Mass Effect - 6 Ways the Next Mass Effect Can Be Better

Twinfinite state their ideas for making the next Mass Effect the best it can be.

With the recent announcement that a new Mass Effect game is in “Early Stages” stages of development, fans have already begun speculating about the direction the series will take. Will it continue the Mass Effect Andromeda story? Or does Bioware want another fresh start?

While no one will know for certain until Bioware tells us as much, there is plenty of room to speculate and hope. As such, we’ve put together a list of six ways we believe the next Mass Effect can bring the series back to the form fans know and love.

Main Character Race Choice

The first Mass Effect features one of the coolest character creations in gaming. Not only do players get to customize their Shepard’s look and sex, they even get to pick specific backstories that alter dialogue and missions throughout the series. 

Ever since that incredible first character creation, fans have always wanted to take the next step; allow players to alter their character’s race as well. Getting to play as a species like the Drell or Turians opens up so many possibilities.

 Like the first game in the series, backstory and interactions can differ depending on the race you choose, helping the story feel less linear. Alongside this, races can also have unique perks, as seen in the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer mode. 

Considering how long fans have been begging for this feature, it seems like this is one of the easiest and most essential things BioWare can do to win back its fans’ loyalty.
