I didn't mean that peace is bad or anything, from an in-universe standpoint. I meant that I don't want my favorite fictional universe to stagnate. Synthesis leaves nothing to do. No conflicts to resolve (even minor ones), nothing to learn. It's all been resolved and learned already, which means there's an eternity of galactic unity and peace, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The thing I dislike about it is the terrible stagnation that removes the chance of anything fun or interesting ever coming out of post-ME3 works, be they games, movies, books, or what have you.

There couldn't be a sequel. Now, I am aware that some people are staunchly opposed to a sequel, but I would rather like one. I've invested quite a bit of time into that galaxy, and I'd love to see how it all plays out. I mean, I want to see how the quarian-geth peace I created turns out, and how my team impacted things after the war, and if Cerberus is truly gone for good, and a million other things. ME3 gave us a lot of big choices, and naturally I want to see what the effects of those choices are. We got a couple of slides on some of them, but you can only learn so much from a still picture. Also, it would be difficult to incorporate choices into a prequel, because we pretty much know what went down in the past.
