I can see where your coming from but i think they would stay away from the whole RTS arena my primary example being the terrible success of HALO:Wars.

The other ideas though really sparked my imagination and seem like they could work, although personally I see the franchise branching out into literature more than new game series as people have played through with Shepard for so long it is almost impossible to pick up a new character although the Assassins creed series have done well it was a planed endeavour to close ans shelve successive characters, and it simply wasn't with the Mass Effect series.

That said I think the better way to go would be to pick up a small solo series following either A: Shepard's offspring, or B: one of the other core characters and follow on their story line.

I would prefer personally B over A as it is a more logical and less burgeoning way to go.
