I admire your word choice here if you picked the green light
HERE BE SPOILERS
Really, anything post-Shepard would be difficult, considering the massive apocalypse the end of the game creates (and comparatively, this is nothing all things considered). Basically the world shouldn't exist, and even if it did it presents an even worse problem for Bioware: they have to pick an ending. That illusion of choice they just tried to restore? Completely destroyed. That, and they ought to know better: they did the same thing with KOTOR's protagonist in SWTOR.
END SPOILERS
I had heard tell of a potential ME MMO, which is intriguing. Again, I'd have to figure that'd be prequel material, probably set around the time humans join the galactic community.

The game has been out for over 2 years now, so if anyone is worried about spoilers they are late to the party.
I did choose those words specifically because Bioware has 3 choices for a Mass Effect 4 game:
1) A sequel to ME3, using the synergy option. Honestly, the way the ending of ME3 is set up, it leads you to believe the synergy option is the "best" one, regardless of your renegade/paragon score. Build on this as it means Shepherd is completely gone (but not really) and they build into the future.
2) A prequel to ME1. There is lots of backstory to build on in all the codex entries through all 3 games, but given how much has been developed in the 3 existing games, it would be difficult to create a compelling story without players knowing the ending.
3) A ride-along story. Run a game that runs at the same time as ME1, 2, 3 and that ends with the ending in ME3. Let the new player somehow have influence in the decision, then build an ME5 and beyond based on that decision.
Regardless, I enjoy the universe and rules and gameplay they've created so I'll be playing ME4 whatever the story.

You're dead to me.
I'm stuck with League of Legends. Occasionally I'll play World of Tanks or (War Thunder? Thunder War?) or just FF tactics or VII. I'm becoming a cheapskate.
I really want to get a PS 4 so I can play The Last of Us, or some of the other games that are coming out soon. Lords of the Fallen looks sick as shit, I'd literally have a nerdgasm if I can get my hands on that game.

There were some fun sequences, I'll admit, but it seemed to want to rely on its story, which... was unwise.
