Realistically how would a modern Mass Effect even work?

The entire original Mass Effect trilogy was released inside of 5 years. I doubt they could get a single new Mass Effect out in that span with these long development cycles.

All that talk about choices back then now they'd either have to limit it to a single game or cut content like Dragon Age Veilguard where they took all the series choices and abandoned them limiting them to like 3 options.

Those type of games we got back then don't seem like they'd work in modern AAA gaming.

It would work they just would have to lean heavy on making sure the actual gameplay is good

Let’s keep it quadrillion , who really gives a fukk about dialogue choices and shyt like that

I mean cool if companies going to go deep into choices and shyt but I doubt most really give a fukk if it’s not there

I could care less if my character speaks at all during the game

Really they should lean into making. A space socom navy seals, that was always the most important thing about that game, not necessarily the roleplaying in my opinion

yeah andromeda was such a letdown, It didn't make you feel like you were a savior, shyt felt like I was just trekking through the game not ever feeling like I'm actually working towards an overarching goal.

It would take 12 or so years to do a trilogy at the going rate. If they have the player make all those choices it would likely take longer as there would be too much stuff to account for.

They would have to either nail it down to a game or two or just remove all those options and tell a specific story.

People would rage. A modem Mass Effect will be different than the older titles for sure.
