User blog comment:Rusty650/About the Idea of "Mass Effect 4"/@comment-98.207.255.174-20130627202111

Maybe during the Prothean cycle, a group activated a dormant mass relay and aimed it at the Andromeda galaxy. Using what they knew about mass relay technology, they developed their own relay system. Flash forwards 50,000 years. A group of refugees from every race finds the relay and uses it to find Prothean Empire, mark 2. It would eliminate the twin problems of too much and too little choice. Prequel-too little. You know how it's going to end, no matter what you do. Sequel. That would have so many options, it would probably require a dozen discs. 1)Destroy-Shepard dies. 2) Destroy-Shepard lives. 3)Control. 4)Synthesis. 5)Genophage cured. 6)Genophage sabotaged. ect,ect,ect. See? This solves most of the problems. To tie it in talk about Ashley/Kaiden dying on Virmire, the suicide mission, heck, even put some non-criminal Batarians in there (if there are any).
