@Tylea002: Which is precisely why they aren't giving Bioware's vision to another one of their developer's new EA wouldn't take that chance with a hit like Mass Effect. Yes, dead space is big, but ME is huge. I've noticed they walk around it like it was glass. Bioware is definitely in charge of ME. Then again that could be because Ray Myuza is a Senior Vice President for EA and Group General Manager of EA's developers.
@Tylea002: I think we are thinking of different EA's is there another one on Jupiter that's actually good? EA is the perfect company to ruin a franchise. Thankfully they really don't mess with their good developers. They at least get that.
" 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. "
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. "
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. "
If done right, that would be cool. But the only reason another developer would pick up the franchise (and pay the royalties) is if they knew it was going to be a hit, but the same conundrum that appears in Movie games appears here: why make a great game that will make a little money, when you can make a crappy game whose name will sell itself and make bukus of money?

@TheDudeOfGaming: I would like to see more RPG mechanics. ME was ok in the RPG department, and ME2 was just plain unsatisfying. I want to customize my characters out the wazoo.
