APB is looking into the possible settings for Mass Effect 4. In the first part of a 4 part article, APB's Stu looks into the characters we know from Mass Effect lore than could have their own game. Check back each day for the next part of the article
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 could see the Anderson theory working. Truth be told though Bioware can definitely go any route they choose.
I would really like to see Mass Effect 4 set in the future, not the past. I would really enjoy a fresh start, with new characters with new possibilities awaiting them. I would appreciate a return to the exploration aspects of the first game, perhaps a crew tasked to explore uncharted locations in the Milky Way Galaxy with new hostile species and environments to contend with. Hell, take us through a wormhole that transports us to the Andromeda Galaxy. An intergalactic war begins between species inhabiting Andromeda and the Milky Way? Give us something new, please. I loved the ME series, but I really want ME4 to recreate the sense of wonder I felt when tackling ME1, and I'm hoping Bioware can bring that.
