Not every work of fiction should be bound by it's original setting, and Mass Effect shouldn't necessarily be either.If a natural evolution of story takes you somewhere new and fresh then that's great. At some point in the future when the milky way is exhausted it may actually be quite exciting to be heading for Andromeda with a group of characters we already know. 

 

However, a sudden leap to another galaxy wouldn't be an evolution of story. Imagine Game of Thrones suddenly jumping outside of the seven kingdoms with a complete new set of characters. You think the biggest fans of that show wouldn't be livid? 

 

Actualisation of ark theory would require some poor writing without even considering how the ark even gets there. I think we should expect better from a huge game developer like Bioware.

Except it's not sudden. The trilogy is done and over with.

Your GoT analogy would only work if the story is already finished. In which case I wouldn't mind a new setting, as long as it's recognisable as GoT.

If the player chose the Refusal ending then all the species encountered in the Milky Way are annihilated by the Reapers.

Bioware cannot continue forward from that

they are not going to go official with IT or replace the ending to Mass Effect 3

they are not going to cop out on the ending negating the players choice by picking a canon ending or by using space magic to normalise the settings.

they are not going to make Mass Effect 4 - the Mass Effect trilogy is OVER. FINISHED. DONE.

 

they could make games set before the end of Mass Effect 3 but would be very limited in what the players' choices could affect

 

Starting a new "Mass Effect Next" storyline taking the species and technology of the IP beyond the regional boundaries of the trilogy is pretty much the only remaining way to continue at all

We've only seen the galaxy from Shepards perspective there's still a lot of stories that can be told in the MW from different perspectives.

Alright, tell me a story then, one where the cycle could be extinct as much as it could be synthesized.

 

I'll be waiting.

He's not more obligated to tell that version of the story than BioWare was obligated to tell a version of ME3's story with DeadShep.

I don't see any connection at all. ME2's dead Shepard is just a fancy Critical Mission Failure. Refuse is a legit choice. I have no idea where you get this comparison from...

[AlanC9]

The only difference between a Critcal Mission Failure and any other game state is that the game stops.

[Vazgen]

Refuse is as much a choice as dead Shepard. You have to avoid loyalty missions and assign wrong squadmates during the Suicide Mission. All of these are choices the player makes. It is not shown as a Critical Mission Failure, much like Refuse.

No it's not a chocie if you don't know it prior.

[ZoliCs]

Saying Refuse is not canon is just a baseless assumption. You have no proof, you have no offical statment. It's just your wishful thinking...

Well, if we go by fan theories, the Indoctrination Theory comes to mind since it sets all four endings on the same plane. 

[Vazgen]

The game constantly beats you over the head with it. But if you want to view it that way, is shooting the Catalyst something that player knows prior?

IT would only work if your playing as Shepard again

[Vazgen]

Nah, you can play an Alliance marine who sees Shepard indoctrinated and fights him, boards the Citadel and disables Reaper shields so that the Allied fleets all over the galaxy blow them up

Why?  That story is over and done with.  This is a new story.  Why should prior outcomes have any sway over it?

[Hanako Ikezawa]

ZoliCs never put limitations on the story. They just asked for an example of a story that can take place after ME3 and account for all the endings. 

[LinksOcarina]

No it shouldn't, I agree.

Ending the trilogy and moving to another galaxy is not the same thing,you know.

GoT spin off on another planet would be rediculous. And GoT has dragons and "winter" guys.

[ZoliCs]

Can you guys stop with these ridiculous hyperboles. Intergalactic travel is possible in the ME lore. Is colonizing another planet possible in GoT or Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? **** no.

Not at the current tech level it's not.  

[Kabooooom]

Well, except by the Reapers.

[Iakus]

They might (might) be able to reach Andromeda on their own.  But carrying passengers? Unlikely, to say the least.

[Arcian]

Well, except by the Reapers.

Not even the Reapers.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Well, except by the Reapers.

Our cycle isn't at the Reaper's tier of technology.
