Mass Effect producer asks: prequel or new sequel?
The Internet certainly wasn't quiet with its thoughts on Mass Effect 3, leading to BioWare taking the remarkable step of expanding its ending in free DLC. With the mysterious next game in the series, BioWare is asking fans for feedback early, currently curious about whether you fancy a sequel or prequel.

"Parsing through your thoughts on the next #ME game. Would you be more interested in a game that takes place before the trilogy, or after?" series executive producer Casey Hudson said on Twitter. Go, spill your guts, whisper sweet nothings and furious rage or his Internet ear.
BioWare recently commented that the next game's star won't be just another space-soldier. BioWare Montreal will be heading the next game, taking the reins from the main studio in Edmonton studio which handled the original trilogy.
Of course, one cynical take on this question is that it's a big ploy to make fans feel they're involved in the process while BioWare will make whichever decision it jolly well pleases.
Mass Effect 3 isn't over and done with yet, mind. The sci-fi RPG has just hit Wii U, which we've reviewed, and Shepard's off to help Aria in the 'Omega' DLC later this month.

It's the end of the trilogy that focuses on Shepard. Of course they're going to make more games in the universe.

The funny thing about Mass Effect planet scanning was you got to read all of these great little stories about rebellions and events they never cover in the game. They could set up a story about one of those events that is big enough for a planet or a system of plants, but not necessarily Universe threatening.

hmm, I dont know, I mean a sequal where they are trying to repair the mass effect relays where you are a turian spectre/solider or something and stumble upon some separatists planning to hamper the rebuilding could be sort of fun.
-
IAWTP. I want a sequel where we're trying to fix the damage of the shitty ending from the last game.

The one with the explosion

I hate prequels. I'd rather move forward, not backward, since the later games will (usually) have better art and effects and you can expand on the original ideas to give people new stuff with familiarity.
Prequels always run into story problems. -
I'd be interested in a sequel without the universe-in-peril plot. Maybe limit it to a small sector of the galaxy with much more fleshed-out solar systems.
-
THIS!!! ...
I'd love to see a sandbox game where I can just be a smuggler/bounty hunter/merc/assassin/space asshole and just take missions and interactions. Give me an overarching story plot, but don't make it End of the World the sky is falling SERIOUS aliens from another galaxy are showing up absolutely ahead of us in power and are ready to rule our pitiful assess. Something low key, like one particular contigent of pissed off people.
So yeah, I guess I want FO:NV in SPPPPAAAAACCEE!!
-
Yeah I would really like to see something that was much smaller in scope. Something with a much more personal in scale that would give the player to really dive in the deep end of the universe. However this is Bioware, they don't do non-epic scale games.

Pretty much

I think that is more of the fact that Drew Karpyshyn wrote a majority of the first two games he didn't work on 3 at all. Instead he was pulled to work on SW:TOR and left Bioware shortly after it was released.
Though I must say I was having fun with 3 right up till the end and much of the rest of it worked minus the bad aftertaste the ending left you with. -

Drew wrote ME 1
Drew and Casey wrote ME 2
Casey wrote ME3
Drew was the influence for the best part (and creation) of the story.

It was Drew. He also wrote a ton of the back story, both of the introduction novels, and lead ME1.

These are kinda cool.

Where is C) New Franchise?
-
That's pretty much my thoughts. Really I hate endless sequels/prequels it just shows lack of imagination and greed. Personally I've gone back to the 1990s games, graphic suck compared with what's currently out there but the games are actually fun and have depth not just an interactive movie.
-
Sequel. I want to see a post-Reapers galaxy.
-
-
Yes, this!

Weak.

Lol can't win.

As long as they bring back Luke and Leia for it, I don't care. ;)
-
Sequel. Has to be. I hate anyone that votes prequel.
-
NO MORE PREQUELS! EVER! It should come after the trilogy but not a direct sequel in any way.
-
Hey man, just because George bit your dick off when he promised great head doesn't mean other prequels can't give the best metaphorical blowjob of your life.
-
like temple of doom, and that other good prequel.

Midquel, I want Mass Effect: C-Sec where you play a fresh C-Sec Officer immediately after the events of the first game.
Tasked with maintaining order on the Citadel after a devastating terror attack from an at that point unknown aggressor, helping with evacuation efforts and the purging of Geth remnant forces while Shepard is still under the rubble.
Later on you get to investigate uprising smuggling cartels, have a run in or two with that awesome C-Sec dude from ME2, get to decide if you stay clean or become a dirty cop and stuff. Ever tightening security measures get implemented and you're rushed through the ranks as a parade boy, you get to manage your own district and eventually have to stop fanatics from blowing up your part of the Citadel.
And all of that with the trademark BioWare cast of diverse, quirky characters. You play either a Human female or Turian male.
I want this. -
