I think going back might be a good idea for the mass effect world. Either go back, or go far. The story could assume the first contact war in which Shepard gains his infamy. Or possible a relay is discovered that leads to the andromeda galaxy? New factions with violent and turbulent races a long side peaceful graceful establishments like the Milky Way. I would prefer a "far" option in another galaxy however many games go back before they go forward. Look at Halo for instance.
