Only thing I ask is that the Spanish dubbing is made.
The rest is perfect!

We don't know Leviathan reproduction though, and we don't know the extent they took to ensure their survival. They might lay a few billion eggs each, they are weird crab monsters after-all.
We see 3 Leviathan this cycle, whereas their cycle was the first.
That means that in ( number of reapers ) multiplied by 50.000 ( years ) they either had 1 ''kid'' or none.
I am fairly sure they aren't reproducing anymore and if they are it's very, Very, VERY slow.
There's room for bringing them back and connecting them closer to the lore.
I wish they didn't.
I hate the numerous plot holes the Starchild and Leviathan brought to the story. Let them rest.
A post-ME3 story with canonized choices would be a tough sell for me. If they went that way, I'd want at most minimal involvement of any surviving Normandy crew members so that I can imagine it as a separate iteration of the MEU that isn't necessarily tied to any particular Shepard that I ever played.
If they do build it off a specific set of Shepard's choices (not just the ending but also things like the genophage, Wrex's status, the fate of the geth and rachni, etc.), I'd probably still buy the game eventually just because there aren't that many sci-fi RPGs with dialogue choices out there (at least not for the PC), but I might wait until it's on sale, and I'd still be trying my hardest to imagine it as separate from my own Shepard playthroughs.

That's the idea.
Garrus, Liara, Tali and Wrex surviving simply means you finished ME1 without killing Wrex and ME2 with them ( Garrus, Tali ) loyal.
How would I do ME4?
I'd do every chick I see. Even Elcors and Hanars.
ME 4 will be a painful experience for everyone involved

Ain't you a bucket of sunshine.
Last 20 mins of ME3 was coma dream after another in collapsing mind of indoctrinated/dying Shepard. - > Reapers did what reapers do. ME 4 is 100k years later. Next harvest of Reapers isn't imminent; Game isn't about stopping them. Player is an archaeologist studying planet that turns out to be Earth.
Make it happen:l

That would be pretty dull, though.
No krogan, no turians- that's not a universe I want to live in.
Edit: Also, Liara's capsule ensures the next cycle survives.
So, at best, 50K years into the future.

Psh, new trilogy, new species! Turians are a race of every American (space)marine in every movie ever made. I find it odd you'd find it in you to miss em!
They're awesome and I'd rather the team focuses on just building up good characters and stories instead of building a completely new world. Think of how thick ME's lore is and now they'd have to do that all over again but with different races, cities and cultures.
I'd rather not.
There's only 3 leviathan left that can only communicate via thralls and I am fairly sure they can't fly outside an atmosphere or use relays.
If they would've been able to replicate reaper technology you'd have anti reaper cannons. Even then, it would've taken them a lot of time to do that, considering every ship out there has to use relays to travel between systems.
Sure, the reapers would probably need 100 years to erase everything, but research goes much slower during war, when communication is bad and resources are scarce.
To be fair, I don't even know what a leviathan is. I mean, I know something, but I didn't buy any of the me3 dlcs. Not even when they were on sale (1/4 of the price it's still too much. they should pay me to play them). My point is, writers can find a way to fix the franchise. But if both hudson and walters are working on me4... they won't find a way.
The Leviathan were the Apex Race that controlled the universe before the Reapers were made.
They however wanted something that would kill Synthetics, which they perceived as a threat to all organics, so they created the Intelligence. The Starkid harvested them, too, though. I presume it was because the Leviathans enslaved the other races, so the Reapers saw them as a threat to organics as well.
So, you think your choices and decisions will matter in the next Mass Effect games. You think player agency actually exists in Mass Effect..........

Well, they did so far.
Except for the Council being made up of humans after ME. Which, let's be honest, would be impossible. The turians and asari wouldn't let that fly.
for me I would lock destroy as CANON with Shep surviving but only mentioned vaguely (cause the game should happen decades even centuries after the reaper war), killing shep is like murdering Frodo at the end of Lotr and that's not good enough for me sorry : /
green eyed hybrids and reaper care bears is not my idea of a ME good time thank you very much .... I will PRETEND that was a LOSE option...
now that THAT unpleasantness is out of the way I do like a lot of the OPs ideas although I think the Geth should just remain dead cause frankly the players are bored with them (well I am) BUT the universe should be a little more receptive to the idea of AIs now that the geth and EDI sacrificed so much for victory
IN FACT maybe one of the 2 new races (mentioned by devs) should be OR should have AIs as part of thier population (not as servants that would be lame and boring)
and yes I would expect the terminus systems to go APESH!T after the war cause no one was in any shape rdy to control them or keep them at bay, some super pirate organization should emerge
ALSO the Leviathan race should be the new "villains" sort to speak (well they are not evil in their own eyes) as in the natural thing for them to do is pretty much enslave all the races AGAIN so that we can feed them grapes and perform all their perverted sexual desires or whatever those over sizes squids want.
also places to see:
1-Irune... make it happen
2-Palavin
3-the new citadel
4-the 2 new races homeworlds
5-Kahje
6-tushanka of course
ALL complete mini cities/parts to explore and see
I could not care less if we see earth in ME4
While a lot of people have objections with a sequel being a true sequel to ME3 I am not one of them. One thing is using a canonized ending, since pretty much 2/3s of the Mass Effect playing community doesn't like it I would suggest maybe being a lot more vague on what carries over. Maybe the general public wasn't given all the details on what happened, maybe Starchild was batpoo crazy and destruction didn't take out all the geth or he outright lied since we really can only speculate on a lot of it that is suggested by the images at the end.
As far as turnig the whole Council into some great big bad using dirty tricks and what not seems truely out of character for them. Sure there might be some colaboration amoung the races but given the Council's approach towards things you would think they would steer clear of them to do thier plot. More than likely a better story would be certain higher up elements in the Turian and Human goverments wanted to cover it up and staged something, this would give you character the added need to clear their name with the Council as well as thwart the main plot. Otherswise if you leave the whole Council as this corrupt evil organziation that is willing to resort to assasination and killing off thier own people as say Cerberus would do, well your character is screwed first off, and second where is hte sense of justice? No matter what evidence you brought forth the council would simply make it seem like a ploy since they control the media the character would have to become a "terrorist" with just about zero chance of ever seeing those that tried to kill them get thier true come upins.
How would I do ME4?

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Pretty sure that's a gross exaggeration.
Just canonise Destroy. It's the most plausible, ignoring IT.
The only Mass Effect 4 i would buy is one where synthesis is canon, ill also buy the game if its a prequel or if it doesnt take any endings in to account
EDIT: also, if a ME game is ever made where destroy is the canon ending i will even refuse to accept its existence
Everyones dead. That's how I would start ME4.
No cameos.

Sysnthesis is the worst PoS ending ever.
A cop-out. A Deus Ex Machina.
