If Mass Effect gets another game, what would you want?

It has to be a sequel to Andromeda with Ryder and Jaal or I'm just not sure I would be interested at this point. You can't just keep rebooting a series and expect good results.  sometimes you have to work with what ya got and make things better as you go.

Really don't want a prequel set before Reaper invasion.

I wouldn't be completely opposed to seeing Shep ride again. That said i really don't see how it could happen given the divergent endings & i'd be even more worried about the game reflecting my character and his relationships than i was about ME3.

The notion of completely ignoring the ME3 endings sends alarm bells ringing in my head, so that's not an option i'm very supportive of.

I enjoyed Andromeda. Ryder certainly seemed a rather imperfect creation but i wouldn't be opposed to seeing him/her return facing more challenges in that Universe.

Seems very wasteful to return to Andromeda and ditch the work in progress character(ryder) for a completely new one.

My ideal Mass Effect game at this point would have to be in the design of a classic RPG (isometric, walls of texts etc) based in the milky way before the Reaper invasion. Hell, show us what happened before Shepard. Turn based or real time with pause -- hell, why not both?

I really hope the developers see this and take a hint. Complete the story, give us a sequel.

Yup constantly rebooting would be a mistake. We don't want games to take a page from the Hollywood playbook.

This is a rough draft only. You play as a human that deals with the other species's racism towards human that is implied within the ME Trilogy. Like how many turians like Saren hated humanity. Also Well dealing Political parties similar to Terra Firma(anti alien slant) and More Pro Alien Human political parties that prefers to take a much slower and less aggressive approach to increasing their terrorities and influence while working with Alien governments(ranging from Batarians to Turians to Asari to Salarians) to gain acceptance from them.

Your character will be one of the Original Cerberus Phantoms similar to Kai Leng of ME3. And you have to deal with rogue humans and aliens that want to screw with the System Alliance out of power thru various means and all of them have their motivations.

My ideas are con current to ME2 to 600 years con current with MEA. Yes there will be a plotline involving cryo storage on one of Cerberus bases for you and your squad and rest of Cerberus personals and other people you rescued.

Also Harry Lawson will have more exposure as a Characters. Also he develops more of a Master Manipulator aspect to him and work with Padorum(a new Reaper that holds the secrets to StarbBrat) and Harbringer. He would be hidden Big Bad of this New Mass Effect Trilogy. He would be leaking false Information to Liara.

Players will learn the Sad Truth of the fates of Shepard, Anderson and T.I.M.. Well it will be a rage inducing moment that you will have an option to have your P.C. to rage out completely due to that Henry Lawson kills them all in a sneak attack and there is a Video Feed of him killing them. Realizing there was no Star Brat but the Reapers tricking everyone to fight each other while they harvest everyone.

Henry would have indoctrinated Liara completely and using her a sex slave. Henry has his life extended by the Reapers and having him as a Proxy Leader similar to Wallace Breen of Half Life 2. He will be in charge of the Citadel and the rest of the galaxy and using political system and poplulation control to keep the people in check. Keeping the Asari on Top of the Food Chain, then Turians and Salarians on second tier with plenty of power then the Batarian on third tier with their terrorities in check and taken over the System Alliance's terrorities as well.

If you have been following on the thread "What would you add in the ME Trilogy?" You will notice I will mention Paragon of Our Kind in some shape or form. Well I am re using it as a means to keep the Human numbers in check to keep them more sparse this time and they would happily give heretics aka any humans that don't agree with them or Citadel rule over them to the Reapers.

Of course There will be Plenty of Reapers, Geth, Mercs and Pirates. Also Yes I would happily add at least 2 battles against Harbringer. then at least 1 battle against Padorum. More Reaper Husk Variety, including some of the Fan additions. There was a nice Quarian Reaper Husk, an Elcor/Volus Reaper Husk combination, a Pure Krogan Husk. of course I would increase the Size of the Reaper brute to even bigger sizes and able to crush buildings and blow thru walls.

[personal preference here]
if i think back on what factions i enjoyed "fighting" the most it was mercs in ME2 . I hated Geth , and aliens so far have just been equally boring , except Harbinger talking smack maybe.

so, whatever , wherever and whenever .. i want mercs.

I'm certainly not opposed to playing a sequel as Ryder, but the above is what I prefer.

Absolutely stay in Andromeda.  Continue the plot threads already established.  Shep's story is finished.  Milky Way prequels or side-stories have potential, but that feels like backtracking and I'd rather keep moving forward.

And really, it's kind of a no-brainer. Every single person other than the squad you came with is an enemy you're probably going to kill, and he's repairing one of their gunships. It's no different from reprogramming the YMIR mech to turn on the gang that owns it. You do what you gotta do to make sure the enemy fails.

and that is why BW must never ever listen to fans. None will ever agree on anything under the sun.
