The technology would not be drastically different, but a prequel would still have some "lesser" weapons. I'm sure that would be fine, but my argument is more on the fact that a future game would have improved graphics and game play. I don't want to go back and play something that looks better than what will take place a few decades ahead. We don't even know if another ME game will appear on this generation of consoles. Everything is up in the air.

I think the Yahg would be a good choice. We don't know a lot about them yet and they continued to be mentioned briefly in ME3 with the Reapers avoiding Parnack. For all we know the planet could be overpopulated with the species. It has also been a long time since surveyors landed on the planet. The Yahg could have advanced at an incredible rate.

As for Cerberus, I just can't see TIM's death being the end of it.
