What’re your fears for ME5 in regard to squad mates/characters/story. Mine are that once again we’ll be force fed Liara. That the Genophage storyline won’t blow up in the faces of those who cured it, and that Geth will still be around after I chose Destroy. I’m curious what other fans fears for the franchise are.

I don't really have any fears, at this point I'll take Mass Effect in more or less any form.

I'm afraid BioWare will try to sit on the fence with every division within the fan base, leaving all sides displeased.
I'm afraid they won't learn from their mistakes and will try to force those down our throats again.
I'm afraid they'll try to shove even more bad decisions into the game, because EA is run by idiots and BioWare obeys their every command.
Most importantly, I'm afraid the Claymore won't return, as it is too powerful and would be everyone's love interest.

I'm afraid that an increasingly convoluted story resulting from attempting to combine the two galaxies will end up making no sense.
I'm afraid that they'll continue with the trend of gutting story in favor of "exploration..." (snooze).
I'm afraid that people will prejudge the game based on reviewers with clear anti-Bioware agendas instead of thinking for themselves. What am I saying...that's a given.

Including too much from the prior games in some poor attempt to keep everyone happy is my fear. Along with BioWare's track record of having some kind of massive universe altering choice at the end of the game that gives the impression consequences will be in the sequel.

That the Genophage storyline won’t blow up in the faces of those who cured it, and that Geth will still be around after I chose Destroy. I’m curious what other fans fears for the franchise are. Things like the genophage cure annoy the tar out of me in BioWare games for they put something like that at the end of the game and then nothing happens. Instead if I could make a suggestion to BioWare it would have been that at the very end when going to find the final boss Marauder Shields the Genophage didn't work/backfired and the Krogan that took it have a negative consequence. It ties up the story and there isn't a major split either for you would still have all the Krogan that didn't take the cure going forward. Yes it would suck for those that want a happy ending, but it doesn't leave a choice unresolved especially if there could be a sequel. I know resolution of all choices in the same game might not be what some people want, but we should all know by now BioWare doesn't want to write a massive chunk of a game based on a choice we make especially story content.

ME5? Can someone post a link to ME4? I like to purchase it to play before this so-called ME5 is released.
Fears/concerns? The next ME game being similar to MEA.

I don't have any fears or concerns. If it turns out to be a game I want to play, I'll buy and play it, otherwise I won't. To me, the ME franchise has pretty much run its course with the trilogy. I consider MEA a failed spin off attempt, and I have no idea what this next game is going to be. Could be good or might not be. We'll see.

- Having a LOT of unnecessary combat when one could use talk, skills etc. (2, 3 and even Andromeda had it too much) - Going to tight corridors like 2 and 3 (I dont believe it'll happen though) - Continue with Shepard as main (I dont believe it'll happen though) - Continue after ME3 war with some canonized choice or pre-ME1 game - Rush the game
Then again BioWare has moved onwards, mostly, with the new games on different systems etc. So I dont think we'll get fex. ME3 clunky combat with camping behind covers anymore.

As broad as it is, my biggest fear is that it will simply feel boring and stagnant like MEA.
I fear the plot will jump through so many dumb hoops to avoid the endings and include Andromeda when all I want is a competent Mass Effect story that builds on the great universe established in the trilogy.

That they insist on trying to convince us that MEA was misunderstood and it was actually a masterpiece, by trying to fix it in this game instead of focusing on what made the franchise great in the first place, the events and characters from the trilogy.
It’s last-chance saloon for the franchise. Another failure after MEA and its likely curtains. Please don’t screw it up.

Causing everything to feel like joke. -bad dialogue -bad animations -Nova ability (it needs to go) -Using the open class system from Andromeda. (classes need to return) Why don't you like Nova? I never used it so I have no opinion. It killed the "high risk, high reward" gameplay of Vanguard. ME2 Vanguard was balanced. If I charged into a group of enemies in ME2 there is a good chance I would die. I had to wait to charge again due to the cool down, so I actually had to think about who I was going to charge. After a charge I had to be in a position I could defend myself waiting for the cool down, to charge again. It caused the player to think, and added challenge. With nova ability, the Vanguard is a spamfest, you don't have to think before you charge because you always have nova to cover your ass because it was on a separate cool down. Charge nova combo, is unbeatable there is no risk. Even on insanity. It made it so the player barely have to utilize their weapons as well. And yes, I know it's optional, and personally I don't use it. Though I just want Vanguard class to go back to that "high risk, high reward" gameplay it was built upon.

There must be a realistic risk of this. She’s the only legacy character 100% confirmed to be in the game, and from the trailer I’d assume she’s possibly going to be a major character again. Probably safe to say that if she’s a potential LI again she’s going to get lots of content. I didn’t actually mind Liara in the trilogy, but yeah the attention she got did seem disproportionate to what everyone else got….

Why don't you like Nova? I never used it so I have no opinion. because it was on a separate cool down. Wait, what? I thought ME2 and ME3 had a global cooldown for all powers. I guess I never noticed because I tend to go with the same playstyle every time.

ME2 yes global cooldown. ME3 I don't think so. iirc tech and biotics skills are on separate cooldowns. Nova is weird, because it is categorized as a biotic skill, but the cooldown is based on Shep's barrier bar. Meaning if Shep have barriers he can use nova. No matter how little of the barrier bar is full he is able to use Nova at full force. Once he uses nova, barriers are gone. But by that point, charge cool down is already complete. So he can charge, regaining his barriers, and use nova once again. Then rinse and repeat. It's Trash, and requires no thought.

I didn’t actually mind Liara in the trilogy, but yeah the attention she got did seem disproportionate to what everyone else got…. Is she confirmed to be in the next ME game? The only thing confirmed that I know of is there will be another ME game. Since there's a few posts about the asari, I will add a couple concerns. If she is in the next game, will there be a choice, likely before the start of the game, for the player to choose if she is dead or not? She can be killed in ME3. If not, that means Bioware doesn't care about choices even though Gamble on his twit account posted we take players choice seriously. If they ignored that choice, I would guess it means they made her be part of the game that can't be avoided to move the story forward. Will she have dialogue mentioning previous events in the trilogy? Why should I trust what she says? She has proven she can't be trusted. I would even go as far to say she lies. I've said before I have no problem with her returning, if the game is a sequel to ME3 with the other characters returning just with less content
