First Contact War

Nothing. The Bioware that we know doesn't exist anymore. It's all EA diversity hires and marketing.

make the romance-able females hot, even if the games is bad it would be memed into being good

Man, those are some weeeird feet.

Give me a game like ME2, but give me a pre-defined class and make combat more in-depth and focused around it. Ideal game would be you playing as an N7 Slayer from the ME3 multiplayer, going on top secret missions with your N7 + specialists squad just after the Destroy ending, attempting to fix the Mass Relays and establish some kind of peace in the wake of all the destruction.

Mainly I just want to play a whole like, 50 hour game as a fleshed out N7 teleport hand-beam sword man, though.

Garrus proves the love interests don't need to be hot. They don't even need to look very human at all. They just need to be well written characters.

Still waiting on a romancable female turian that isn't in a shitfest game.

Mass Effect battle royale

Quietly assemble a team of qualified white men, and some asians.

Imagine the smell

Let Bioware die, wait a number of years for the industry to get over its "fuck everything in order to get an extra dollar" phase, then reform it hiring based on merit and not silly quotas.

>sci-fi alien is literally a human with fewer fingers and toes, a different skin color, and slightly different facial structure
gotta love the laziness of it all

the movie will handle this

Literally nothing but a reboot and even then it's a hard sell. And this is coming from a pleb who has hundreds of dollars of ME lithographs framed.

Bioware won't exist after Anthem so nothing

To bioware's mild credit there are aliens like the hanar, rachni (even if those are just Starship Troopers rejects) and whatever the fuck the slow dudes that preface every bit of dialogue with "emotion: [insert words here]" are.

Imagine the chemical composition of her sweat

The current Bioware staff are even less good at writing than the team that made the ME trilogy, which were chock full of cringe inducing dialogue and nonsense plots and of course the trash ending.

These ARE the same people who insisted making a female model for turians was too much work no matter how little sense it makes for every turian you see to be male.

Something something unscrupulous team of mercs that includes a Vorcha, Batarian, Elcor, Volus and a Hanar getting into wild shenanigans

It's set after ME3, two hundred years later. Max EMS Destroy was the ending you picked, right?

There's Maskless Quarians, wars between the Batarians and Krogan, the Krogan building new jungles on Tuchanka and rebuilt AIs.

You're an Alliance Corsair, toeing the line between Pirate and Privateer. The big gameplay addition is adding space battles and ground support with your ship, kind of like how CoD: Black Ops 2 added simple RTS sections, only now your squadmates aren't just sitting around on the ship if you didn't pick them, they're in fighters giving you air support or spotting enemies or something.

Oh, and someone who remembers that the heart of adventure fiction is attractive people doing cool shit makes the game.

Sell the IP to someone else and restart the series.

Give the IP to a studio that doesn't suck, but are there any of them left?

It could easily be saved. But why the fuck would the EA jews give a shit about anything that isn't easily exploitable? Games like Mass Effect and Dead Space are just a waste of resources in their eyes

Give it to a different studio

Make a complete spinoff ala ODST

Use the books as reference material if you have to

sign on some actually accomplished writers

Let us play as an ayy
And not just the humanoid ones
Also hire good writers

start by gassing talifags

>Use the books as reference material if you have to

Bruh. The Mass Effect books aren't anywhere near as good as the Halo books. You're gonna need Step 4 before you even think of Step 3.

Have competent people work on it, good writers without political agendas to fulfill and good gameplay directors who won't pad the game out with stupid grind or bad vehicle sections.

Have obsidian make a game

Hopefully nothing, the "A team" has shown they are just as talentless and incompetent as their no longer existing sister, it's time to let go.

I kind of assumed they would be decent like the Halo books, shame

Hey, I can agree with that. There's absolutely nothing attractive about Garrus to me, but I still enjoyed romancing him as femShep. It was just lots of pleasant dialogue and a relationship built on the common grounds of... shooting things together.

This guy is pretty based, makes comfy videos. Surprised he's never posted here.

World building one offs would be pretty great. A good potential game could be centered around a human officer fighting in the First Contact War, or even just having you be a Blue Sun mercenary in the time just before the first game.

Pretty much. 2 was fine, but the writing in 3 completely shoved the series into a dead end that there was no possible way to escape.

The short answer is that the current crop of writers wouldn't even be able to tell you where they went wrong.

Vetra is the best girl trapped in the worst fucking game. It hurts, bros.

Necromancy

oh please, I could never squad with her due to constant

She was almost as bad as Cora with the Asari bs

>side-story set in-between ME2 and ME3, goes into the ME3 invasion a bit and lets you do missions concerning some of the excluded races (visit Elcor homeworld, Hanar homeworld, Vorcha homeworld)

>player character is their choice of Council Race Species (Asari are biotics focused with all biotic classes, Turians are weapons focused with one biotic class, Salarians are tech focused with no biotic class, Humans are typical Jack-of-All with three biotic classes)

Finally someone else gets it.

Commander Shepard.

>prequel
This will guarantee that it won't be saved, as long as retards like you keep pushing the prequel meme. No one wants a fucking prequel. The only way to have a shred of a chance at reviving Mass Effect is by either::

Rebooting the series but keep all the original characters while tweaking the story A FUCKTON
or
Releasing a direct sequel to Mass Effect 3, featuring an older, gruffer Shepard on one last mission with his LI of choice.

Fucking Bioware made a poll even asking the fanbase if they would rather have a game set in the Andromeda galaxy, or a prequel. They voted almost in a landslide for a fucking sequel set in another goddamned galaxy than put up with a goddamned prequel.

Scale it back and make a simple RPG.
Forget about AAA graphics, live services, and multiplayer.

Just make a smaller story focused RPG. The writing and settings are the main reason people like Bioware anyway.
Same with DA.

the real answer is that mass effect died with 3. It's like they went out of their way to sour the universe with everyone and kill it right there.

If I were to make a new mass effect game I'd make it an isolated smaller-scale story. Don't even mention reapers, maybe.

EA would sadly never let any fucking developer under their control to make a bonafide single player game with no service model or online component. You'd have a better chance at witnessing the CEO of Ubisoft publicly denounce SJWs than that.

Why does is it always go back the father? and the sister Jesus

most bioware writers have debilitating issues with poor or nonexistent father figures

I imagine a lot of the tranny writers had problems with their father growing up. And you're supposed to write what you know, so they literally made Mass Effect 2 revolve around Daddy Issues.

Name a better girl?

The people responsible for the original's writing and setting are long gone. You think the current crop of writers can just go "Oh, maybe we should stop sucking and put out something good instead"? No, they are already giving us the best they're capable of.

They foolishly hoped it would be better since it was disconnected from the abortion that was 3, mostly.

literally any of them

damn, post more please
