Unlike the previous games, should the new ME game be made in a way, in which we can pick other options then just human for the campaign?

Seems like a lot of backstories to create, and a voice actor for each one, male and female.

[Reborn Raven]

It would seem like a great idea, but it would take forever to make.

[Reorte]

Don't see how that could work if we're to get the detailed characters we're used to from BioWare (would love to be proven wrong).

[Samtheman63]

i would like that alot, even if it meant sacrificing the main chars voice acting.

elder scrolls style ME game

Mass Effect: Origins.

Yes! I would love to play through a Mass Effect campaign as a Krogan or Turian, it would also give the game a lot of replay value... not that I need a reason to play through a Mass Effect game multiple times.

Ideally, that might be interesting.

In practice, absolutely not. It would necessitate an absolutely immense amount of work that could be served much better elsewhere.

By far the biggest problem is animation.

Definitely. As for voice actors, who says the main character needs one? Just do what DA:O or the Elder Scrolls games do and use a silent protagonist. I find that more immersive anyway.

i have to agree with this. It seems like it would be sacrificing overall quality in favor of an overabundance of options.

BioWare did it for Dragon Age Origins, it'd be nice to see for Mass Effect.

Sure it would be difficult to craft origins and all for each playable race, but the payoff would be equally as great.

[Bizinha]

No... This would sacrifice much to history, and I believe I would not be immersive.

This would be step back from original series.

You can have  silent protagonist and give him voice in next volume, but opposite would be see as problem.

You don't have too, just have all characters based on the Citadel with similar backstories (e.g. a choice of 3 like Shepard had, and his were quite broad/generic as well, they could easily make this work). For voice actors you could have the same voice actor and say that they just had humans and the six basic races that were in multiplayer to start with you could have:

Male: Turian, Krogan, Drell, Quarian, Salarian
Female: Turian, Krogan, Drell, Quarian, Asari, 

Because obviously there are no male Asari and female Salarian are only diplomats. This doesn't mean they would need six male voice actors or six female voice actors, maybe they could just have two voice actors who just re-voice lines for each race. So for example for Quarian.,Asari and Human they would talk normally, with the Salarian they would talk a bit quicker. For the Turian, Krogan and Drell their voices would need to be edited a bit. 

Edit: By the way I have no idea how voice acting works and if it would be possible to edit their voices in that way, but they don't have to include races like Geth, Vorcha, Volus, etc... as playable because it just wouldn't work out. Not to say they couldn't be possible squad mates though. A Geth or Vorcha squad mate would be cool, not so sure about Volus. 

Even if some such altering programm existed, having six version of each dialog of main hero would mean six time more audiofiles. This would be a lot of space which would miss elsewhere.

I would like to, but it won't happen...

[Dunabar]

Should we be allowed? Oh most definitly.
Will we be allowed? Don't know, BioWare hasn't given enough information on the next Mass Effect game to make heads or tails of their plans entirely.

I would love to play a Quarian, Turian, Salarian and the other races in the next Mass effect game, it's actually why I really love the multiplayer, I can play my favorite races, and not feel like I must play something I don't want to. I can say for sure that I'm willing to give up a character with a voice for more options, but it doesn't truly mean that would be enough to get it.

I live in a bit of a dream that the next Mass Effect will offer both race selection and give those races their own voices, but it's only a dream. I doubt it will happen, but if it does I will be happy, if not I will shrug and smile. So long as I get to play more in the Mass Effect Universe, enjoy its story, the squadmates I pick up, and everything else that makes Mass effect awesome, I will be happy.

Hardly,in all 3 games Aliens used the same animations/skeleton as Human characters and for the most part it worked quite well.

[Pordis Shepard]

I would like to see something well done with say First Contact war, where you could play as either Human or Turian; related but different stories to play. Of course, this may be too much RP considering the direction ME has been taking.

[Iakus]

Would the choice be anything but cosmetic?

None of the NPC characters have any animations even approaching the complexity of Shepard's animations. There's a great deal of physics to consider. You can't have an 800 lb krogan move the same way as a 90 lb salarian. It doesn't look right at all. You have to account for size.

nope.

casual players dont want to play as non humans.

[S.A.K]

It would be great to have but an absolute nightmare to create.
