How can we save Mass Effect?

How can we save Mass Effect?

Prequels only? Or can we just retcon the Reaper shit and make like a Spectre mission to take down Illusive Man?

WTF Mass effect?

Would it be too bad to just focus on smaller missions for the next games like a system conflict or something instead of fighting the BADDEST BAD GUY IN THE UNIVERSE WHO WILL KILL YOU ALL? Is it considered a step back?

it's dead.
it's not coming back.

Would be better than to world build and destory your world in the worst way imaginable

Police /c sec stuff, I bet theres alot of cool shit that could happen on the smaller scale with mass effects universe

impossible to fix

Reboot the franchise, retconning 2 and 3, entirely. Alternatively, focus on smaller scale stories.

Not being able to explore systems would be a step back, anything smaller than Andromeda would be lame.
They just need to quit it with the ancient evil awakens crap.

Shepard wakes up, the reaper shit being all a bad dream. He wakes up surrounded in bed with all the female shipmates. He fucks them all in all holes and then jizzes on camera, grins at camera and says "hah, only reaping I'm doing is reaping this pussy" fade to black.

I'd play it

RTS game with the focus being building colonies on unexplored planets

Retards. Listen to yourself. Seriously reread your posts and try to see why you're retarded

>these are the same plebittors that say ME2 wasn't the best in the series because it was meaningless for plot progression

You can't, you'll never be able to top the tension created by having a galactic scale threat from the original trilogy and the fandom became pure shit with 2 when bioware dumbed down the rpg mechanics in favor of generic shooting trash and decided to pander to waifu degenerates. The formula of your character being the destined one that comes from some elite background to stop an existential threat is dead as well, no matter the fucking game they keep going back to it.

Direct sequel to Mass Effect 3, make the destroy ending canon.
Make it so that if the events of ME3 were WWII, Mass Effect 4 is the Cold War.
All those species stuck on Earth, even more, their militaries, they are bound to start fighting amongst each other.
It would also need to take an MGS-tier focus on war itself.
You could also make it that Shepard retired and is bitter due to all the situation on Earth and the game being about him getting his shit together to set the galaxy right and slowly become what he once was.
Would make a nice alegory for the franchise itself.

ME1 already exists so it's saved in my book

yeah a Garrus game would be dope

First Contact prequel from the viewpoint of a different race and with ME1 mechanics

On top of that, I also imagined that the main villain guys would be an AI network that would be pretty much the Patriots from MGS, who were created to keep humanity safe, and keep forcing wars between all the species on Earth since that what they were programmed to do, protect humanity from invaders.
You could use it to explain many things, such as no one knowing about the Crucible since they had that info censored, and most importantly you could explain that the Catalyst was just their attempt to deal with the Reapers, to insert an AI into them and take control of them, but was corrupted by the Reapers themselves, and make the motivation of the Reapers again something really vague and unknown, let them be the Eldritch monsters they've always been.

I've honestly been thinking way too much about this hypothetical sequel, about the entire plot, and I even thought of a concept for the boxart, and also thought up of soundtracks from other media for specific moments of the plot.
I don't know what made me so obsessed with this.

They had the right idea when they fucked off to a different galaxy and made it about colonisation efforts and managing relationships with native populations and ensuring the flourishing of settlements while solving conflicts among species.
But they fucked up the development and made it about AN ANCIENT EVIL HAS AWAKENED yet a-fucking-gain
