ME3 sequel

Me4 should be ME3 with Conrad showing up on the Citadel in a DeLorean warning Shepard about the Crucible.

ME3 sequel involves Indoctrination Theory, or canonizing one of the endings. Both aspects are undesirable. Remaster the trilogy, and rewrite half of ME3 (The Cerberus Empire, Udina Coup of Lulz, Kai freaking Leng, Geth Pinocchio syndrome, etc.).

Technically, there are an infinite number of retcons available. Your proposal and IT are only two of them.

As long as we're retconning anyway, I don't see the advantage of such a vague retcon. (Well, unless you're a stealth MEHEM fan and you're trying to smuggle that in as canon.)

So if we have no Shep, then what do people want?
New places to explore with the old Milky Way races, and maybe one or two new ones?

How is that not ME:A?

Or do we just want to re-tred the same old places and things?

What has that got to do with what I posted?

But it hits at the double standard that is, we want to goto another galaxy to explore new things and put the MW in the past cause "those stories are told"....but we are fine with having majority MW races....in a "new" galaxy.

Having the cake and eating it to.

The existence of the choice is canon for any Shepard. You're retconning that, no?



I actually have no idea what you mean by "contempt for the Milky Way." Can you elaborate? For the record, my preferred ME3 sequel was always set in a post-Destroy continuity with the relays still inoperative. We actually had a pretty good thread about this on the old boards. I liked the idea of a timeframe something like 800 years after ME3, so Liara could return as a sort of Kreia. Geth destroyed at Rannoch so CanonShep wasn't responsible. All known Citadel races preserved in the Sol area as descendants of the combined fleet personnel. And so forth. I think we flirted with the idea of having the Conduit technology be mastered, so you could step from the ship to theCitadel, though you probably would need strict limits on that.

And remember, I don't have your problems, so why your solutions work isn't going to be immediately obvious to me. Again, what's the advantage of a vague retcon over a specific retcon? What problem are you solving?

The advantage is every player can decide for themselves how ME3 ended.

Because the Milky Way still had an entire relay network to explore as well as 99% of the galaxy untapped.  It would not take a ridiculous  breakthrough in technology that somehow ONLY affected the Andromeda Initiative and not the galaxy as a whole to make that happen.



How is exploring some of the 100,000,000,000 stars in the Milky Way galaxy "re-treading the same old places and things" again?

And thats fine, but why bring 9 MW races and only have 2 Andromeda races?

You talk about new mysteries but yet the games ending doeant hint at a strange transmission from some mysterious/unheard of race/civilization....instead it hints at MW races coming.

People want to explore new things but despite seemingly being annoyed with people wanting to go back to the MW, they seem pretty content with the slew of MW races in a non MW galaxy.



Having the cake and eating it to.

People have a hard time understanding this.

Even 1% isn't really accurate.

Less than 1% of the Milky Way galaxy has been explored at all! Shepard certainly hasn't visited every world, or even every system that has been charted!
