Realistically how would a modern Mass Effect even work?

You're missing the whole point of Mass Effect. If you want a FPS or TPS they make those already.

Mind you they already dumbed down Mass Effect to be more of a shooter but stripping out RPG mechanics and still calling the game Mass Effect is pointless. Just end the series and make a new IP because they'd be killing it anyway doing what you're saying.
When they focused more on the gameplay for 2 and 3, those games turned out to be goty type games

They made Andromeda already which was heavily destroyed and that was just a shooter where choices didn't matter and dialog didn't matter.

People aren't coming to Mass Effect just to be gears of war. Dialogue choices, questing, etc. Is gameplay.
Andromeda was a rushed game and people bytches and complained about the characters that’s why it got shytted on

People want to play a fun game, dialogue choices don’t move the needle, doesn’t make something fun

If we’re being honest ther will probably be better space/sci fi games released before mass effect 4 anyway
Would be nice, but it doesn’t really seem like something most devs are interested in attempting (at least on a grand scale). Maybe if Starfield made a botw-level impact on the industry

I don’t give a fukk about no turn based game, that’s for a particular demographic

I’ll play it once it’s on sale but I couldnt care less
It doesn't matter if you care about it. The fact is, you're incorrect about dialogue options in games.

I don't think so because sci-fi space opera doesn't seem to be something many developers want to make. At best you're looking at star citizen's single player coming in the next few years.

A fun game is a mass effect that remembers it's an action rpg not just an action game that you can sometimes talk to people.

This is what I am saying. If anything they should have leaned harder into the RPG parts of the game.

modern? wasnt the first mass effect modern?
Modern games have development cycles that encompass the entire timeframe the original Mass Effect trilogy took to make. That all was inside of 5 years. It would take way more time than that just to make the first game and for them to give you choices and options a sequel would have to take them into account and it would extend the development cycle on the sequel.

That style of game with all those options and a adjusting story isn't practical anymore. We see it with Dragon Age where they just ended up jettisoning a lot of the options and the entire Dragon Age Keep.
