What would you want in a remake? (Spoilers ahead)

two new enemy factions with a believable lore that why they willingly join the Reapers.


Black Talon Mercenary: A Mysterious Mercenary Faction that operate in all known areas in the Galaxy and having members of unknown alien species in their ranks and having bases in unknown regions within the Milk Way Galaxy. Two known Black Talon Mercs: Black Talon Wraith a biotic assassin(a functional N7 Fury/Cerberus Phantom) and Black Talon Engineer(has grenades, Cerberus Heavy Turret and Geth Hex Shield as abilities). For Story Line purposes, Shepard will learn their connections to both Collectors and the Reapers. Also they make the Highly Unethical Cerberus, without Changing Cerberus or their nature, look nice when compared together. With a believable big organization that can rival Citadel, System Alliance and Cerberus and Terminus without making the player's brain bleed during Mass Effect 3. They research into Reaper Technology moreso than Cerberus or any other organizations. Known to recruit anyone that is willing to join their cause. The Perks include Better Biotic Implants and Amps, Better Omni-tools, Better Armor and Better Weapons. Black Talon Version of the Claymore is much stronger than your Standard Claymore in turn, your Standard Claymore is quite powerful. Black Talon Engineer does use their Black Talon Claymore. Lore Wise: Black Talons Standard training does include using the Black Talon Claymore and other stronger Black Talon weapons.

Paragon of Our Kind: A Human organization that has connections to the Asari, Batarian and Collectors. Willing to work the Batarian both legal and illegal methods including help smuggling Weapons for Batarian Assassins and Terrorists into Citadel Space and provide legal protection for anyone that desires to take action against the System Alliance. Also making possible for Batarians Slavers to make their raids successful. Also they did help the Collectors to attack those Human Colonies. They have a mild form of Reaper psychosis that leaves them un-indoctrinated but due to their philosophy, that makes them think that Helping the Reapers is a good thing. Think of them as an Unitology of Dead Space into the Mass Effect universe and Replace Necromorphs with Reapers. These Humans are powerful biotics.

Well an Sensible Cerberus Storyline without having them explode into something stupidly big.

ME3 Shepard having an option to assist Cerberus if the players want too. Just because I am a Cerberus fanboy, it doesn't mean that everyone has to be one.


I would love an ending that Shepard could get indoctrinated.

There not to be one.

My fear is if BioWare goes back to remake the games they are going to have the exact same problem they did with Andromeda where they were trying to cram too many things into the game and you get a mess of everything.

The big thing is I want the storytelling to be more fluid.

I'm not into the suggestions of near-total rewrites. But plenty of tweaks would probably be welcomed.

More varied enemy factions. If this was a singular or chapter based trilogy remake, I don't see how we can't have Merc or Collector enemies in ME3, or Indoctrinated folks in ME2 and ME3, etc.



In my craziest part of my mind, have it not entirely a remake. Have it so ME1-ME3 were all forms of virtual memories of the real thing (but still valid in the MEU through twists), while the 'remake' is the real story with more emotional weight because we eventually know what is coming (everyone actually harvested, but something good coming out of it, which I won't get into here). We get another, extended, adventure with Shepard/The Shepard, but it will be the true IRL goodbye to the character after this.
I know many will hate this but I'd be into a 'remake' that still advances a different plot. The concept intrigues me.

This, in particular, is something I'd like to see. One thing that has always bothered me is Cerberus. The organization we saw in ME1 was not what we got afterward. I think I would do something like TIM forms an organization with a manifesto to promote humanity above all others in the galaxy. It would be nameless, which could be more effective in some ways than announcing who they are. They get involved with others, those who were around during the First Contact War, politicians and senior military. This allows them access to the Alliance. Meanwhile, the Alliance develops a black ops organization called Cerberus. The unnamed organization gets its fingers in Cerberus, along with Binary Helix, ExoGeni and others. When Shepard takes down Cerberus, the organization uses the name as a front for their ideals, seeing each arm of its organization as a head that, when taken down, can return in another form. That would sort of reconcile the Cerberus of ME1 with the Cerberus of ME2.

Just some thoughts, and that idea would certainly need more fleshing out, but it's a start.

Honestly, there's too many parts that I'm fond of that would probably just not make it or perhaps not be recaptured all that well in a remake. I wouldn't say no to just being able to play the entire trilogy + DLC's on a current gen system (I don't want no dang PC).

Buuuuuuut....if I was going to tinker and revise things, first thing I'd remove entirely is Project Lazarus. It's dumb as fuck, and ultimately pointless. It's essentially interchangeable with a coma, because in the end, Shepard's "obligation" to Cerberus can basically be attributed to the Alliance/Council's inability or disinclination to do jack shit about the Collectors and Reapers. Even with all of the quibbles and quirks and straight up daffy story beats that lead from one game to the next, this bit always bothered me the most because of it being frivolous messiah shenanigans.

Exactly. With all the explanations for how all the squadmates could be on the Citadel for a special day and then the party, they could have easily come up with something for the character who is already on the Citadel. Instead other than one name drop by Joker during Thane's funeral she has nothing.
At least her not being there didn't force the romance to be sexual with the morning after scene, but then they potentially even ruin that if you play as Femshep and have the wild party since then even though you're in a relationship they have you and Javik have an one night stand. 

Remember on Omega when Shepard talked to Morinth about music, and how she described it? I think the soundtrack needs a little oomph to it, and I recommend BioWare should have Mick Gordon as a composer. Or Jesper Kyd.
