilogy will focus on the eezo

problem.

That not bad. What they could do is to use Harbinger.. To me, i could only see Harbinger controlling the

Collectors. Not the Catalyst...

I've always wanted a series of smaller games about your squadmates' backstories. Like, you can play as Thane and do assassinations, lead a quarian squad as Tali, run around the galaxy causing havoc as Jack, etc.

Mass Effect 4 what will you be? A sequel, a prequel or maybe a game that runs along the same time line as the first three games. I personally have a few ideas for it, like every other gamer has about their favorite franchise.

The idea of a prequel is a dangerous if done right it would be a great thing or it could be handle like Star Wars and be bit of a dark spot on the franchise history. On the other hand I’d like to see a game take place during the Pre-Human age, The Rachni Wars, Krogan Rebellions or when the Humans started to emerge in First Contact War. Along the lines of a prequel my personal favorite idea would be a game that takes place around the events of the novel Revelation. I feel a deeper look into the Saren corruption and Anderson’s bid to be the first Human Spectre would make for a great interactive story.

A Straight up Sequel would be my first choice out of all the options out there. I know it would be a little odd playing a full length Mass effect game without Shepard, but a Universe that has been through such a devastating war would be a great setting. Considering the outcome you had in ME3 it would make for great plot points. For example with the greatest threat that has ever faced this galaxy eradicated would the unity that Commander Shepard brought splinter, would the absence of power among so many different races cause new criminals to rise that would threaten the galaxy all over again. That is a scenario that would make for a blockbuster game.

Commander Shepard is the greatest hero that this galaxy has ever seen, but he was not the only one that had great adventure during the years before the Reaper invasion. Maybe a game that ran along side of the first three games would also be a good area to explore.

When everything is said and done I hope to see a straight sequel to Mass effect 3, but any Mass Effect is better than no Mass Effect, right?

I would like a game that runs along the original trilogy and then expands years after the war. Maybe we could have a character that starts of as a thief like Kasumi and later forms a mercenary group or something like that. The character becomes important after the war and helps with trying to set up a new council or helps the current council.

The idea of a game of something happening on the side of the mass effect games sounds like dragon age 2

[Prime24601]

I am having trouble with my game idea on the romance options on the ship
Since the ship is a united alien force to help search the galaxy for survivors of the Normandy and the lost worlds, I thought that you could pick one of the races as your player so you could be a fully customized quarian or drell in red skin (unlikely) and that meant that the other characters that could be the player would be companions with unique origin stories like the Tali and Shepard idea I had.
But I only seem to have an idea of romance between a female quarian and a male human with the Tali origin story giving him a chance to not hate his genetic mutation

I completely agree with you on Anderson becoming a Spectre. But about the first prequel would start as the First Contact with Anderson, and then him becoming a spectre.

but i feel it is not completely a Multi Interaction. meaning there should be also a female character to choose from. otherwise it is going to be another GTA, one character and one story line to follow.

just other thought poped up in my head, following up with female character problem. if they choose this, they could or might have male-character doing one story crisscrossing with the fem-character story......... kind of like "devil may cry 2" where Dante was on disc one and Lucia was on disc two. im NOT suggesting this, but can you see my point im trying to make??

Making a story is really difficult.
