Kind of an interesting answer. Rather clear "no more Shep, his trilogy is done", but the part about being able to imagine some other choices going forward definitely raises an eyebrow. Seems like they're still in the process of deciding the basics of ME4.

It's interesting though that Mac doesn't outright rule it out and talks about choices going forward. COuld they be really seriously thinking about making ME4 a sequel?

And I guess they wouldn't really need to use save games even if ME4 is a sequel. If they move on further in time like 2000 years, then there would be only a handful of choices with that long-lasting consequences (endings, Genophage, Rachni, Rannoch). Establishing these could be done in-game without save-transferring (like Miranda asks us who did we pick as the Human Councilour at the beginning of ME2)

I will just say be real. Bioware couldn't pull of choice in this trilogy. Don't expect Bioware to honor all the choices in ME4. Expect alot of recons, cutting and marginalizing.

[Dr_Extrem]

this is one step away from .. "shepard could be part of me4" ...bioware relativises its previous statments. have they ever ruled that possibility out? 

wait and see


i only believe it, if i see it ingame. ...

(personal note) but it is doubtfull, that i buy another me-game in the first place.

Doubt it very much. Even if this super-vague interview, Mac is clear that at least when it comes to Shep, it's over

[Clayless]

Depending on how far into the future they set it, Liara and Grunt could be there, and definately EDI.

So basically Shepard dies at the end of ME3. Pfft. We figured that out. Look at the size of the explosion. They'll have to go 10000 years in the future unless they pick synthesis as the canon because it's a wasteland, unless they do the retcon from hell.

Like if it goes 2000 yrs in the future, will I really care who I chose as councilor in 2183? No. Will I really care if I cured the genophage? No. The rachni? No. Rannoch? No. Will I care if I blew up earth? Probably. I may want to go back and do that for the LOLz.

That would be a fun play.... destroy the Geth, destroy the rachni, don't cure the genophage, slap together the crucible. blow up earth. Use that import. I'm not really interested at this point. Not unless it's Shepard.

I'm done with the series. Bury it.

Yep, any references to the Mass Effect trilogy is bound to either be "Shepard stopped the Reapers from killing us all" or some kind of really general stuff.  Kind of like the original Dragon Age's impact on Dragon Age II.

True, but it's just 3 characters. We don't HAVE to meet them/have them be involved in the new trilogy. Frankly, with a new player character, it could be actually bad if we met them, another case of "small galaxy"

[spirosz]

I'd rather they just start fresh and make it something they enjoy and not make it seem like something "they want to get out of the way" vibe I saw. The whole transfer over system brings too many complications IMO, I'd rather they just make something canon and go from there.

like i posted .. wait and see.

me4 is in the very early stages of production and one thing is certain .. it me4 does not deliver, they will most likely bring shepard back.

i remember how good hawke was recieved by the community.


but this is more wild speculation ...


wait and see.

or do something completely new ... a new mass effect will bring problems .. even without shepard. me3 was made to end mass effect as a whole. now they are trying to pull of an immelmann. i have a bad feeling about this. suddenly i have to think of command & conquer 4.

agree

I'll only accept a canon story if it matches up with my story

They already retconned the wasteland. Shepard's fate is open-ended. If it's ten thousand years in the future, will history care if he settled down on Rannoch, Palaven, or Thessia after the war?

Which species survive, which go extinct, and the color of the explosion are basically the only permanent changes going into the far future. If they do a sequel, I for one DON'T want to see any of our current squadmates - even the long-living ones. It'll just lead to people prying them about what happened to Shepard, and we're supposed to imagine that for ourselves. I think he lives. I know there are a lot of negative people out there, but that's what I believe. I don't need any future content stepping on that.

Low-EMS imports would probably be ignored, like ME2's "Shepard Dies" ending.

They've been clear. No more Shepard. And I agree - I think it's time for them to let the series go.

SHEPARD!

WREX!!!

I Also don't think it would be necessary to import a save game, just like you said Isaac, the big important choices could be made ingame.Setting the game about 1.000 years after ME3 would pretty much fix this.

Unless bioware wants to put a giant Shepard statue in the middle of the presidium...hehe

Too late for that, it's become one of EA's flagship franchises, the only thing you can do is hope that ME4 delivers because it WILL come out

I probably just won't get it. By that time, I doubt my PC would be able to run it anyway.

[Steelcan]

It'll probably be next gen so unless they make it in game I don't see our choices being imported

[mass perfection]

It ain't like it'll matter.I wouldn't be surprised if the only thing our ending choice added to the next game only added an extra line of dialogue.

Only difference Synthesis makes=GREEEEEN!!!! "Tell me what you know about Synthesis"

Only difference Control makes="Tell me what you know about the Shepalyst"

Only difference Destroy makes="Tell me what you know about that tube"

By the time it will come out, you will probably have a new PC/laptop or PS4/Xbox 720. Given how early in development they seem to be, I don't expect ME4 to come out earlier than 2015.

They would pobably have that statue be just giant N7 logo

[Thrazesul]

Noooo, please no saves. Please not a game where they have to make a ending choice in ME3 canon! That's not gonna end well! >.<
