Solution: new game in new galaxy and make the villain utterly destroy the milky way galaxy, no red, no blue, no green, no casper the genocidal ghost, the ultimate reset button.
Ps: Refuse ending and Indocrination theory, the only things that made sense in those ending moments. either that or just obliterate the whole galaxy, glowing kid and all.
They did a multi-game/story world with radical global choices. So the best solution going forward is to make a complete break from the trilogy. That would mean no sequel. Start a fresh. A new multi-game/story world with only personal choices.
Yes which is a reboot or a restart of the entire franchise. But I do agree with you... the Mass Effect triology is over even if I want it to continue somehow in ME4 or a back story, codex, memorial of shep and co, or anything pointing back at the reaper war incorporated in the next game, but yes... Bioware does not intend this to happen. It's the end whether I like it or not and there is nothing more I can do about it. Some people are actually looking forward to a fresh restart but me? after 2 months of straight Mass Effect... I am not sure. I won't look at Mass Effect the same again.

your wish is my command
Even if it fits with what they said, its still a terrible way to go. It was ill-conceived and any complete "fresh starts" that have no connection to anything before it is also ill-conceived.

Uh, isn't that a ringqworld?

yes one of many.
“Halo doesn't kill Flood. It kills their food. Humans, Covenant, whatever. We're all equally edible. The only way to stop the Flood is to starve them to death. And that's exactly what Halo is designed to do: wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life.”

— CortanaFar worst than any reapers lol
Now I feel very very old.

was what I was referring to 
destroy is canon. Haha. How do I know this? The game told me. Hahaha
The guy told the kid about Shepard. In order for someone to tell that story, someone had to be alive to know what happened on the Citadel. Shepard is the only one who can tell that story since she lives with high ems destroy. Hahaha. When telling the story, she mentions the other options.
Over time people would tell about the green stuff. Even comedians would use that story for an opening act to get the audience warmed up. The controlling story was told to kids who like hearing about giant robots. But it would always be that the reapers were destroyed
When the guy says the details have changed, that's where the other parts of the story come in to play. Did Shepard cure/sabotage the genophage? Are the Quarians alive/dead? How many squadmates lived/died?
What does this have to do with the next game? Simple. A sequel can be made either one day after ME3 or one century after ME3 knowing the reapers are destroyed.
If the green and blue ending is going to be added, than its just a story that was made up by whoever initially told the first story. That means anything could've happened. I would like to hear the story from the guy/girl who told the guy in the scene his/her story. I bet its quite different
I've mentioned before I don't see Bioware doing a reboot. If they are, I would be curious what changes will be made. I have a lot of ideas for a reboot if they do one
I don't agree with the ark theory thing. I like to stay in this galaxy
yes this is speculation on my part, but till more information is known about the game, everything is speculation. Hahaha
Ahhh yes I've read an article about this too!
I know ME3 has the "narrative" thing where you dont choose any options, has anyone seen what that does at the end? Because I am pretty sure they would treat that as canon.

Hey if the adventures of Commander Shepard was just a bunch of stories with no basis in reality, I'm all for that
I don't expect them to do this at all... but just humor me for a second. How in the living name of....... can you incorporate those three choices?
Imagine if synthesis/control/destroy becomes part of the new background and history for creating a new character or it becomes 3 seperate game modes that change the gameplay like if you're Soldier vs being a Biotic. Crazy.
One idea I played with is that Synthesis happens anyways, considering both endings involve energy that has contaminated the entire galaxy, doing who knows what kind of mutations. Add the fact that we get Reaper Tech to advance us even on the cybernetics side of things, and ta-da, everyone's half synthetic in the future regardless, and AI's are more human. And even if Reapers are destroyed, they're later rebuild, and have become the Galaxy's servants.
But really, I'd love to play a character who's inbetween the ME series, and creates a new canon Days of Future Past style, by changing the future (the unsung real hero).

The AI Reaper told grandpa in the control ending, and the Catalyst told grandpa in the Synthesis ending, since chances are that AI is still alive in that ending.

Why would Shepard turned Catalyst tell the guy anything and why would the catalyst tell the guy anything?

Liara sends Conrad Verner's mind back in time to prevent Shepard from dooming the Galaxy with the Crucible.
Would play

You ever see the "bad ending" to Jade Empire?

Nope. Never played the game.
You keep saying this, but it doesn't make it any less incorrect. Yes. Every life is a special story of it's own. Which means there are people who have had adventures before Shepard ever showed up on the scene and there are those who've had adventures concurrently with those of Shepard.Yes which is a reboot or a restart of the entire franchise.

It's funny how the "stupid-bad" ending where you surrender to the Big Bad is the good outcome to ME3.

NICE! I wish I could read it... :c I wasn't even born yet in the 70's xD it influenced HALO alot

This actually trashed your whole case of a reboot. It supports the fact that Shepard is but one man and there are plenty of stories to tell about other people who have shared the same fictional setting as him.
in what part of the galaxy? another galaxy? not the milky way? happening at the same time that of the reapers but only the milky way got attacked? yeah okay so explain the Krogan shown in the Demo vid how the hell did they get to this new galaxy? oh wait it is a reboot/restart. Don't be so hard on yourself I don't mind Bioware doing a Reboot or Restart because it is till a Reboot or Restart one way or the other since well... how could you claim that it "continues" after ME3 if there is no connection? A SPIN OFF? AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE? I don't get it. Again I go back to my best example of Reboots and Restarts or a re-telling of the story from another universe... FINAL FANTASY EVERY NEW FREAKING TITLE IS A RESTART... except FFX-II, FF XIII-II AND FINAL FANTASY XIII LIGHTNING RETURNS yuck I hate them! Square-Enix broke their tradition of "RESTARTS AND REBOOTS" now look what happened to them! they originally scrapped FINAL FANTASY VS XIII but they brought it back from the dead and renamed it FFXV so that it won't get associated with XIII in anyway giving people the wrong impression that it is connected to XIII wherein fact and in their long tradition that it SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY!
Bioware? Mass Effect? what is the tradition applied? import save games and continuity of story... what happens when the tradition is broken? it may make or break Bioware. But hey that's only my own opinion and I really don't care at all. Besides alot of you are looking forward with the next Mass Effect right? if it ever gets that name.
I agree that there are many STORIES OF DIFFERENT BACTERIAS OUT THERE HAVING A TEA PARTY but Shep's story must and should have an impact on their teaparty "somehow" because well... REAPERS EXTINCTION... unless Master Chief out there has received the distress call but can not respond because someone activated the Halo Arrays
EDIT: AH I see I get your point you are talking about the entire "MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE" The Milky way galaxy is just one speck and that the Leviathans are only small bacterias which means the Next Mass Effect will be set into beyond the Milky Way galaxy with new bacterias when the bacterias of the Milky Way comes in contact with other bacterias of the unknown? works for me.

Who said anything about Reapers? Nobody. Shepard is the only entity that came up. Secondly, I specifically said "the same fictional setting". Which would mean the Milky Way. You're the only one bringing up a new galaxy. I also never mentioned a sequel. Neither has Bioware. The Krogan in the demo could be on some rock in our galaxy before ME1, or concurrently with the 2 years Shepard spent dead. Or it could be after ME3. The timeline of the next game is anybody's guess. No evidence leaning one way or the other.
Hard on myself? 
Maybe you should look in the mirror and tell yourself that. You're the one that believes anything not involving Shepard is a "reboot".

The thing is Shepards actions are pretty much central to whatever happens next in the MEU. It was Shepard who decides which direction it goes so if they completely cut off Shepard then I have no idea how they plan to move on. And personally I am not interested in any prequels or side-quels or any shenanigans with the ark theory and the like.

And that would be a problem of your own. Not the writers and devs trying to craft a good story and an enjoyable adventure.
