ME1: Scan the Keepers (20/21)
ME5: Scan the Keepers (99/100)
I will lose my freaking mind
I hope not. I don't want quests designed to bloat the game for playing hour deception.
Bruh.
You just sent shivers down my spine. 😁😄😆😅😂🤣
The Keeper Union!
I need more Mass Effect in my life. Its been seven years. I miss hanging out with turians and dating asari, blowing shit up with my krogan pals, and building bridges between geth and quarian's. I miss being the paragon with just a touch of renegade. I need those days back.
Renegade with a touch of paragon is my cup of tea.
That crops off at "blowin"
I'm hoping there's a sort of ghost town theme to the new Mass Effect. I think it would be cool to see the universe be massively depopulated from the Reaper invasion and have a game built around recovering important things from derelict areas and dealing with the left over Reaper forces or just the crazy people stranded there. Bringing down the power level of the Mass Effect franchise would give them a lot of room to breathe for future installments, too.
❤
What if we have to fight rogue forces who got their hands on reaper tech hoping to use it like a gang with a military weapons hook up
You can do both. The Reapers hit certain places really hard and didn't even touch others. I think the game estimates several million dying on earth per day. Assuming ME3 takes a couple of months or so of time, you've *only* lost at most 500 millionish on earth. With a population of 11 billion, that's not going to create a ghost town effect everywhere. Larger cities like London? Definitely. But most cities will not be nearly as destroyed and most places will appear untouched after just a couple years of repairs. So yeah, let's see both. Robust cities, empty cities, destroyed cities, everything is possible! There is of course the possibility of going to the Batarian homeworld. They were hit so early and so hard that they might have lost billions, maybe most of their 6 billion population. We could definitely go there and get a ghost town feeling that helps to drive home the point that some species got it much worse than others. Palaven, for example, defended itself really well with the Krogan help, and Tuchanka was never fully invaded. Both of those species are probably doing just fine.
That.. is actually a brilliant idea! It could re-ignite the 'exploration'-bit of the game.
@@samuelchambers4036 If you watch the announcement trailer again pay close attention to the dead reaper that Liara is walking on. There are cables running across it that look almost like someone has been experimenting on the reaper corpse. It actually looks like Geth technology.
I'd like to point out if ME5 is going a more secret agent in the seedy criminal underbelly route with the gameplay and story, it would be a PERFECT setting for Liara, for the _Shadow_ _Broker_ .
Except everyone knows Liara is the Broker, she can't sneak around.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 Who else besides Team Normandy knows that Liara is the Shadow Broker? Feron, Aria, Cerber, possibly the Azari government.... I can't think of anyone else.
@@mimusmortuis1633 The third game made it a point that everyone knows.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 r/whoosh.
@@willfanofmanyii3751 Does it though? Sure the Normandy squad knows, but there is a line about Allers not being allowed into Liara's cabin, giving me the impression the general public doesn't know anything and it's just our immediate group. In fact Liara goes through extra hoops for Shepard to get her ground team during ME3, having you meet up with the banker and everything as a middle man, to keep up appearances. No one else besides our crew really mention it iirc, and I _think_ I remember at some point it doesn't even seem like Traynor is aware of it? But I could 100% be wrong. Either way I think ME3 actually makes it apparent that no one outside the Normandy is aware that the identity of the Shadow Broker even changed recently.
More Aria is never a bad thing.
I like the idea of seeing more of the citadel & the underworld crimes.
I like the theory about Aria gaining power. That could lead to her controlling Illium and pushing to impact other areas. Maybe Aria could gain influence through significant trade based on enhanced Red Sand. The Citadel’s governing entity would want to prevent that and assign an N7 to handle the situation. Anyway, in general, speculating is definitely fun. When we get ME5, there should be a video tallying how many times fan theories ended up being right.
Closer to N7 day I'm gonna make a bingo card and whenever ME5 is revealed during then as well. Want to see how much or how little was right haha
@@kalaelizabeth Woohoo! Looking forward to playing bingo. I'm writing my theories---so I can see just how much I get wrong. 😂
I just want a last ride with Shepard with modern graphics, better engine and overall the best version of ME
Yeah they did that. It was Andromeda, which sucked.
I just replayed the series on steam and the graphics hold up beautifully. Why remake what's already perfect?
I loved that one car chase mission. I wouldn’t mind another chase in the next mass effect, it could really show off how large the citadel is up close.
I’m thinking the council went overboard on hiring agents to covertly “keep the peace” maybe by sabotaging races or listening in on high level figures to figure out if anyone’s planning any world ending moves.
I started a play through of me1 today so this was fitting and fresh on my mind. I hope they take the best bits of the trilogy, personally I LOVED me2 planet scanning but also loved being chased by the reapers. Would be cool if we ran into the odd rogue geth ship or pirate ship that act similar to the reapers in me3.
A ME game that is not a galaxy spanning adventure and a Citadel dungeon crawl would be a huge disappointment. Shepard is not a cop, they’re a hero of galactic history. This would bomb big time.
I don't believe Shepard is the protag for me5
It wont be Shepard, canonically he's eithe dead or pretty much dead.
I don't want a repeat of the originals, unless they're just upscaling and tweaking the legendary edition.
@@jodo2785’canonically’ we have absolutely zero idea of Shepards condition. If the ‘Destroy/Shepard lives’ ending is made canon then Shepard can easily be 100% strong and healthy. All weve got right now are theories. Hopefully we get more solid info soon so we can start weeding out all the theories that are missing the mark!
Great stuff! I’m still breathing in the ruble waiting. Freeze everyone.
I'm busy dying, finally having peace and knowing in my last moments that I have had a positive effect on the galaxy and my friends.
Yup, it's kinda cold in here. Dark, stuffy, and there's water? Nevermind, that's my blood
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem Hearing that from ALLMIND... I don't know about that one
@@grypharmy7256 Ah. We see you are a man of culture. Not many seem to have recognized it.
Great stuff ya’ll. Loved all your comments.
As long as I have Shepherd, and I can use my save data from ME Legendary Edition I'm content
I am pretty sure this is occuring 600 years after Mass Effect 3 based on that date so I wouldn't hold my breath on having Shepherd back.
We don't need Shephard
It won't be a Shepard protag. But I bet you will be load in your save state.
Think dragon age
I really liked ME1 because the story was evolving the whole time. You basically never knew who the main villain was. I liked how you traveled the galaxy and picked up clues. The pacing was just really good. I would like more of that, more plot twists, more mystery. ME2 has some of that too, but you find out pretty quick who you are up against and same goes for ME3. The new game being centered around Citadel sounds interesting, but i dont think its a good idea for the franchise. Mass effect was always, since release, about jumping from planet to planet. If we were bound to the Citadel for a longer period of time it could get boring. The name mass effect itself hints at travel (using the mass effect phenomenon). If they manage to make us travel all over the galaxy to solve quests on citadel, it could work, but it has to be well executed imo. Either way, thank you for another vid Kala, thank you for fueling our interest in the franchise, i know it aint easy with not many news coming out.
Yeah there's not much to cover right now at all haha I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
No I don't want a game solely about Aria, I want a choice of male or female protagonists, and not the ugly style of protagonists like we got with Andromeda
We won't get ugly, muddy characters anymore because Andromeda was Biowares first and only time using Frostbite
@@Penigale Haha, you could have pretty women in Andromeda, they deliberately made her ugly because beautiful women in games are somehow a threat to real world women.
@viperswhip id doubt it. All the characters look odd in Andromeda, its more of a problem of not converting the assets from Unreal to Frostbite. Your issue exists for sure, but most likely not in andromeda.
@@Penigale what do you mean ONLY or First. BioWare made Inquisition on Frostbite. What you mean is more like ..BioWare Austin was new studio tasked to do Andromeda, main BioWare that did ME's was doing Anthem. And yes BioWare Austin was closed.
@@cracmar03 andromeda was rushed
2819 is when the Hyperion arrived in andromeda
All of this please!! I'd love a 007 n7 character
Wow! When CP2077 came out I actually posted an idea for a "Mass Effect Citadel" game where they opened the citadel as a huge city and you didn't really leave the citadel you played everything through there. I had no idea they had something like that in development already!
Now that you mention it, I can actually see that happening! I loved playing CO2077. If they were to mirror that in the ME Universe, man alive that would be everything!!
Fingers crossed for some mature writing like in the trilogy, and not CW inspired writing from Andromeda.
I trust Mary DeMarle.
I just hope they bring back Shepard, Tali, and Garrus and allow us to continue their romances
I would love the game to be built around the aftermath of the Reaper invasion. I hope we can import games for history and unique dialogs and scenes like the previous games
My thoughts exactly. I would love that.
God I hope ME5 will be a more compact linear game as opposed to a giant empty open world game!
Me too! Mass Effect needs more focused gameplay. Having a big sprawling open world would be a mistake.
giant empty worlds is the reality of the universe so it's on point
@@PeachDragon_ That is the absolute truth! I just wish more gamers and these game studios/publishers understood this.
This armor reminds me about Thane and how his "armor" was sleek etc.
You know what would be funny? If this "Agent" is going to somehow tie story of Shepard, like find his body or something like that.
EDIT: Now that I'm thinking... Yes, Reapers are gone... but what about those who created them? Shepard talked with them. Maybe that could be a new threat? They can control mind of other organics, so why not put that into a plot with syndicates in Citadel? (have them use organics to do some stuff and "Agent" is trying to figure it out, stop it etc..)
and I will flip if they bring back Aria LOL
Playing as a ruthless Shepard I always thought Aira would been the perfect romance interest
I always thought that the Citadel being the main focus would be an interesting Mass Effect game, like imagine being a C-Sec officer or something. But one of the biggest things about Mass Effect is traveling throughout the galaxy so staying solely on the Citadel would take a lot away
Love your videos , they make my heart ❤️ bit faster,i can wait to see Sheppard back in action! Thanks for your work!
I don’t care about the plot just as long as we’ll bang, ok?
I mean, the concept is interesting but I can't help but think that the most logical storyline would be a return of the Leviathans that were only in hiding because the Reapers were too powerful for them to control/deal with.
Whilst they are technically benign, they were used to subjugating other species and 'leaving them alone' in return for tribute. Would be interesting to see how the modern races reacted to an attempt to restore that universal order.
The underground crime scene angle just seems too small scale IMO. Granted, whatever it is will almost certainly seem like a smaller-scale affair than the Reaper threat/invasion, but I think underground crime would probably be too far the other way.
If it were me I'd hang the next game off the back of a post-destroy ending and I'd tell the story of how civilization got back up off its arse and found its feet again. How do they overcome the relay network being f***ed? Does the coalition of races endure or given the dire circumstances is it everyone for themselves? Will anyone take advantage of the situation?
The end of ME3 left us with a wealth of interesting things to explore. Personally, I think moving it forward beyond when all of that stuff is reconciled and overcome, would be missing an opportunity.
I’d absolutely be up for more Aria.
She has more layers than given credit for, and is deeply compelling. I typically play as paragon as possible, but to me, Aria demonstrates how I wish renegade had actually been implemented in the series.
ME5 Aria's New Couch shoiuld be the title
If it's gonna be ME1 style investigation & planetside exploration, plus just a few years after ME3, plus with ME3 save import, plus with the return of Shepard, Imma kiss the feet of everyone at Bioware for a week
Everything else is possible but not the save import, the ending's choices are extremely different from each other and they would basically have to create 4 separate games to account for anything
Honestly with the difference from 1,2 and 3 to Andromeda is so drastic, and the mishandled recent games from BioWare like sitting for 5 years on that game where you’re in a flying suit. I’ve no interest in ME5, gaming companies lie, scam and charge more then blame players, fire good developers and give bad CEOs raises. No thank you.
I honestly couldn't care less if we see Aria again or not, I didn't care for her at all, specially the grandiose "I am omega BS".
I hope we don't see more of Cerberus as it was, meaning as the all powerful all knowing organization. Having Miranda take over and make of Cerberus a shadowy organization working towards helping humanity keep pace with the other species but with more moral compass than previously for example would be great.
I also hope that we get to solve most of the mysteries left behind. Ilos is a great example but many other remain.
For example why didn't the catalyst intervene ever until the very end ?
Who really created the original plans for the crucible and how? How were those plans passed from cycle to cycle ?
And so many other questions I could write a dissertation about it :p
For me part of the reason the ending was so crappy was because it brought even more questions to an already very incoherent story.
Games are following Film down the rabbit hole. Return to the roots movement is just more nostalgia bait. AC Mirage is NOT a return to the roots, but another paint job on the modern AC version with less to offer the buyer. EA? No thanks. Been done with them for awhile now and to see them also jumping on the nostalgia bait wagon was to be expected.
This sounds like a bunch of yes. Exploring a probably changed citadel, and going deep in it. Hopefully no CW inspired writing, or imma be mad lol.
I really wish that the legendary edition had opened up the citadel n let us go to all locations from ME1 n ME2 n ME3.
I follow you on Twitter but this is my first time watching one of your videos on YT. Now I am going down the rabbit hole watching all of your ME 5 videos
Great breakdown and analysis. What made me smile the most was the term 'Hobnobbing' I don't think I've heard the terms since the early noughties. Now I've heard it twice in two days. Also, if the concept art of the ship, squad and crater is size accurate... that ship is TINY.
I would love to have the citadel as an open world in the game.
I refuse to believe there's more Easter eggs in the 2 ME trailers. I've been over the 2 of them many times, separating the slightest sounds, filtering colours, lining up patterns thinking if I can recognise stars from any of the games....they can't be more secrets.
Can they?
At this point I wonder if we'll see half life 3, elder scrolls 6 or mass effect 5 first
Kala always dropping another banger when I'm looking for something to watch
Don't bring back the paragon/renegade system please. At least we know the multiplayer will be good!
On the contrary, bring it back at all cost. Andromeda did differently and none of the 4 possible personality succeed to change the character of Ryder. It's a big failure.
I'd like this.. just with Shepard pls
Well we couldn't romance Garrus or Tali in ME1 but we could in ME2 and given how Aria will kiss Shepard in the Omega DLC if you play it right Aria could easily be a romance option if shepard was back.
It would be very interesting to see who mass effect 5 now that topics such as criminal syndicates space pirates criminal organizations slave trade show the shadier side of the galactic community and that we are in charge of putting control or at least mitigating those effects to the public and also to show us the enormous power that criminal structures have in the space of the citadel.
Ilos, that planet has a lot to tell. Javik needs to go there with Liara.
Yeah it really does look like we will be an agent non-Shep. I’d love to see Aria again❤
You mean Mass Effect 4.
Mass Effect Andromeda is not a numbered title.
Nope I mean mass effect 5 which is what bioware is currently calling this game during development as Andromeda was 4 during development
Andromeda is a spin off title, and not a main line title. The next Mass Effect game will be Mass Effect 4. Just like Main line Star Wars Skywalker story, and the spin off shows and movies.
As we know with any product the development name changes after product finishes development.
Please, Stop crying about this.
Take it up with bioware if you're mad. They're the ones calling it ME5. You can simply use your own eye balls to look at the concept art and video metadata yourself!
@@kalaelizabeth
You're crying again, please stop.
This is EA, don't get your hopes up.
Can't really call it mass effect 5, it's just silly
Sorry but I love the fact that Shepard was in your face, I don't wont all this stealth crap, I'm not playing an assassin creed game. keep my Shepard honest. Love the vids though keep it up
I just want this game before ps6. I need a physical copy of this game and ps6 is likely only digital focused. Screw DA. I want ME4 more!
Hmmm....I wonder if Carrie-Anne Moss has been busy doing some voice acting lately...?
Kala great work🎉 your are truly all we got these developer's need to thank you for keeping us afloat ❤
This update and speculation gives me hope for the new game. I’d love to see Aria return to the game universe, she was a great addition with ME2 and ME3 and I felt her story arc was far from over after the conclusion of ME3
Aria did kiss shepard in mass effect 3
I personaly belive in the N7 agent being the antagonist theory because that would be a threat similar to Saren in Me1 Where the protagonist have to take down a rogue operative in order to clear the name of the organisation.
That theme is why i personaly like that theory
i would like to see Me5 explore the seedy underbelly of the universe i loved that side of Me2
Wich is why im also really exited for Star Wars Outlaws that game also focuses on the criminal side of the universe and the protagonist is a smugler isntead of a Jedi
I need more Shepard not 300 years later secret agent man who wears a trench coat and a motorcycle helmet if I don’t get to play as Shepard or at least see that he survived with a happy ending idk I don’t want an andromeda failure number 2
So far....I hope your wrong.
ME trilogy - Your out to save the Galaxy from a threat to extinguish all life.
ME 5 - Either side with or eliminate some goons.
Yeah not exactly an epic restart to a failing franchise. Especially if they focus the game around just the citadel. Look what happened to DA2 when they focused on one place, you went from saving the whole country and fighting the Archdemon to the so called "hero" of a town that did mostly busy work. Didnt exactly go well for DA.
Maybe im alone in this but I personally dont want Mass Effect, a sprawling space adventure to be whittled down to hanging out in town as a glorified sci fi detective.
something i want in regards to aria: have it be far enough into the future that aria is training successors, (more then one) and she has all of them going through tests, or trials or whatever underground/underworld tribulation in order to see who takes over, and she makes one of them your companion. you can help them either take over, or find a more worthwhile path with... doing whatever it is your doing.
Cyberpunk's city is an incredible achievement, and Bioware will not be able to just recreate that urbanism.
It would make sense that Asari rulles huge swaths of space. check the Lore. The fact that they mostly plaid strippers and employees in the game was bias and poor choices in writing.I would love to see Aria again, but I don't want her to be the bad guy, I mean I don't wanna shoot Aria, no thanks. I look forward to the maturation of the different races. Everyone having power and presence in their own spaces, not just humans turians salarians and krogans running everything and everyone else almost like fringe npc's. make the galaxy live! Let. IT. Begin.😏
You're likely much further along than Bioware is. The costume concept is probably based on nothing, and cannot tease a game that doesnt exist.
Ok, my Theory is a BIT Different than yours, yet similar...
I think its going to be A Split Story...
You play as the Agent, but not at first... The Game starts with Liara following the Signal from the teaser, then they follow it to the Second Teaser, the planet full of Wreckage with the helmet fragment... then they find the Citadel-2, or Oculon... and meet the Faceless protagonist, The Agent... Likely Later revealed to be an enhanced Clone of Shepherd... Literally BUILT to be the pefect Spectre, the perfect Agent...
And theyve learned of the Andromeda Initiative, and used secret technology to make contact...
With the big mystery FINALLY being the reveal of Who Sabotaged the Initiative... and killed Jien Garson... A mystery solved from a galaxy away.
Or... Perhaps the Agent ISNT human, But QUARIAN... And the game takes place on rhe Quarian Ark, Halfway between The Two Galaxies...
Why these theories? Because the devs said "We havent forgotten about andromeda." And "the next game will BRIDGE THE GAP between the original Trilogy and Andromeda."
So i try to keep both in mind when theory crafting.
I just want a restored content remake for the trilogy. Ashley was RUINED in ME3. Like waht the HELL XD no dialogue, doesn't interact with anyone. Just kills me.. Legendary edition was an opportunity to restore her cut content but they focused on Miranda's a$$ instead
I would love to focus on underworld crimes and so on. But with bioware being its current self (pegi 12 attitude) I'm sceptical.
I hope they don't f* it up.
Yeah, i dont expect much but i'll be happy if the game at least is not a complete failure, being a mediocre game would actually be an achievement for Bioware
I LOVE Mass Effect 1 so I'm hoping they do go back to the beginning with 1.
The Citadel/Oculon won't be the entirety of ME5 or an over-arching story plot. But it may play a secondary significant role nonetheless. Connections with Andromeda are assured, even from a business perspective alone, tbh. The legacy of ME 1,2,3 and Andromeda (yes, Andromeda lol) will be self evident in Mass Effect 5.
I agree it very well could be a dive into the darker elements of the ME society, but I feel like the Image of the "bar/Dance" location better fits Omega... which would also better fit an underground theme, especially since we haven't seen near all of Omega, even during the Omega DLC in ME:3. Omega could well be a central part of ME:5.
The ME 5 is about to unite the Trilogy and Andromeda. I don't think it's "returning" anywhere.
I would REALLY like to see Mass Effect taking trip back in time. Like Endgame way. Getting back to certain times with Shepard, to reobtain some lost data or technology, and still do not influence the timeline, and not change anything in his current time. That would be "the ultimate spy game".
Are bioware known for going back to their roots? Genuine question as I've only played Mass Effect from their product suite. I know I get extremely nostalgic about ME1 and yearn to relive the experience again, as do most people I'd imagine. It's such an obvious move for bioware and other developers that I'm shocked it doesn't happen more often.
I know this is not a popular opinion, but Mass Effect 2 and 3 are terrible compared to Mass Effect 1. The gameplay loop is horrible and repetitive in ME2, same enemies popping out at you and taking your armour every time, so annoying. The story, RPG elements and such are also another league in Mass Effect 1.
On top of that, probably because EA bought them, ME2 and ME3 adds some insane political correctness BS to the game, making it even worse. ME2 destroys the whole amazing setup of Mass Effect 1.
I doubt any Mass Effect game will ever be like Mass Effect 1, and modern games tend to be even worse. Mass Effect 1 is an amazing adventure and a great story, told in a great way, with gameplay that fits it and RPG elements that complement it. ME2 is none of that, it's kindof more a boring action game that spits on Mass Effect 1 but keeps some elements from the previous game. The only reason ME2 is in any way decent, is because it keeps a few elements from Mass Effect 1 and any reason ME2 is perceived to be good is due to timing (advances in graphics etc). I hate so say ME2 sucks, but it kindof does, at least compared to Mass Effect 1.
If that is true, it would be the perfect solution to a new ME series: by setting the new games in the Citadel underworld, that would avoid touching in both the original and ME Andromeda endings. Many people (me included) would hate to see their headcanons for ME3 endings being f*cked up by Bioware/EA. For example, in my headcanon ending, my Paragon Shepard sacrifice himself to become the Reapers control inteligence and protect the galaxy. I would *_hate_* see that ending being wasted just because EA want to connect ME3 with MEA.
I hope we get a new game. I don’t want to play as Shepard, I don’t want a paragon or renegade system. I liked the more organic dialogue system of Andromeda. Conversations and results of your choices felt more realistic. I want the Mass Effect universe but not the baggage of the previous games. I have a bad feeling they’ll just end up pandering though.
EDIT: And to answer your questions about do I want to see the Citadel again? Yes. Do I want to explore its underbelly more? Yes. Do I want to see Aria again. Don’t care. I was always pretty blah about her character. She felt like just another cookie cutter, tough femme fatale.
After the Epic stories of the triology and then attempted Epic of Andromeda i REALLY hope that we aren't going to get Mass Cyberpunk Effect. To me that would be such a let down story and scale wise.
So the date 2819 would line up with the date for Mass Effect Andromeda which means we could be looking at a story of what is happening in the Milky Way as the Andromeda crew is trying to colonize the Helios cluster.
Oh no.... I'm so tired of the Citadel. This reeks of design laziness. MAKE NEW THINGS!
Mass Effect 5-6-7 will take place during the time of the original trilogy, and as a secret dark agent your job will be to fill the story gaps, and help shepard from the background, but your main objective will be remain hidden especially from shepard. that means being close (but not too close) to him would be profitable, meanwhile avoiding him like he avoided reapers in mass effect 3 while scanning planets. and if he sees you, then critical mission failure !
I like the theories and ideas. But I’m just wondering where Andromeda fits into everything, they aren’t going to ignore that game. There’s no way that game is being omitted from being important in some way. There needs to be a pay off regarding that game. And while I like the whole seedy underworld of the citadel as a story concept, I can’t but feel like, that can’t be it. We have so many other things that need to be addressed, dark energy being one. Wasn’t there an idea from Mass Effect 2 where they wanted Dark Energy to be something used for some kind of time travel idea? Idk I could be wrong. I thought I heard something like this going around at one point. Anyway, my point is, if we’re going back to Mass Effect 1, i really hope they just incorporate everything that was on the cutting room floor for ideas. This game is going to need something interesting.
I'd prefer it if there were as few connections to Andromeda as possible. I'd rather not have to play that game in order to understand everything that's happening .. I don't mind some mystery, it's better that way sometimes (see Reapers), so I'm not invested in them exploring what they left unanswered in the trilogy .. The agent armor looks a little like the mod armor CROSS Courser Strigidae from Fallout 4, I like it.
Thanks for the video. First thing that sprang to my mind when I saw the N7 picture with the bar was... Hey that looks like the Afterlife on Omega. Wich would make sense if we see more underworld stuff an Aria again.
I honestly don't wanna see the citadel or any of the ME characters from the initial trilogy. It won't make any sense at all. a fresh start is needed and a different story line. Liara in the trailer? why? what when someone has played a path where she is gone for good in the final battle? Another Adrastée Leliana case? Writers need to be good at what they are doing, this is an action adventure rpg where actions have direct consequences (use to). And it was an emotional ride! ME Andromeda, killed that vibe! Mass effect 5 bringing back some aesthetic of Andromeda dropped the level of my anticipation to 0... and just a wait and see, what is it truly about!
I would not be happy with a prequel.
I didn't say this would be a prequel at all?
Mass Effect 5 is well in production and will be on Alpha in 2025 as many on the Dragon Age team will join the Mass Effect team to finish the game by end of 2026 as DA will be out before the end of 2024
Well, one thing is for sure. Since the next game will take place after the events of ME3, its safe to assume there was a power vacuum. With all the various governments cripled, who is going to fill that vacuum? I can't help wondering what the galaxy would look like of the counsel is never reformed.
I don't think they will go into Innusannon. We know next to nothing about them, most of knowledge on them vanished with Protheans. And Protheans had more unresolved mysteries of their own. I would totally see exploration of Prothean history, especially if it would refrence their war with AI overtaken by reapers.
And no, I do not miss Aria. I hated her.
Hey great stuff. I'm new to the your channel and just loved your theory. I hope it comes to pass. I hope the new protagonist is related to someone in the original party like many a child born from one of the romantic partners of Shepard. Can be Shepard child following Shepard's legacy to find out more about their father. Because we aren't entirely sure what happened to him. In the trailer Liara has agreed and given her life span enough time could have passed for potential child of Shepherd to have grown up. Some clue has lead the party to believe Shepard is still alive somehow. Now they are trying to piece the clues together to find him. I also would like to go away from the Prothains because I would hate for the writers to focus so hard on trying to bring a connection with them and everything else and completely fumble it in the in. I feel like Javik arc wrapped that story up nicely. I look forward to seeing more of your content.
I hope the protagonist can be shaped more by the player I think having a wide variety of combat styles like me3 would be good also I’d like customization like me3 or better
I commented on one of your videos last year about how I thought the Epsilon Oculon Nebula names were not referencing titles but instead the Citadel. I'm glad someone finally investigated and confirmed it! Also did you notice that both the Citadel teaser artworks show a small planet/moon in the background? I think it could be Earth still, or even our moon. They might have found a way to move it out into a more distant, stable orbit. Why? Not sure. Maybe it's easier to market it as a galactic seat of power when it's not directly linked with Earth. I'm getting strong vibes of political deception with the exaggerated wording about "galactic seat of power". I imagine humans trying to use the Citadel's location to their advantage by forcing it to continue being the galactic seat of power, while many of the races are trying to move away from it because of human influence. Alliance and human corruption due to humans newfound influence seems like a perfect vibe to push the franchise forward. Now that Shepard gave humanity a place in the galaxy, we have to find a way to control it. Humans are the new Krogans.
Good catch! I wish I had seen it sooner 😭 and yes I agree with your theory
I just think that this persons and new protagonist can be just Liara, because the design reveal that is a woman or a robot (i gues...), and we know that she is alive because of teasers and all, she is the Shadow Broker and have information and methods to be a Agent who fight in and out the criminal underworld, and i like the character.
I always thought that the citadel was awesome and that there should be much more content. I always thought that you could make a thousand histories in the Citadel, with all the races, all the places. Not to mention Omega, Illium, Palaven, the Quarian homeworld, Tuchanka, Earth
Exhaustive discussion and speculation. Your argument is well made and well produced.
omg I hope they don't focus on the citadel, all the citadel quests are annoying, everytime you want to go do a quest in the universe someone on the bridge goes oh you got a message and you gotta go back to the citadel just to hear someone go can you go get me something where you walk to another area of the wait for it......the citadel!
No citadel!!!!!!!
interesting, except we already know by offical teasers that me4/mea2 is set somewhere after the reaper war from the evedince of reapers, mass relays and other ships destroyed in a short space sequence. also evidence of andromeda galaxy fitting in some where in it from galaxies and other systems being shown in the same video. though right now all things regarding the next mass effect is all speculation.interesting view though
Im sure this game has to do with Andromeda,look at the club pic theres angara,my theory is that somehow they came back after the war and will being back tech that will influence gameplay.
If this theory is true, wouldn't the new protagonist have to be a Spectre? I dont see how an Alliance soldier could have permission to do all you describe in somone elses jurisdiction.
What if* it is Thanes son before the actual Shepard arrives. I got the ending where Shepard breaths as a rock formation.
Relay station between galaxies would be my guess.
Just give me game of thrones minus the sh*tty ending and dope missions and characters, bring back drew karpyshyn to write.
I hope we get answers about the angara ai from andromeda... im still annoyed about that plot point going nowhere, given the stigma of AI in the original trilogy.
What happened to bailey had me in tears 😂😂😂 but i wouldnt be surprised if humanity created an STG type group after the fall of the citadel
