They won't, they will just pick an canon ending and go along with it.

Except for:
- The utter destruction of the Reapers
- Reapers under new management
- Perminant fusion of all organic and synthetic life
So... the bits which actually matter and cause problems for writing a consistant universe there-after.
The Reapers leaving in Scenarios 2 & 3 make it mostly cosistent with Scenario 1.
Perminant fusion of all organic and synthetic life is barely explained, I say give a new biotic abilty or something and make AI character more friendly, the after glow can fade or be an optional choice
So you support trivializing this massively important decision?
You're BioWare's target audience.

Different ending states is what they had: even before the EC the implications for Control/Destroy/Synthesis were aapparent, and the various Big Decisions still existed. People just trivealized the difference in states due to a lack of distinction between the endings (which was resolved by the introduction of the Epilogues).CronoDragoon wrote...

Well, most people one Bioware would say that it was 1 ending, with 19 different epilogue pieces. But an 'ending state' often gets confused with 'endings', and so...
I'm inclined to believe that what people wanted was 1. visual confirmation during Priority Earth of the choices you made (short scene of Rachni, etc) and short scenes that played highlighting the different states of the galaxy/characters. Which means that I believe people were not really after unique endings in the way that Control/Destroy/Synthesis are unique but rather unique meaning personalized. In short, I believe what people wanted were different ending states.

To call the next game Mass Effect 4 or ME4 is doing it a disservice and seems to cause a lot of confusion here. We have already said that the Commander Shepard trilogy is over and that the next game will not feature him/her. That is the only detail you have on the game. I see people saying "well, they'll have to pick a canon ending". No, because the game does not have to come after. Or before. Or off to the side. Or with characters you know. Or yaddayaddayadda. Wherever, whenever, whoever, etc will all be revealed years down the road when we actually start talking about it.
I do not call the game ME4 when I talk about it ever, bucause that makes people think of it more as "what happens after Mass Effect 3" rather than "what game happens next set in the Mass Effect Universe", which is far more accurate at this point. Obviously fans are going to speculate content, character and story until we actually reveal details in the years or months to come as you have almost no actual details, just don't get bogged down in "well how are they going to continue ME3...".

Well, this is terribly exciting: the expansion of something already so vast. I'm so pleased to know that good--great, really--science fiction isn't limited to the tale of a single group of characters. One of the things that always intrigued me was the relative proximity of the ME trilogy as far as dates, seeing as a lot of hard sci-fi/space opera settings are so far-future. The ME setting's closeness to modern day makes expanding the universe--and telling a large number of tales within it--makes the future of BioWare's IP pretty bright. I'm sure--like every BioWare game I've played--it'll be worth waiting for.
I assumed that the next installment would a 'newly cast' opera. I'm more interested in the next DLC,as it effect the mass effect in realtime. Chris won't comment on that tho..reapers'd get'em..lol
edit: the stargazer scene promotes DLC, not ME#.. imo

It sounds like it would be a disservice to call the next game Mass Effect.

Well the options are rather limited, unless the next game bearing Mass Effect in its title is a part of the series in spirit only.
A prequel isn't a popular idea, and a sequel would be hard to do for obvious reasons.
But maybe that's just it, the next will be connected to Shepard's story by the words, Mass and Effect and in no other way.
at the end of Chriss' post?
. Which is why a prequel would be the better choice, but interest is lacking in that department, understandably.JadeShepard wrote...
lol I see what you did there ...
It just feels like that if it's a sequel, they have to choose an ending because the choices are so epic in scope and meaning. It changes the entire galaxy.

I still want the Mass Effect games to end with Shepard (no ambiguity would be nice, but I think that ship has sailed), but I imagine I'm in the hella minority tbh.
