What do you want from Mass Effect 4?
T4R
I realize that Mass Effect 4 is rather controversial, after the ending of Mass Effect 3 disappointing many people (although I personally loved it minus the ending). But I feel that Shepherd's death (in most endings) opens up unique opportunities for the franchise to expand. What I am especially hopeful for the ability to choose your character's species, perhapse limiting it to the species still alive after your choices in Mass Effect 3, like for example if you picked the destroy ending, or allowed the quarians to kill the geth, you can't be a geth in Mass Effect 4. Maybe that can extend to races like the rachni as well (although that probably wouldn't work because the workers don't seem to be sentient).
It would be hard to pull this off, because each species would need a different voice actor and dialog, plus the story would need to work in a way that allows any species to make sense as a protagonist, but I think if they made you like a mercenary or something it could work.
What do you all want for Mass Effect 4?

A proper damn ending... THE FIRST TIME.

Edited by Infiltrat0rN7: 7/19/2013 3:29:11 AM-The Protagonist to be just a generic grunt not mister Everyone knows me from the get-go -The Protagonist actually has to overcome social torments and doubts not lolimcomandershepardfaku -The Protagonist is not a emotionless robot -The Protagonist can have a personality -The Protagonist can become more and more unstable That's why i didn't like Shep. Everyone -blam!-ing knew him ,wanted his dick by the time you met him and treating him as a god. I want a protagonist is some basic grunt, nobody knows him, and everyone treats him like shit One that actually has to climb up society's ladder And i want a protagonist that -blam!-s up unlike Shepard. One were he doesn't call himself a hero. Also better PTSD plox. Those dreams were shit tier.

Geth or Quarians can be wiped out, and Krogan can be wiped out. Everyone else is still around. I expect ME4 to pull a Halo 4 and sort of reboot the alien races, taking it back down to its core while adding new races. Asari, Turian, Salarian, and Human will make the transition, with cameos from other races, but for the most part action will probably center on them along with new races.

A protagonist that has a personality.

An ending that doesn't undermine the choices and themes that made the franchise such a joy to play.

1 ReplyWasn't it a trilogy? Why can't you just let the franchise rest. It had a good run. I don't want a Mass Effect 18. The trilogy is fine.

1 ReplyIf anything, not a god damn prequal. First contact wars are a short period, and honestly, Turians aren't the most exciting to fight, with their rigid military and all that. I'd rather focus on the aftermath of the crucible firing. There are many things to work out in the galaxy, and more good potential(assuming we don't get some bad writing) to tell some more stories in the mass effect verse. The Batarian government is shattered, and they are now refugees, leaving their people now free. The council races are weakened. The krogan are unchained and have an uncertain future. The rachni are back in the galaxy. The geth and quarian conflict may still rise again. There's a brooding issue of the salarians uplifting the yahg in secret. The asari government was hiding things from the their people and the rest of the galaxy. The turians, who where the military backbone of the council are weakened. And I'm sure there's more issues, but from this simple list, you can see there's a lot left to be talked about. And for christs sake, can we have more rachni involvement? One of the major selling points of the series for me was the return of the rachni, and right from the beginning, I was always waiting for a scene in the endgame, or a major battle, where the allied fleet is losing, and these ships appear, unkown to the galaxy, now revealed to be the rachni, and they sweep over the reaper forces for a major victory. But we never got it. Not one god damn peep. It's probably what upset me most about the issues in 3. But anywho, there's all the other races as well to cover, such as the hanar and drell, the elcor, the raloai, the volus, the vorcha, and all the other, out of the way forgotten about races. There's good potential, but also another chance at having a punch in the gut from bioware too. Until I hear more, I remain un-optomistic.

Edited by OmegaCircuit: 7/17/2013 12:33:15 PMI know I posted in this thread months ago saying I didn't want it at all, but now I might as well make a proper reply. - [i]Not[/i] a prequel of any sort. - A better plot than ME2 and ME3. - Proper dialogue choices. That is, far less autodialogue than ME3 (a little is okay when it doesn't make the PC act OOC and helps scenes flow better) and more than two dialogue options. - More than one hub world. - Proper side quests. That is, not fetch quests or boring horde mode sections taking place in multiplayer maps. Actual interesting side quests to find while exploring with the galaxy map. No stupid Pac-Man style mini game either. - A real quest journal. - Missions without unnecessary combat sections. That's all I really want. If there were some other things, like playing as different races or maybe returning planetary exploration, but improving it, I'd like that too.

4 RepliesI believe Bioware has confirmed it's not a direct sequal to the trilogy. There have been hints it might be a prequal, similiar to SW:KOTR was to the original SW trilogy. We'll see. I expect little after ME:3. Maybe they'll redeem themselve. Maybe not.
-
2 RepliesI think they should start a new trilogy. I think it would be pretty cool if you play as a new race that has just discovered the Mass Effect relays. Or you play as Shep's son/daughter. They could say Shepard banged Ashley or something and they had a baby. I have no idea.
-
New characters. New trilogy. Not before or during the war, I want something new.
-
An actual story, like in ME 1.

2 RepliesEdited by The Garrison: 7/17/2013 12:43:55 AMBetter exploration. It's sad how ridiculously linear Mass effect 3 became when you could previously have [b]so[/b] much freedom to fly about and explore the galaxy in the original Mass Effect.

I'd like multiple playable races like in Dragon Age origins, along with more in depth class progression.

I'd like a more fleshed out class system. I want a system with branching powers. So if I pick Engineer there's a Tech tree, a Support tree, and a Melee tree. If I focus on Combat I get powers that still fit within the Engineer class, but are more Support or combat oriented like the Supply Pylon or Arc Grenades. If I pick Melee I get upgrades to my omni-blade, maybe increased shields, and eventually jet boots like the new turians in ME3MP. Tech would be the more traditional route and you'd be able to mix and match to make the class you want. Other than that I'd like to play as any Council race, but if that's out I'd like to play as another N7 operative. I really liked that aspect of Mass Effect, but it was never truly fleshed out since Shepard became a Spectre and that superseded anything else.

Eh ME3's multiplayer was fun but some players' disliked it because it was forced on them...especially for me when you need Gold to play online to have a good ending...

5 RepliesI want to see what it can be. For Mass Effect 3 I loved it, I think the only problems I had with the ending were: A) The ending where Shepard doesn't do shit, talks about freedom of choice, and just let the Reapers win. B) Was no option to have Shepard take control of the Reapers and just command them to hurl all themselves into a sun.

I want them to take the combat/ abilities from me3 multiplayer and integrate them and more into the single player. This is most likely going to happen considering the company that did the multiplayer is working on the next game.
-
A better ending than Mass Effect 3.

2 RepliesI've said it before and I'll say it again. End the series. Originally, Mass Effect was supposed to be a trilogy, and as soon as I got wind of Bioware thinking of doing a 4th one, that was that, time to leave. Throw in the horrible time period of depression after beating 3 and it only solidified my views on backing out of the series. I can't really say I blame Bioware on the endings and all the missed opportunities they set up, (still pissed that the rachni got screwed over so hard and didn't even get a DLC in the campaign to expand a bit more on them) as they ended up writing something that was too big to finish while satisfying everybody. But they sure as hell could've done so much better than what we got. Overall, I have little interest in another title, but might check it out depending on what I hear. But I swear to god if it's a prequel, I'll ditch it right there.
