This would be perfect for me
Make it the worst possible destroy ending set 200 years after ME3, a complete rebuild of galactic society with player choice moulding it
I don't want it exclusive, nor would MS loan out a studio to EA.
All the endings can remain canon, just in order to continue the series they need to choose one to base the new entries off of. Your ME3 ending will always be your canon ending, but these new entries will based based on this one permutation because honoring all of them is impossible.I both agree and know they won't do this. They can always change their mind, but as recently as TODAY they're insisting that all the endings canon.
An ending like "Synthesis" really backs them into a corner (unless they introduce some sort of new threat that reverses that integration).
A better ending than Mass Effect 3 and better game than Andormeda
I've said this before and I'll say it again. TBH after Andromeda, Anthem and some exceptional reporting by Jason Schreier I think it's abundantly clear BioWare has some very large, problematic and systemic development and leadership issues. Whether it was a lack of time, money, resources or manpower I think BioWare (especially after Anthem, probably going back as far as DA2), needs to take a long, hard collective look in the mirror and truly sort things out no matter how unpleasant or uncomfortable it may be.
There are reasons why Andromeda and Anthem ended up the way they did, and I for one would be FAR more concerned with correcting and resolving the issues that led to those games being in their respective states at launch. When you have employees crying at their desks and taking stress leave for extended periods of time because the development of your game is so ball bustingly difficult and fucked up you've got far larger issues with your studio than trying to figure out what to do with your IP.
I'd love to not only see a new Mass Effect game but I'd love to see them do it without killing themselves in the process. If you're going to do it, than do it right. The series and the fans deserve it.
Tell EA and Frostbite to fuck right off next time.
Lastly,
IMO, the problem now is where exactly do you go from here? It'd have to be a sequel. I personally have absolutely no interest in a prequel, reboot or even a remaster. It's gotta be a sequel.

Pretty much. Just bite the bullet and choose one. The trilogy is complete and I don't think it's reasonable for fans to continue to want every variable attuned to their choices, mine included.All the endings can remain canon, just in order to continue the series they need to choose one to base the new entries off of. Your ME3 ending will always be your canon ending, but these new entries will based based on this one permutation because honoring all of them is impossible.
Even if the three endings didn't exist there would still be some major other choices from the series like the Krogan genophage outcome and shit that would have dramatic effects on the galaxy. They would have to pick something and stick with it which would go against many people's "canon" choices.
It's not a big issue and to make it one would be really really dumb of BioWare and of fans who might get mad over it.
I love it's still "Andormeda" though.
This IS a big one and worth addressing, because the problems that affected the decline of Mass Effect and Bioware aren't one-off issues.I've said this before and I'll say it again.

It's these more systemic/cultural issues within BioWare themselves that I think a remake might be a good option for them. It's both a chance for them to re-examine and re-familiarize themselves with those elements and design choices that fans really loved with a fully complete trilogy to work off of instead of starting from scratch. It would be a pretty massive blueprint and groundwork already laid out for them, while still allowing for changes and updates as a proper remake. And with so much of that framework and everything done it might be a good starting point and testing ground for new business practices that make for a more humane and enjoyable working environment for everyone. Rather than a brand new game with lots of unknowns and stressers with nothing in place for them to fall back on if new practices or idea don't work out or take longer to adopt.I've said this before and I'll say it again.

Or they could just combine elements of all three. Certain people use discarded Reaper tech to synthesize, others command and control it -- as best as they possibly can to obvious and horrible outcomes -- and the bulk of the Reapers and their forces could be utterly destroyed.Pretty much.

Pick or create a canon ending. An amalgamation of choices and concepts from the trilogy.
Is that EA laughing at us AGAIN on N7 Day because they know we're never getting what we want?
I'm really happy these conversations are happening. Not sure what will happen as I'm not part of Bioware, but gives me hope for more Mass Effect. Love the franchise! :D

You have a point, fair enough.You are too optimistic to think that EA cares about us that much.
Cool :) Diplomatically said,you think there is a solid ground for our optimism...? ;)I'm really happy these conversations are happening. Not sure what will happen as I'm not part of Bioware, but gives me hope for more Mass Effect. Love the franchise! :D
With a proper boss fight at the end, please.After Anthem a good way for BioWare to redeem themselves for me personally would be to go above and beyond with an amazing remaster of the trilogy and rework the ME3 ending to have the Indoctrination Theory with Destroy ending become canon.
People bought a game with an incomplete conclusion and, as flawed as it was, Andromeda did a lot of work trying to carve out a world for itself in the Andromeda universe... and mostly squandered player's abilities to really explore it.I want to vomit that people are asking for Andromeda's story to continue. Devs asking if you can have whatever you want and people want more Andromeda.. lol
This is why we can't have nice things.
