NO! No WAY I want a prequel for ME. It would ruin the serious. I would so so pay for a Battle of Earth expansion for ME3 to play as a different human protagonist. Back to topic, even though ME3 endings were very anticlimatic, the EC dlc has given a possibility for ME4. I don't ME4 to be set 200-500 years later. How about 5 years later as another human N7 cmdr. Command a different SSV frigate (not the normandy). New squad mates like Gillian Grayson and Nick from the Deception novels, batarian, krogan, asari, salarian and maybe a yahg or raloi. When importing ME3 save to ME4 your EMS has to be above 3000 so the universe can continue/survive or the game can't play. Ok so how will the game be the same because Destroy, Synthesis and Control are all different? Here is my explanation: Similarities (Major/Minor) When the reapers are defeated, Controled and Sythensised Reapers rebuild the mass relays/planets, they give information to organic/synthetics about previous civilisations and guard systems from anything that wants to threaten the peace (pirates, mercs ect). In destroy, organics rebuild the mass relays and gather information from reaper corpses about tech and civilisations. Their is still peace between all organics and AI & VI's are restored (except the Geth) and no stoneage apocalypse. In all 3 ending scenarios, the citadel is rebuilt and stays above earth. Every friendly species is in on the council seat, except for the Krogan, qurians and the geth (geth are destroyed in destroy so their seat is left open) due to shepards actions in ME3. Also all the reaper ground solders in control and synthesis are dead as the organics wanted the reapers ships to deactived their victims so they can R.I.P. For Qurians that survived ME3, the quarian adapt to any enviroment in less than five years, giving us a chance to see their faces even if you destroy the geth who if you saved them help the quarians adapt faster. Major/Minor Storyline differences: Ranoch: Ranoch can either be controled by Qurians or Geth or both. If you killed the quarians in me3 and picked destroy all synthetics in me3 ending, Rannoch will be desolate with no one on the surface. Genophage Cured: If wrex is leading and Eve is alive, the krogan have a council seat, Wrex is really happy and you get to see his children, more krogan around on the citadel hub and other planets. No Eve, like genophage cured but wrex will have no children around him on the citadel. If wreav is leading and Eve is alive, the krogan have a council seat, wreav is more agressive to other species than wrex is, wreav has children and still many krogan on planet/citadel hubs. No Eve, Wreav and the krogan aren't on the council seat and he lives on tuchunka as king but has made a peace decleration with council species to not go to war with them. Genephage Sabotaged: Warning SPOILERS! After Shepard or c-sec kills Wrex (because he wanted revenge on Shepard) and Eve survided, their is no council seat, no krogan on hubs and Eve orders all krogan not to go to major war with the council species as the krogan are only confined to tuchunka and try and survive with peace. If Eve died, a female krogan takes her place and orders this to all krogan.This however changes a little bit if synthesis was chosen as Eve or female krogan and a unamed male krogan are king and queen of Tuchunka with no council seat and they accept the council peace offer and conolize only tuchunka with the genephage cured. If Wreav is leader he finds out about the sabotaged cure after the reapers are defeated. If control or destroy were chosen, he declares war on the species but is banished on tuchunka and forced to abide the councils terms or tuchunka will face a second nuclear holecust. Eve stands by his side or a different female krogan. If synthesis was chosen and eve survived then it is the same scenario as the genophage cured with wreav leading and Eve surving. So yeah thats it. Its just the krogan, geth and quarian need a small part in ME4 so the game can flow with not many variables from them. ME4 just needs a new protagonist with a different personality to shepard, same rpg setup, better third person shooter mechanics, put more action stuff to do like deus ex (drag bodies, snap necks, climb the edges of walls), more romances on the ship and you can have a romance partner on earth or the citadel to different species, dine, go to the movies or fun activies and drive hover cars around places like in GTA. Also ME4 can be about using ground-breaking technology, the combat has taken on a all new level like on COD:BlackOps2. ME4 you can fly the F-61 Trident Fighter, A-61 Mantis Gunship and UT-47A Kodiak Drop Shuttle and drive the Mako, Hammerhead, Grizzly and a bunch of other new vehicles on certain main missions and exploration. And if you don't import a ME3, you can choose out of D/C/S (disregarding refuse) and select one out of three canon scenarios in each ME3 ending that will affect ME4 to start. Whew sorry for the wall of text but this is how I hope and believe ME4 can pan out from the choices of ME3.
