I came up with a few ideas for Mass effect 4 the reason why the reapers harvest cycles. One of the ideas use Indoctrination so be prepared what i will say. Here is the indoctrination definition:

Indoctrination
 noun
the act of indoctrination or teaching or inculcating a doctrine, principle, or ideology, especially one with a specific point of view: reigious indoctrination
 
1. Indoctrination ending: Depends how mass effect 3 ended will have in outcome, depending on your ems on mass effect 3 will determine how Shepard lives or dies. You’re a new character with in the mass effect story that takes place 5 years after mass effect 3. Your mission is that you got from admiral Hackett is to find out what happen to Shepard and crucible. Find out why the reapers are still alive if you can, once after you find out stop the reapers at all cost.
 Destroy: If you chose this Choice Shepard is alive, and he helps you on your final mission
Control: If you chose this choice Shepard is alive, and depending if you help him see the real truth he will either give you some info and then he will kill himself or you have to kill him (final boss)  
 Synthesis: Shepard works for the reapers and you have to kill him (final boss along with harbinger)
 Refuse: Shepard is dead

2. You’re a new character to a new mass effect trilogy that starts 5 years after the events of mass effect 3 and your goal is to stop the leviathans from taking control over every race in the galaxy. Plot twist: The Leviathans have been controlling the reapers the whole time and you have to stop both new reapers and leviathans from taking control of the galaxy and starting the cycles all over again.
 
3. You’re a new character to a new mass effect trilogy that starts 5 years after mass effect 3 and the plot of the new trilogy is that a new race has discovered the mass relays. Plot: you have to stop the new race before a war that includes all races in the galaxy.
 
4. You’re a new Character to a new mass effect trilogy that starts 10 years after mass effect 3. Plot you have to find out and fix the dark energy problem.
 
5. You’re a new character to a new mass effect trilogy thats starts 5 years after mass effect 3. Plot: you have found out where did the keepers come from and how do they still live. Plot twist: The keepers are the creators of the reapers.

These are a few ideas i have for now so thank you for your time and here is a poll for the this thread http://social.biowar...21/polls/41774/

Shepard being a part of the story would take the focus away from the new protagonist I think. I also think that the Leviathans being behind everything would further negate the previous trilogy as it would diminish the Reapers even more than they already have been by ME3. This is merely my opinion though.

Make him the enemy. If he chose destroy instead of helping you, he puts a bullet in his brain. Otherwise you have to fight him.

Maybe it could be a terminus world 5 years after the war. The relays would be destroyed/non-functional and it would take a while in the outlying worlds for the main galactic powers to rebuild them. This would allow new factions to rise up because of the isolation. It could be about warlords taking sections of the galaxy for their own, the conflict of people who want globalization vs. isolationists who want the relays to remain inactive. There is alot of potential in that span of time waiting for the relays to be rebuilt.

 I think the best option here is probably the one where humanity is on the other side of a race discovering a mass relay. In the first contact war they were that race now a new one wants to join the galactic community and possibly upset the balance of power.

but how would another race discover a mass relay if they were destroyed or deactivated?

I dunno.  The ME trilogy already had a very tense interracial relations setting.  I say the next game should mix it up a bit.  I mean, will we have to unite the galaxy AGAIN??  I think the fact that the races were fighting side by side in the Reaper war would have counted for something.  Brotherhood by blood and all that

Instead of races defining allegiances, I think the next game could be more about ideas that separate people.  The trilogy showed us that the non-humans are more "human" than we thought.  They had their jerks and their saints just like us.  The next game should portray a different conflict or it will just seem repetitive.

Plot 4 or 5 is good. However it could not just be 10 years after, should be more like 100 or 1000 years later.

And sadly Bioware has confirmed no more Shepard.

Maybe we can have the Yahg rising up or something?

Actually I like the idea of Yahg being the main antagonists. They certainly fit. As smart as a Salarian? Larger, and tougher than a Krogan? 

I can see how they could cause a Galaxy wide crisis.

I dunno about that.  they would need someone to rebuild their relays for them I would think and as of now they're in quarantine mode, so I don't see that happening

Hmm.. What if there was a (stupid) Organization who wanted to Control the Yahg so they let them out or something? Eh.. I don't really know how it would work. I just think it would be cool to have a main Yahg antagonists.

They're no Reaper/Leviathan, but their species is pretty OP.

True, maaybe... I'm honestly just crossing my fingers and hoping for the League of One from the collection quest in the first game to emerge as the primary antagonists in ME4.  They wouldn't be the intimidating, metallic cuttlefish, but they would definitely be different in terms of their methods and motives.

I forgot all about The League of One. That has the potential to be pretty nice. Are they gonna be lead by the Salarian version of TIM?

Ahh probably not.  Not in the sense that they would be representing Salarians.  They didn't seem to leave the Salarian government on good terms.  No, I think they could even be League of One in name only.  They could have existed in the shadows for so long by not being Salarian exclusive.  They could consist of many races operating together to serve their own goals (whatever those may be)

Mass Effect 4 - If you chose the Destroy Ending then Shepard is alive but barely. He/she is on life support and is basically comatose / all screwed up. You take over the game as the Love Interest and your goal is to find pieces of Cerberus technology to help piece together some kind of Lazurus knock off that could help bring Shepard back. This occupys majority of the game - as well as finding some kind of Prothean Laboratory/Facility (maybe a revisit of Ilos) where you take Shepard for the grande finale of ME4 - implanting him directly with technology from the Protheans or something. It could make for an interesting game while confirming the IT instantly - and making tons of money and basically reinforcing that they care.

Mass Effect 5 - If you did well enough / didn't skimp on the research or the missions / didn't just go through it like a dumb ass, then Shepard is alive and able to return as the playable character. Shepard could at this point go through Ilos and dig through its secrets while being completely cut off from majorty of the galaxy. The Reapers are killing everyone - the Crucible was launched into a relay that connects "Outside" the Milky Way - and Shepard has to find a way to find it. The finale of this ends with Shepard either succeeding or failing during a warp through to the next relay. If you fail - you die - if you don't then you live obviously and the game cuts with Shepard emerging on the other side with the Normandy.

Mass Effect 6 - Final installment, hunt down Reaper technology while in a new galaxy. Find out that there is a way to stop the Reapers but its not exactly what anyone thinks will occur. Shepard has to find a way to help evacuate the entire galaxy in secret to this new galaxy - while using the Crucible as a magnification weapon to increase the black hole in the center of the Milky way - thus basically destroying the entire galaxy and the Reapers with it. The finale could end with Shepard dieing (if you screw around too much / mess up missions and stuff) while defending the Cruicble - or Shepard lives because he/she was smart enough to basically put it on auto pilot through a mass relay RIGGED similarly to the omega 4 relay. He/she could also have one giant battle with TIM as Harbingers minion.

This would conclude the end of the series - reapers are gone - new galaxy to explore - would open room for Shepard / LI to have kids and for a whole new adventure to begin with a new customizable character. To me this is the only possible way to save the franchise and to continue it - what do you guys think.

Leviathans will change the mind and will disagree with what galaxy did. They will find some reasonable (at least for them) excuse. We will fight their army of possessed organics (just as geth fought for Sovereign) and finally we will take it to fight the Leviathans. It is crap, but there is really not much place for plot for ME3 sequel. It just all finished in ME3.

I can see the Leviathans being a antagonist. They're just trouble waiting to happen.

We killed their robo versions, now we gotta beat their organic versions. I don't hate the idea, but I hope not. 

I want ME4 to atleast attempt to move out of the trilogies shadow. That means no more reapers or anything like them.

Retcon of the whole idiotic crucible, catalyst, RGB plot, car wreck of a story. Otherwise: not interested in the slightest.

 I don't know, I have to disagree with this one.  I think a Prequel would Make the most sense. (period)
Its possible and too easy to mess up the story with a sequel.  Start with a prequel, giving Bioware more time to come up with a "great" Sequel.  

A Prequel would already be good because It would lead up to the events of Mass Effect.  My Opinion is to Use David Anderson' Back story (from the books) as a Prequel. THAT would be epic.  Or maybe even the Illusive mans early days. (Awesomness)  OR  go all the way back to just before humanity found the Prothean Artifacts on mars that led to the discovery of the Mass Relays...  Again...(Awesomness) 

There's no need or reason to jump to a Sequel so soon.

i think most of the ideas you came up with might be explained in the mass effect movie. How about prequels like what was it like being a prothean or go all the way back. How did the reapers become what they are in the mass effect trilogy? Think i will leave my plot ideas for another time but i still have a lot more ideas than using IT as cannon.
