ok this is problably been asked and if it has sorry
there is two thinks id like to know from people here
1st   if shep was in the next game would you be ok with it that would mean destroy ending (which I would really like to see)
2nd  if the next game would have someone different would you be ok with it (new story)

the first I would really like to see cause I said in a different post that it wouldn't be mass effect without shep. if the cannonised the destroy ending we could see the after effects of a war torn galaxy trying to rebuild and a few of the more hostle groups of the galaxy trying to take advantage of the situation. and the councel sending shep out to deal with it. and also we could more more time and adventures with the group that made this whole series worth playing. and not to mention that shep and love intrest have unfinished business that could really be explored further like accually living together abourd the Normandy spending time together ,dates etc. there is just so many possiblites if they keep shep at the helm 

and as for the 2nd
all I can say and this my own thoughts but I keep thinking about halo and that the 3 games that didn't have the chief. they sucked take halo 4 for example it is considered by many to be the best halo game yet because it continues the story of the chief and that is what people like to see our game heros go futher in the universe that they  helped create 
same with mass effect if shepard isn't in it will it still be mass effect or just another money grab by putting the mass effect brand on it and calling it mass effect. no it would not be the same
and I really hope bioware doesn't try a new character cause look what happened with DA2 not so good and im going to reserve jugement on DA3 until it comes

what happened with the ending of ME3 can be fixed in the next game by making destroy breath scene canon so the franchise can continue to move forward but only if shepard and crew stays as the front runners then maybe all the fans that hate the ending (myself included) will finally have some messure of peace and everyone else  will have a badass like shepard going out there and doing what she does best blowing things up kicking ass taking name and chewing bubble gum and flying in style on a deadly war machine


discuss away please cause I really am interested to see what this community has to say and please try and keep it civil I want to keep this thread up as long as I can

SHEPARD IS DEAD!

SHEPARD IS DEAD!

*drops mic*

 

Its after five in the morning here and this made me laugh very loud XD

--

 

   Back to the topic though ~ I just personally feel that although I am a bit distraught after mass effect and shepard's story has come to an end; I don't want that tampered with. Yes the world of mass effect can live on and I really am excited for that, though I don't want anything affecting my shepard's story. I feel anything such as " canonizing " an ending or something in the way of that would really upheave everything that has already been done. I put so much into my story and there were so many emotions behind many of the things that happened through out this series. I'm sure the same can be said for many others.

 

   Yes Shepards story was great and yes it has been the entry point and the calling card of mass effect for all of us, though the world of Mass Effect is so rich and I believe in Bioware's ability to tell greater stories beyond Shepard's

1st - Would mean Destroy ending eh... well, I'm not so sure about that.

Do I think that Destroy would be the most true to main plot? Yes.. but I don't think it's everything.

 

2nd - Sure. I actually don't necessarily want:

a)Shepard as we've known him (Commander, military, fully human, etc)

b)Protag to even, at least optionally, Shepard or Shepard-like

I'm cool with something else. One thing though - Shepard imo should be part of what pushes the next protag forward. A passing of the torch, at least.

 

I'm alright with Shepard's story ending with ME3, and the next game advancing another story.

 

I'm not so cool with the feeling of ME3, even with all existing DLC, still feeling like 3/4 of a story in itself. To me, it's STILL missing content, and a part of me keeps hanging on with irrational hope that we're getting something else before the next game gets rolling. Not knowledge, not assurance, not belief - just hope.

 

That hope will end by this summer though, but that's okay. I'll put money towards what I like, and withhold money due to what I don't like. That's how this works.

[katamuro]

Personally I would like the destroy ending to be true with some modifications. As for shepard, I have to agree with both the Bioware and other people, his/hers ship has sailed and he/she is either dead or should not be actively included into the next game. 

[AlanC9]

I'm with katamuro. Yes to Destroy -- preferably with the relays still inoperable -- but no to Shepard.

Edit: I could get behind a Control-based sequel too, though.

[themikefest]

1) Shepard won't be in the next game. The next one after that, who knows?

 

2) I'm ok with a new character and a new story

[Iakus]

1) No.  Destroy means Shepard slaughtered the geth and killed EDI.  I would not want to play a Shepard where "war became murder"

 

2) Depends.  I'm not opposed to playing a new character, but no interest in playing in a galaxy where any of ME3's endings took place.

the other options are worse. 

Synthesis makes everyone in the galaxy half-synthetic or half-organic and leaves the reapers, considering the reapers dont need to rest, dont need resources as such and can just go around the new spacemagic hippie galaxy doing whatever. Plus the whole concept kinda means the galaxy is now "understanding" and in permanent peace.

 

Control means that the galaxy has gained a super-police, reapers under control of shepard would just steamroll anyone trying to do anything bad. No one would be able to do anything that shepard would not want. 

 

both above options leave reapers which is a major problem because they have to invent something far worse so that the reapers would not be able to win against the new threat. And just upping it every time is silly. 

 

Which is why I said destroy with changes, lets say that the only geth which were destroyed were those that were in actual geth bodies, so all the ones on their servers and in quarian suits would be ok, Same goes for EDI, the body destroyed with core intelligence surviving in the ship.

Played Arrival? Too bad, already did it.

[mopotter]

I loved my Shepards, all of them, and I'd really like future games to be either so far in the future Shepard is just a memory, or so far in the past, Shepards parents haven't been born yet.

 

As to which ending they use for future games, I don't have much preference.  Destroy is my personal choice because it's what I worked towards for so many years, but I can actually see future games being built around one of the other endings.  Of course, my vision of the future based on the other endings, probably wouldn't make fans of those choices happy.

[Han Shot First]

As a Destroyer I'm totally fine with High EMS Destroy being carried over into a sequel. That being said, I'd rather Shepard not return either as the protagonist or in a cameo. As much as I like the character, I think his story arc is completed. It would also get old and stale very quickly if everytime the galaxy was in peril the same hero is called upon to save it.

 

I'm hoping the next game will have a new protagonist. It is a big galaxy filled with perhaps hundreds of habited worlds and trillions of people. There is plenty of room for it to have more than one hero.

[AlanC9]

This would set the game around the colonization of Mars, well before the discovery of the mass effect.

Right. This is already baked into the MEU. Either Shepard did it himself or someone else did.

SHEPARD IS DEAD!

*drops mic*

 

Although humorous, my Shepard did survive. She was rescued by the Normandy and survived to see and hug Liara again. Anderson, Thane, Mordin and Grunt didn't make it and it was truely one of the most bittersweet endings I have ever experienced.

[MattFini]

I'm in favor of Shepard encore in much smaller story. No Reapers, no extinction event, etc.

 

I don't believe this will happen, of course, just stating that I would very much enjoy a story where my Shepard and the crew of the Normandy have another adventure. 

 

In the case of ME4, I have no problem with another protagonist. In fact, I'm very excited about "starting fresh" in the MEU. 

[Tevinter Soldier]

1) we must surely agree that no matter what the neither Synthesis or the forth ending, would make too much of a drastic change to the universe of mass effect to ever end up cannon if they went with a sequel. control could be explained with an eventual war between synthetics and organics finally destroying the reapers (and thus making shepard the big bad, oh irony how i love thee) and destroy is the most likely to be canonised.

 

2) absolutely not, **** halo i hated halo stupid FPS, for me Shepards story is done! the world of Mass effect has alot more stories to tell but Shepard? no personally i want shepard dead permanently my shepard sacrificed everything friends (except wrex and garrus cause their badarse and lived) lovers, entire races and ultimately……his/her own life to stop the reapers. i dont even like the ending where you live all that much, it cheapens it with dude bro'ness. the story has greater impact when the hero dies. he stopped the reapers that was literally why s/he existed, Shepard was born to defeat them. His story ended when he defeated them.

 

for me shepards name belongs on the wall of the fallen.

 

EDIT: then again the evil bastard in me would love to play as a different character in a squad against a new threat and your in the presence of greatness Commander Shepard returns! /she stopped the reapers, s/he's trained you for months saved your life by taking down a thresher maw with Omni Blade then gets Nihuls'ed like all Bioware mentors. make it happened guys i know you read the forums!

[Sanunes]

I don't want Shepard to return for I don't want Mass Effect to work like Stargate SG-1 where every season there was a bigger and badder enemy to fight or some reason they are different to challenge the characters.  The other concern I have is that Mass Effect is no longer being done by the same team that made the first three games so no matter what I just can't see Shepard returning the same way as before.

 

The other issue I have with a returning Shepard is that unlike with Halo and just having Master Chief missing the crew would need to return as well, for Mass Effect isn't just about Shepard, but Shepard's Crew as well and with how the returning characters turned out with Mass Effect 3, I would rather have a new crew and not even run into my old one.

 

Then you finally run into people's choice, for like you said they probably would have to canonize "destroy", but for me that still means Shepard died for the Starthing said that "you are partly synthetic" which to mean means all the implants he got from Cerberus at the start of Mass Effect 2 would stop working.

 

No matter what BioWare does with Mass Effect Next they aren't going to be able to please everyone and I think they should just focus on a story they want to tell instead of trying to please people that probably can never be pleased.

[Andrew Lucas]

High EMS Destroy only affect Reaper tech,it is hard to understand that? Even the devs confirmed he is alive in High EMS Destroy.

Starbrat "Even you are partially synthetic"

And then SURPRISE SHEP is Alive!

[Tevinter Soldier]

alive doesn't mean he's ok. we dont know the extent of which his synthetic upgrades were required for him to live.

 

in any case i always assumed after the EC came out that what it was referring to was synthetic life. A.I's V.I's etc otherwise the fleet ships make absolutely no sense they should just be drifting around aimlessly.

[teh DRUMPf!!]

2nd  if the next game would have someone different would you be ok with it (new story)

 

 

lol. Of course not. What story could you possibly tell with a nearly-headless nugget as the protagonist?

 

Moreover, I have no interest in playing through a neo-luddite's paradise setting of Mass Effect. So, unless retconned, no to canon Destroy.

 

And yes, I'd be fine with a new protagonist, just as I've enjoyed other RPGs without Shepard in them. Why would it be different for this one?

[Iakus]

Played Arrival? Too bad, already did it.

 

 

Didn't like that outcome either.  But at least ME2 and ME3 let me rp it as the horrible thing it was.  And Shepard can even try to stop it. 

 

It also didn't try to sugarcoat what a terrible choice it was.  Not like EC did.

[AlanC9]

Shepard can try to stop it?

[AlanC9]

 

Moreover, I have no interest in playing through a neo-luddite's paradise setting of Mass Effect. So, unless retconned, no to canon Destroy.

 

 

 I thought the EC handled the retconning part already.

[SwobyJ]

It was never Neo-Luddite anyway.

 

I love the Geth. Legion is one of my favorite characters. Between Geth and Quarians, I'd pick Geth.

 

Just that I'd kill any species (including humanity), as Shepard, in order to kill the Reapers. And I say this as someone who believes the Reapers aren't as absolute evils as they seem to people.

 

I don't think Control and Synth are even Bad Endings either. Just not for my Shepard. RPing is fun.
