You're muddling up some unrelated issues there. Whether a game is hard scifi or not has nothing to do with whether it's set on the frontier, and being on the frontier doesn't necessarily mean exploration. We don't explore on Virmire, for instance.

What I meant was the sense of.... I guess isolation on the frontier. When I think of hard SciFi, part of what I think of is that feeling, that sense of being cut off yet surrounded by an incomprehensibly vast space. That's the sort of feeling I got when I explored secluded bunkers or boarded drifting spacecraft in the original game.

trying avoid the issue's of the trilogy isn't the best way to deal with them and will probably hurt them in the future, it's better to deal with them sooner rather than later so they can go foward with the franchise.

You do realize none of my posts in this thread have been about Ark Theory, right?

The Mass Effect Universe is utterly fantastic.

My mistake then. What were you referring to?

I absolutely loved the Mass Effect universe after the first game. However, I feel it was a mistake to allow Shepard to hijack the galaxy. Shepard single-handedly made every important decision, and no character or race could accomplish a thing without Shepard's involvement. IMO, this devalued the ME universe. I hope they prove me wrong, but I fear the ME universe isn't independent enough to support any future games or otherwise without Shepard.

The galaxy is a big place, a new character let's players see it from a different perspective. Bioware shouldn't try to top Shepard, just make a good new character to explore the galaxy with.

The shift from ME1 to its sequels really. That sense of frontier exploration and the general desolation of space exchanged for more space gunfights and space car chases in space cities with space criminals. It's made the galaxy feel small, contained. There's little if any sense of a vast unexplored frontier. Ark Theory or not, they should try to get back to that.

Not really, exploration took a back set to plot during the next games, there is still potential for exploration.
