I don't get it people. Mass Effect 4 will not be a Sequel to Me3! It is not possible. Reasons:

-The Endings: You'd need create 3 hugly diffrent variants bevause of it. Destroy and Control would make a generic ending possible but with Synthesis ? How would you implement that ? New skins for all characters, including NPCs ? A green filter or what ? Its not possible.

-Choices: Because of the big choices with the rachni/geth/quarians/krogans, normal scenes become a nightmare. How are you going to design a game where you have to programm a version for each variant possible ? Quarians/Geth extinct, made peace ? Needs to be implemented somehow. Genophage, Wrex/Wreav, Tuchanka nuke ? Needs to be implemented and most importantly, explained! There are too many variables! Its like making a diffrent game for every Shepard ever... Its s programming nightmare!!

Sorry people, but you just cant make a Halo aproach here and say: 'Yea, that happend, 50 years later blablabla'. Bioware stated that because they wouldn't vontinue Sheps story they would branch out the endings a lot. That makes a Sequel impossible.

There are not many options, but my guess it with a prequel of some sort. Possibly a story in a diffrent galaxy.

Sequel is just not possible..
