I know Bioware can do it. I know it will make many fans happy. People can play any species with a costume character creator something like The Elder Scrools and Mass Effect Multiplsyer.

I personally will love to play an Asari because I love Asari. I also like Turian, some other species too. Please make it happen for future games.

I dun want to be a tentacle head.

Ten different voice actor would almost certainly cause much, much, much lower quality voicework.

[Zakuspec089]

They could just do it with a few it can't be that hard. When I mean any species I'm meaning like from Human to Asari, Turian or the Geth like that. I personally don't want to play another Human.

...Playing as an alien is a lot harder than it sounds.

If the culture and society is too foreign, it won't make any sense to players and the interactions between characters won't be very meaningful. (Not only that, writing an entire culture from scratch without falling too heavily into 'elf-dwarf-orc' molds is incredibly difficult, often tedious, and rarely successful. One of the most difficult parts is writing elements that are exotic enough to be alien yet plausible given the setting and culture.)

If it's too familiar, the aliens stop feelings like aliens and just feel like humans painted blue. That kills immersion and causes plot issues.

Yeah, it would be hard.

I would probably pick my race/class using the same strategy I did with The Old Republic. As in, find the character voiced by Jennifer Hale (or Mark Meer if applicable) and pretend I'm playing as Shepard Reincarnated.

Just have Jennifer Hale do the voices. All of them -.-

Not only that but adding so many races and genders to choose from would most definitely stretch their time and resources a bit thin. Honestly if playing as a human only meant a better quality story overall, then i'd much prefer that. Granted they achieved the whole race and origin thing with DA:O, but then was Old School Bioware. Back when they didn't have EA breathing on their shoulders, repeatedly nudging them on the back ever 5 seconds saying "is it done? is it done? is it done? hurry up. hurry up. hurry up. come on. come on. come on."

Batarian or bust.

I want to be a Krogan Engineer.

Given the shift to human only in the Dragon Age Franchise, I doubt very much that they'll have anything other than human only in Mass Effect 3.

If we were to get a different species I expect we would be stuck as say turian only for the game.

The reason I believe has already been mentioned in the thread, voice work. Games seem to require a fully voiced protagonist these days, something for me that isn't required.

I never felt let down in Dragon Age: Origins that the Warden didn't have a voice. I wouldn't feel let down in Mass Effect 4 if the new character didn't have a voice if it let me have the option of playing as more species.

If there were more than one race, which I doubt, my guess is that only one or two aside from human woud be even remotely plausible from a resource and budget standpoint.

[Constant Motion]

I would do it like Dragon Age: Origins. Three different races, options something like...

Salarian (M) - Engineer, Infiltrator, Soldier
Asari (F) - Adept, Vanguard, Sentinel
Turian (M / F) - Infiltrator, Vanguard, Soldier, Sentinel

Each starts from their own place, (not necessarily their home planet, they're all military,) but the end result is that they're all inducted into the Spectres. It'll mean different people will react to them differently, and it'll open up different storytelling options depending on who you play as, but all three are council races, all three are known to produce Spectres, and all three are basically tolerated throughout the galaxy.

Also, you can just apply a filter to the asari's voice to make a turian female. Don't know if it'd work for a salarian, though - but that'd make it three voice actors, rather than four.

Why ten different Voice actors?

Male and female VA, with filters for turian and batarian and krogan, similar to how the radios and masks have filters. Problem solved.

I like this, want this. Except for the lock out on classes; it'd be better to just give each species a bonus in a single specialty field (tech, combat, biotics) and maybe an easier time unlocking further specializations later.

[element eater]

itd be the dream to play as an alien in ME i realy hope they can make it happen

although i doubt its likelyhood

[Zakuspec089]

I think people need to stop being kinda negative on the idea. I'm done with playing Human in Mass Effect. I think it wouldn't be the same. I wished we could play any species, any gender and build our own squad as well.

The game still couple years away it can be done. I too enjoy playing Female mainly then male. There races I really want to try and play in Singleplayer instead of multiplayer. They already have the resources as well.

[P_sutherland]

uhh some form of Mass Effect MMO ? (set during the reaper invasion) so we can avoid the sequel/prequel warzones... then walaaa... pick a species.. get a gun... go defend/evacuate X planet.

Go. To. Hell.

[Zakuspec089]

They should include this feature in Mass Effect 4. No to MMO.

I think it be great because there be so many replay value and interesting stories with different species. It also be better then playing a Human, if it were a Human it wouldn't feel the same.

[Revenant147]

No, why would I want them to sacrifice resources for something I won't even use. Human only for me.

Every game have Human. It be nice if we could play any species. Also you can play Human it be one of the options also. I personally will love to play another species like Asari, Turian I think many others too.

The boring could just play Human, also it not all about you.

I know it's not, but I'm sure as hell not the only one. But what I'm saying is that they'd be sacrificing quality for quantity, why would any of you want that? To have an aesthetic difference while playing? It's not worth it in my opinion. <_<
