I know, I know, but still.

I dunno, I never really got into the MP side of ME3, not yet anyway. Maybe it would be good. All I know is, news of a ME MMO would put me into a 'wait-and-see' mode instead of a 'shut-up-and-take-my-money' mode.

There's MP in ME3?

Arghh frigg off with your ME MMO

Nope.

It only gives a lot of replayability if:

 

-NPCs react to your species accordingly (read: extra voiceover work for NPCs. Increases greatly the more species you're allowed to play)

-Different PC species behave and speak differently (read: extra voiceover work for the PC, extra voiceover work for NPCs because of added possibilities for different species, extra cinematics.). Making different species is not as simple as just adding different effects to the same lines. A human does not say 'by the Goddess', but an Asari would. An Asari doesn't say 'spirits', nor does a human, but a Turian does. And a Hanar... well, you see my point (you're not going to play a Hanar though, ever. They are only usefull in the water). Different species have to feel different when playing them, not only sound different but say and do the same things.

 

If you don't do these things playing different races is just purely a cosmetic aspect in the story. Aside from having different powers in battle... I assume.

 

I'd love different species, I just hope they're up for it. 

Personally, I prefer a voiced PC over different PC species.

 

 

I totally agree with everything you are saying. I have to have a voice. Otherwise I will not get into the character/story.

 

There is also the problem with height difference. Apparently it is difficult to animate different hight. There is a hugh difference between a krogan and a turian. IF we get a race option, I hope for asari, korgan, turian, human, drell and salarian. (most of all drell). If I am forced to play one specific race, I would rather be human than anything else.

It would probably put me in a 'your-dead-to-me-mode'

 

With the middling success of SWTOR though, I doubt we'll see another MMO out from Bioware for quite some time.

If they give us race selection (whatever kind of background we have) I'm definitely interested in this game.

 

If they give us a human protagonist again I'll be very disappointed, they are my least favourite race in the ME universe.

 

If they're a soldier again on top of that I'll be a little pissed, because it would be even more indication that this franchise is heading in a direction that I don't like. And I used to love these games so much before ME3

You basically just summed up my experience with this series. I remember when I picked up Mass Effect in 2009. I remember vividly how I felt from Virmire through to the end credits, and few other games have ever come close to that kind of feeling. When ME2 came out, I remember how I was irked that it missed the frontier-ish epic mystery feel of the first game, but it still made up for it with its expanded universe and an epic ending that promised a grand finale that would make this series the cornerstone of sci-fi games for years to come.

 

It's actually kind of tragic in a sense. Everyone still remembers Mass Effect, but their third in the series has effectively killed the charm that captivated most of us. I've long gotten over the bitter disappointment after finishing ME3, but I can't even go back and replay the first game past Eden Prime anymore without shrugging my shoulders and shutting the game off out of apathy. That's very telling when the same game that I've sunk well over a hundred hours into and never got tired of has now become something I can't even be bothered to finish.

I wish it had nothing to do with Shepard.... He meddles in other peoples affairs too much (like poor saren)

I wished they stopped with all the multiplayestuff. I just cannot get into it coz ME is much more about story for me.

 

Well. I don´t mind multiplayer as long as it does not reduce quality of singleplayer, or make it a necessity to play MP to be able to beat the singleplayer perfectly (so frustrating regarding that in ME3...)

I haven't really given MP an honest try yet, but I agree. The story is the important thing. And characters.

Especially the characters. There is no company in the world that make characters as good as BW. And I tend to prefer the aliens over humans, because they are so interesting and different. God, ME2 was a characterfeast, and I loved every second of it. Same with DA2. Everything about the game was lacking, but the characters made it worth five playthrough!

[Friera]

I also like the aliens (Thane was my favorite), but I personally prefer to experience their characters, emotions, and cultures with a human from a human perspective because it challenges me to reach outside my comfort zone. And as a human I even feel a personal change in my RL...... ...ok.... I know that sounded strange...backing away slowly. Must sleep.

 

I do travel a lot, so I am very open minded. But I get easly bored, so thats why I find the aliens particulary interesting. Fresh air. Different. So nice, I like.

 

Yeah, Thane is my favorite as well. (Matter in fact, all time favorite. No fictional character have ever touched me like that...) And I am still so sad about ME3 in that regard. I couldnt play it more than once, it broke my heart...

My favorite ME3 review said that ME3's ending "poisoned even nostalgia against it". That accurately describes how I feel about this. Poisoned nostalgia. Fond remembrance tainted by...hmm...I can only describe it as a form of disgust which the EC has not managed to remove. I can't even put a finger on the reason - probably it's an aftereffect of the original ending, or of the remaining flaws the EC didn't manage to remove. Regardless, starting up any ME reminds me of how I used to feel about it, and of how I feel now. And then I lose all motivation to continue. Poisoned nostalgia indeed.

[SporkFu]

Bioware has always done interesting characters. Even the ones I don't like, I respect the effort put into them. After so many playthroughs some characters kinda get on your nerves, at different times, but still... well done characters. 

 

Gotta be honest, I didn't like Thane in ME2. Apologies but there it is, heh. I wanted to like him, I liked the idea of his character. But that memory-flashback thing is cringeworthy... and creepy. Especially when Kelly imitates it. Jeebus. But... he does have his uses in combat. 

 

But in ME3 I gained a lot of respect for his character. I totally got into the terminally-ill-drell-taking-down-badass-wannabe thing. And his death scene was... well, I liked it. In the end I liked him.

If Bioware does set ME4 after the events of ME3 then there is one thing that I would love to see implemented. Many people talk about little baby [insert favourite companion here], but what I would want to meet is this baddass Krogan, maybe even one you get to know well. And somewhere through the game or the mission (depends how big of a character he is) there are little hints that let you know that he is actually Shepard's and Garrus' adopted son. The more subtle and less, omg look here, this was revealed the more bittersweet.

 

I would cry.

 

I believe Tali mentions a Krogan if you romance her as well?

But it would be the perfect little easter egg to commemorate their relationship without making it a massive deal. 

 

Even if the next game is set well and truly after the events of ME3, Krogans (and Asari if you romance Liara) live for centuries, so it could be possible.
