User blog comment:Aleksandr the Great/Bioware HAS Written Themselves into a Corner/@comment-74.215.83.211-20121118054847

I don't want a direct sequel. I'd rather see a Prothean-era set story. It would allow for a completely different cast of characters(they did say the next protagonist would look nothing like Shepard), as well as a different/familiar galaxy. The biggest issue I see would be that, A) we already know how it ends (badly) and B) It could end up just seeming like a reskinned Original Trilogy. However, this could allow for some more...deadly story developments. Knowing that you lose in the end could allow Bioware the opportunity to off more important characters, leading to a more emotional story(or more internet rage)
