Start a new franchise and come back to Mass Effect after a few years have passed.

The Mass Effect universe is much too rich and developed to simply let die just for the sake of it. If they have an inspired and creative idea to continue the story with another character, possibly one of a race other than human, I'm all for it.

Let Obsidian do something with it. (Also, kill off Shepard.)

I'd love them to give it to other developers. Providing there's a core Mass Effect team that are tasked with keeping the universe consistent and the canon in line, along with some quality control, I'd love to see different takes on this universe. 

An RTS, A prequel and then get bought by Activision.

It's almost inconceivable that they wouldn't keep it going but with a new crew. Hell a prequel about Shepard's earlier years would be cool.

Whatever they do, it better not involve Commander Shepard. Maybe something with multiplayer.

I don't know; I pretty much hated KOTOR II.  This is an original IP by Bioware--there is no way they would give it up just like that. "

They can milk the shit out of this franchise for all I care. It's so big that there's endless possibilities. 
I do think they should put Shepard to rest though. Spinning off into stories around the squad members and so on would be fun.

Drop The Old Republic, do a Mass Effect MMO.

Indeed, KOTOR was another developer making a game that bioware could make better. But Bioware only really makes good RPGs. The other developers could bring new genres of their expertese. I don't think anyone other than Bioware should even try making another RPG-style game (even though it's barely an RPG, but whatever), though I'd love to see, for example, Telltale do some Adventure Game on a Mass Effect minor planet. Or even some of the guys who worked on splinter cell making a C-Sec game. Things like this, rather than other developers taking the full Mass Effect burden. I'd just love some different views and explorations. "

Maybe, but it would probably be hard to do given the different origin stories players can choose. "

Finish off the series with a single multiplayer FPS taking place in the ME universe (faction VS faction business) and then not have anybody touch it again, ever.

If they're willing to make one of them canon (probably the default Earthborn/Sole Survivor) it would be doable.  "

I really hope they nail the ending in ME3
Don't make it into Star Wars Episode 1-3.

Let it fucking die and let other games live 
 
i love Mass Effect, but that shepard mania needs to end. im sick of hearing about it everywhere and seeing it get all the awards

An FPS about Garrus' adventures within the two years of Shepard's absence.

Sell it to EW and release a new game every year.

I meant EA. Mobile site can't edit. Sorry.

I'm guessing prequels.

There are options, but id go with let the series die with dignity, usually after the second sequel its just milking a franchise,but if they managed to stay innovative and original hells yeah more Mass Effect pls. But if there is a fourth they they should probably kill off Shepard and go with a new character.

" @Synthballs:  Thank you, Captain Obvious, but you are defending the guy who misspelled EA. "

I kind of hope they let the series end with the trilogy.  I want them to develop a new IP and take what they learned from Mass Effect to make that new IP even better. 

Shelve it for a few years. Or forever.
 
Make the Victorian era RPG that exists in my dreams.
 

Absolutely nothing with Shepard (maaaaybe s/he could show up as an auxiliary character in a different game) but with a universe as developed as the one they've built, they could really go anywhere. I'd like to see games that aren't shooters set in the ME universe. I think on a Bombcast awhile ago someone said something about a private detective solving Citadel crimes. Something like that could be AWESOME.

They should make more non Shepard games.

Let it die afterwards(meaning no more sequels) and just strictly do DLC for ME3. 
 
I would hate for this series to get milked to death.

Have more games in the Universe, but don't call them Mass Effect. 
 
An RTS set in the Universe would be awesome. And give the idiots their space marines FPS.

Why not call them Mass Effect? It's not like those words have any direct relationship with the story of ME 1-3. It's part of the universe.  And, I've said it before. After ME3 we'll get Mass Effect Wars, Mass Effect: N7, and a prequel, Mass Effect: First Contact. "
