The Mass effect universe can go with another series after the John Shepard/Jane Shepard story is done I mean they have only touched less than one percent of the universe. What I want to see is a game that you play maybe as shepards offspring who knows but let johnny and jane die in peace and the orgins idea is not bad that might be fun
Agreed, sequels to a planned out trilogy in a franchise are usually a bad idea.Hiphophippo said:
I know plenty of people that would like to take the Drangon Age approach and be able to choose any race for your character. Asari, Human, Drell, Batarian, Quarian, Turian, Krogan, Volus, Salarian.
Take your pick.
Failing that they could just let the series rest in peace. Or maybe not.

I'm sure I read somewhere that a BioWare member suggested that they would only have the Trilogy and then they would move on... Maybe I'm thinking of something else?Petromir said:
While a Mass Effect MMO would probably be great, it's not going to happen. Bioware are already going to have a sci-fi MMORPG in the form of The Old Republic, so essentially they'd just be competing with themselves.Chicago Ted said:
Personally I'd like to see a Mass Effect: Origins kind of game, where you could choose between a few different races and backgrounds. I'd love to be able to play as a Turian.
Also, I actually think there's a lot of room in the backstory of existing party members to perhaps have games based off their time before they joined Shepard. What about a game following the exploits of Wrex while he was a mercenary? Or a game about Garrus's time at C-Sec?
One thing that would be interesting, at least to me, would be a prequel story, featuring the rise of the Geth, with you playing as a quarian.
I don't get why so many people in this thread are saying that the Shepard's story should be the only games that take place in the Mass Effect universe. BioWare has crafted this massive universe full of a diverse number of species, planets, conflicts, factions, etc. There is so much going on in this universe, both in the past and the present, that we have not seen. You could make a game in this universe that is completley different from Shepard's story, yet still has a legitimate connection to the Mass Effect universe. To see BioWare throw away this unique and interesting setting after only 3 games seems pretty wasteful when there is so much more you can do with it.
If BioWare just keeps pumping out third-person shooters then I'd see your point, but I'm saying that a large number of games across genres could be made that fit into the Mass Effect universe. Why do you guys have a problem with this happening? Does something instantly get boring and stale the second it appears in more than 3 games? If so, why are we still playing games with dwarves and elves?

But that would just involve getting shot and killed/running away.thebobmaster said:
Of all the possibilities I think this would be best but it's the least likely. Remember EA owns Bioware now, they're only going to stop makeing Mass Effect games until Bioware has been ground into the dust and they make one, last awful game that will leave a sour taste in Bioware's fans for years to come.The DSM said:
Really? What makes you say that? It has countless of races, conflicts and is rich with history and lore. What exactly is not big about that?Hiphophippo said:
It's not the fact that it's big. That's nothing. What happens on Mario's moon? We can go down this road forever. My issue is that it's a planned trilogy and I think any game beyond the story arc pollutes the original experience.Cowabungaa said:
Then I'm not sure you understood the new game they're planning; it's not about Shepard, it's an entirely new game just set in the same universe. Mass Effect 3 will end Shepard's storyline, and probably the Reaper thing too. A new game would not be a part of the original trilogy.Hiphophippo said:
And if you did understood that I'm not getting your point of view. Why would it pollute the original game? The original Mass Effect trilogy stands on it's own, any game that follows it up will only share it's universe, that's it. Do explain
