Future Game Ideas
APOLOGIES, i write a lot. Probably should preface this by saying i have probably heard others mention some of these ideas in the past and just forgotten it, i doubt i am the first to have this thoug...

Honestly Im not sure a prequel could work w/o a human protagonist just because people will want to be a human. As interesting as the rachni and krogan rebellions may be, Im not sure if they would hold peoples interest enough.
I dont recall the protheons and rachni fighting. I also believe it was hinted at, I think in ME3, that the rachni were actually developed to fight to the reapers but they grew too big and their inability to communicate with other races is what led to the war.
Honestly, the milky way needs to be let go imo and the focus needs to be on making andromeda great. There's a lot of potential in the story already with the kett jardaan, scourge and angara.
For the protheons, itd basically be an ME3 rehash in fighting the reapers. As interesting learning about them may be, the story is too similar.
Omega, as cool as it is, i dont think theres enough there for a whole game. An omega like stationnfound in andromeda i wouldnt mind, but it already has meridian which should play a big part in the next andromeda (should that be what bioware is working on)
Dont take my post wrong; Im not saying your ideas are bad by any means and they do sound interesting. I like side stories in established universes but i dont know if theres enough for thes to be full games in themselves. And an ME game that is essentially a bunch of mini games Im not sure would capture the fanbases attention enough.
Its cool your excited and all, so a suggestion: write some fanfic. Doesnt matter if you ever show it to anyone, but its fun to do. I do it myself.
Oh i agree some of these are better than others, personally i want more andromeda galaxy because they have established a threat and i want to see where it goes but a lot of people still love the milky way and i believe there are stories to explore there, just smaller scale enemies than the reapers :P hard to top a extinction cycle every 50,000 years.
in response to human protagonists, yeah that was my biggest concern, i know we humans like to roleplay as ourselves xD I thought the shadow broker being kidnapped might be the only way i could explain a human rocking up as the protagonist.
i believe Javik said something along the lines of "the rachni were a formidable foe in our cycle too" which i assumed meant they fought.
Not every mass effect game has to be part of a huge trilogy, i wouldnt mind some individual games with their own story, they dont always have to be triple A in scope.
As much fun as the MW was I think people need to let it go. With all the choices made its impossible to do anything but a prequel amd I just don't believe ME fans will settle for that. I agree there are interesting stories available, but they'd probably be better explored in a different media.
Andromeda has so much untapped potential and I really think a sequel is the way to go. EA and Bioware just need to get their gears in line to make it successful as they absolutely did not the for the first one.
Again, I just don't recall Javik saying that, so I'm not saying you're wrong about a protheon-rachni war just that I don't remember. That would be an interesting story to read.
I agree games dont always need to be massive and AAA titles, but I'm just not sure if a smaller scale ME game would be accepted.
