I love the Shep storyline, no doubt. But how could BW make a sequel to ME3? Even a sequel set long after the Reaper war would be very difficult, since the consequences of Shep's actions would be felt for millennia. The main reason of course being the potential extinction of multiple races. In ME3 the following races can go extinct(presumably):

- Reapers
- Quarians
- Geth
- Krogan(faked genophage cure and let the bomb detonate)
- Hanar
- Drell
- Elcor

Regardless of Shep's choices, races like the Batarians and Volus will suffer extreme losses to the harvest.

True plus people will want to play as Shepard in ME4 espically if they believe in the Indoctrination Theory.

In the end, they'll probably have to canonise the survival of most of those races. Only the Reapers, quarians and geth can go totally extinct; the rest are implied and can possibly 'bounce back'. The quarians, geth and krogan are all too popular to write out anyway, it's likely they'll still be around for future games.

[Tron Mega]

ANYTHING can happen in the MEU! EVERYTHING is possible!

lazerous projects, god children, space magic, handwaves, retcons, conrad vernor, cows that steal your money, surviving suicide missions with zero casualties, biotics, thermal clips, the mako mirandas butt.

honestly, i forgot what im talking about.

You sure?

[Massa FX]

I am Looking forward to the next gen BW games. Hopefully I won't experience emotional trauma from playing future releases. Regardless, they'll get my $ for any MEU game forthcoming, unless its not an RPG. They go full shooter... I won't buy. They go vanilla RTS... no sale.

Elephant Theory

By sweeping the red, green and blue ending under the rug and pretend it never happened that way in the first place.

[Mcfly616]

They're not making a sequel. They've already confirmed this. I've been predicting an alternate timeline for awhile now.


Like the original Star Trek (Spock and Kirk) and The Next Generation (Picard and Data). It'll be the same Mass Effect we all know and love. There just won't be any Reapers or Shepard or his/her crew. It'll be a new adventure with the same pillars and staples of the series all dressed up in pretty graphics for a new generation (Citadel, Relays, Asari, Turian, Krogan, Human, Salarian)

I'm not thrilled yet about an alternate timeline so soon. When you have 20+ years to enjoy a given universe beyond it's initial run, and in different forms after, then I can see the excitement for a new take. Here, it's like the original universe just stops at a dead end. Which I guess explains why they would wash their hands of it. It never really happened.

The ending isn't even a fraction of the challenge. Multiple species can be extinct long before you even get to Priority Earth.

that's like saying The Next Generation isn't good, or that you don't like it, simply because it has no connections with the original series. Spock and Kirk actually happened. Just as Shepard and Crew and the Reapers happened. They are just self-contained standalone adventures within a Universe of stories.

Not to mention its the easiest solution if they aren't doing a prequel or sequel.


And I don't feel that that the original/Shepards universe just "stops at a dead end". I actually think it stretches on forever. Which is what I love about it. Shepard gave the galaxy an actual chance to write their own future for the first time ever. But everybody is entitled to their own perspective.

Well apparently Synthesis is inevitable and causes Galactic Peace and happiness so yeah kinda hard to make a sequel with no conflict. It will be like the Sims or something but death and fights will be disabled.

[ShepnTali]

I'm not saying I won't like it. Here and now, I'm just not feeling it. I watched plenty of original Trek and the movies after. There were stories still to tell with familiar characters. Classic Trek wasn't a dead end beyond actors becoming physically too old to have any legitimacy. It may be different I guess with things not being official canon.

Okay, McFly, I see where you're going.... Here's a possibility. The mass relays were created by the Protheans. Drill that into your heads. Forget the reapers ever existed. The Protheans are an ancient race that disappeared some 50,000 years ago due to something. Maybe they transcended like the ancients on Stargate... who the hell knows..., and they left the relay system and Citadel behind. The Asari, Turians, Salarians, Humans, Batarians, Drell, Volus, Elcor, Hanar, Vorcha, Quarians inhabit this universe. Maybe the Geth. I don't know. Maybe he'll have the Quarians on Rannoch without suits.

Okay, Mac, now you've got a clean slate. A brand new story to write, so make it a good one.

Shepard's MEU is in one quantum "Bubble". This one is a different quantum "Bubble"

Honestly, if there was a way to import our final choice from ME3 onto the next gen systems in the next game, that's what I would want. But I don't want to play as Shepard, or see his crew. I would want it to be thousands of years in the future. But the import seems impossible anyways.

This is why I favor the alternate timeline, because I don't want an ending canonized

I don't think they can, and I don't think they should.

Keep the setting, the races, and what lore that hasn't been completely trampled yet., and start over.

[Nole]

Just ignore the trilogy, make an AU.

Well for once we're in agreement, because I can't see them proceeding with a canonized ending of one of the three. I don't want Synthesis or Control rammed down my throat, and I'm sure the others don't want Destroy rammed down theirs either, and 500 years out in the future when all the repair work was done. So why not just make an AU with no reapers at all and be done with it.

[Steelcan]

Make High EMS Destroy canon and start over in a fresh new galaxy. Make the other choices non-importable like Shepard dying in ME2

[Wolfva2]

Yeah, they said there won't be a sequel. And since they didn't hire Julia to fix the game for them, I doubt it'll be an alternate timeline. Sorry Julia; but not everyone would like your idea of the perfect game :>

Exactly what the next game will be is <insert speculation here>. So let the arguments reign! For we shan't know WHAT the next game will be for quite a while now. Heck, DA:I isn't even going to be out until fall of '14....I'm guessing ME4 will be out....sometime in '15?

Spock was on The Next Generation. Kirk was in one of the movies. Heck, Scotty was in a TNG episode...
TNG is a sequel in the same time line a hundred years in the future...

I agree. Canonize the survival of the Quarians and Krogan. Perhaps some of the Geth were rebuilt?

Well I would start with an artistic vision for the next game and write it. Not everyone would like it which is a given. I would stand by my artistic integrity. I would just make sure it was a good story and that everything was as well done as it could be.... if I were a writer. I'm not a writer. Nor would everyone like your idea of a perfect game. Ask 6 people here what their idea of a perfect game is and you will have 12 opinions.

honestly, I might just be exactly that.

My dream game would be a free roam open world RPG with multiple playable races and joinable factions (C-Sec, Spectres, mercs, Cerberus agent, Asari Commandos, etc....) set 5 to 10 years ahead of the Shepard Trilogy OR just put it in an AU.

One thing is certain, I just want Bioware to get away from this mission to mission linear corridor shooter format, and get back to their RPG roots (inventory systems/customization, loot, and most importantly Exploration)
