ahhh Mass Effect..........


It should not be hard to figure out what to fix for the next game.


A. Fetch quests(Mass effect should never have these)

People should always be able to explore a planet. Fetch quests are for lazy gamers in an rpg.


B. DLC(If Bioware is going to have dlc again, then it should be worth the money. Some of the dlc last time was not worth it)


C. day-one dlc(I do not want to see this again)


D. useless characters(The characters should always be pretty interesting)


E. Characters left out in the cold(I saw this a few times in ME3)


F. Endings( A peer review group should always look at the endings of the game)


G. choices(All choices in a series like this should matter)


H. Delayed(If the game is not ready yet, then it should not be rushed)

If people decide to wait, then the game will be even better than before.


ME3 is still a good game. People should give Bioware credit for the EC. But the game has problems.

@Cashmoney007: some DLC in the mass effect series are so important and explain major plots and should be included in the main game...could not agree more

@hawkensha@Cashmoney007: If you're into ME, especially for the story (and if you're not, you're probably not into it at all), you get the DLC on day one. If you don't, you probably couldn't care less about the origin of the reapers or why Kasumi is so sad panda. Or how Liara became Shadow Broker (best DLC ever from an artistic design perspective.. That ship getting charged from lightning was EPIC AS FüK!!!!1111!!!

@chippiez@hawkensha@Cashmoney007: I agree the DLC were great which what I said in my comment and that they were important....but what my point was that day one DLC should have been in the main game in the first place...you seriously can't be defending day one DLC

agree on the reaper thing, but i liked ME3's weapon customization, but im hoping for some sci fi weapon crafting of some kind. I definitely want to see SOME of the old characters return, not to many so it overpowers the new connections the player is suppose to make with new characters, and it has to work with the timeline of course. just 1 or 2. and definitely Garrus, or liara if more then a torian lifetime has passed. and it seems the mako will play a big part of the game, so it has to be handling better.
PS. i love mass effect!

I would like to have more space pet options in the captains quarters. Specifically, cats, having a fuzzy feline companion would be a great way for the commander to relieve stress between missions.

Agree on deeper RPG elements and no Reapers. Definitely on no Mako, although that request has already been denied.

However, my canon playthrough got the happy ending. I'd like to see my Shepard and Tali spending a well-earned retirement in their nice house on Rannoch. I'm just a romantic like that.

@Deadlysyns87@jmsk248: Huh? Convergence wasn't death.... It was integration with the Reapers. He became reap-shep. Due to the implications of everyone having green eyes and bio-synthetic DNA, I really, really doubt that is going to be the canon ending however. I'm thinking the one where he sacrificed the relays and himself to blow up the reapers will be Canon.

Hated all the useless weapons in ME1, glad they cleaned that mess up. The Mako is coming back, so let's hope they have done it better.


Most important thing by far is a total disconnect between SP and MP. I really don't want the MP grind from ME3 back.

@Sushiglutton: Yes! I didn't like the way that those connected. It should have been two separate modes. I felt like I "had" to play MP just to succeed in SP

@Coseniath: The planets in ME1 were technically limited. They knew they couldn't invest time into crafting that many worlds and the crappy consoles couldn't handle procedural generation so they just used height-field maps. Now we should get some nice worlds to poke around but they'll probably be smaller than in ME1 to put in more detail.
I definitely agree with #1 as well. As the series went on it felt more and more like I was just slapping Shepard on the back of the head to do stuff rather than actually being involved in the development of their character. Mind you, the armour and weapon customisation was a bit broken. If you just pick a sniper rifle then you're pretty much invincible after about level 15, and that was true right through to ME3.

An ending that doesnt involve picking your favourite colour would be nice

I'd like the ability to pilot shuttles in atmosphere and larger areas to explore, really I just want a far less linear experience.
