I think we're forgetting how big the Mass Effect universe is. If I'm correct when one of Bioware's employess retired a few weeks ago he confirmed that a new Mass Effect will be made.

Why not make the story happen before the Reapers were around? Maybe make you play as a race who fights the Leviathons? Think of it this way, you play as a species who is just colonizing there own system. ( remember this is before the mass relay's are built so it takes a long time to achieve interstellar travel ) when suddenly one of the species under The Leviathons control attempts a takeover of the system because your race refused to become their servants / slaves.

The possabilities are endless.
