1. I prefer a sequel before a prequel. Halo Reach was an exeption, but I don't really like prequels in general, especially to games.

2. About Synthesis: Remember about the Klingons change in appearance from Star Trek TOS, to TNG + the movies? That is explained in Star Trek Enterprise, episode 15-16 season 4. There, the Klingons suffered from a virus, that the crew from the Enterprise were able to cure, using human DNA. But as a side-effect millions of Klingons looks like humans after they have been cured, wich will be passed on by their children. But the doctor of the Enterprise says that it someday may be reversible, giving it a few generations. Thereby; 150-200 years later, the Klingons looks normal again. I think this would be the logical move for BioWare on a sequel. And I would not call it cheap. It seems more logical.

3. There's nothing (yet really) that says the Reapers would be around in the galaxy after the ending of ME3. Sure, they help rebuild the galaxy in two cases. But after? The Catalyst even said that if the Synthesis-option is chosen, the Reapers would end their harvest, and leave the galaxy alone. Same would possibly go with Control. They have no real reason to be around with Shepard as the master AI. (Of course if you was a renegade character in Control...well thats another matter.)

(4. If a sequel was made, and set over 500 years later, who would not want to meet Liara, if she is alive, at the closing years of her Matron stage? ;) )

Okay I think I've babbled enough for now.
