Gameranx: "Mass Effect 4 will be completely unrelated to Shepard and friends, says series writer Mac Walters."
Game Rant Writes "Canonicity can be a tricky nut to crack in franchises with continuing narratives, and that's something Mass Effect 4 will need to contend with."
wow gamerant forgot mass effect 4 came out years ago number 6 and 7 were cancelled.
The new mass effect which can be called number 5 will not have any of your choices why you might ask?
Well dragon age keep were your choices from number one can been seen in number 3 got unplugged from number one and number 2 is finicky.
Dragon age on pc requires a mod to get past the server login and non of your choices get uploaded to the keep even the dlc no longer works sense it needs a server check.
On xbox i teseted this only though local saves i was able to transfer choices from one to too but 0 of one dlc would work.
So if the more popular dragon age series is in this state why would they care about your mass effect choices?
Oh and that remaster that was tossed out still has day one issues and number 3 is still hard to play on pc do to lighting issues and ram limits imposed from 2014.
My expectations for the next bioware 2.0 titles is very low.
Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 will likely treat Mass Effect 3’s Destroy ending as canon, and this gives it an opportunity to explore a post-apocalyptic galaxy."
Destroy is the best choice. Bring the relays back over the course of a new trilogy, maybe right at the end of the first game. Say it was Cerberus, Salarians or a bunch of keepers that created a relay.
Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 has plenty of opportunities to change a lot about the franchise, particularly in the protagonist players can create."

To make sure the main characters face isn’t tired with the released game?
I'll miss Commander Shepherd though. Bioware have a tough job to do to create a character that is as inspiring as Commander Shepherd. One of the few great gaming icons of this generation.
The thing about ME is that it could probably - certainly - work with no over-arching, galaxy threatening plot. There were dozens of stories and plots involving one world, culture or section on the galaxy which were largely glossed over in ME2.
And the name of the main character, past being comfortably action oriented, is meaningless. The role itself would be ten fold better if, besides the wedge who never really developed a personality which was Commander Shepard, they were given opportunity to become develop. Have personal issues they have to overcome.
Forget mac walters. Terribly average writer.
Hey Walters, try and come up with your own story this time. If I find even one reference to another game/book/film/comic I'm going to be very mad while playing through your otherwise fantastic game.
We really need to be able to choose other alien races..
