Mass Effect 4 protagonist...

I think whatever they do they should set the story at least 100-150 years after Shephard dies. That way you can still have some characters from the first trilogy around, like Liara and Wrex (I'm pretty sure I remember krogans living that long, maybe not).
That way you can really see how the galaxy's changed and how different places revere the Legend of Shepard, but it's not so far into the future you don't recognize the galaxy.

I want to play as a Hanar warrior with an incredibly masculine, thick, scottish accent, and a particular fondness for battleaxes and biscuits. And Schizophrenia.
That, or letting us create our own character. But I like my suggestion better.
Although I'm not sure if having a Mass Effect 4 wishlist is a reasonable thing here. Bioware has taken a rather steady way downhill, so I'd think most fans would consider the next sequel milking the franchise and raping their beloved universe. As for myself, I think I'll let Dragon Age 3 be the final verdict for the company in my eyes, since I am a merciful consumer.

Excuse me...! That's a bit rude, dontcha think? Chill.Jynthor said:
OT: I agree with shilefin. Angus the Scottish Hanar would be awesome.
They should go for a character completely unlike Sheperd. Unknown, brought up in the depths of Omega (or something) and trying to climb up that grimy, bloody ladder. An anti-hero. They should go for full grit. I'd buy that game.
Personally, since Dragon Age and Mass Effect are handled by completely separate teams, I'm going to be judging them separately based on their own merits. And really, as long as they bring back the dialogue system from either of the first two but keep the gameplay of the third, I'll be interested no matter what the story is like.Shilefin said:
Though I think we should be allowed to choose from the various alien races as the protagonist, too, and unfortunately I don't really see that happening.
As long as I can play as a Drell I don't care if the plot is about hugging every Elcor in the galaxy.
Can we stop pretending that "Bioware" is deciding anything. You've got EA's Schutzstaffel stationed at Edmonton making sure things go according to plan, so you're pretty much guaranteed that nothing is going to be made with the care and zeal of yesteryear. And forget about anything being particularly creative or original; this is going to be a by-the-numbers development.
Remember that forgettable, no-necked, fauxhawked dump-truck that was forced into your squad in ME3? What was his name again? Tank, or Brick, or Toughguy or some shit? Welcome to Bioware's future.

Fun fact: the multiplayer in ME3 was based off a cancelled Mass Effect FPS.
On topic, I hope that we get to see some of the backstories for some of Mass Effect's races. Things like the Rachni Wars, or the Krogan Rebellion. I want to see the conflicting views about using the Krogan genophage.

I'd prefer to see a prequel if anything, perhaps let us play as Garrus during his time as Archangel, building his team and hunting mercs on omega. Alternately I wouldn't mind seeing a game set during the Rachni wars or the Krogan Rebellions, humans weren't part of the galactic community back then so we'd have the choice of one of the other races for our character, like the Asari or Turians.
If its a stand alone game (no sequels) and lets you custom create a character of a multitude of races and he/she doesn't have a set name, I'll more than likely be on board.
I'd like a game based on exploration and travelling the universe rather than saving it...

I would like to be able to chose and create my own race and character, and have the people in the world react to that in some small way as they do in the Elder Scrolls games. And i still stand behind the Mass Effect universe being absolutely perfect for a personal story-line. The main character's family gets murdered and he/she's out for revenge, chasing their murderers through the Omega slums and Illium skyscrapers, it could be totally awesome, especially if they make it a bit Deus Ex-like where if you're a Drell your missions will be more stealth-like, or if you're a Krogan you're missions will have a slight action slant to them.
I think the ending of ME3 shouldn't ruin the fact that the universe BioWare built really is ripe with opportunity and it'd be a shame if some publisher misstep ruined all that work by the development team.
