One way to continue Mass Effect Andromeda

No. I want a direct sequel.

Pointless.  The story now is quite open to a sequel and the current PC character(s) can develop in any number of directions every bit as easily as a new character set 100 years later.  Even though you're not interested in the current Ryder characters, there are a number of people who have posted here that they are. There is no need to step on their toes at all.  Drawing on the populations bases of yet undiscovered alien species and the quarian ark  that has not arrived as yet, the outposts established by Ryder can easily be expanded and the timeline need not be that long... because IRL towns can grow into cities within a very short time.  For example, the City of Calgary was first established as a fort in 1873 and gain city status by 1894.  With resources now available, the Nexus can also logically expand very quickly.

Some people were upset enough about leaving the Milky Way... why upset more by now quickly abandoning a story that's only just begun when it would be completely unnecessary?

Andromeda is already a replica of the Milky Way Mass Effect. Even the Quarians, Hanar and Drell are coming. 

While i think the idea presented is silly i do want a time jump of 5-10 years would be appropriate to give the initiative a little breathing room before things go to hell.

That would end the franchise for good.

Many want a continuation to MEA and that's what will happen eventually, but if we went backwards, then I'm done with the series. People need to get over Shepard. That story is done and bringing them back would ruin everything.

Considering it's a migration, yes, that's somewhat true. But I don't want a New Illium or New Noveria, et al.

I'll give you this, I do want to see a time lapse between MEA and MEA2, but only of about 10 or 15 years. Give the Nexus something to lose but still have the Ryder twins as the protags.

After the amount of hate Andromeda got, i will bet cash money MEA2 doesn't bring back the Ryders as the playable character.

It’ll never happen - not sure how some of you can’t realize that the stench of Andromeda is something that EA wants to distance themselves from forever - can you imagine the shitstorm if DLC or a a sequal is announced?  It’ll be ridiculed to death, warranted or not.

That’s not worth it - especially when they’ve got another game coming out that also has jet packs and aliens, and is created by the people at BioWare that are still competent. 

Yep. Also have the honorable Mr.Rupert Gardner, the greatest chef in the universe, play a role in the game

I'm glad Gamble agrees with me lol
 

I actually want to stay in the Andromeda galaxy, but have at it from an outlaw/exile perspective. Let us be some not so good guys this time around. Explore the galaxy and get up to all sorts of trouble

Very true. I have no doubt there will be another Mass Effect based in Andromeda and I don't expect to see that reveal for another 2 to 3 years at least, which is the usual practice of BioWare.
