BioWare recently fans what they'd like to see in ME4. Below is what I've posted to them (not that it will be taken into consideration), but there it is. I also included the summary of where I plan to take my version of ME4.

What I’d like to see
• Shepard lives.
• The war has just begun for him/her.
• A new enemy that is harder than the Reapers.
• That Shepard can lead the Reapers into the new war.
• Shepard is more advanced in his/her abilities.
• The Illusive man comes back. (Seriously, he brought back Shepard but he doesn’t have a failsafe to bring himself back? Give me a break. I’m expecting him to return. Besides I think he would make a great long-term nemesis for Shepard).
• The catalyst was a test to see what choice Shepard would make.
• A male bodied asari.
I’ve created all these things and more in my script. They are on my blog here on BioWare, and on my fan fiction page.

Here is how I’d structure the beginning of ME4.
Fighting the Reapers was just a test. Shepard now faces the real war beyond our universe…
• After Shepard’s choice is made he/she does not die, but finds himself/herself on a technologically advanced ship and is in the presence of a personage that looks like Liara (or Shepards love interest).
• Shepard is told that he/she passed the test and that the Reapers are just a shadow of what lies beyond… the real war for Shepard has just begun.
• The Reapers were preparing our universe to become strong enough to fight in the war beyond our universe. The catalyst was just part of the test to see what choice Shepard would make.
• Shepard is told that at the right time they will come for her and is transported back onto the Normandy.
• Admiral Hackett informs Shepard of reports of an advanced ship on the edge of deep space and after seeing the images of the ship Shepard knows it’s the one she was on.
• Shepard discovers she has advanced biotic/tech/combat (based on last save) abilities after Alliance testing. Admiral Hackett sends her to investigate the advanced ship and on her way there stop any remaining Cerberus groups.
• After leaving Earth Shepard is confronted by the personage that resembles Liara (or love interest) in her quarters. Her name is Zaieil. She tells Shepard there are multiple universes, and ways to travel to some of them. There is a strong connection from her universe to Shepard’s because of this she is able to manipulate the laws of Shepard’s universe easily. She is the one who gave Shepard her advanced abilities.
• Zaieil tells Shepard that her people have been waiting for her universe to be strong enough and for one strong enough to lead them. The catalyst was just a test to see what choice Shepard would make, and that Shepard is the only one who can save Zaieil’s universe.
• In the past Zaieil’s people traveled to an infected universe and brought back a race called the Orthax. Three Orthax in hours indoctrinated entire civilizations and took control of an entire planet. Zaieil’s people placed a very powerful barrier around the planet to save the rest of the universe, but it has slowly been weakening.
• The indoctrinated creatures from this and other planets are now a race of twisted and mutilated insect like animals. They were named after the first planet that was overrun: the Trayzor. Zaieil tells Shepard they are fighting a losing battle with the Trayzor, and that she is the only one who can defeat them; however, even after the Trayzor are destroyed the planet of Trayzor itself is now sentient, and a weapon. They believe the last remaining Orthax is at the center of it.
• Zaieil hints that Shepard will eventually be faced with the Trayzor one way or another…
Here are links to read my full story. I can easily re-write this in a script format. I do plan to re-write parts of what I have posted, and I am open to cooler names than Orthax or Trayzor.
Story is King!
This is just the tip of the iceberg. I have an ending, but I do not want to publicly share it since it would ruin the story. Actually…I doubt anyone has read this far. If you have well you’re my new BFF!


To go along with my previous posts it would be very easy to make a kind of cause and effect to each choice made in ME4. Keep in mind that the ending to ME3 was a test by the catalyst who is working with a technologically advanced race from another universe. Shepard did not in fact die. All this is outlined in my previous post.

Choice Made in ME3:

Destroy
Consequences: No Citadel in ME4. Shepard cannot use Reaper forces when fighting the war in the other universe. It is harder to travel in our universe because of the non-functioning Mass Effect relays-some will be working. EDI is no longer functioning. If Shepard chose to save the Rachni queen both times the Rachni will still follow Shepard into the other universe.

Synthesis
Consequences: She can use Reaper forces. Citadel was not destroyed and you can buy supplies there, and do extended missions. EDI will be alive. Better team functionality. More races are willing to follow Shepard into the other universe to fight the war. If Shepard chose to save the Rachni queen both times the Rachni will follow you into the other universe.

Control
Consequences: Fewer allies. Reapers will fight against the control. Attacks by the Illusive man who wants to take over, and/or an attempt at a truce. There are fewer choices with the people from the other universe because they cannot trust Shepard because he chose to take control. Even if Shepard chose to save the Rachni queen both times the Rachni will not follow Shepard into the other universe.

These are some quick examples of consequences that could change game play in ME4, and thus, solve the common complaint that there were no consequences for the choices made in ME3.

Thank you for reading my posts! I am so passionate about the ME universe. These games are amazing! I don’t want to see this end, and I’m so happy that BioWare is considering making ME4. I hope that some of my ideas will be taken into consideration. I have an ending and more ideas to come! Feel free to check out my BioWare blog, DA page, or fan fiction page.
