User blog comment:SanjayBeast/Mass Effect : where will we go now?/@comment-124.170.47.146-20120604222028

I mainly just lurk, so I don't have a name here really, but ever since mass effect 2 I thought that there was a huge possibility for games in the terminus systems (Well, citadel space too) Basically, I always thought that there was a wealth of content around the mercenary/pirating groups in the terminus and that the new protagonist could be a member of it and rise through the ranks (blah, blah, blah) Because we can't have anything that occurs after ME3 (well we could, but it would be messy as hell and feel as though we had little impact) During 1-2 would work, but I'd prefer it if the new game took place before the Eden Prime incident. Humans would still be the underdog, turians would still distrust them, and the batarian-human animosity could be a rich area for story. I wouldn't expect too much from a follow up game to the Shepard franchise because A) It's extremely hard to follow up such a good series, and B) EA are a bunch of [insert expletive]. So, an Origins style mechanic would be cool (The multiplayer in ME3 has shown that you CAN play as other species) but I wouldn't get my hopes up because it may be too hard to get the story to focus on too many variables and we may just need the more 'human' connection to our protagonist. The stakes in the game wouldn't be as high as Shepard's story, so it would be much wiser to have a more personal story with a greater focus on your crew/squadmates. I.E. More cutscenes and dialogue.
