Mass Effect 5: Story Ideas
Hey all, I'm sure many of you may have heard that a new Mass Effect game is in "Very early development." I'm not sure about you guys but that got me excited and I immediately started to think about w...

I had a possible idea for a sequel of sorts, although the idea would potentially change up the entire Mass Effect series. My idea involved the use of the black hole in Andromeda to travel through time and space (similar to Interstellar) to a point within the original Mass Effect trilogy to help change history. So basically you'd accidentally travel back in time as the Ryder siblings and some of the MEA crew, and end up working with Shepard and his/her crew to stop the events of ME3 before the every happen.
That black hole idea is pretty good. Maybe have the Andromeda Initiative show up right at the end of ME3 with an armada of Remnant dreadnoughts in tow to defeat the Reapers. They could get some help from the Angara and Kett forces as well to prevent the crucible from having to be fired. I would still like Shepard to take a back seat in all of this. I think it would be good to have him be gravely wounded but not dead to the point where he has to retiree in peace with his love interest but the Pathfinders are the ones running the show now. It's probably the best way to open up Milky Way to us and fix those endings in a way that makes sense.
I agree, that would be a perfect idea, have the Ryder Twins talk to Shepard about the Reapers, since he knows a lot about them, then have the twins talk to Dr. T'soni about the Protheans. her knowledge spans 50 yrs this way they can get a better understanding of what they will face.
I don't want to go back to the original trilogy and I think so many's desire to go back to it is one of the reasons MEA failed: people won't let it go. I loved Shepard and crew too, but the story is done, let's move on and create something else grand. Andromeda has so much untapped potential with the remnant, kett, scourge and colonization that weren't available in the Milky Way. Yet at every turn its "how can we get back to shepard, the milky way and reapers?" Even from those that loved andromeda. How can a new series work if people wont let go of the old one? It cant, and this mindset will cause any future ME games to fail. Let it go everyone. I cant understand people wanting more of the same and not something new.
As for Reaper vs Architect? Reaper, easy. And architect can be taken down by a soldier with small arms and a reaper cant. They had to call in orbital bombardment in ME3 to kill one because small arms were useless. If small arms hurts an architect, a reaper beam will tear it up easy.
