I would love to play through as a Quarian - and explore more of the flotilla.
It would be awesome if you played as a Cop tasked with taking down a gang or something along those lines.
I would get rid of the asari in general. Easily the worst, most uninspired race in Mass Effect by a country mile.

A whole universe and you want a cop drama? Hindle plz
If it is a new cycle, I hope it's all based on issues surrounding the first contact between species (and potential wars with may happen), and if you are the one who has to sort them out etc...
That has been mentioned a few times, hopefully it is further fleshed out with the Yahg's etc...
Just let me play as a Salarian please. Pwetty please Bioware.
I would say it's the humans I can't name that many interesting human characters. Most of your squadmates are absolute bores.

They need to be more distinctive. Liara's voice acting was also very, very bad..and I think that might have had something to do with the negativity.Hey Aethyta is pretty ballin' but yeah I'd totally be ok if the Asari just ceased to exist.

No. We can get rid of the pesky Quarians and all you Tali waifu loving weirdos.
Tali's hardly one of my favourite characters, so I don't know where you're going with this.No. We can get rid of the pesky Quarians and all you Tali waifu loving weirdos.
Control
"Shepard did this stuff and then the reapers just disappeared... no one heard from them again and Shepard was never found"
Destroy
"Shepard did it and stuff blew up setting us back a bit, but Geth etc ended up surviving because they had been building a really powerful shelter to try and outlast the war and slowly rebuilt"
Synthesis
"Everyone had green eyes for a while and there's some altered dialogue but that's it"
Since they wrote away the whole 'everyone in orbit is obviously dead" and all the ramifications that would have had with the three different endings, it's actually pretty easy. All you need it some Bioware grade 'who gives a fuck' hand wave writing that invalidates or marginalizes any past decisions. They're really good at it writing their way out of corners with logic that makes no sense.
The bigger issues are actually how they would deal with things like the outcomes of the Geth/Quarian conflict and the Genophage.
I don't really want a "save the world storyline" again. It would be awesome if you played as a Cop tasked with taking down a gang or something along those lines.

The Krogan are awesome until you start thinking about them too much. I kind of think the bits of Krogan ancient culture were placed in ME3 so they could somehow become less 'Klingon Turtle-esque'.nope nope nope
You are thinking of Krogans.

They looked amazing by the way. Also they stated that, like humans having many different features from each other, they wanted to do that with other races. That showed off some salarians and krogans with interesting face and bone structures.
Maybe not a "cop drama", but I would prefer something smaller in scale than "save the universe" scenario too. At least then it would make sense for all the other species and leaders to be ignorant about your mission, and the main character wouldn't be turned into space Jesus again after just a single game.
It's kind of hard to customize Quarians considering you can't even see their faces, so it makes sense why not many want them as playable characters. Krogan...well, they all look the same to me.
Wait, is that racist?

Tali's hardly one of my favourite characters, so I don't know where you're going with this.
And at the very least, the quarians have a fairly well developed (by the standards of Mass Effect) culture and have an interesting visual motif that plays off the geth. Asari are bland, boring, and undercooked in both lore and in design. They presumably wanted a species that their average player could relate to and find attractive immediately and were too uninspired to figure out how to do any of that besides just painting human women blue.
The severe lack of Drell love in this thread is disheartening.

I know... Fuck Turians, Drell is the superior insect race!
This reminds me I need to finish ME3 ASAP.
Well when you put it like that lol.
You get what I mean though, a storyline that doesn't end with saving the world would be awesome. Maybe an intergalactic conspiracy based around race?
They did say that exploration and story are very important and that one of their goals to strive for was "a stranger in a strange land like ME1" I think that's the way Mike Gamble worded it.
I don't know what's wrong behind the concept "have a big world and 'mundane' conflict".
I'm not saying we should play as farmer in Dragon Age, or Omega bar bouncer, but why RPG games with big world as much as Dragon Age and Mass Effect must have end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it plot. World as scope is too ambitous and would be horrible, writing nightmare if they still insist that player agency is important.
More 'mundane' conflict could have more benefit from player agency. The effect would only limited to small numbers of people, so the writing much easier to pull off. Also 'mundane' conflict could be interesting at a time. I'm having more fun from reading the galactic headline on the main menu when it still online than from playing most of the side quest. Small scope doesn't make a game less interesting, since it will fall down to executions.
People at this event were probably the type who saw me3 ending as deep instead if flaming shit. Aka no tasteKrogan. Really?
Why would you want to get rid of Krogans? Wrex and Grunt were the best characters in the trilogy.
Who the fuck wants to get rid of Krogans? They're like Dino-Klingons.
Me. They're a boring race really. It's all violence and dumb brute behavior and it seems to affect 99% of them. I don't mind getting rid of the quarians either really, I'd prefer those two going away than the geth, turians, salarians and asari.
I know... Fuck Turians, Drell is the superior insect race!
More than anything I don't want it to turn into a mediocre third person shooter again.
