ME3 sequel

They need to pick nothing. Just follow the Mankind Divided way of handling the endings, make them aside from refuse not that important, honestly - I don't really care. I just want to see what made Mass Effect, the setting, back. Use some "Keep", system to gather the choices, or none. Maybe some huge time gap to move technology even more forward for new gameplay possibilities. It will piss some people off, but for real, any new ME will at this point. MEA just didn't sell the new setting for many, I'm sure most prefer the MW. The possibilities are endless. The Jaardan could have even be used in some area of the MW than Andromeda.

Bioware shouldn't have a sequel for ME3 unless they plan on canonizing an ending which will cause an uproar.

Retconning the endings to the point where they're meaningless is hardly a way to respect people's choices. Might as well canonize something.

Bioware could make a brand new dlc for the end of ME3 that would change it all. You know what I'm talking about...

Yeah. I don't care if people get pissy about it. They should pick Destroy as the canon ending and build a sequel 100 years after that. Destroy leaves the galaxy in a state that's easily writeable--reapers are destroyed, no organic-synehtic life.

I have always disliked the idea of Mass Effect moving to a different galaxy. There's just way too much history built into the Milky Way to do just drop it all.

Mix and match the endings  Some Reapers were destroyed, while others rule a section of the galaxy, tending their organic "pets".  Cults of Council races who claim to have achieved "synthesis" with the Reapers, whom many treat with suspicion (creepy green-eyed traitors!), but they can perform miraculous feats.  Or have the Crucible do something other than RGB (reprogram the Reapers, break them free from the Catalyst, make them return to dark space and go dormant for another 50,000 years, etc)  

The difference is that they can fix it. The same can't be said for ME3's endings.

I wanna stay in Andromeda, at least for one more game. Then return to the Milky Way. Hell we could just go to the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Mass Effect: Magellan. I remember Mac Walters saying Andromeda wasn't the start of a new trilogy. Perhaps the very unlikely to get made ME:A2 can take place ten years down the road with a new protagonist.
They could write Mass Effect 4, all you would have to do is have a simple pick your galaxy state option: Destroy, Control, Synthesis. Destroy the relays are rebuilt and Reapers dead with a crazed side quest type faction trying to rebuild them, right? Control someone can make an offhand comment about Shepard and the Reapers being friendly. Synthesis? Our green stuff faded over time. We adapted woohoo! That's it.
Introduce wormholes, who knows where we'll end up!? Probably somewhere in Half Life 3.

Of course you can. It still a lot of potential.

This is what needs to happen. Fuck Andromeda, Mass Effect belongs in the Milky Way. Bioware need to bite the bullet and create a canon for the OT so they can move forward and keep expanding the universe. I don't know why everyone is so averse to this? If they make a series of events canon, why would that bother you so much? You can't say "ooohh but what about the choices I made, what about my story?" - shut the fuck up. You made your choices in the OT, and then the OT finished. It's a self contained story. Is your life really going to end if the choices you made don't end up being canon? Would it really prevent you from enjoying a sequel?

As long as the devs knew what they were doing and did it right, it's the best option.

The victory against the Reapers was a pyrrhic one, everyone will be too busy rebuilding Dresden-level ruins to notice a species of Shadow Brokers carving out an interstellar empire in their corner of the galaxy.



The Milky Way =//= Shepard.

As Minos once said, "Bullshit!"

ME3's ending snafu is easily fixed by ignoring RGB and simply stating in the intro text crawl of the new game that the Crucible defeated the Reapers, and leave it at that. No dead synthetics, no living Reapers+Shepard AI and no glowy green shit. It's not like they would import any ME3 choices anyway.

Also, BioWare making Leliana's survival canon in DAI was waaaay more egregious than ignoring RGB, but nobody really gave a shit about that, did they? They were just happy to play a new Dragon Age game.

I doubt any sane player is going to bemoan the ME3 endings being non-canon if they can revisit the Citadel, Earth, Tuchanka, Noveria, Eden Prime, etc, and see what have happened to these places since the cycle of destruction was broken.
