User blog comment:Reaper Salvation/Mass Effect 4- Sequal Prequal or something else/@comment-7622429-20140206145543

Really, I'm curious to see what new directions, if any, Bioware will take for the new Mass Effect game. Though, realistically, the best way to approach a new story is for it to take place outside the main galactic involvement. Sure, references and allusions to such events can be made, but there's simply too much pre-established material in terms of sequels and prequels to work with. Thus, a sidestory separate from Shepard and co. that doesn't necessarily revolve around saving the galaxy from the biggest threats directly works best.
