Mass Effect '5' speculation (Official Thread)

As a weapon against the Reapers? Possibly. After all, they created the Catalyst/Intelligence and were actually waiting for the Reapers to find a solution. Maybe the Crucible would be their means of attempting to speed up the process. Also, the idea that anyone from a previous cycle could come up with a device that is 100% compatible with the Citadel is kind of crazy. The Leviathan were probably the only ones who could do it. So, yeah, the Leviathan or the Catalyst itself are the most likely originators of the Crucible.

Mind you, I think the Leviathan would be credible threat in a future ME game, especially while the galaxy is rebuilding. I just wouldn't want Shepard be the hero again. Shepard, if alive, needs some time to rest and heal.

Probably true but it was only really touchy-feely with the Extended Anderson Conversation.

As I said in the other thread, I predict a sequel or expansion size addition to Andromeda. Honestly I look forward to smaller size games. I am going to have two kids next year, my wife and I work full time, hell yes I'm in favor of scaling back the size of games.

I would love a smaller 20 hour max game where we deal a fatal blow to the Kett or fight batarians in the early days of humanity being part of the galactic community.

I say batarians because after the brief first contact war, I think Batarian slavery poses a bigger threat than the turians.

Well, the Mass Effect universe is known for doing the most dumb ass shit ever...

They can still make a dlc/expansion, while working on a new big ME. It won't be a risk nor a waste of resources.

I would support a game or a major segment that the Hero does deal with the batarian in a greater capacity.


For example, within my Mass Effect fantasy game, One of the groups you have to deal with is a Batarian Commando and his death squad and the aftermath of their bombing of a multi species nightclub.

Shelby(a Cerberus Nemesis) ropes Scotty(a Cerberus Engineer) and PC(a Cerberus Phantom) into attempting to Batarian's bombing at the Nightclub. The Explosion opens a hole to the Keeper Tunnels under the NightClub. Several Civilians were in the tunnels with the "heroes" and Batarian commandos and some husks kills the cilivans. Ulimately the "heroes" escape and Keepers seals all of the exits into their tunnels. Batarian Commando will escape back to batarian space. Shelby, Scotty and the PC get recruited to Cerberus by Tessa(a gorgeous tall blonde) and they find ties between a Turian Commander, Asari Engineer and Batarian Warden and their ties to Saren.

Batarian Warden runs a Prison that contents slaves for Sale to Buyers in Batarian Space and Terminus Systems. Shelby is a former Slave in that Prison. Well she does flip out that they are going there. In Short, The Prison is a major planet within context of the story. Including an expanded back story of Mindor and much of the slave raids by the Batarians. why Batarians resent humanity great deal and their plans to screw them over on the galatic stage. Batarian Warden has glowing soulless black eyes that are insanely creepy.

My kingdom for a Mass Effect sequel in the Milky Way galaxy.

I'll take any of the endings even the green vomit ending.

Had the reapers not interfered, the quarians would have destroyed the geth , possibly before Shepard showed up.

Well, of course the Reapers' core premise is wrong They're the bad guys.

Plenty of bad guys are right about the issues but just wrong in their solution.

It wouldn’t serve them to runaway from their problems again like they did with ME3.
