Recently Bioware was batting some ideas around about possibly creating a Mass Effect spinoff, where you play as a previously established character like Garrus, the Illusive Man, or Kai Leng. What are your thoughts on a spinoff, and what do you think the next Mass Effect game should be?

I voted sequel. I'm not interested in a prequel or any game with a predetermined player character (Garrus/TIM/Kai Leng).

I'd also like to see more rpg elements added back in to ME but I think that's not going to happen sadly.

[Sulligy]

Reboot sounds interesting.

Why on earth would I want to play an established character rather than my own?

I somewhat disagree, I could see a Garrus game based on his time as Archangel doing fairly well. I for one would play that game provided that they do it very well like Shadow Broker.

I'd say sequel... far enough into the future that any of the three main endings could in incorporated as back story, much the way War Hero / Colonist is in the current trilogy.

Lets you continue in the world while keeping each player's private canon viable.

Also, the world and races are there, but everyone you know (almost) is dead, so there's no pressure to shoehorn in favorite characters.

My choice would be a new species discovering the Mass Relays and their integration into the ME society.

Sequel. Which will be pretty difficult to do unless set in the far future, then in which, is it even worth it to call it Mass Effect? I like my connections to the current universe.

Prequel and Midquel/Sidequel would be pointless IMO, knowing how the story will turn out and that it will ultimately be pretty meaningless

Why would they need to do a reboot? Or an AU? That would just make Shepard's story seem irrelevant completely.

[Everyone Is Someone]

I want to see a sequel far into the future, like Mass Effect: The Next Generation. All the humans and other short-lived characters are dead, Liara would be at a minimum an elderly matriarch... et cetera. It's time for a new threat and a new story to emerge!

A spin-off in a different game genre (colony-building sim? strategy game? etc.) would be fine contemporaneous to the trilogy, though.

[BigEvil]

I voted sequel, but I wouldn't be adverse to a prequel or sidequel if it was a new character. As much as I might like Garrus and the other characters who could have games of their own, I don't want to play a character which is that set. Not only would that prevent people playing the gender they want, that's a removal of class choice as well, and appearance. No thank you.

[Seishoujyo]

A seboot.

[Lost Mercenary]

A sequel. I want to see the galaxy recovering from the Reaper War and where all the characters I've come to love are now. A sequel would also help expand the consequences of Shepard's final choice. How does a galaxy free of the Reapers move on? How would the Reapers under Sheaprd's control function? How the hell do people react to the utter abomination that Synthesis was? The possibilities for stories port war are endless.

Disagree. We may know how the Reaper conflict ends, roughly, but do we know the end of the dramatic life of Joe Schmuck, budding C-Sec officer looking for promotion and hoping to bust some Citadel drug murderer cannibals? Or whether his Alliance soldier wife will be returning... alive?

A midquel actually sounds pretty interesting. You could use the imports to have events happen around the character. "The quarians have been destroyed," says random bloke... which has drastic impacts on, like, your best pal Thing'majig's life!

A sequel would be best, although other options aren't necessarily bad.
One set in the near-future, where Shepard can still be alive, and the raw aftereffect of Shep's choices and decisions can be felt. Maybe with outright different plot hooks for different galactic frameworks? You know, species living and dying, Shepard's reputation, how much work the N7 Special Ops contributed to the war, Crucible activaton...

We don't need some big, huge antagonist right away, galactic politics can be an enemy all it's own. (Plus, Leviathans, did you discover them or did they blindside you?)

[Suoma]

Prequel - zero sence, we know how it will end.
Sidequel - same story as Prequel.
Spinoff - well it will be intresting to play Aria in her merc days.
Reboot - yeah and now endings will be purple, gray and yellow.
Sequel - hard qustion. its realy difficult to make it good.
Alternate Universe - for me its the best options.

P.S.
Sorry for my bad English

A sequel where Shepard & friends are distant legends, but not in terms of time.Personally, i imagine a sequel at least 150 years in future. A future where the optimism of reconstruction is forgotten and a new hero must face new challenges.

I want a new story line. One that doesn't hinge upon having to make small references to "The Shepard". The Mass Effect universe is enormous and thus far only takes place solely inside the Milky Way galaxy! How about exploring new worlds? New aliens and new threats? There's endless potential here for great characters and amazing stories to tell.

OR: If it must continue within the Milky Way galaxy, I still want a new story to be told. Perhaps it doesn't have to be some giant ancient threat (yet), but maybe we could look at the world remade after the events of Mass Effect 3, years later and we take up the role of a Spectre candidate within two or three playable races that have gone through their origin introductions of training (N7, Asari Commando, Turian Officer, etc.), who then go on to uncover something that will drive the rest of the plot? A conspiracy, an ancient threat if needed, whatever!

[johnj1979]

So the Mass Effect universe is DEAD and it is all because of Mass Effect 3, so there can only be a Mass Effect 3 reboot

[n7-g.knight]

A spin-off game were you get to play a few missions as all the NPC's in the trilogy would be fun.
But I think the next ME game should be set before the first ME game, like set in a previous reaper cycle or maybe set during the rachni wars or the krogan rebellions.

Exactly.

People too often don't see difference between direct prequel/midquel to Shepard story and loose prequel with new hero and independent story, just set in time before original series. 

[TheGreatDayne]

So long as the antagonists are not 5 kilometers death machines, I wouldn't care when it takes place... But I wouldn't want to play as a character I know... unless that game is cheap (like $10-$15) at launch...

[Calibrations52]

Sequel or Sidequel. Please just no spin off or prequel. Both sound like awful ideas, especially considering what some of the head guys just threw around a couple days ago. An alternate universe would diminish the original trilogy imo. I wouldn't mind a sidequel if its focus wasn't on the Reapers. However, I think sequel is the best option. If they set it far enough in the future, I think the divergent endings could be a little more convergent.

There is only 1 correct answer to this poll and I am glad to see that it has received the most votes in this poll.

Reboot gives the chance to tell a new story of mass effect 3. if it tells the same story then whats the point? you still have to stop the reapers but maybe this time you start from where you stopped at me2 with the normandy and a great team and a few monthes to prepeare for war. maybe the reapers are further then a few monthes away. maybe they are ten years away, maybe twenty? no one knows how they got to the galaxy so fast without a relay. a new and interesting story can be told without the help of the crucible...
So many ideas... 
Hell you dont even have to current the third game story. just say it was all one big nightmare...(it sure felt like it):innocent:
