Hi to everybody.
A little poll

Thanks for your answers

On my side, I say yes, without any hesitation: seeing Shepard in different story was such a great pleasure.

I don't want any more trilogies. I'd rather have them doing their games like Dragon Age writers are doing them right now. A new protagonist on each new game. I'm kinda bummed that Shepard stopped feeling like my very own character with the third game. As much as I loved Shepard, in the two first games, I think they should make just make new protagonists so people don't get disappointed on the long run.

Definitely.  Like a good book series, you become attached to a character and want to see more of them.  Of course, that depends entirely on the quality of the character in question.  Even now, I'd still be interested in seeing more Shepard, Garrus, Miranda, Mordin (RIP), Liara, Wrex, Grunt, Anderson, Jack, Joker, and Traynor. 

In fact, I find short, stand-alone games to be rather shallow now, in terms of character-building.  The same goes for stand-alone movies and books.

This.

Would personally prefer to see another series with a new PC. Instead of something like DA with its disposable one off protagonists.

Considering how they fallowed through on this trilogy BW seems unable to plan so far head heck they didn't even plan two correctly it seems more like ME and ME3 were meant to be more of a sequel then ME and ME2 were because of the obviously jump (and fail) ME2 was.

I'd say do one game or plan out two games and no more decide what will be the choices and from those choices work out logical consequences and reactions that will generate throughout both games beyond just dialogue.

I'd like to see a new saga saga, but I don't see why it has to be limited to three parts. I wouldn't mind taking the same character through four or five games. Personally, I think the Shepard saga could've benefited from a fourth chapter, because in ME3 you could really see the writers scrambling to tie up all the loose ends. Spreading the Reaper War over two games could've given them more room to flesh out the story and characters, as well as help them plan out a more fitting conclusion.

I would like to play as Shepard again in the next game, but we all know that won't happen. However if the next game does very poorly, then Bioware will have no choice but to bring back Shepard. Just look at Halo - the first three games were with the Master Chief, the next thee did not include him at all - then Halo 4 appeared with the return of that character that is familiar to all players.

[Mello]

Hell yeah I would love to have another Shepard game. I just think that Bioware should leave Mass Effect alone if they're not putting Shepard in it. Start a whole brand new game or trilogy. Leave Mass Effect alone, don't open old wounds.

[Modius Prime]

No. I think Shep had his starring role already, but I would not mind seeing him in a cameo. I think another trilogy would be cool... But I just hope that it is written well. Seeing Shep or his friends would be nice things, but they wouldn't be necessary. I'm looking forward to the next ME game

I liked playing as Shepard, but I wouldn't want them to throw away the entire Mass Effect universe just because Shepard's story is over.

Bioware should just stop with the whole imported saves business until they can figure out how to put two games together without massive retcons and/or railroading

well, yeah - this (also, seeing Liara and the others without Sheppard would be kind of pointless (and he is dead for all intents and purposes) - even more, she (and the others) would not know "me"...it would be WEIRD/STRANGE...because well, I (the player) know and don't know her (same for the others) at the same time (my character does not - can not know her, unless it is written in and even then it is not the indepth knowledge my Sheppard has)...)

so in short, yes (but i would want the backgrounds to be a little more fleshed out then the current ones), because it gives us more time with him/her and it makes for a deeper (not necessarily better - as seen in ME3, because it has depth (concerning some characters) but is plain bad IMHO) story (and can - if the writers are capable and get enough time - be fleshed out more, because in universe certain characters already know you in a second game (and you know them!) and others know your reputation (one that they player made through his actions, not one that was foisted on him like some bad articles of clothing that don't fit your character/you as a player)

Me too.

I'd rather they stay away from another series with one main character until they can make a game where the last one has endings that reflect the choices made throughout the series.  That would be amazing.

 If each of the ME games had been separate characters and a separate story set in the ME universe, the ending of ME3 would not have been so horrific, in fact it probably would have been rather enjoyable.

Hmm. I'm not so sure. The endings were disappointing for many reasons, and I don't think having a recurring protagonist was one of them. At least not for me; I was ready to say goodbye and I was prepared for Shepard possibly dying. I was just expecting it to happen in a more... fitting way.

The way I see it, playing three games as Shepard paved the way for all the great moments of ME3 because you'd made all those connections and been on all those adventures and established all those relationships. I felt much less interested in Hawke, and while there may very well be a variety of reasons for that, I think it's safe to assume that the characters and setting being new played a significant part.

I'd love another recurring protagonist. Giving us control of Shepard for three games allowed the bond to grow deeper than any I can recall having felt in a previous video game. Maybe just ease up on the carry-over decisions so they don't get tangled up in a mess of variables.

Those bonds are what made the ending choices hurt so much for me.  And having the choices was one of the ways I made Shepard mine, and as it was,  in each game, Shepard changed personalities so taking away more carryover would have just changed the character faster.    But right now my brain is going mushy and I'm having some troube concentrating, so I'll just say if they did do another series with the same main character, I'd be dubious.  

I actually think they could do it if the wrote out the main idea start to finish and then just gave us different ways to accomplish that.  It could be done I think, but I'm not positive they would not get sidetracked.

Ther no point in making it a trilogy. Bioware only makes stand alone stories for each game. I remember when DA:O was coming out. They said that each game would be a separate story divided by geography and time but set in the dragon age. The three ME games have different focuses and narrative while only being connected by proper nouns. The sequel to Torment is not even being made by them. They have yet to make a sequel to Jade Empire. I am fine with them making oneshot universes. And what is the fascination with trilogies. The Lord of the Rings was originally six books but became better known as a trilogy and every one thinks making a trilogy means the product will be good. The Belgariad is a great series and is in five books. It is in five books because that is the appropriate spacing and separation for the story.

They should, but won't. Hopefully we actually get choices that have an impact. Unfortunately, BioWare seems obsessed with showing every bit of content even if players jump through ridiculous hoops anticipating consequences.

[Son of Shepherd]

Hopefully sequel, no Shepard, Universe is far too big to revolve around one character. No trilogy or anything just move things forward. Anything other than a sequel now would be a huge step backward imo. If they pull off a positive sequel they can really do whatever they like as after that a prequel would seem a lot more interesting than it does now, You know, like going back to your roots?

[SwitchN7]

Trilogy. Different character.

[garrus and ashley squad]

Would love to have shepard back. He was me after all. Anyways since there is no shepard I think other characters should return for a brief moment throughout the series. Not a lot of time should be given though. A story here and there.

[OnlyMrChill]

I wouldn't want any more trilogy's either. They should just continue with the story until the day that no one is interested in Mass Effect anymore (which would be never ;D).

And for the new game, even though we won't be Shepard, if the game is set after the reapers were destroyed they should definitely recognize Shepard's actions and have a monument of him in the newly built Citadel,

[KieranW]

Honestly? I hope that they will bring Shepard back. Not in the next game, but down the line? Why not. It wouldn't be the first time something like that had happened. For example, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. There he created a character who surpassed it's creator. He killed Sherlock and his readership flipped out. And so, eventually, he brought the famed detective back.

That's my hope, anyway. Let them make two or three more games. But I fervently hope Shepard has made enough of a mark on Mass Effect to make the universe seem stale without him. And I hope (even if it's just for the sake of a cash cow) they bring him back. Even if it's just for a prequel, such as his N7 training and Elysium/Torfan/Akuze. Maybe his early days under Anderson?

Not sure I'd want a monument unless it is a figure in a space suit with the helmet on or a dedication plaque. "This historial museum is dedicated to the first human spector and person who rallied the galexy during the reaper invasion".   or something
