Sequel of course. Allow us to rebuild the destroyed world.

Which destroyed world? There's a lot of them.

A story concurrent to ME3.


I thought about that, but any concurrent game would be overshadowed by Shepard's story.

After giving it some thought (and yes, I've given it lots of thought after experiencing that ending), I'd definitely say SEQUEL.  There are too many problems with making a prequel, not the least of which is that it's scale would have to pale in comparison with ME1 - ME3. 

The only real problem Bioware has is being able to account for three "radically" different endings.  I can't see them able to allow an import that alters ME4 in a significant way.  Which basically leaves two options:  hand-pick an ending and base the plot on that or come up with an unsatisfying fix-all that explains why the red, blue and green endings eventually blur into one ending sometime in the future after Shepard's story.  Personally, I don't have a problem with the former.  By all means, pick that ending for yourself Bioware and base your story off it.  We're talking a whole new story with a whole new protagonist.  Let him fight for his own beliefs and for the galaxy in whatever state Shepard supposedly left it in.

Prequel, it's the journey that matters.

What does the journey have to do with a sequel/prequel?

I would prefer a sequel. Not trying to step on anyones toes but I have no interest in going back to any of the wars, its not because I am not interested in them so much as its a matter of we know the outcome of things to be.

With this said though I only see two possible endings becoming canon at this current time (We still need to see what Omega brings)
-Destroy
-Control


So I believe there is two paths Bioware can take...

-IF- Shepard is to survive and become playable, Destroy has to be canonized.


-IF- Shepard is to be mentioned but unplayable & Reapers still around then Control must be canonized.

As long is Super Mac is the lead writer I don't care, as far as I'm concerned its always in your best interest to keep a talent like that around.

Make it after ME3 and canonize the destruction ending. Any other major plot points can either be factored in to the story (a whole ton of work but doable) or written out a bit so they end up in a manageable fashion (Krogan are either in seclusion plotting revenge and hated by all or violently colonizing and still hated by all). It's not perfect but that's how it will have to work. 

Honestly, I would love to see everything going to hell. It creates some nice tension.

A prequel could work but there aren't that many interesting events that happen between the first contact war and ME1. The few events that do happen (FCW, Skyllian Blitz) are short and have very little wiggle room for stories. Sure there could be some interesting behind the scenes stuff going on but in the end, it'll all be the same.

I am afraid of a sequel. There are a couple of huge pitfalls, the obvious one being the ending. The second is trying to compete with Shepard. Granted, you'll run into that no matter what, but making a sequel gives more chance of it.

I just feel like it'd be a better idea to do a prequel, THEN do a sequel. That way enough time will have past that most people no longer are emotionally attached to whatever ending they picked.

Edit: Although if they did continue the endings, synthesis is the only real wrench. Dialogue and encounters with reapers would be rare enough that destroy/control could exist pretty easily with one another.

Quick! Everyone say prequel so then they can do the exact opposite of what we tell them to do. Which means they'll do a sequel!

I want them to keep Shepard for one. So long as they show Shepard, Miranda, and the Normandy (and dead Reapers).


Really? 

You haven't had enough of Shepard at this point? 

No

I have to say i would want a sequel to ME3 not a prequel.

SEQUEL
Set far enough into the future so that it renders the ME3 ending moot.

Sequel please. The First Contact War was barely even a war
There's a reason Turians refer to it as an incident. The only prequel I would probably be somewhat be interested in is one taking place during the Rachni Wars, but that won't happen because you'd have to play as an Asari, Batarian, Krogan, Salarian, or Volus(aka the races known to have been part of citadel space around that era). Being that there's no Humans, they won't bother making a game during the Rachni Wars. Then again, **** doesn't have to be during a conflict but maybe something on a much smaller scale. Still, Sequel would be preferred.

I'd rather have a sequel, but not centuries after the events of ME3. I want the next game to happen a few years after the incident. I would love to see the old squad members coming back for another kind of story.

All i'm doing is asking you to specifically answer the question. You can either harness that unmitigated wit you're brandishing and do it, or continue acting like a fool.

Well Aristotle?

The way people think of the inevitability of Synthesis, they refer to the ending itself. Not the process. For anyone who actually played the game with an RPG view of it and not just an *OMG I WANT TO SHOOT STUFF AND FIGHT BOSSES* view, then you would realize in the world of Mass Effect, synthetic augmentations, even minus Shepard are at large. All Phantoms are augmented for higher mobility. Biotics are a prime example. Omni Tools. The list can go on. The way I see it, it won't be some utopia esque variation people see in the Synthesis ending. It is already known both in ME and real life, that uplifting or trying to tinker with the evolutionary process is futile and always ends badly. Hence why, Synthesis is a terrible option. It is forcing literal evolution, down to the molecular level, onto the entire galaxy when they are not ready for it at all. If Synthesis were inevitable, it wouldn't be in that form, but rather it would be far more gradual and be more steady synthetic augmentations to prolong life span, fight disease, increase physical Mobility, Biotics, etc.

Also, so this doesn't sound so off topic: I would choose a sequel.

I would prefer Shepard to come back, but alas it is a probable chance at best.

I would rather they carry over our choice of ending in the next game. I do want to see what a Synthesis galaxy looks like but not force others if they chose Destroy or Control.

Sequel. Dunno if they are starting from scratch with ME4 or if they'll continue to build on our game imports -- the latter would be pointless for prequels.
