All ending are bad endings where Shepard is indoctrinated. Next game you play as someone else and have to kill what's left of Shepard.
How would you continue the Mass Effect universe? Spoilers

I "trust" Bioware to either give up to the fans,and accept post citadel entering indocrination theory, or to let this franchise die a swift death. Any other touches besides fixing the endings will be money grabs.
Am I the only one who doesn't want a prequel? Prequels always seem to be used by developers not to flesh out a story but purely as a money grab since they can't think of a rational way to continue the story. I think the only game they could sell is one that establishes what the hell happens after the ending of ME3. I mean its not like their FTL capability can get them very far very fast, they would have to build new star ships capable of longer distance travel and probably with enough stasis pods for the crew.
Except that KOTOR2 was buggy because of LucasArts shortening the development time to 13 months. But yes, I would like them do to ME what they did to KOTOR because Obsidian can actually write.pandorum said:
Just retcon 2&3, find Bioware's notes before they were bought by EA, and make that. Then, make an rts and multiplayer during the reaper war that's lore friendly, good, and ties in together like dust 514/eve online.
EDIT: I think that this is speeding up the slow decline that started after Bioware was bought. I guessed that something like this was coming, but I was going to give it 1-2 more games before Bioware pulled something that had a reaction of this magnitude. I'd give them at roughly 2 more poo sequels before they're shut down by EA.

ending aside.....
Id be happy to let it rest
that said they could conintue (well not with the ending taken at face vaule) I mean the universe is a big place...a "armageddon" scenario doesnt have to occur to have high stakes
just one thing
LEAVE SHEPARD OUT OF IT
seriously, I dont care how awkward it is to not specifiy sven shepard gender..but igve us that, shepard is somone we grew attachted too, I dont want to be stuck with "default" male shep
EDIT: ohhh what about a prequel feauring nihlus?

That reminds me of the Robot chicken with the janitor that always has to clean up the sith and jedi body's.Skoldpadda said:
I believe most of the outrage associated with the ending of Mass Effect 3 is that they made it impossible to make any more games in that universe.
What would Star Trek be without Warp Drive?
What would Star Wars be without The Force?
Mass Effect 3 shot itself in the foot by destroying the Mass Relays and stranding everyone important in the galaxy in orbit around Earth.
Mass Effect 3 is as big a disappointment as Godfather 3 or Star Wars 1-3 ... we wish it never happened, but now that it has the only thing that's left is prequels and tangents.

But they can not end a game right, look at FONV they told us we would have a definitive ending but instead you get the same shitty slideshow ending FO3 did, but they never thought that Bethesda took some heat for that that people would not be happy with the same crap? and it had the same engine that FO3 had and was patched up eventually but then there game was even bugger than the last one? They never learn.Lunar Shadow said:
The slide show thing is tradition (and given Obsidian is made up of Black Isle peeps, why wouldn't they keep it) and Bethesda was responsible for the QA of New Vegas.pandorum said:

seriously, nothing about the Me3 ending prevent future relays from being built.
It is literally nothing like completely removing the force or warp drives from Star Wars and Star Trek.
Just to be clear, I believe obsidian are great writers who can not end a game well or build a game, all are really buggy and everyone all ways makes an excuse about it im sorry that is just BS I do not believe they get shafted by every studio they work with.Lunar Shadow said:
A chronologic continuation of the mass effect universe doesn't really appeal to me as there just doesn't seem to be anywhere to go with it.
I'd favour a prequel, particularly one telling the origins of Saren where we could see him rise to becoming the no. 1 spectre, his hatred of humanity grow (and even get to see him screw over Anderson), his relationship with Nihlus and ultimately discovering sovereign and becoming indoctrinated. In ME1 when liara raises the question of what was Saren's original intention when he discovered sovereign (raising the potential of him being sovereign first victim) it really peaked my interest. Sure the 'end' of the story we all know but damn if I don't want to see the journey that got Saren there.

I wouldn't, mostly because I wouldn't want to have to deal with it's bloody fans.
