The company will be based here in NC. It will be an extremely large building where all operation will happen in this location. Not sure what name I would give it. Space Hamster Inc, Bioware 2.0? I will have a 50 foot statue of Harbinger at the entrance of the building. ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL. I would hire all former Bioware employees. As an incentive, I would double their salary of what they're currently making. And yes, I would hire Walters. We will come up with a story we want to do. Go through everything that we want. What characters do we want in the game etc, etc. I would even have an idea on how the story to the main character ends. I would hire former military personal who recently got out of the military. They will help with designing weapons. Mods for weapons. Suggestions for armor. Give ideas for missions when engaging the enemy. Even weekend warriors can apply if they're interested. I would get rid of the frostbite engine and upgrade to the Hemi engine. Get it? We use an engine that is the most user friendly that will give the best results possible. There will be no books/comics/cartoons. When hiring a person, for whatever position, they will be paid 10% higher than the highest paid person of the same position at other companies. There will be a minimum of 3 years to get a game released. If it takes longer, fine. I believe 5 would be the longest amount of time needed , if its needed. This way personal don't have to work 80-90 hours a week to get the game out. I want everyone relaxed and focused. The company will has its own plane. So when its time to go to E3, drive to the hangar where the plane is at, and off you go. If the game sells 1 million copies, everyone gets a bonus. 5 million, a bigger bonus and so on. This will include VA's. They will get a bonus. I like to have the same composers that did the trilogy I would like to hire John Paul Jones, and hopefully get Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Bonhan's(RIP) son. They will be responsible for writing the music for the trailers of the game that will be released. If they're not available, I would ask Ozzy Osbourne. excellent. When hiring VA's I want everyone. From someone with a high pitched voice to one with a low quiet voice. I want people with all kinds of accents. If hired, that person will have their face scanned. Their face will be what the character will look like in the game. He/she will be that character. Obviously that will only work if they're voicing a human. If that person chooses not to have their face scanned, that's fine. Its their voice that is needed. The other thing is that persons body type will apply to the character. Only if they allow it. They can refuse. When it comes to the two who voice the main character, their face will be the default . Hire several folks to concentrate on the character creator. The female character will be able to have long hair. If military, she will have her hair up when on a missions and can have it down in between missions. When walking see her hair bouncing. For the male, have the option to have a hairy chest/body. Maybe have a scene where the male character is seen shaving because he has a heavy beard. I'm sure I could go on, but........ One last thing. If possible, I would try to get the rights to DA. rewrite the trilogy sequel to ME3 with Shepard returning sequel to MEA with Cerberus having a role. They're building a relay that will link back to the Milky Way. Cora will become TID. I will expand on the above If the trilogy is redone, I would also redo MEA. I won't get into details, but here's a few things that would happen. ME1- both A/K will survive Virtmire ME2 - the collectors will be a large side mission while the main mission will focus on getting to darkspace ME3 - finding a way to destroy Harbinger to stop the harvest If its decided to have a sequel to ME3 with Shepard, I would remove the whole part from when Shepard passes out on the Citadel. Shepard will travel to darkspace, revisit Cronos, meet Jana, who will reveal a lot of information, some about the Andromeda Initiative, and possibly talk with Leviathan again. For those who don't know who Jana is, she is the one seen talking with TIM in the video log on Cronos. If there is a sequel to MEA, without redoing the trilogy, the only thing I would change is at the end, When Ryder walks around talking to everyone, Cora is missing. Someone will say that he/she saw Cora receive a message and left without saying a word. The sequel will take place a short time after the events of MEA.

Again, CDPR has been around for less time than BioWare, and has only made three games. Flops are inevitable, not every title can be a success, and one day the people who are praising CDPR so highly will turn on it just as viciously as they've turned on BioWare. Well after 3 games and a hit Gwent game, CDPR hasnt flopped yet and given the endorsement by Mike Pondsmith, there is more assurance that CDPR is on the right track with Cyberpunk 2077. ....and again, CDPR making a ME game would be huge news. In fact, I would go as far as to saying a CDPR making a ME game would generate more buzz than Bioware making a MEA2. The only thing I see flopping is the Netflix Witcher series and that has less to do with CDPR.

Well after 3 games and a hit Gwent game, CDPR hasnt flopped yet and given the endorsement by Mike Pondsmith, there is more assurance that CDPR is on the right track with Cyberpunk 2077. DISCLAIMERS: I agree that CDPR taking over the ME franchise would be huge news, and I also hope that you are right and CDPR keeps hitting homers, I wish them nothing but the best. BUT Statistics, the rise/fall pattern of other media-centric companies, and the incredibly high bar they set with TW3 that have set expectations (like yours) unrealistically high, argues against CDPR continuing with their perfect batting average. I think it's much more likely that TW3 was the peak and we're now in the decline of the lifecycle curve. It might be a long, slow curve, punctuated with some high points (local maxima), so it's not like the end of the world. It just seems unrealistic to expect them to continue to top themselves, or even match themselves, after TW3. BUT, you might be right, and maybe CDPR will be the Barry Bonds of all media. It's not impossible, just highly improbable. BTW, TW1 wasn't actually that good. A triple, at best (continuing with the baseball metaphors).

Continue development of MEA DLC, making sure to make fun of every dumb meme that spawned on release.
That includes the player character saying "my face is tired" ever time she wins a fight.

Money no object? 2 options:
1. A sequel in the milky-way galaxy post Reaper invasion. No Shepard here, if so, meet him like Hawke in DA:I style. No canonized ending, game changing according to the ending choice. Dark energy based plot, think Haestrom's sun. Maybe create links between neighbouring galaxies (not Andromeda).
2. MEA2. This time with higher stakes: Zerg swarm or Grey goo type of enemy. Extreme technological advancement, this is a Reaperless galaxy, I would let the imagination run wild on this one. At least make the Kett genetic research actually come up with extremely powerful (and big) abominations.

If money was no issue, I would make a Quadology. 4 games with an story to it
(put your favorite joke about DeathScepter's fandom of Cerberus)
Mass Effect fantasy game 1: 1) It does place a few weeks after ME1, your character is a no one from Earth with some combat training(ranging from basic gun work to martial arts training) and a friend visit an area of the Citadel where there is a bunch of alien not much humans. You see a Scotsman talking to an out of place Batarian and his squad, you and your friend get involve somehow and shit hits the fan. In the course of the action, you, Scotsman and your friend wake up in the damaged vents, you see Batarians executing Cilivians(humans and aliens alike), the Scotsman swear he has seen the bomb's technology before and from an Asari rival's of his. During the attempted escape from the vents, you encounters an Turian Hit squad that following the Batarians and killing Cilivans(aliens and humans) as well. Also weird ass ancient Reaper Device is converting the bodies into even weirder husks, your friend freaks out from the stress of turians, batarians and reaper husks and you are force to kill him. You and the Scotsman somehow permantly shut down the Reaper Device. Back to normalacy, you faint and a gorgeous blonde lady ask you if you want to go under an operation to save your life and able to Fight the Reapers. You have an option to agree or not but you faint in and out of conscience. You and a few other people go under the Operation: Phantom under her command. During this time, Scotsman agrees to join Cerberus after the shit he saw, also he said that the Bomb that Batarian used was of Asari design. Also that there was a Turian Black Ops team there as well.
Thru out the rest of the game, there is an Spectre that is an Asari Duelist, and her ally Salarian Spectre, Salarian Soldier with tech ablities that will be your enemies due to Henry Lawson leaking information on your team and your involvement as the terrorist that destroy that area of the Citadel.
Those were involved was an Turian politican that employed that employed the Turian Black Ops team and re use them to bring to you justice. An brilliant Asari Engineer that is a rival to the Scotsman. Henry Lawson siding with them for power. And Batarian Slasher that was the leader of the Batarian Terrorist Cell are working together accidently discredit the Alliance and overtime replace each of the councilors with themselves. Henry Lawson did take an interest in the Reaper Device that you found.
Over time, you attempt to discredit the Turian, Asari and Batarian on the terrorism plot, Henry Lawson slips out. In the end, you were forced to kill Turian Poltician, Asari Engineer and Batarian. Henry Lawson is gaining more power within the Citadel with humans and Aliens.
I will post more later

I would hire all the obscenely talented ex bioware (Chris l'Etolie, the banner saga team, david gaider etc) plus Chris Avellone and whoever is the lead writer of The witcher: hearth of stone; I would throw the frostbite engine into the bog, canonize high EMS destroy (sorry bro, but I fear it was always fated so..) develope a sort of Mass Effect Keep to import your choiches, release a character creator (like it was done in DA:O) to reconstruct your shepard and than... well, nothing, I would let my team work and develop a great game.

Hmm. I actually think I'd re-do Andromeda. Make it the game everyone was hoping for, closer to what the early concept releases suggested.

I would keep the series in the milky way and explore the 99% not explored during the mass effect trilogy. What this guy said. Also in addition to a new Mass Effect trilogy that doesn’t revolve around around Team Milky Way, I would want to try an episodic Mass Effect side adventure using another team during the in between delays of development for the new trilogy.

Money not an issue? Hard reboot of the franchise. ME trilogy with more modern effects and an actual outline (needless to say, this would likely create very different ME2 and ME3 games, and probably significant changes to ME1 as well.). Endings to ME3 would be completely redone so that they don't rewrite the entire galaxy (and thus keep the Milky Way as a viable setting) and actually reflects player choice through the trilogy. Less emphasis on big sweeping changes and more on personal destiny. MEA would be rewritten to be set in the Milky Way, beyond explored space and with a reason created to explain why they are cut off from the relay network (relay damaged/destroyed by the Scourge?) Chris L'Etoile would be paid an obscene amount of money to return. Would be on the same boat myself.

I would gather a dirty dozen style team of fiction writers,idea men,narrative writers,storyboard experts and the artists to make those ideas come alive. To recapture that feeling of "space Opera" the first game gave me(obviously i would want a solid combat and rpg marriage as well). I feel that too many games try to distract us with a pretty light show and show us vast open fields of redundant crap and roll out the oft repeated "open world" moniker.

rewrite the trilogysequel to ME3 with Shepard returning sequel to MEA with Cerberus having a role. They're building a relay that will link back to the Milky Way. Cora will become TID. I'd reduce the over-importance of Liara's character in ME2-3. (Make her less of a Mary Sue, have her character arc make some goddamn sense, and not shove her down players throats as a love interest)

My game wouldn't really be much different other than it would be open to the modding community without any restrictions or cost to them. Look how popular Skyrim still is after all of these years. Oh yeah there is one thing which I am positive won't be popular around here but romances would be dropped but friendships/non-romantic relationships would be enhanced. Possible compromise is that I would open a brothel on whatever the name is of the main hub of my game. I also favor the idea of a 4 person party instead of the 3 we have seen in ME.

I'd make as many small scale stories that are set concurrent to Shepard's story as I could, each focusing on a relatively small and contained storyline in one particular area of the Milky Way.
Omega, Illium, Alliance Black Ops vs Batarians, and a game on the Citadel are all ideas I've got off the top of my head

The problem was the entire Milky Way galaxy was affected by the effects of the Citadel-Crucible, so since they didn't want to have a canon ending to Mass Effect 3 they had to think of something thus going to Andromeda.

Whats done is done i would not go back an change anything, going forward? now thats a different beast, first i'd wake up an realize no matter what i did there will always be a section of ppl no happy an with that realization i'd cannon destroy ending from me3 release a comic or something killing of the angaraa an kett an majority of milkyway species that came to Andromeda an leave the only survivors the ones on meridian then i'd make a game that has the greatest potential imo to attract alot of new players an that would be ME:O where i'd use meridian as a hub to start unlocking Andromeda or i'd go back to milkyway again make it online like destiny/divison an base the game around trying to rebuild an keep order
ME1 to ME3 did great job of building universe through a single player experience i dont think can be topped or indeed attempted but me3 mp apparently was hugely successful an the one thing still receiving support is me:a mp so that tells me 2 things, 1 regardless of what ppl or polls say here ppl who enjoy ME want to experience it together an 2 ppl would love to play as another race, so i'd build a game offering that experience an that would be ME:Online, what i think ME:A shoulda been from the start

Just had an idea, but i didnt read the whole thread here, so maybe this is not new: Game will be be: Andromeda Resurgence Milky Way is busted, we in Andromeda now and have to deal with it. Game will start right after ME:A. Ryder continues his investigation in the murder of Jien Garson and the Benefactor. Ryder will quickly find informations about Cerberus and their involvement with the AI. He/She will find an Cryopod tucked away in some hidden space in the structure of Hyperion. Out comes: Shepard. Now you play him. He has no clue how he got there. His last memory is the destruction of the Normandy at the beginning of ME2. Now 2 storylines start: First you have to deal with the next wave of kett, build a squad, starting with one Ryder and maybe Vetra, and bang some aliens. The other story is finding out how he endet up on the Hyperion, and what happened in the Milky Way. And as you guess at this point he will find out he was another of the Illusive Man´s creations, just a clone. Or not? Who was the "real" Shepard, if there was one after his dead.
