In fact, I love that Saturday morning/He-Man/Power Rangers feeling. I love that in Star Wars the good guys are all kids at heart who find a simple childlike thrill in WHOOP!ing and hollering as they speed through space. Humans in star wars aren't quite the same as humans in our universe. They're big kids, fighting for all the joy and optimism and freedom of an idealized childhood. I bet a mass effect style game with the tone and aesthetics of Mario World would probably be intensely popular. That's not exactly what I want but that is just to say that I don't get the intense NEED some gamers have for every title to be grimdark. I like the tone they struck in Andromeda. Closer to Guardians of the Galaxy than - well - Mass Effect 3 and I wouldn't mind to see Mass Effect go further in that direction.
I also wouldn't mind to see it go in the direction of like Alien: Covenant or name-whatever-dark-space-RPG you want. As far as a Mass Effect reboot - don't do it. Just give us a sequel to Andromeda that is actually good.

Did they say what they would have done differently? Honestly I don't remember. It was an interview with Mac Walters between ME2 and ME3, where he admits that ending the game on a mission where everyone including Shepard could die, turned out to be a "What the hell were we thinking?" moment.
Ironic, given what they did with ME3...
I read a post on the old form from a poster that said Patrick Weekes mentioned about having all squadmates survive. And another post from someone that Bioware chose not to have T'soni and A/K as squadmates in ME2 because they wanted them alive for ME3. How true those posts are, I don't know. You posted "What the hell were we thinking" could be applied to what Walters said in 2016 when said the ME3 ending could have been better. I wonder if Hudson would agree with him? Not really. To me it was good motivation to do the mission right and learn. Regarding ME3 imo anyone who expected a happy ending without sacrifice was deluding themselves. I knew he/she would die in the end way back from ME1. Too bad the player didn't get more of a say as to what the sacrifice was, given this was a series that supposedly celebrated choice.
But that's a years-old debate, and I at least have learned to be less trusting of Bioware's promises.
Yep. I even made a thread about letting Shepard have another choice before choosing whatever ending.

BUT if you want to have a reboot, the main thing I would change would be this idea of a "grand narrative" in every game. I could do without another story of another titanic struggle between Army A and Army B struggling over the fat of The Universe. I'd like a Mass Effect game similar in tone to Uncharted. A game about treasure hunting that resists the temptation to tell a story about the fate of the world or ancient evils. It tells a personal story of sibling rivalry, marriage, personal obsession, growing up in your 30s. The story has important implications for the characters involved, but not the world or society at large. I like the sound of that for a Mass Effect reboot. Maybe one where we follow a starship of rogues and outlaws, swearing allegiance to no Army or Society. Maybe they're looking for a lost planet, or lost treasure or trying to solve their captain's murder. Whatever it is, I just hope the universe isn't at stake.

Well You are right about that The Dark Citadel is a fandom idea. what is floating in my head that Dark Space where Dark Citadel exist, is a Eldritch Location that exist outside of time how we look at time itself but can be access thru a trans-dimensonal device that is on the Citadel in Normal Space and Vanguard Reaper Like Sovereign and other reapers. A Trait I would add to the Reapers is a passive connection to the Dark Space via Dark Citadel gateway. I would have the new PC cutting off the Reapers from rest of the universe and keeping them in Dark Space in which I would treat it as a Pocket Universe. Make sense, the place where the Reapers hibernate in dark space after each harvest. You know they could pull the Catalyst thing again. this is just me, it(the Catalyst) seems like an asspull due to the lack of build up within Mass Effect 1 and 2. With my idea as is, having Reapers working within a very evil/dark effective version of the Council or Real world U.N. and having Harbringer as their master/leader and having Sovereign as a important ally of Harbringer. And I would have a transition from Shepard to New Un-Sung Hero. This un-sung hero could be anyone that we don't expect to be a hero in a traditional sense. For Example an Un-traditional Mass Effect Hero would be a Cerberus Phantom. Well Remember in Multi-Player and Single Player when a Cerberus Phantom flanks you either gets a good hit on you or a pain in the ass sync kill. Imagine Playing As one that is just as dangerous as the NPC counterparts. I would re-arrange the Story that ME3 will not have the Second Coming of the Sith Empire Via Cerberus but having a much smaller sensible Cerberus Story that is respectful towards ME:Retribution that Cerberus took a Massive Personal and Credit hit by the Turians by leaks by Sanders and Anderson. Having Reaper Sleeper Agents within every factions including STG, Krogans, Turians, Asari and other Factions within Council and Non Council Space. Yes I will still have Human from various factions as Reaper Sleeper Agents slowing Shepard down a great deal. Within this Reboot, having the Player having more exposure to Henry Lawson and other leaders within the Mass Effect and having more than one of them become a willing ally of the Reapers. I would avoid the Human are special tvtrope but keep the Humans are Jack of all trades tvtropes. for balance, Asari are better at biotics, Krogans and Turians are better soldiers, Quarians are better engineers and tech specialists and volus are better bankers.

Maybe they're looking for a lost planet, or lost treasure or trying to solve their captain's murder. Whatever it is, I just hope the universe isn't at stake. I like small scale stories, but I feel that with something like Mass Effect, there’s a point where scaling down the story to such a degree could really be a waste of its setting. I think that with Mass Effect, affecting society to some degree is kind of necessary, because it’s a big volatile galaxy of factions with opposing agendas. Like, I wouldn’t want to be in a Mass Effect game where the nemesis was basically just some minor baddie that for some reason eludes us for 30+ hours of gameplay. I’d really prefer something to the scale of, say, Firefly, where the protagonist is against a corrupt, overreaching entity. It affects society, but not in a cataclysmic way. It’s something that can be big without shaking the entire universe. If The Sinister Company LLC is destroyed by our heroes, it won’t leave some massive crater in the world state, but it’d feel big enough and allow the narrative to stretch across at least some expanse of the galaxy. But, because any such game is always going to be a bit nonlinear with its fair share of tangents and companion quests, we can get multiple of those smaller stories lined up in there as well.

If there was a New Mass effect game, if there was a good story, would you consider a Cerberus Phantom, Cerberus Engineer and Cerberus Nemesis as an Anti hero team?
Cerberus Phantom: Quiet One and the Leader Of Trio and the PC. (either gender, can roleplay either paragon, renegade or blend)
Cerberus Engineer: Very Loud Scottish Engineer with a claymore shotgun and heavy Cerberus Turret.
Cerberus Nemesis: a notorious teaser with a fondness of the M-55 Argus and M-37 Falcon

If it was something like the Empire in SW then it would’ve been something different, but these guys are thralls.

If it was something like the Empire in SW then it would’ve been something different, but these guys are thralls. Well with my take, it will start with more of a soft reboot from Cerberus Phantom's POV. Remember the Grandfather from the stargazer scene that details have changed over time. well I am keeping the 5th column idea that Bioware tried with Cerberus. Instead of Cerberus or relying on One faction that joins the Reaper, having sleeper agents from all factions screwing over their respective factions similar how the Indoctrinated Hanar sidequest you as Shepard could start and finish within ME3. Also keep in mind that I do think it is un reasonable to have Cerberus as stupidly big within ME3 where the running joke becomes that they are the Second Coming of the Sith Empire Via Cerberus via Keystone cops. I don't know if you read Mass effect: Retribution, Cerberus did take a money and personal hit due to Sanders and Anderson calling in the Turians on several Cerberus bases. and T.I.M. pays Aria a massive amount of money to get mercenaries to get his bases back. Combination of Resources, Money and Personal hits, Having a sensible storyline for Cerberus regardless how indoctrinated they became. Well some of the elements of ME3 that I will keep that Reapers hit the galaxy hard and faster and brutal. Shepard gathering Allies to make a superweapon. Reaper Sleeper Agents slowing Shepard and Company down a great deal. As much as I like T.I.M. he will be killed off regardless. I do have a rough Draft of right now ME1: Cerberus Phantom CP meets the Engineer and Nemesis due to a batarian terrorist attack on the citadel. they find out the batarians squad had ties to an Asari Engineer. Asari somehow pins the attack on the humans. jumping down the rabbit hole, how batarians squad tied into a Turian Spec-ops officer, Asari engineer with a massive ego and a volus and those people tied to Saren and his plots. And Batarian leader confess everything with evidences backing Saren as their boss. Returning to the Citadel and CP and others in his group notices that Shepard and his entire group fighting bravely against Geth, Krogan and Husk Forces and ulimately Saren and Sovereign. Cerberus Phantom and Shepard will notice each other and work with each other from different angles during the assault. Your group is fighting a Reaper Construct and its guardian while Shepard and his company is fighting Saren and his forces. Well Henry Lawson will have exposure for the player to see. Keeping in line with his highly narcisstic nature and see why Miranda escape from him. but striving to build his reputation up in a positive light with both humans and Aliens. Henry is talking to Harbringer in a Collector form. ME2: Cerberus Phantom The Cerberus Phantom and his group rescue an badly injured Shepard from the Collector with the Suicide Mission Music playing in the background. In Short, Collectors did hurt Shepard badly while they tried to put him into one of the stasis pods. Shepard kill many collectors before they put him into stasis. of course it does end when you get shepard to Miranda and give her Cerberus Data on other super soldier projects to improve Shepard inorder to fight the Collectors. and before during and after events of ME2, Cerberus Phantom runs inference for Cerberus and take down many mercenary bands and find their ties to the Collectors. Remember the Vorcha Storyline within Omega and their implied ties to the Collectors, Now take that logic and expanding to a logical height for story and game mechanic. Also learning about Paragons and Collectors connections and Paragons happily betrays Humanity and its colonies. well During the Turian attacks as mention within the Mass Effect: Retribution, Cerberus Phantom and his entire cell barely escapes the Turians Spec-ops teams will be the ending of that. Henry Lawson will be seen talking to a Turian leader about captured Cerberus Cells and suggest that he would use them as test subjects due to this turian leader has a intense hatred of Cerberus, moreso than your average turian. So they cut a Deal. Thus laying the Ground work for Sanctuary within ME3 for the Reaper Husks. Henry will be seen with a Black Talon Leader and a Paragon of Our Kind and an Siari Priestess and talking about discrediting the System Alliance and making themselves look like heroes when the Reapers come. ME3: Cerberus Phantom Staying low from various enemies while hunting Reaper Sleeper Agents from various factions while looking what happen to rest of Cerberus and strives to save them from Reaper Sleeper Agents and if possible recover from Turians and Henry Lawson's plans. Learning the Connections between Paragons, Collectors, Black Talons and Certain elements of Siari Religion. Finding the Corpse of T.I.M. at Sanctuary and finding an Holo-mask that Henry to mess and delay Shepard. Also finds the bodies of Shepard's SR-2 Cerberus members NPCs as well as other Cerberus members have been tested on and tortured. Fighting Husks versions of all different species ranging from Vorcha, Drell, Yagh, Elcor, New Turian Variants, Quarians, and other creepy combination that will give even the most hardcore nightmare fuel fans the chills. Goes to Earth during the Assault, Fighting Indoctrinated Alliance forces(imagine fighting the all of the N7 of the ME3 MP Earth DLC) and witnessing the Death of all of Shepard's team mates and see them converting into Husk. Also Seeing Javik getting converting into a new Collector General by Harbringer. Also goes up the beam and watch Shepard and Anderson bravely fight against Husks sent by Harbringer. Anderson dies violently. Barely rescuing Shepard, Shepard tells Cerberus Phantom about a hidden project goes into dark space. Shepard dies in Cerberus Phantom's arms. Cerberus Phantom drags Shepard's body before Harbringer can use it for Reaper Construction. Launches Shepard's body into a Star. Cerberus Phantom and others goes into cryo sleep for a few centuries. ME4: Cerberus Phantom Well Waking up in an unknown amount of time and locate all of the elements of shepard's dark space conduit. Realizing that Henry Lawson declare himself a God Emperor of galaxy with the help of the Reapers. well During this, that Cerberus Phantom takes down several leaders within The New God-Emperor's regime and perfects and builds Shepard's Dark Space Conduit and travels to Dark Citadel within Dark Space. And epic boss battle with Harbringer at the Dark Citadel and says, "this is for shepard and others that dies fighting you." Enough damage to the Dark Citadel's core to cut Reapers from normal Space forever. Cerberus Phantom will have the option to stay and fight the Reapers forever or go home before Dark Citadel blows up

Cerberus Phantom will have the option to stay and fight the Reapers forever or go home before Dark Citadel blows up You definitely put a lot of thought into that and it’s not terrible. It’s just not for me at all. I don’t want a series focused on Cerberus.

I would like it to be set in a completely different universe, with different gameplay and a different name.

Well with my take, it will start with more of a soft reboot from Cerberus Phantom's POV. Remember the Grandfather from the stargazer scene that details have changed over time. well I am keeping the 5th column idea that Bioware tried with Cerberus. Instead of Cerberus or relying on One faction that joins the Reaper, having sleeper agents from all factions screwing over their respective factions similar how the Indoctrinated Hanar sidequest you as Shepard could start and finish within ME3. Also keep in mind that I do think it is un reasonable to have Cerberus as stupidly big within ME3 where the running joke becomes that they are the Second Coming of the Sith Empire Via Cerberus via Keystone cops. I don't know if you read Mass effect: Retribution, Cerberus did take a money and personal hit due to Sanders and Anderson calling in the Turians on several Cerberus bases. and T.I.M. pays Aria a massive amount of money to get mercenaries to get his bases back. Combination of Resources, Money and Personal hits, Having a sensible storyline for Cerberus regardless how indoctrinated they became. Well some of the elements of ME3 that I will keep that Reapers hit the galaxy hard and faster and brutal. Shepard gathering Allies to make a superweapon. Reaper Sleeper Agents slowing Shepard and Company down a great deal. As much as I like T.I.M. he will be killed off regardless. I do have a rough Draft of right now ME1: Cerberus Phantom CP meets the Engineer and Nemesis due to a batarian terrorist attack on the citadel. they find out the batarians squad had ties to an Asari Engineer. Asari somehow pins the attack on the humans. jumping down the rabbit hole, how batarians squad tied into a Turian Spec-ops officer, Asari engineer with a massive ego and a volus and those people tied to Saren and his plots. And Batarian leader confess everything with evidences backing Saren as their boss. Returning to the Citadel and CP and others in his group notices that Shepard and his entire group fighting bravely against Geth, Krogan and Husk Forces and ulimately Saren and Sovereign. Cerberus Phantom and Shepard will notice each other and work with each other from different angles during the assault. Your group is fighting a Reaper Construct and its guardian while Shepard and his company is fighting Saren and his forces. Well Henry Lawson will have exposure for the player to see. Keeping in line with his highly narcisstic nature and see why Miranda escape from him. but striving to build his reputation up in a positive light with both humans and Aliens. Henry is talking to Harbringer in a Collector form. ME2: Cerberus Phantom The Cerberus Phantom and his group rescue an badly injured Shepard from the Collector with the Suicide Mission Music playing in the background. In Short, Collectors did hurt Shepard badly while they tried to put him into one of the stasis pods. Shepard kill many collectors before they put him into stasis. of course it does end when you get shepard to Miranda and give her Cerberus Data on other super soldier projects to improve Shepard inorder to fight the Collectors. and before during and after events of ME2, Cerberus Phantom runs inference for Cerberus and take down many mercenary bands and find their ties to the Collectors. Remember the Vorcha Storyline within Omega and their implied ties to the Collectors, Now take that logic and expanding to a logical height for story and game mechanic. Also learning about Paragons and Collectors connections and Paragons happily betrays Humanity and its colonies. well During the Turian attacks as mention within the Mass Effect: Retribution, Cerberus Phantom and his entire cell barely escapes the Turians Spec-ops teams will be the ending of that. Henry Lawson will be seen talking to a Turian leader about captured Cerberus Cells and suggest that he would use them as test subjects due to this turian leader has a intense hatred of Cerberus, moreso than your average turian. So they cut a Deal. Thus laying the Ground work for Sanctuary within ME3 for the Reaper Husks. Henry will be seen with a Black Talon Leader and a Paragon of Our Kind and an Siari Priestess and talking about discrediting the System Alliance and making themselves look like heroes when the Reapers come. ME3: Cerberus Phantom Staying low from various enemies while hunting Reaper Sleeper Agents from various factions while looking what happen to rest of Cerberus and strives to save them from Reaper Sleeper Agents and if possible recover from Turians and Henry Lawson's plans. Learning the Connections between Paragons, Collectors, Black Talons and Certain elements of Siari Religion. Finding the Corpse of T.I.M. at Sanctuary and finding an Holo-mask that Henry to mess and delay Shepard. Also finds the bodies of Shepard's SR-2 Cerberus members NPCs as well as other Cerberus members have been tested on and tortured. Fighting Husks versions of all different species ranging from Vorcha, Drell, Yagh, Elcor, New Turian Variants, Quarians, and other creepy combination that will give even the most hardcore nightmare fuel fans the chills. Goes to Earth during the Assault, Fighting Indoctrinated Alliance forces(imagine fighting the all of the N7 of the ME3 MP Earth DLC) and witnessing the Death of all of Shepard's team mates and see them converting into Husk. Also Seeing Javik getting converting into a new Collector General by Harbringer. Also goes up the beam and watch Shepard and Anderson bravely fight against Husks sent by Harbringer. Anderson dies violently. Barely rescuing Shepard, Shepard tells Cerberus Phantom about a hidden project goes into dark space. Shepard dies in Cerberus Phantom's arms. Cerberus Phantom drags Shepard's body before Harbringer can use it for Reaper Construction. Launches Shepard's body into a Star. Cerberus Phantom and others goes into cryo sleep for a few centuries. ME4: Cerberus Phantom Well Waking up in an unknown amount of time and locate all of the elements of shepard's dark space conduit. Realizing that Henry Lawson declare himself a God Emperor of galaxy with the help of the Reapers. well During this, that Cerberus Phantom takes down several leaders within The New God-Emperor's regime and perfects and builds Shepard's Dark Space Conduit and travels to Dark Citadel within Dark Space. And epic boss battle with Harbringer at the Dark Citadel and says, "this is for shepard and others that dies fighting you." Enough damage to the Dark Citadel's core to cut Reapers from normal Space forever. Cerberus Phantom will have the option to stay and fight the Reapers forever or go home before Dark Citadel blows up You definitely put a lot of thought into that and it’s not terrible. It’s just not for me at all. I don’t want a series focused on Cerberus. well thank you. Keep it mind regardless of factions or galaxy, Bioware needs more thought within Future Mass Effect games to make them better. For Example, to make Andromeda more attractive with more believable character development like Ryder becoming a better leader compare how he was in ME:Andromeda 1. there is nothing wrong with humor and a good part of character development is a good sense of improving sense of humor. Bugs and Animation testing the entire development will be a must, less we make memes out of them.

No thanks. When I want to play a game like that I’ll play Tomb Raider. I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with you on this. So do I if I want to play a game abou treasuer hunmting I'll boot Tomb Raider up. I'd rather that be kept out of ME

bugs will break any games. Sensible Character growth is a good thing. I don't see Ryder betraying Nexus or leaving his or her duty as PathFinder willy nilly. Mass Genocide is a good reason of a non hostile alien race might be a good reason to betray the Nexus Leadership and replace them with less ethical challenged people. Also I don't see either Ryder willing join the Kett on their conquest as is.
I do see Ryder maturing as leader as a Pathfinder and earning the respect of the population of the Nexus, the Nexus Leadership and their Andromeda allies. I do like to see more Andromeda races hearing Ryder and others exploits and search them out either as Enemies or potential allies against the Kett. More Level head-ness with some elements of ME:A1 Ryder would be ideal. Coming to terms with Alec Ryder's death will be a must
Learning about Remant will be must if they are staying with the Andromeda.
For shits and giggles, someone say, "I AM KROGAN." it will be funnier if a non Krogan said it.

I'd like them to continue the MEA story. The setting is interesting. Introduce an alien race or two, ramp up the Scourge/Remnant, etc...

In this scenario, I'd like to see other races under siege by the kett and combining forces with the AI. This would give us new forms of kett (from the attacked races) as well as new aliens that could help create the beginnings of a new galactic society. And it would be even better if the asari discovered they could not "embrace eternity" with Andromeda races - at least not in a way that leads to procreation. That would make them more dependent on MW races, especially since they would avoid mating with other asari to prevent the rise of new Ardat-Yakshi.

Interesting you bring up the asari embracing eternity or as I like to call it, embrace Javik. What if in a reboot the turians and salarians release the genophage on the asari to prevent them from mating with other species?
