Mass Effect 4 Story Doesn't Relate to the Shepard Trilogy in Any Way.
[quote]Mass Effect 4’s story will not touch upon the events of the original story in the slightest, BioWare has revealed.
Discussing the upcoming sci-fi RPG’s plot with Complex, Mass Effect 3 writer Marc Walters said, “Well, I can’t get into details, but the idea is that we have agreed to tell a story that doesn’t relate necessarily to any of the Shepard events at all, whatsoever.
“That’s what we’ve been deciding for a while. But throughout it all, one of the key things is that it has to be Mass Effect. It can’t just feel like a spin-off. It has to feel like a Mass Effect game at its heart, at its core. Just without the Shepard character or the Shepard specific companions.”[/quote]
Is it possible that we could be looking at the start of a new trilogy? I sure hope so!

Well, that keeps it on the store shelves for me. They had a good opportunity to give us some insights at the un-stable galaxy after the events of the crucible, and wrap up all the crap they left out for us in the process. I was skeptical when when I heard they were making 4, because they always talked of ending the series after 3. And if they had done well with 3 I would have been fine and content. But they didn't. And, much like the Indoctrination theory, where they had the opportunity to recover from a potential mistake and make a big ass move that hasn't been done in gaming before, they've passed up the opportunity again, to tell a story in the post crucible firing galaxy, which is still a very turbulent time. If I had to guess it's because they would have to choose a canon ending to base things around, which would slap whoever has whatever particular ending ingrained into them as the canon one. I'm [i]so[/i] pleased they didn't want to step on the toes of the two or three people that enjoyed the original endings.
