Re: New Shepard Story
Hi, first thing, thank you for reading whole thing i wrote. Indeed, i am big fan of Mass Effect and i believe it has big potential to continue and succeed again. I was reading somewhere that Bioware said that "things are warming back up" (maybe new game is in pre-production) when it comes to ME. Now, i don't know if that was some PR stuff or not, but they should most definitely consider new ME game that, at least, ties with original ME series. I'm not sure about what would story be exactly, but i do know they could come up with something.
Again, in my opinion, they should come with canon ending because then new games would make sense. Like you said, all three games were about Reaper threat and since first game we wanted everyone to know about Reapers and find a way to destroy them. So, following that logic, it would make sense that canon ending would be to choose to destroy them. Because, why would you want to control them or even combine synthetics and humans? Deciding to control them or synthesis everyone would be against what everyone wanted. No one on his squad or whole Galaxy would want that. Whole point was to destroy them and end that threat.
What am i trying to say is that, if BioWare wants to continue ME, they should choose canon ending and go on from there. What would new games be about? I really don't know, like you said, we've been all over the galaxy did all sort of stuff, but it doesn't mean that there's nothing left to do. Surly they can come up with something that players would love and find interesting. Reapers were main story and threat of original series, but something new can take place for new games.
If not Milky Way galaxy then maybe combine Milky Way with Large and small Magellanic cloud. They could contain some new big threat after the Reapers are destroyed. Just my opinion.
It would be hard for Bioware to make new trilogy that would stand up to the original, but not impossible. They need to focus on new and inspiring story, which is hard, you pointed that out nicely, but they could come up with something.
Again, no offense, i really appreciate your comment and fact that you've read my post, and you are correct on some stuff regarding new games, but i'm sure that they could make something as equal as first three games. Hard...but possible.
Mass Effect and Dragon Age are really awesome games/universes and it would be shame to just leave them were they are at the moment.
Andromeda, imho, was interesting idea, but not for a game. Rather some book, movie or something.
Shepard's story could go on if they can come up with equally good story as with Reapers. Thank you again, for reading and sorry for long text.
