I thought this was interesting and worth sharing, in case you hadn't heard the news: Little comments from Chris Priestly (being an obnoxious git and getting paid for it as usual) and Yanick Roy dissuading people from thinking of the fourth Mass Effect game as 'Mass Effect 4'Roy also seems to misunderstand that World War 1 did not end with a three-way singularity in which it is possible for all of the allied forces to have turned into robots.... but hey. -- My annoyance aside, this is interesting, and it gives me hope that the new game won't 'spoil' the original three by following on and muting the point of the ending. They're being far too vague for us to really guess at what they mean, but they sound like maybe the setting will be somewhat unique. But then I think it would have to be extremely distant in the future to allow the ending choice of ME3 to stand. I just remembered that the fourth ending actually has Shepard losing and all the familiar races being destroyed. So I suppose 'Refusal' is now officially non-canon? What a shame.

I doubt Refusal's ever going to be canon. They'd never make a Mass Effect game without humans in it.
I don't know how going real far forward in the timeline would make the impact of your choice less apparent, though. People either are or aren't going to be glowing green.
Anyway, my guess for Mass Effect 4 Orbis is some kind of prequel/interquel taking place after humans showed up but before ME3.

I'm glad that the series is getting some new blood with BioWare Montreal taking over production. I think Casey Hudson's development philosophy of trending the story towards the maximum amount of explosions was getting a little silly. I'm really not sure where they can take the story from here. I think they still have to decide if they're going to make anything in the trilogy canon - or everything. Or maybe kinda sidestep it like KotOR 2 did.
I'm interested to see how it'll turn out, and a lot of people seem to be making it known that they'd like to play as different races. Wonder if they'll actually take that into consideration. I'd love that. =D

Well in TOR they did have several races for each class but the same VA for all of them except for the genders. FemHawke actually did a good job as a Imp Agent.

Honestly, I think that the best outcome would be to set it near the same time as the Reaper invasion, but not be about them, or Shepard.
Or set it far enough in the future that the divergent endings kinda coalesce (synergy maybe not being a permanent thing or something) that Shepard is not on everyone's lips. I've had enough of Shepard, time for a new story in the same setting.
