Starbrat would be more acceptable if you were actually able to bring some decent arguments to the table, or even poke holes in the stupidity of each and every one of its "solutions", past and present. I don't see that happening. Starbrat was just the tip of the iceberg. Would have loved to tell them how they were all morons for ignoring him for the past 3+ years, leading to the Reapers being on their doorstep before realizing they'd fucked up. I think Vega is right and no amount of preparation was likely to make a difference, but they could have at least tried. Or, they could have scoured the galaxy for all that time, maybe even swaying the asari to give a shit and pony up their Prothean beacon.

Hmmm ... I might get some flak for my opinion on this but ... yeah, remake the ME-Trilogy...I am on board BUT !!!!
But !!!!!
Only if we redo the story once ME1 is done. Even ME1 should get a little streamlining and polish, of course. Especially the side missions on planets. But the overall story, climax, characters, keep it all.
And then...redo it completely.
I know, so many people LOVE ME2 ... I hate it even more than ME3 abysmal ending. Why? Because it is no proper sequel and goes in all the wrong directions.
ME2 is for me like, dunno, as if "Empire strikes back" had not been about the Empire, well, striking back. But instead we had Luke ending up in some distant part of the galaxy, fighting smugglers and criminals. The Empire only gets mentioned in passing. Neither Han Solo nor Chewie or the Droids come back, instead we get a dozen of new characters we can barely remember their names....Leia appears however, but only once the movie is already over, and in some deleted scenes you can see on the Blue Ray...
ME2 was just too pointless in its main story, too unconnected to the events of the prior part. And too much return to status quo. No book nor movie would have continued like that, and I think the love for Jack, Mordin, Illusive Man and the Suicide Mission made some fans oblivious that the game's story SUCKS! And many of ME3's problems are rooted in a wrong way the middle part was done...
I am not writer nor claiming "my" version would have been better...well, actually I do I guess ^^
But for example: No Shepard's death at teh start. Have her instead working as a Spectre still for the Council, her primary objectives: Prepare the galaxy/races mostly in secret for the Reapers (what we did in part three, only way too late in the story to have an impact).
And 2nd Objective - find if possible a way to stop the Reapers! Again - the whole Crucible stuff was introduced way too late in the main story, stuff like that needs to be introduced and hinted at earlier, so it doesn't feel like out of left field.
Also Cerberus ... having Shepard join them, even unwillingly, was stupid. Cerberus should have been the main antagonist instead of the nonsensical Collectors. Cerberus, being under the idea that Shepard and co + the "Deep State" are selling humanity out to the Council, thinking the Reaper-Stuff is just nonsense to end humanity's strife for power etc...and of course Cerberus, just like we see in ME3, is already paving the way for the Reapers...
This way, ME3 could concentrate totally on the Repaer-Invasion proper, without weird side-plots with Cerberus because ME2 wasted our time ...
And of course ... not red/blue/green/pissyellow/beige endings. If we made the "wrong" decisions and didn't commit enough - Repaers win. If we do barely enough - Reapers and civlizations get destroyed for the most part. If we do everything we could possibly do - Reapers get torn a new one, with stuff that got already hinted at in the previous two titles...I never believed the Reapers were unstoppable - it just has to be written properly, and integrated into the story. There are enough ideas for a "Destroy all Reapers"-Ending without deus ex machinas...
Also - Shepard'S Death. A great idea, wasted for ME2 way too early.
have Shepard die at the end of "New ME2" - no matter what you do, it always happens. And then have her return for ME3. REapers have invaded, things look bleak, and NOW Shepard returns from the dead. And thanks to the Reaper-Tech involved, we even get a very good way of making Shepard integral part (and believable) for the defeat of the REapers...
I realize even after all those years I am quite emotional ^^ I HATED ME3s ending, and never played any title since then. I ignored the "Extended Ending" or whatever it was, and did not buy a single piece of DLC...
But I actually really enjoyed Andromeda...a pity that this series was falsely panned by mostly "idiots from youtube", it seserved better than what it got. Great game.
But alas ... nothing of the above will happen.
Instead we surely get a "mobile game" that expands on the Mass Effect experience!!! Or a stupid prequel to Shepard'S story, that will remind us that it all ends in stupidity anyway...Starbrat...what a bunch of shi...*credits rolls*

That's most likely why ME3 didn't use any of the ME2 squadmates. That said, some have suggested repositioning ME2 as ME1. The initial threat would be the Collectors and the beginnings of the human Reaper would have given insight into the coming threat. Then Shepard would have fought Sovereign in the second game. The Arrival dlc could still work here and then we'd move into ME3 more or less the same. This would make more sense in the overall trilogy. Also, less Liara. Yeah, plenty like to romance her but for the rest I'd just as soon not have her shoved down my throat to the point where she got her own ME2 dlc while A/K got a couple of minutes where they walk away from Shepard.

I think part of the problem with the LIs were that was way too many of them! Loose 2 of them in ME2 so the others can be part of main storyline or have more to do as LIs in ME3.
IMHO Liara barely feels like a love interest most of the time in ME3.
Kaiden/Ash are in the hospital for over half the game.
Thane dies. Which I know was the whole point of his arc but it's barely acknowledged that Fem Shepard had a relationship in the base game and he gets a memorial in ME3: Citadel DLC.
Jacob as left Shepard for another woman and again it's not even acknowledged in the base game and she only gets to yell/punch him or get some closure in ME3: Citadel.
Miranda is on the run from Cerberus. Jack is a teacher. Tali is helping the quarians fight the geth.
Allers, Traynor, and Cortez are new characters that we barely get any time to know them, all of them, along with Kelly, should have been introduced in one or two where we get to know them like Garrus and Tali in ME1, then brought back as LIs in later games.

IMHO Liara barely feels like a love interest most of the time in ME3. Maybe. Still annoyed that she can ninjamance you, something A/K don't seem to be able to do. I've heard people say they romanced her by accident. That happened to me once and it means I no longer recruit her until after Virmire. Also, going into ME2 you could only have had one of three romance options. Ashley and Kaidan could have had similar lines so no special work there. They could even say "I still love you but I'm on an Alliance mission and can't come aboard the Normandy". Simple, still leaves them out of the game, and it shows they are actually listening to what Shepard says. Yes, ME3 was a disaster with LIs since there were, as you say, too many options. It's still acknowledged and still doesn't have those LIs on bad terms despite not being squadmates. So, yeah, the differences are significant. Liara, of course, is there from the start and remains there (unlike A/K being hospitalized). She's the only one who gets that treatment. So, please, don't claim things were the same with her. They weren't. I'm not begrudging people who love her and want to romance her. I just think the other romances deserve equal treatment.

That's most likely why ME3 didn't use any of the ME2 squadmates. Had Bioware been given the time needed to do what they originally wanted for ME3, the ME2 characters might have had more of a role than seen in the current game. Yep. I believe ME2 could happened before ME1. Just have to change a few things. I don't know the reason why A/K didn't have more content in ME2 than what is seen, but they could have showed up in the Arrival dlc. Or better yet, use the information given by TIM about the weapon used that disabled the reaper and caused the Great Rift. Even though Cerberus was at the area, it's still worth investigating. A/K joins Shepard. They encounter some wildlife which they deal with. They find the weapon. Eventually they find an underground bunker that has all kinds of stuff that no one can understand. This is where the plans to the crucible could be found instead of at the beginning of ME3.

Can't imagine why Bioware would have an issue doing an HD remaster/remake of the OT or setting ME5 in the Milky Way...
"Change ME1 combat!" "No, leave it the same!" "Change ME3 endings!" "Add more romances!" "Less Romances!" "Change ME2!" "Do a prequel!" "No prequels!" "No Reapers!" "Make choices more meaningful!"
And so on and so on. It doesn't seem like anything who wants a remake or remaster wants anywhere near the same thing. Nor also for a ME5 set in the Milky Way.

I would also add what seems to be contrary to a remaster by redoing of the stories as well based on personal like or dislike of the games and the content within them. If you really look at these requests its getting to the point where it seems the real request is just make a new game with Shepard.

So if people are calling for a Mass Effect remaster, they are generally calling for the same thing.

So if people are calling for a Mass Effect remaster, they are generally calling for the same thing. Yes, I understand the distinction. My point is that people don't seem to want the same thing. Even ones just calling for a remake are also asking to change ME3 endings, etc. And some people are obviously not happy with just a graphical upgrade. That's why I think they would stay away from either. Too many people upset by keeping it the same but just graphics or actually changing things. It's no-win. If they do a pure remaster you just get "ME3 ending apocalypse Part II". If you change it others are unhappy it's not the same game.

I
I appreciate ME 2 (suicide mission was the best ending of the whole trilogy for me) but I get your point and I agree in a certain extend. ME 2 has a lot of flaws. For me the main problem is the lack of choice. I don’t want to work with Cerberus but I don’t have a voice in this. The main point with DA and ME is that the player has the choice (to a certain extend of course). But in ME 2 you died and then you are forced to work with Cerberus and for the rest of the trilogy the people make no difference if you made this willingly or not. You can still help the Alliance, the mistrust remains the same. That bothers me a lot because I felt trapped.
If I could change ME 2 I would propose something else: you can choose to side with Cerberus to stop the collectors or stay with the Alliance (I agree that the Collectors should have not become the main concern and plot of the game and that a lot of ME 3could have been introducing in ME2). Like in DAI (siding with the Templars or the mages). If you side with Cerberus you have unlimited funds and more connections. The way seams easier but you have more morally decisions to make. You will have quests against the Alliance who believe you can be a threat (distrust of the VM, the Counsel, Anderson), this could have been more explored in ME3 after. You have the normal crew and Miranda and Jacob but can’t have the VM and another crew member of ME1. Or you stay with the Alliance, you have the VM with you, Anderson (perhaps a playable character sometimes…), Cerberus would be the main antagonist. You can’t have Miranda or Jacob with you but the rest of the normal crew (including Jack, Mordin, Samara, Thane). But it will be harder because you have all the politic with the counsel and the Alliance have limited resources. The dynamic with the different characters of ME1 would be different. If you romanced in ME1 the VM and side with Cerberus you still have the possibility to maintain the relationship but it will be more difficult (like it is currently the case in ME3). That only my ideas. I just disagree with your point Shep dying at the end of ME2 anyway. I want to have the choice (like in DAO) and that this possibility is only introduced at the end of ME3. I don’t like this resurrection story.

IMHO Liara barely feels like a love interest most of the time in ME3. Maybe. Still annoyed that she can ninjamance you, something A/K don't seem to be able to do. I've heard people say they romanced her by accident. That happened to me once and it means I no longer recruit her until after Virmire. Also, going into ME2 you could only have had one of three romance options. Ashley and Kaidan could have had similar lines so no special work there. They could even say "I still love you but I'm on an Alliance mission and can't come aboard the Normandy". Simple, still leaves them out of the game, and it shows they are actually listening to what Shepard says. Yes, ME3 was a disaster with LIs since there were, as you say, too many options. It's still acknowledged and still doesn't have those LIs on bad terms despite not being squadmates. So, yeah, the differences are significant. Liara, of course, is there from the start and remains there (unlike A/K being hospitalized). She's the only one who gets that treatment. So, please, don't claim things were the same with her. They weren't. I'm not begrudging people who love her and want to romance her. I just think the other romances deserve equal treatment. I agree with you even if Liarra don't bothers me (i kinda like her) her romance is the more developed and she has the more time screen of all LIs.

At least with ME3 I think the reason why Liara has so much screen time is mostly due to her being the only returning character that cannot die in ME2. So instead of having to take the time to make sure multiple characters could give the dialogue she gives during development they just used the one character that could return. If not I could have seen another ME:A animation issue where they had to do double duty to have dialogue animated by both the squadmember and their replacement if they died.

I just don't want her made so central. Tbh, that final scene with the two of them in London was very touching. She is a steadfast ally and friend. She just doesn't need to be more important than other squadmates.

How many friends do you know who would be ok with not telling anyone that your body(Shepard's) is in the hands of Cerberus? Take your{Shepard's) armor and have it on display like its a prize/trophy? Have your(Shepard's) DNA plastered in different spots in their apartment?
I didn't care for the scene in London. I accepted her gift once to hear/see the result.
I do agree that she didn't need to be more important than other squadmates.

it seems the real request is just make a new game with Shepard. Nothing wrong with that. Here's one way Shepard could return

Take your{Shepard's) armor and have it on display like its a prize/trophy? Have your(Shepard's) DNA plastered in different spots in their apartment? Well, that's true. If she'd shot off a brief message to the Alliance and/or the Council, everything would have been resolved. Then they'd wonder why Cerberus went to so much trouble to bring Shepard back. They could talk and Shepard could get the resources needed to investigate the Collectors. If nothing else, Tali and Veetor could verify what was happening with ease. Actually, Shepard could have sent that evidence along as well but chose not to for "Reasons".

Although I would prefer to see new games rather than remastered old games (nor would I like to see redone but no way BioWare reworks the trilogy anyway) there are a few things I'd like:
Updated graphics of course would no doubt happen
ME1: expanded CC Controller for PC support Have the console armors be added into the game
ME2: more guns and armor. A shooting range or combat arena like in 3? 2 is my favorite game ever so I'm not going to say it needs a lot of work.
ME3: more weapons and perhaps make late game armors available earlier in the game. Expand upon certain missions if they desire. I'm fine with priority: Earth but if they want to add a few elcor or volus fighting cool. I mean like a quick cutscene, I can't see them reworking anything.

If get decide to remake ME3 then they should put dark themes such as the horrors of war, survival, and broaden combat gameplay. World at War is a great example of what BioWare should learn from.
