Some new rumors, Ill just keep laughing over here in case of, "Force Persuade: Dont mention Shep ever again in any close context."
MAP BIGGER THAN DAI
RELEASE IS 2016 it is also rumored to have different title (quite hard to imagine that EA will allow a complete change after the well known Mass Effect; it’s possible it will simply have a subtitle)
the story will be set in different region of space (rumored??) new alien species new areas of Citadel (based on art shown during steam) the story is set post ME3, so Shepard’s story is known to the people (but it’s so far into the future that it seems that people will rarely mention it; i’ll go with 50-100 years after the events of ME3) which makes me think how can you not mention a legion of Shepard-reapers that are everywhere in case of control ending, or no mention of Shepard’s decision to make everything in the galaxy stop evolving(look: conversation with Mordin in ME2) after choosing synthesis or when shooting this little asshole and allowing the cycle to continue in refusal ending(but guess what krogans and humans are races that will appear in ME4), which leads to my question - will they explain what actually happened in ME3 ending and (in this case) is indoctrination theory real? multiplayer will be back (let’s hope it will look more like the ME3 one and not the DAI) you will be able to import your saves from previous games

If it's a continuation to the story, I don't see how they could make sense of any of it going forward.
They can. One or two references to Shepard, how he destroyed / Controled and disapeared or... Well for synthesis... Meeeeh !
Bigger than DaI ? God, DaI is already too big for it own shake ! And you can make big map, if they're empty it's not important. But whatever because people will preorder or buy their game day one and after will complain, as always, so nothing will change.
Imo, it's more a fanfic than a reality because "far in the future" isn't 50 or even 100 years because in a Krogan or Asari life, it's nothing so people would remember and speak about it, even some humans can... And to finish: import save game is a dream, or a nightmare if you want and don't seem possible. It'll be a "keep" like DaI (a working one i hope).
The only thing i can trust, is the fact it's a sequel, they have no other choice if they want people to forget the Me3 failure... Or a reboot (it will work better imo, a sequel would be impossible without finishing the story first)
Destroy= it's ancient history and nobody cares, the galaxy changes every minute.
Control= The "Reaper police force" is monitoring everything from dark space, but they "never" interfere.
Synthesis= The silly green glow faded, didn't change a thing, and we are back to Turians vs Humans vs Krogans vs Salarians being judged by sanctimonious Asari.
Krogan were eventually cured, Quarians got their homeworld back and are repopulating/largely keep to themselves.

Alternatively, to keep things even *more* status quo...
- The Krogan cure faded after a while. So it lasted long enough to give them a population boost so they don't all die off in the near future, but are still sterilized.
- Then the Geth survived and the Quarians went all angry at them again without Shepard around to pull them apart like two screaming children and left all huffy and are back to living in fleets while the Geth just went back to cleaning up Rannoch again.
- Batarians got wrecked the hardest by the Reapers, but hey that's okay they were already pirates and slavers before that. So that's what they do now to rebuild. Enslave and pirate things.

Yeah, this is pretty much the only way I can see them moving forward. It'll be bullshit, oh it will be such bullshit, but coming off of "the Ending", that's the best they can do.
Don't forget that if it's 100 years into the future, the Raloi and Yahg will be spacefaring by then (Raloi had their first contact seconds before the Reapers invaded and were barely off the planet when they decided to scrap their space program and stick their heads in the sand*, the Yahg were seconds away from spaceflight at that point). This will hopefully add variety to the everything.
__________ * - I'm plotting out a fanfic where the Raloi stuck some dumb rockets onto their mass relay to move it farther out so the Reapers wouldn't find them, and ended up outside of its range when the Synthesis beam hit, becoming the last vestige of organic life in the Milky Way. Fun little things, you know?

I could actually see Brutes being a concept for the Yahg in battle for future titles. Large, bulky enemies that charge at you and ruin your day, especially if they're all as strong as the Shadow Broker, who can K.O. the "Perfect Krogan" with just one hit. Throw on some shields and give them a gun and bam!

Noelemahc: The oft-made comparisons as "DAI in space" are apt, but it should be amended to "...but blander".

gmandam: It looks amazingly bland

Axalon: I notice Robotech is on Netflix. Any good?

Axalon: I suppose not then.

Kynetyk: Robotech is very of its time. It suffers from stitching together three stories, but there's other good stuff to it. It's more mature than most shows from the early 80s. There's a lot of explicit death going on.
Apr 9, 2017 15:09:58 GMT -5
Kynetyk: there are also some surprisingly deep themes, but the voice acting and editing are pretty hit and miss.
Apr 9, 2017 15:10:14 GMT -5
Noelemahc: If you ask me, you're better off skipping Robotech and watching its pieces separately, preferrably the first (Super Dimension Fortress Macross, which spawned the decades-long Macross franchise, a trendsetter in Transforming Mecha genre) and the third

Noelemahc: Sooo the first Quake Champions Closed Beta wave I got invited to kinda fizzled, didn't get to get ingame even once, and judging from the Interwebs, a huge chunk of other hopefuls didn't either. BethSoft dun goofed, yo.

Noelemahc: New beta weekend, got the game to run, and... it's Quake 3, just on a spiffier engine and with a literal SHIT-TON of features borrowed from Overwatch (the entire vanity unlock drop mechanism, for example). It's... a weird feeling.
