I just did a three second search on archiveofourown.org. There are three pages of results. Interesting. Did you filter out the smut fics? Nope

Fanfiction.org has a terrible search engine as far as I've been able to see. Okay, I looked on AO3. Only a few are tagged as "smut" and two of them are chapters of the same story.

It's a pain to look for fics you actually want to read. At lest AO3's search engine allows you filter out what you want and don't want to read. Anyway, thanks for the info.

There's not going to be a sequel to ME3. It was planned as a trilogy and nothing more There's not going to be a sequel to ME3, but the "planned as a trilogy" is not the reason for it. The "planned as a trilogy" thing is as arbitrary as an excuse can get. I wrote a trilogy once. And then I wrote a fourth part. I can write whatever I want. I could write another trilogy. I made a plan. Then I made another plan. I am not limited by my programming, I am not an AI. This is literally a non argument. The only thing that you said that is true is that they are not going to make a sequel to ME3. And the reason is entirely different to what you think it is.

It basically comes down to whether or not the team wants to make the creative (or more likely business) decision to establish certain events as canon to go forward in said sequel, since a story with an interactive flow chart as its framework doesn’t have the same luxuries a book, series or movie would. Writers may not be limited to programming, but they can still write themselves into a corner they may not have the capacity to get out of.

They have to if they want a sequel that occurs in the same setting. There’s no way around it. Sure there is. You can claim that the Control and Synthesis endings leave no room for future adventures. They are "final solutions", so to speak. Everyone lives in peace and harmony for ever after. Destroy leaves the setting open to chaos and disarray. You can say it is a continuation to Destroy, but it's just another option, not canon. You can choose to explore it, or not, but it doesn't overwrite the other settings, even if you do. Sometimes a CYOA story has branches that end earlier than others, but that's still your story, even if you explore other endings and options.

Control could be used for a sequel. Hackett believing the crucible misfired by doing something different from what he was told it would do, decides to build the crucible again making sure it doesn't do what it did the first time. What will the hologram part 2, the former human called Shepard do? Would it use its new found toys to use their beams of doom on Hackett and those who would build a crucible 2.0?

It would be interesting if Control Shepard becomes a New Reaper Villain and becomes Friends with Harbinger and having a New Player Character to take on Control A.I. Shepard and Harbinger.

It would be interesting if Control Shepard becomes a New Reaper Villain and becomes Friends with Harbinger and having a New Player Character to take on Control A.I. Shepard and Harbinger. I would rather play as reaper Shepard, who has it's own phrase like Harbinger. Letting the galaxy believe the reapers will no longer attack, my reaper Shepard would have the reapers and good friend Harbinger lay waste on the puny little organics. Once done, my reaper Shepard and Harbinger would be back at club darkspace chugging down some brewskies while comparing which one of us fried the most organics.

I’m leaning on the Reaper conga line spiraling into the sun while singing So Long, Farewell. And Hackett looks on in disbelief and just utters to the crew “God damn”.

Huh, I picture them in top hats, swirling a cane while singing "hello my lady, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal" as they fly into said sun.

Vehicles.
I am sorry. I might just be a weird person... but I had no issues with the Mako.
I did have issues with the planets with ridiculous terrain. The mako however was okay; flawed design but fun and functional.
If a new remastered ME3 had vehicle sections that would make my goddamn day !

That would really be a full-on remake, since the mission structure of the game just leaves no room for vehicle gameplay. Where I feel vehicle control would have made the most sense would be Priority: Earth, where Shepard would instead be in a Mako pushing through London toward the missile battery instead of having to hoof it alongside the tanks that were already there. It would have made the sequence feel like more of an event that was different from any other portion of the game.

I agree that for most missions it's deffinitely a problem but they could also create a new set of missions that could accomodate vehicle use. Similar to the Hammerhead DLC. No question that it would certainly be quite the undertaking but I did miss those portions from the previous entries.

I just want innovation back. Remember when Mass Effect kinda revolutionized action RPG's by introducing the conversation wheel? Or when DA:O married modern RPG games with CRPG? Give me something like that. Innovate. I haven't played Anthem but it just looks so . . . generic.

Anthem's problem isn't failure to innovate; it's problem is that it just doesn't have enough meaningful content to support its gameplay loop. There's no interesting NPC's or missions that grab you. There's just not enough story, not enough to discover, and not nearly enough loot to make the effort worthwhile. If BioWare crafted a thoroughly innovative system to comprise the underpinnings of this game, none of it would make a lick of difference if there's no real endgame and nothing particularly fun to actually do.

I don't think it much matters if you believe IT or not. The game ended and the player is free to see whatever comes next, or any revelations, on their own. Sort of like one fanfic I read where Synthesis happened and Shepard was alive or back or something. Even if there were a direct sequel to ME3, and Shepard was alive, it would make no difference. Assume the Reapers died and Shep is therefore free of any indoctrination. Hmm...wonder if anyone has ever written an IT fanfic set post-war. There's not going to be a sequel to ME3. It was planned as a trilogy and nothing more. I don't know why people don't understand this.
Although Andromeda is a title in the Mass Effect franchise, it is not a sequel to ME3.
I actually started with "Even if there were..." It's a hypothetical. No reason to drive your point home.
