A parallel story spanning the period of Mass Effect 1,2,3 and post-ending. The story would be dependant on the choices you made during Mass Effect 1,2 and 3.

I'd go with this, except it would start about halfway through ME3.  There would be a greater focus on character customization, but the character themselves would be more specific, with the "background options" being replaced with specific character options.

A sandbox game on the citadel? Doesn't seem so bad actually.

Freedom is all I ask for.

[Zuzu Mumu]

giving complete control as in "here you have only 3 choices and none of them is what you want" ?

[Crash Land]

I'd just make it a full-blown dating sim since that's what Mass Effect became anyway.

Have the beam/explosion either be, or mask Shepard's transportation through the mass relay network to a relay on the outer rim of the galaxy that then fires him to the Andromada galaxy where they also have a Reaper problem. And then let us actually fight them on account that Andromada spent a cycle building up a war machine and weapon's to battle them. (think of it as the battle we never got to fight or see that the reject ending's stargazer scene alluded to).

By my reckoning it would take the Reapers 50 cycles to reach that galaxy. Whereby they could have built extra galactic relay's to link galaxies to each other.

I'm terrible at making stories, so I'll just to talk about gameplay.

Firstly, I'd roll the conversation system back to what we had in ME2. That was perfect IMO. Same goes for the Journal and quest progress updates.

Secondly, controller support for the PC version. I almost bought the trilogy for PC, but the lack of controller support discouraged me from doing so.

Next, I'd add the ability to switch which squad mate you're controlling on the fly, allowing you to experience a myriad of classes in one playthrough.. Ofcourse, even if your squad members are the same class as you, they should have many distinguishing powers. Being a fan of MP from the start, I have full confidence BW would be able to do this.

New powers and possibly new classes as well.

More modes for MP. Map and enemy filtering as well for random settings.

Shouldn't this thread be in a "Spoilers allowed" section?
Anyway, what I would like the next Mass Effect game to be is a Reboot

My reboot plan:
1) Leave the entire franchise buried for 5 or 10 years. No new titles of
any kind. Better yet, wait for the next generation of consoles.
2) Assemble a totally new writing and direction team.
3) Plan ahead the entire new trilogy (or pentalogy, or saga...), avoiding stupid leaks.
4) Start the new saga with a remake of Mass Effect 1.
5) Deviate from ME2 and ME3. Make the Collectors and Cerberus a lesser
threat and make a new plot for the ending chapter of the saga.

Things I don't want to see in the new saga:
- The CatalyStalin or anything controlling the Reapers.
- The Crucible or any miraculous weapon popping out of nothing.
- Dark Energy stuff.
- DLCs, Add-ons, Collector's edition, exclusive content or any other crap like that. All players deserve the same game.
- Shepard dying, unless in a "Critical Mission Failure" or in a deserved bad ending like in ME2.
- Synthesis or Control endings. They just don't fit.
- Poorly handled romances like Thane, Jacob, Kelly, or charcters throwing themsleves into Shepard like Kaidan in ME3.
- Forced deaths of squadmates or ex-squadmates.

TL;DR:
Wait 5-10 years, give us a time, find better wrtiters, plan ahead, remove the bad things from the old series, bring back the good ones and start a new saga with a remake of ME1.

I honestly would love to see a version of the first contact war but not as a prequel. I would love to play a race making its first contact with our galaxy. You can do in the context of a bigger problem. Maybe it is a race that is being chased by something and simply looking for a new place to settle. You can play back room politics and have them make deals with the Krogan to support their continued expansion in return for under the table help. You could play the person responsible for creating alliances and laying the ground work for a larger invasion. In this way it would not so much ME4 but still a ME game.

OK if I link to this over in the ME4 Fears thread?

Ok, no problem. ☺

I don't really have specifics on story or characters, but this is what I'd do:
ME4 takes place during the original trilogy. ME4 reads your ME3 save and applies your Shepard's actions to the galaxy of the new story. So, essentially, your Shepard's story is going on at the same time as the new story. Kinda get my drift?

[FlamingBoy]

I would create mass effect 3 as it should have been, and hopefully find the closure to this mess

[IntelligentME3Fanboy]

 an FPS, maybe about the first contact war,with a singler player 6-8 hours.Focus on multiplayer

  The groundwork is already laid for the next villain, the leviathans will only thrive again without the reapers at large in the galaxy. I would not want to see the game set too far into the future though, I kinda want to see a ravaged mass effect universe, and dealing with the problems that a post war time period entails. Make the game a throwback to dragon age 1, let us pick the race we play as, give them each their own starting story on their respective worlds, each dealing with the problems of rebuilding in the wake of chaos and perhaps the return of the leviathans who wish to enslave everyone again. Use this game to expand on the other cultures a bit, humans have had their time in the sun already.

  If it absolutely has to be set some decades or centuries into the future, for the love of all that is good and right, show us some suitless quarians!

I'd make it about PONIES! And there'd be rainbows and cute lil teddybears and and and ponies and...

If I was 100% in charge of ME4, the very first thing I'd do is pass control over to someone who KNEW WHAT THE HECK HE WAS DOING. Because if I was at all capable of making a good story I wouldn't be on the forums talking about it...I'd be basking in my multi-million dollar mansion growing fat off the proceeds of the excellent games I'd already created.

<That THUMP you just heard was every person who's ever worked in the game industry dropping to the floor at the idea you can actually make MONEY by making games....)

New Galaxy. It doesn't have to be set in the past or future as they never had a reaper problem. Open world game with new races including humanoid types.

Plot. The main story depends on what career the player has chosen. For example, if a player chooses to be a space cop type then their main story would be on the hunt for a serial killer who switches bodies. A real evil sob like Johan from Monster or something. If a player chooses a research type job than their main story could be something along the lines of dead space. trapped on board a research vessel, uncovering some dark alien presence and fighting for your life. and so on. Perhaps find a way for the stories to interconnect in some way. The sides missions can be the same for all careers with some career specific side missions to keep the game fresh and replayable.

I would also offer the ability for space combat as well as sending squad member either alone or in teams on other missions to bring in money, gear, etc. That way the player has to think about who would be better suited for the job or they could get killed. Also players would have to think about which teammates would be better to bring along, you didn't bring your engineer squad mate? Well now you have to do something the long way or perhaps not be able to complete all objectives in the mission which could mean less money.

ME4 ?
I look forward to ME5
more galaxies
more war assets
higher EMS ratings
better colors for the endings (red, green and blue was kinda lame)

just trying to make fun of colors
OK, red was smoking hot
I liked it

How do you top a threat as large as the Reapers?

You don't, you contrast. Bring it right back to a far more personal story, with fewer, but deeper, characters. Focus on different things, don't have the entire story driven by a single overbearing enemy.

I like your idea, and this would actually make your choices matter.

[Armass81]

Dont need to top the reapers or go to a new galaxy. A new conflict could be something like in the future the galaxy is in the brink of a civil war, new regimes like Terminus Empire or something. Make it a political thriller with lots of action and intrique.

Canon ending is either destroy or control(where shepard sent the reapers away to darkspace aftey they rebuild and went to sleep), you choose this in the beginning and it gets some minor references. Synthesis is just a "what if" ending, its not canon here. All the races are alive, krogans, quarians, even geth if the were destroyed were rebuild.

ME the second Trilogy

- Choose a race for the main char(Asari, Human, Batarian or Turian, shared voice actors. Batarian will only get male va as there is no fem batarian and asari the female for balance. Batarian and turian voices are filtered,)
- new characters (6-9 per game is a good number)
- handful of new races
- new game mechanics, more rpg back
- many new worlds to explore, at least 6 main locations per game and 12 side locations. 30 small sidequests, some which you open up by exploring the galaxy.
- I guess MP is a must this day and age so that will be included

I want mass effect 4 to be a time travel adeventure to defeat the reapers .where you travel in the past future and present to find a way to destroy reapers .as you travel you meet alternate versions of your favorite characters ,and for the first time male shep and fem shep will come to face to face. team up with other players in there shepards as you try to save your time line and future. see the decisions you and others make that change time lines which will have a mass effect .

[Linkenski]

You would play as a class-based character from one of three or four races. You could be the same classes as in ME Trilogy but i might consider throwing out Sentinel, Engineer or Adept. The game takes place on various planets, but they are split up into several acts, so it feels like a journey when you finally get to the next place.
