having Aliens being racists towards and actually doing something about it. If we can call an asari a "squid headed parasite wh*re" I'd be soo happy. that would be a good line to throw against my Asari Terrorist that believe that Asari is the greatest species and makes Cerberus look sane with their pro human stance.

If BioWare were to do a hard reboot, they’d need to take a good hard look at a lot of the things that build up the world, technology and politics on top of its characters. Mass Effect as a whole is aging worse and worse because of how a lot of things were written, particularly with governments like the Council, whatever the hell governs the Traverse as a whole, the way mercenaries operate, corporations. Inept bodies like the Council and such just don’t cut it anymore for a sci-fi universe. They’re meant to annoy and antagonize our protagonist, but there’s a distinct lack of cleverness in the way they’re written that can be massively improved upon. Mass Effect’s world building is a pretty janky mixed bag, because it never feels all that consistent. Whatever the Reapers are in this would need to be hugely improved, and it’s kind of hard to really figure out how that would be done. Sovereign’s monologue is fine and good, but that shit doesn’t work anymore either, Harbinger even less so. It’s just silly Saturday morning cartoon villainous blustering that isn’t really to be taken seriously anymore. Frankly, if they were to just “replace” the original trilogy, they can’t just retread over old ground. They need to improve the numerous failings that plague the old games in a major way to justify bothering. Needless to say I’m squarely in simply continuing Andromeda because I think the Milky Way is flat out dead without burning it down and starting over, but at that point there’s just no difference whatsoever. Thank you.

Agree with the reboot part. The MET needs a very hard rewrite BEFORE it can be rebooted. And it'll need a writer how knows their shit, so Super Mac is out. Yes. Please leave Mac Walters out of the writers board.

One of my other ideas involves Batarian Warden with black eyes and he is mass monster of a batarian with both size and strength that would impress a Space Marine(for both are huge and strength). Well It is within his character to start a Death Cult due to his connections to the Reapers. He has a booming voice that gets into your head that makes you want to worship him completely and uplift the Batarians to the gods of the galaxy and servants of the Dark ones aka Reapers.

And, instead of Cerberus going all HYDRA/COBRA in ME3, how a Reaper death cult, formed by the slaves that the batarians kept on their planets. One thing I would definitely change is how drastic the effect of *any* part of the reaper has on the minds of organics that come in contact with it. That is to say, if a reaper is killed, its debris shouldn’t still be radiating with mind-bending space cooties. These aren’t magical artifacts. If the construct is dead, any abilities it might have should die with it. But I definitely agree about Cerberus. Their massively inflated presence just bent too many things in the setting, and goes to the janky world building of the MEU. Like, where the heck did they come from? Why does the Council call them terrorists? Seems kind of crazy that these terrorists can have massive science projects that seem to span the entire hemisphere of a planet.

New Factions for us to fight against that could be able to fight System Alliance and Council System successfully. The Terminus Coalition, a conglomerate of species and various forces, in systems where the Relays aren't activated, which gives them the advantage of virtually no retaliation, while the Terminus attacks Council space with FTL hit and run tactics, which they've mastered exactly because there are no Relays activated in their systems, making them an unusual foe, which the council will need to fortify and adapt to. In their effort, they've also triggered the hornets nest that are the Geth and provoked them to pursue organize* beyond the vale.
Even so, we're never getting the old squad back, effectively wiping them out with the reboot, or making new incarnations of them that won't mirror their previous shelves, nor have their charm. At which point, you're effectively making a new franchise. More people will check out, before a new audience is attracted back. Provided that the reboot is even good, in the first place. Even if we plan it with best case scenario in mind, Bioware will be heavily scrutinized by the gaming public for even attempting such a thing, which might condemn not only the franchise, but the studio as well.
EDIT: Organize? Oh for fucks sake. I meant organics

It would’ve been nice to better establish why the Council/Alliance would be wary of starting anything with the Terminus. Every time we go there, our little squad can basically just mollywhop all this merc filth like the ill-equipped space vagabonds they are. The only person that seems to have any meaningful authority and is untouchable by our character is Aria, but there’s not much of an idea of any kind of overarching structure that makes the Terminus as a whole a formidable foe to contend with.
I’m sure even BioWare’s aware of the immense perils of any kind of actual reboot. Best leave the old franchise as the only reaper story.

Even dead gods still dream But at least with this, you could reconcile it with the idea that this is a mostly intact reaper with an active core. But when so much as a hunk of a bulkhead starts singing in people’s brains, it gets kind of weird.
