[Feedback] IDEAS & THOUGHTS REQUEST FOR ME5

Hello,

My name is Michael, and I would like to express my genuine opinion about the Mass Effect games bioware has wonderfully created over the years. I aslo want to share my thoughts and ideas on how I would like to see the next upcoming Mass Effect game to have. 

Can you find a better game then Mass Effect?

Bioware has created exceptional games that have shown they have a team of outstanding professional working individuals with great vision. I have played many games over multiple consoles throughout the years, but only one game have i enjoyed playing countless times over and over again was their Mass Effect creations. I have played all of the Mass Effect games and overall have found them to be outstanding. Being that it has been over 12 years now that i still cant get enough of Mass Effect, and I still  have not found any other game in it's entirity that keeps me playing it again and again. 

Mass Effect is apart of me now, as bioware's team has done an exceptional job behind them all. I have all of their DLC content you could possibly have for Mass Effect. In the past I have commented on ideas and thoughts i have had that i wanted to see in the future Mass Effect games before they were released. I have seen my own interests in the games itself and have been very pleased to say my thoughts made it then and hope they make it to you all now.

Mass Effect and it's theme, layout, background,  and concept are what make this game so very damn special. (Excuse my French) I am pleased that Mass Effect was created as a dialog game filled with choices that gave the game it's sense of realness to it. It has made a successful feat in giving the game its personal connection to bond the player to all the characters. As a dialog game it did not abandon to bring the action packed fighting. In choosing certain dialog choices they could affect the denouement on how the game was played to the end. 

I am pleased with the creation of ME2 and ME3 and how much improvements were made. What I would like to continue and see more of in detail is the creating and leveling of weapons,  upgrades, and armour. Please bring Armour upgrades to Shepards suit as an add on similar to how the weapons can be upgraded. I would like to see more consequences that affect more of the story as I feel it would keep the player from making trash and brash decisions.  To give them more connection to their characters. More variables and outcomes! More scene interrupts! Love those! More charm and intimidate options, and more challenge to unlock those choices; by how you play and how you rank your characters charm and intimidation chart. I would like to see another secret organization that comes from cerberus's defeat. Something that announces an extended idea out of cerberus's progress in their rebellious work. I would like to see more characters that Shepard can team up with in fights. I would like to see that some characters are not an option due to the poor choices Shepard could make. This will keep players mindful that their choices have dire consequences.  I would like the scanning of probing planets to still be apart of ME5. I would like to see the geth be more apart of ME5 to honor fulfilling legions vision. I would like to see some Reaper tech as a vital part of being apart of upgrades to weapons Armour. To make obtaining advanced upgrades hard to get. I would also like better options in customization of Shepards appearance. 

I would like to see more classes that are different and that each class cannot be played so easily without giving some thought in practicing complex strategies.  I would love to see the enemies have higher intelligence when coming to combat action scenes.  To make the player have to think of how they choose to attack. To see squadmates have improved intelligence as well with how Shepard is played in fight scenes to play off his lead with flanking enemies.  

I want to see more romance scenes by an extra 30% to the game, to bring back loyalty missions for squad mates, and have new weapons as well as keeping the old ones. Also to have to find secret weapons or upgrades or Armour and not just given to you. I would like to see journalists and press in the game still. I like the Aramx Stadium concept still. I would like to see more outfits as well. I hope to see that Shepard has to gain experience not only by finding things or shooting enemies but has to craft some things to get the desired weapon, Armour, or hybrid upgrade. Not to make crafting a thing but to be able to build through variety of composing certain things together. 

I would like to see a little more fighting in missions where timing is everything or else, as well as time sensitive missions can be missed majorly if not done in time or if Shepard chooses the wrong thing to say.  I would like to see the true leviathans in action as a small note.  I would like to see shepard have a family or not depending on his romance life. I want to see more squadmates react to Shepards choices where they might be weary of Shepard and that the player has to build a bond with squadmates that increase their relationship by talking to them more, as well as taking them on missions.  Allowing that if you only play with 2 favorite squadmates that they are weak in battle and influence when brought on a mission for the first time.

I seen more thought to one game then I have any other game that the entire story starts from ME1 affecting ME3. To me that is amazing and I don't feel there is any other game like this one. Where characters revert to the past. All of the Mass Effect games  bioware has made is just major accomplishment in itself I will be sad when the story of ME really ends. I hope thwy can share the same concept to another game one day after ME is long done being made. 

Thank you all at Bioware for your time and effort to create ME in it's entirity.  I want you all to know you are a dedicated team of sharp minded individuals and look forward to the new ME5 release. May my thoughts give you ideas as well. Stay creating and stay bioware.

Kind regards,

Michael

    @FaultyPlanes Thank you for taking the time to write all of this out. This is a lot to go through and consider for the next game in the series. Mass Effect is a crucial series within the RPG world and we are extremely excited to see what comes down the pipeline. We appreciate you taking the time to write this and we will send it off to the appropriate teams for review!

    Thank you!

  • Biggest letdown for ME3 are all the useless weapons and buggy DLCs.

    One idea for Mass Effect 5 is to use Einstein-Rosen bridge which is a wormhole then you could track down the Reapers location and open up a wormhole and launch say an antimatter bomb into their location for their great and final destruction.

    Id love to hear more thoughts on why this would or would not work out! Sounds easy, especially with the current level of technology.

    It would not be easy as you would need an alien that knows the technology. Like after through a few years of peace the Reaper's once again attack for say revenge on Earth and then the Commander shortly after that receives on the Normandy a garbled quantum message from an alien scientist from another nearby galaxy. There you go it's a lot more harder. Anyway more scientists will be needed though.

    Also the alien scientist should know how to turn a mini star into a mini black hole and know how to build a Dyson sphere to contain the mini black hole and also a vortex manipulator for incoming energy would be required as well.

  • I got loads of nowadays useless ideas written down of course in lots of notepads.

  • I am really looking forward to mass effect five, if possible I’d like to add some suggestions for the New ME5 Construction.

    After the collapse of the reapers in ME3, There are so many options, for the game to progress, as it’s like a huge blank sheet, With so many possibilities, as reconstruction starts as heroes and societies struggle to bring order to the chaos after the damage by the reapers.

    1. I would like to see a Justicar, in ME5, They have to potential to bring mystery, and depth in the way that they operate under their code. Maybe seeing a training temple for the Justicar would be interesting. Or following adjusted car as they tracked down a lawbreaker. 

    1b Keep using the system where instances or decisions made by Shepherd with characters get to be carried over into the next game, it’s a really unique feature that I love about the game. It makes me want to buy more mass effect to be honest. 

    1b I love the additional downloadable add-ons to the main mass effect games, I’m very happy to pay extra money to suppy extra EA business. The shadow broker dlc and from the ashes are Reilly good. I’m happy to spend extra money, to get extra downloads for the mass effect games, The DLC, are always very high-quality and and add extra depth to the Mas effect experience in my opinion.

    1c  keep Having the possibility of characters appearing in another game after ME5.

    1d AI characters are really cool and I would like to see them feature in ME5 both as an EDI in a actual Bodily  form l as in ME3, Or in a ship, or as an implant, as in the Adromeda series.

    2. The storyline in ME 1, ME2, ME3 and Andromeda are really really good.and ensure , I buy more massive effect games

    That said Andromeda was slightly different in that sometimes it became repetitive, what you did on one planet you did pretty similar on the second, whereas the original ME series Kept being unpredictable in the gameplay so keep doing the unexpected. Andromeda Was a little bit frustrating as it missed out some of the species, from ME1,2,3 So ensuring that although species are represented in ME5 is a good thing


    That said, I still replay Adromeda As the feel of being on a different world is really strong with the andromeda.art and scenery.

    I’m not sure if it’s possible, but I really enjoy Cerberus who make quality villains That deepen the plot , that Shepherd and other heroes need to fight, I would love it is something similar to Cerberus appeared in mass effect five or even the original Cerberus Somehow, reincarnated itself. 

    3. Keep having trophies or items that are found at the end of a section of the game, I love collecting these, and I like your idea that these can be passed on to the next game, ME2  to ME such as the Space Hamster, Fish and model ships. Personally, I would also like to collect art or weapons or other memorabilia from a section of the game as Mementos.

    4. I like the quirky features like the space hamster, KEI9, Keep doing them, it adds to the flavour of the ME game. I like how the KEI9 Is in the background of conversations between Shepherd and a crewmate, (Photo bombs them )it adds some humour and fun. Personally, I would like to see the space hamster in a plastic ball that runs around the ship or something similar.

    5. I am an adult, who has been playing Mass effect, since it first came out, and my son grew up playing Mas effect, it’s something that we play together and talk about still. Because I work, I tend to buy guides on how to play the game, to speed up maximise my quality time actually playing, as I have other duties, again I’m happy to pay for guides, as I like doing the research on how to play mass effect properly,, and it adds my appreciation to the depth and quality of the game.

    6. Sorry to write so much, as I know you are very busy in your work, but I really enjoy what EA have provided with the mass effect series, I’m hoping it will run as  long as long as possible.

    To all the EA Staff, thank you and keep doing the good work 👍

    all the best James 👍

    And this is what I like. Lots of feedback. That = lots of discussions! We all know it will be a bit before the next one, so the more we discuss the more feedback the team has to alter any ideas and make the next installment a much more enjoyable game for the players.
