Given how BW likes to play with our minds I would not read too much into 'takes place in Shepard's time'.
J.J Abram's Star Trek 'takes place in Shatner's time', but that ain't the Shatnerverse.
Honestly, I'm more looking forward to the multiplayer, and feel little enthusiasm for the single player, at this time.
Which is 180 degrees away from how I felt when ME3 was released.
The new hero of ME 4 is Conrad Verner
That is why it is less combat focused
It is set during Shepard's dead period and details how the "fake N7" that plays ME3 multiplayer came to be

Conrad Verner was the best thing in Mass Effect 3.
In favour of exploring the current ME universe. I'm uncertain about how this new character will have an impact on the in-game universe though. Shepard became the most recognised figure in the galaxy, the first human spectre, bane of the reapers, destroyer of geth, etc etc etc. I think a new character would either have to do things on a smaller scale, maybe they make a difference in the Attican Traverse but on a galactic scale, not really anyone important.
I think the troubles are going to lie with the new protagonist being another Alliance member. Shepard played such a massive role in human integration into the glactic community that it'd be impossible to ever achieve that kind of god-like renown. Interactions with familiar faces are going to have to be very careful to not be cheap and cheesy, with excellent storylines and reasons for being there.
Overall - I'm dreading some of the huge pitfalls that Bioware could fall in to *coughDA2cough*, but hopeful that they can pull another great game out of the hat.
I am more than fine with my hero in 4 not being in the same legendary sphere as Shepard, as long as it's not during the trilogies time frame.
I see it like like my Arcane Warrior Grey Warden who became king and then eventually disappeared with Morgan through the portal. That guy didn't just save Ferelden, but the whole damn place as if not for him, the world would burn while entering a dark age of darkspawn dominion.
DA2 I thought was good, sure I was no Grey Warden King that pulled humanity/elves/dwarves back from the brink of collapse, united the nation and fought back the all encompassing waves of darkspawn from wiping us out; but I was still a significant hero that accomplished a lot beyond the story of the legendary Grey Warden King. (I know, i repeated it because I feel so cool saying how bad ass he was, just like Shepard)
So I don't mind not being as amazing as the Legend before, especially since I played that Legend. But continuing the timeline and becoming a legend after would still feel like a great accomplishment moving forward.
Though I am confident that BW will do a good job with it, as I enjoy a lot of the stuff they develop and haven't let me down yet.
people cried that Grunt was not Wrex
but he turned out alright

What? You haven't heard that EA pulled many of their games from Steam? Yeah, right, they've done a good job of it. Not. EA is even refusing to release its games on Wii U simply because of the console's name, not the power. Also, BioWare as of today is irrelevant due to their disgusting practices. I even heard they were sued for such a crappy and messy office.
You oughta take notice of the real world, m'boy.

Do you have a source for that? Because it sounds more than a little ridiculous. Also, if Bioware is irrelevant, why are you even here?
crossing alternate timeline.
look at star trek, and mortal kombat. common everyone is doing it
As much as I love Mass Effect, for me it personally ended where Shepard's story ended.
I don't really see any interesting directions they can take from here.
A new IP would have been a much better choice..
I'll reserve judgment until the game storyline is told.

Pretty much this...but as Epic as the overall storyline was with the reapers, everybody is really just wanting to see the aftermath from the destructive events that transpired. A side story really wouldn't make sense, since we already know what is going to happen, not unless you have this side story end up progressing the story in a refreshing and shocking new manner.
You can have these side characters that was fighting this war holding back the enemies while shepered was trying to stop the reapers on another front, but then you can maybe actually have this group somehow find it's way to the source or origin of the reapers or maybe have them discover some other threat that makes the reaper threat seem like childs play, but maybe it doesn't have to be a physical threat, but maybe a natural one..like a huge mass of dark matter is obliterating everything in it's path and they must find a way to stop it before it destroys the entire universe.
So while you have the endings from ME3, you can have that plus this new threat that nobody knows about yet that is heading their way....Ultimately tho, i would much rather prefer they progress the story, have the characters battle a new threat or faction (it doesn't have to be Epic like the reapers) and just keep the characters and storyline interesting.
I'll reserve judgment until the game storyline is told.
You don't get this thread at all, do you?
Here's what's supposed to happen. You're supposed to state your earnest belief as to how the game will turn out, on the basis of essentially pure uninformed guesswork, and then express mega-butthurt because that's not what you think should be done with it.
After all, the fans know best, right?
I just hope there's female biotic Geth.
(Has this been said already?)
Not in this thread, I think. Her name is Lore, isn't it?
Conrad Verner was the best thing in Mass Effect 3.
You know, Tigger, I had to look at that twice - and admit I laughed pretty good.

Taking it too far. ME3 had a lot of good points and moments, some of the sour ones over shadowed things but the game still had some good stuff.

There is not male or female there is only we.

I wasn't criticizing the rest of the game. I just loved the Conrad Verner mission. For three games he was a complete f*ck up. He always thought he was doing the right thing and he always made a huge mess of it. Then at the end he saves Shepard's life, catches the bad guy and gets the girl. And it turns out he did his doctoral dissertation on xenotechnology and dark enery intergration and can also provide Shepard with tech schematics, both of which prove vital in the construction of the Crucible.

Question.
Let's speculate that the next Mass Effect has bigger environments. Let's pretend some maps are the same size as an unexplored planet from Mass Effect 1. Should Vanguard Charge operate under the same mechanic as cloak? Should long distance charges have a penalty or longer duration cooldown than a short distance charge?
Example.
Whatever. Just as long as he/she/it is romanceable
