Future Mass Effect adventures could very well star one of Commander Shephard's squad mates or even dastardly foes as the leading man/lady. BioWare say it would be cool to do something with one of these NPCs.

Turian ex-C-SEC officer Garrus is rated high among the possible candidates at getting a spin-off "completely unrelated" to the larger plot of Mass Effect, i.e. no Reapers or Prothean artefacts.

Mac Walters was the lead writer for Mass Effect 3, and he's confirmed that his talent for stringing words together is being put to work on the next Mass Effect which is "coming out of Montreal," and not Edmonton.

BioWare co-founder Dr. Greg Zeschuk doesn't hold much hope in the next generation of platforms as catalysts for revival. Unlike Microsoft and Sony "pull something magically out of a hat," it's the same old tricks.

The trouble is that the new market emerging is "not really that great" - only some are making a ton of money, but most don't see revenues like from the console business. Need something innovative.

Casey Hudson, executive producer of the Mass Effect series, has reiterated at PAX East that 'Mass Effect 4' will be "a new thing," as it breaks away from the Commander Shephard trilogy.

The original Mass Effect team at BioWare Edmonton is creating a "whole new fictional universe", while BioWare Montreal takes the reins. Tali almost wasn't a squadmate in Mass Effect 3.
