With my story the surviving races of the reaper war would continue on in the fourth game 5 years afterwards.
The unique origin story for the human would only happen if Tali and Shepard romanced fully. If the reaper kill button was not activated then male would have stayed hidden on a unknown planet waiting for reapers to kill him, but. They do not come and he is filled with anguish over the painful memories he is experiencing from his parents his fate is unkown

Not a happy ending but then again it is Less sick then the revelation of the mass effect ending

Then another story would happen for a different race. They don't always have to be related to Shepard to have a unique story perhaps a turian was trained by garrus and Shepard for their romance
It's only one idea

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:


Not a prequel. Needs to go with a sequel.

Mass Effect's story has been driven by the mechanic of choice, and consequence.

When ME3 came out, shortly after a developer said we should hang onto our game saves.

To put it bluntly. Mass Effects choice and consequence gameplay mechanic would be rendered impotent by going back in time to a prequel. The only way Mass Effect can continue to embrace, what is for many a major draw of continuing their adventure in their galaxy, is to go forward.

No offense to the idea of the first contact war. But that is water under the bridge. A war happens, but the council stop it before it really starts. And while the idea of war's is a good starting point, these idea's forget to bring in the most important aspect of ME. The characters.

I still hold out for a sequel. Buuuuuuut.

If we do get a prequel. Then give us a character who guided Anderson to be the Admiral he became. Then we get to mold a young Anderson into who he is set to become.

How about you`re an inter-galactic detective, who visits strip clubs, drug caves and weapon factories. Searching for bad guys ofc... You know, James Bond of the Mass Effect universe.

No one has been able to out Bond Bond. However, those who have come close became legends in a different way.

I'm thinking Jack Bauer of the Mass Effect universe.

Before implies prequel or a during the events adventure. After implies a sequel.

Still going with sequel. With no resolution forthcoming to the Reaper story line I'll have to give that honour to ME4 and judge my continued support of the Franchise on it's performance.

Seeing as the Reapers are largely removed as the threat they once were however. A sequel should ask the obvious question.

If the Reapers claimed to be defenders of organics.......... what will we now face having removed their brand of protection from the galaxy?

A prequel would be limited (like all prequels) because we already know how it ends. I vote for ME4 being a sequel. I also really want to see the established canon ending and choices, is the genophage cured, how are the geth doing, etc. Also if it's a sequel, we have between announcement and release to hope that they disregard the ending and make a new one! 

I also want to be able to play as different races. And customize my ship. Vorcha teammate. Varric should show up too.

The Prime Directive wil apply so any movement with the species will have to be done covertly.

One crewmember sitting on the others shoulders holding his arms out with a large hooded traveling clock should offer the anatomity they need while they explore.

You know, i was thinking... ME4 will have to be completely different and most of all, unexpended...
I feel at the time within 5 to 1000 years doest sit well.. i know, it would be great to continue the story but i feel it shouldn't continue from there...
maybe 5000 to 10,000 years after the war.... (maybe with or without evolution)

I can start to see a few storys from here....

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. 

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. 

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.

Oh well, these ideas are really good. I will play ME4 in any meaning, but if we will be able to choose the race and gender, it will be spectacular. Yay, I am so happy right now. :lol:

I have only one idea for a romance in my idea of mass effect 4 that the special human origin character can be romanced by a female quarian giving him a chance to not despise his mutation
Anyone else have some romance ideas

 Hi,
I wrote this hurriedly as I'm working on some science projects for school, so there may be some gramatical mistakes. Please report it in my profile if you spot one. 

Synthesis: The galaxy  has been in a golden ever since the end of the reaper wars, the reapers are still there as a self governing race, they are allies many of the governments in the MW. Wealth is building up and all races are thriving. Piracy and organized crime are at very low levels and there are no problems with the potential to result in conflict. 

Control: Sheperd's mind still controls the reapers and the galaxy has found out that the reapers are sentient being that are somehow being mind controlled by an entity. They entity is of an unprecedented form but scientists have managed to uncover many of it's characteristics. The galaxy doewn't know however that this entity is the reamins of sheaperd. But most demand that the entity sets the reapers free. 

Destroy: (will be added later)



What about another trilogy but not immediately after the
events of ME3. Maybe 80-100 years later with new tech and new weapons and
completely different universes based on the choices you made.

 

At the start of the first game you are a newly appointed commander
of an Alliance ship, which could have a new name or be named Normandy in honor
of the previous Alliance Normandy. At the start you are fighting pirates and
slavers.

 

A new portal technology is emerging with which you can
travel to other galaxies. As this new technology is being developed, a portal
is opened to our galaxy (from another galaxy). Ships of unknown origin enter
the Milky Way. After communication is achieved the Milky Way galactic
civilization realizes that they have encountered a civilization far more
advanced then themselves, soon they also realized that the race that most of
the crew members of the ships are from, was the race that created the catalyst.

 

After the creation of the reapers the aforementioned
civilization which from now on I will call the Mirans, looking for a way to
flee from the reapers, decided to build huge ships capable of housing their
entire race and carrying enough fuel to take them to the nearest galaxy. Their
ships were able of traveling much faster than the ships in the first ME trilogy
but it still took generations before they reached their destination. There they
met an intelligent sentient race, called Drayans, with radio technology, as
well as races that had potential to evolve into intelligent beings. They forced
the Drayans to join with them and form a government that did not allow Drayans
to run for any office in its council or run to be the head of the council. The
Drayans would not have any Miran representative in the council either. At the
same time they stood by and did little to boost the evolution of the species
with potential to become intelligent so as to avoid resistance to their
control. 500 years after these events this relatively new civilization achieved
its first successful portal travel to another Galaxy.  It’s been more than a million years since then
and the Mirans have expanded their rein of tyranny to include many other races.
They have hesitated to become back to the MW (Milky Way) because they weren’t
entirely sure what new technologies,of any, the reapers had at their disposal. (the reapers shut down in dark  space most of the time so they would have a very small emission of electromagnetic waves
and even these would be hard to detect because they would move towards infrared
so they could be mistaken for background cosmic radiation). But after more than a million years they decided to come back.

There is a lot of tension between the MWCG (Milky Way
Galactic Civilization) and the Mirans, because the Mirans want to reclaim the
MW. Obviously the Mirans have the technological edge but most of the species
currently under Miran rule favour the MWGC and very quickly they share their
knowledge and technology with it. As Corp. from the MW move to colonize worlds,
find minerals and (Name of substance used for opening portals )  there is a boom in the wealth of all known
races, but political tensions are building up.

5 years after first contact friction has built
up to the point of a crisis. The Mirans clearly state that they should have
full control of the MW.All the races in the MWCG, now competing with the
Mirans in terms of technology with the help of their new allies, declare that
they will oppose any military, political or economic effort made by the Mirans
with the intention of gaining control of the Milky Way. Immediately afterwards
most of the races under Miran control ask for independence which is met by
heavy Miran opposition. The MWGC pledge their support for these races in
their quest for independence and encourage other races to seek independence.
The Mirans say that this is an act of war and then officially lay claim to the
Milky Way. They demand that all the current governments in the MW step down within
two weeks, or they will take military action. All MWGC governments refuse and
put their military forces on standby. Most of the races that had previously
asked for independence now declare independence from the Miran government and
clearly state that in the event of a conflict they will be on the MWCG’s side.
Less than a week later the Mirans and their allies (not all the races oppose
them) attack major military centres of the MWCG. Less than two hours afterwards
the first attack on a Dalaryan military outpost is reported (Dalarians were
among the races that declared independence), soon all known intelligent races
are at war.

While I think that a sequel would be too hard to pull off, and would either be of substandard quality or would alienate players, I also think 'the wars' isn't the best of ideas for a prequel. We know how all of the wars end, technology in the universe would take a step back, and there would either be no humans or we would be fighting a war that lasted fifteen minutes. I propose a Mid-quel occurring during Shep's years dead taking place in the Terminus systems. The Terminus are vast and lawless enough for actions taken there to not hit the ears of anyone from the main trilogy, which solves any continuity errors of something major happening and no main characters batting an eye. Being in the Terminus systems also means we don't belong to any standard military, meaning we have access to a rag-tag bunch of interesting people for our squad a la ME2.

Otherwise, I would enjoy the idea of having a playable character that can be a multitude of species, as I would personally have a lot of fun with an in depth character creator for alien characters (think of the forum icons!).

Exploration needs to come back as well, preferably with a Mako or something that doesn't have armor constructed of wet tissue paper. I'm not saying we need to be able to go on every terrestrial planet in the game, but a dozen or so locations would be fine with me.

The return of RPG elements would also be nice, however I'm sure everyone has been asking for that. We want to micromanage our gear, making sure we are appropriately outfitted for whatever we are about to face.
