Mass Effect Amazon series should be a prequel, not a sequel
It was announced on N7 day that the show being made for Amazon is gonna be taking place after Mass Effect 3. Does anyone else see this as a massive mistake and missed opportunity? With how much we shape the galaxy throughout these games, creating what's effectively gonna be a hard-canon future with the TV show is doomed to a dark place in this series. If anything is gonna take place after ME3, then I want it to import my save and I will accept nothing less. That doesn't mean I'm averse to having a Mass Effect series. In fact, if we got something taking place before ME1, such as the First Contact War and the conflicts with the Batarians, that would be **bleep** awesome. I imagine it mainly following Anderson's perspective (he is the guy that Shepard succeeds, both in role and reputation. As Pressly describes the man, "If he melted down all of his medals, he could build a life-sized gold statue of himself."), but possibly jumping between him and, say Chakwas and Hackett, maybe Jack Harper, and for the Batarian arc then throw Zaeed and Major Kyle into the mix. With a prequel instead of a sequel, we would have an introduction for newcomers rather than an answer that could strongly upset just about everyone. And I mean the introduction thing, because this show is going to attract many non-Mass Effect fans, who may become interested in playing the games. So why in the hell would you spoil the whole **bleep** thing for them? Let the newcomers have their opportunity to go into the games blind, don't ruin it for them.
Mass Effect 2 - Failure to Launch
Every time I try and launch Mass Effect 2 I get an error screen on EA App that "An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try it again a little later". A little later it still isn't launching and Uninstalling and reinstalling it also didn't help. I'm not sure what to do or how to fix it. Is this just me? Any help appreciated!Cannot Launch ME2 in Legendary Edition
This began last night when I began my second playthrough of ME2 after playing it successfully a week or two ago. It started out as an issue with not being able to save my new game due to a lack of disk space, but it then turned into not being able to get into the game at all after I stupidly used the 'free up space' option on the game while the game was running. When I say 'not at all', I mean that I get the intial loading screen before the game crashes and takes me back to the main menu. The first Mass Effect opens and runs just fine, I haven't checked ME3 yet. I've tried reinstalling both the game and EA, tried restarting my computer, cleared up disk space, but the issue is persisting. My best guess as a computer technology ignoramus is that I corrupted ME2, but I can't get into the main menu of ME2 in order to delete the corrupted save. Attached are my specs (minus the device name and ID). If someone has a solution to this mess, please let me know. Thank you for reading my plight and have a great day/night

The Mass Effect series is by far the best best gaming experience I've ever had and I'm an old dude from way back to the Atari Pong days. I haven't always gamed, had to raise a family. Now I'm older, everyone is grown and gone and I got bored. So, I bought an Xbox Series S. Played a lot of games and then found the Mass Effect series. No other of the thousands of games I've played even compare to this, being able to make discussion choices that change the outcome of the game, the graphics, the storyline, romances, variable endings, it is like living in the moment, in a movie, being part of the game and story. This is awesome. Don't make us wait too long for Mass Effect 5 or whatever you will name it. With the creation of AI you could develop the most interactive and realistic game imaginable, I'm getting old fast, retirement is right around the corner. Do this old man with nothing else to do a favor, get on with creating the newest Mass Effect, keep this series and legacy going for generations to come, in other words, hurry the heck up young folk, I ain't got all day 😁. I need another interactive adventure before my time runs out or I start to lose my faculties. Today's TV shows and Movies suck. I need a gaming experience I can feel a part of. Sincerely ~ old guy biding the time he has left on earth ✌️There is no save folder
Game folder is inside ea games as opposed to older discussions about this issue and in the game folder there is no save folder to import my saves to me2. I want to import my me1 save to me2 and then from there to legendary edition as acording to my research you can't bring your me1 save file directly into me2 legendary.To the developer of Mass Effect
I absolutely love all the mass effect games. I love how you can make decisions that change the outcome of the game. I love the flow of the game. How cool would it be to make a full G.I. Joe series designed exactly the same way the Mass Effect gameplay is. The choices you make change the outcome or you can unlock different cobra or Gil Joe characters you can play from either Gi joe or Cobra in fully emerged 360 degree worlds, and bases that would be cool.
New Game Mass Effect
Hello BioWare Team, As a long-time and dedicated fan of the Mass Effect series, I would like to contribute an idea regarding story continuity in the upcoming game. Given the various endings of Mass Effect 3 and the teaser with Liara and the N7 armor, it's clear that addressing this will be crucial for many. I propose the following approach, which would respect player choices while allowing for a strong continuation of the story: * Allow save imports from any Mass Effect 3 ending: Enable players to transfer their saved game regardless of which ME3 ending they chose (Destroy, Control, Synthesis, Refuse). This would honor their investment and emotional decisions. * Canonicalize the "Destroy" ending (with Shepard's survival) through additional content: * For players who import a save from the "Destroy" ending (under conditions where Shepard survives), the new game would unlock special dialogues, side quests, and deeper interactions related to Shepard's return and their romantic relationships. This would serve as a direct continuation of their story. * Explanation for Shepard's survival: This could be simply linked to the nanotechnology and enhancements Shepard received through Project Lazarus in Mass Effect 2. If Shepard survived such an ordeal, surviving the final explosion, supported by these enhancements, would make sense. * EDI's fate: Similarly, if the Normandy could be repaired (as suggested by the scene after the Destroy ending), EDI, as its integral digital component, could also be restored in some way, perhaps in a different form or requiring reactivation. Her deep connection to the ship could serve as a bridge. * For other endings: If a player imports a save from another ending (Control, Synthesis, Refuse), the new game could assume that Shepard did not physically survive and became a legend. Dialogues and the story in such cases would focus on Shepard's legacy and its repercussions, but without directly continuing their personal relationship storylines. Players would still be immersed in the world, but would be subtly motivated to try the Destroy ending if they wish to experience the "complete" narrative. I believe this approach would allow BioWare to continue Shepard's powerful story (as hinted by the teaser), while respecting the diversity of player choices and providing players with clear motivation. Thank you for your consideration! Sincerely, [Lapso123] A loyal Mass Effect fan❤️ [Thread moved from Mass Effect IT to Mass Effect EN.

Hey everyone, fellow Mass Effect fans! I've had an idea floating around in my head for a while now and I'd love to hear what you all think about it. It's about connecting the Mass Effect 3 endings with the new game and the potential return of Shepard. My thought is that BioWare could allow us to import our saves from ME3 with any ending, but the dialogue options related to romantic relationships and full Shepard continuity would only unlock if you chose the "Destroy" ending where Shepard survives. This could be explained by the nanotechnology from the Lazarus Project. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it would help BioWare elegantly bridge the story and also respect player choices? Let me know in the comments. Thank you!
