Pick one of the following races:
Human
Asari
Turian
Salarian
Drell
Volus
Krogan
Baterian
Vorcha
Quarian
Geth

Pick Gender:
Male or Female
[Asari, Vorcha and Geth don't get this option]

Customise Appearance:

Pick Class: 
Soldier
Sentinel
Engineer
Infiltrator
Adept
Vanguard 

Like this a lot. Some races cant be some of the classes as im sure there are no Geth Adepts.

All awesome ideas, but I was thinking the other day about the multiplayer in ME4, or whatever it'll be called, I could imagine rather than unlocking specific characters and classes (I.E. Krogan Battlemaster Vanguard or such) you could unlock a species type, different body types, different armors etc., for example, when you start out you could have the humans or something, and then you unlock a krogan, not a specific class, but rather a species, you could start out Getting maybe three options for power specializations to start with, for a krogan it might look something like this:
Species: Krogan : Power Path-Tech-Pure Engineer/Infiltrator/Sentinel (And following with ME2/1 Final Class Tree Upgrades

Biotic-Adept/Vanguard/Sentinel

Combat-Soldier/Infiltrator/Tech
Then you could have the specific class specializations get specific skills, and general skills for power focus (I.e Vanguards having Biotic Charge, as well as biotic basic abilities like warp) and you could custom set all the powers for your liking (With the exception of race or specialization specific powers) and then you could set the different armor types (Like in ME3 and ME2 Hahne-Kedar or Elkoss Combine) for each species. Then meet with changing colors in addition to all that.

I think a wide range of playable races would not work as it would either require several voice actors for a single protagonist, or a single voice actor whose lines were altered to sound Turian, Batarian, ect. A single actor voicing all races would also need unique lines to reflect whatever origin was chosen. The alternative is a silent protagonist. The silent protagonist does not have much appeal IMO and the other two require more work and/or are a bigger drain on resources than just having a human protagonist with two voice actors.

That isn't to say that there can't be an alien protagonist however. If Bioware goes that route I think their best bet would be to limit it to two playable alien races. Turian for males and Asari for female characters, for example. You then would only need two voice actors. A male actor for the male human and the Turian, and a female actor for the female human and the Asari. As a small bonus, the female actor's lines would not need to be altered in any way since the Asari sound like humans. She would just need additional lines to reflect an Asari origin, if that were chosen.

Now, the only problem is that it wouldn't be hard to alter the voices with a changer. And it isn't like they don't have the resources to change small lines to fit a different race.

DA: I will have four playable races(all fully voiced), I don't see why ME4 shouldn't have the same features.

It wouldn't be hard to create the option for an Asari, Turian, Quarian or Drell protagonist. They could use the same VA with a few modifications(e.g. Quarian mask filter).

i think mass effect should stick to having a human protagonist, not because it would be easier or more economical but because mass effect was all about humanity trying to find a place in the galaxy. it was also about your character becoming familiar with and befriending the different races as a human, so idk. i just don't think playing as different species would be good for me4 in my opinion. of course this really depends on the story in me4, who knows we could all be volus

and yes being able to rotate your character to see what they actually look like would also be a plus

having tattoo options would be nice, as well as different physical builds/heights

and since the protagonist isn't supposed to be a soldier i think it would be logical to have more hair designs as well

It will be interesting to see if DA pulls it off well. If it does, there shouldn't be any reason Mass Effect couldn't go a similar route.

I doubt will see every race be playable however. At best there will be a few limited options. If Bioware went with four, as you suggested, it would probably be human (human is most likely guaranteed), Asari, Turian, and Quarian. Or at least that would be my bet, since those three alien factions are probably the fan favorites.

Agreed and I'm also very curious as to how exactly DA: I will handle charater creation and voice acting. I would double on your bet that Turian, Asari and Quarian would be the three alien options. Not just because of their incredible popularity, but due to the fact that these three would be easiest to implement in the game.

More species to play.

The races of Mass Effect are far more disparate from one another than those of Dragon Age. The latter are pretty much fantasy humans.

Asari and Quarians look at least as human as Qunari.

[Eamon696]

Races
Human Male
Human Female

Turian Male
Turian Female

Asari

New Species Male
New Species Female


Classes
Soldier
Adept
Engineer
Vanguard
Sentinel
Infiltrator

The Male human and Turian characters would have the same voice actor, while the Female Human, Female Turian, and Asari would share one aswell.  The NS Male and NS Female could either have the same voice actors as their counterparts, or could have their own.

I'd like to see skills and talents divided into pools that the player chooses from when creating the character. A biotic pool, a tech pool, and a soldier pool. And then have three classes: biotic, tech, or soldier. Have two of the skills be the same for each class, like class mastery and fitness, and then the rest are chosen from the three pools.

As an example if you want to play a biotic, you'd pick half your skills from the biotic pool, and then the other half you mix and match however you want. That gives you plenty of customization options.

Nobody wants a new species. And besides, how could they implement a completely new and undiscovered species after three games?

I want a new species. And with so much more storage space, there is no reason they can't alter a few lines for different races. In fact they already did it to a lesser extent with your background and war history in each mass effect game. EVEn history specific missions. Ps4 and xbox1 storage capacities make this very possible.

[legeraz123]

bigger ****** & bigger butts go a long way with constant gaming...food for thought.

[legeraz123]

online special weapons also made available in story mode to be purchased with Main Characters credits not just dlc

[legeraz123]

a chance to use Main Charactor for online gaming

[legeraz123]

Play as differents in story mode...as well as be able to use your property without a companion present like the bed...flat screen tv & better music 4 real.

[legeraz123]

Play as different characters

But they aren't humanoid and besides, they sound like another joke race like the Hanar.

Don't get me wrong, I'd totally be fine with a new race as long as they don't neglect the already existing ones.

I dunno. I'd like to see a new race that isn't a joke. The hanar have their shtick, as do the volus, elcor and vorcha, but the raloi could be an opportunity to present a new race that isn't used as another comic relief species of the MEU.
