Well, try to explain that to EA/Bioware.
EA dropped the Visceral's Star Wars game because it didn't had lightsabers, Chewbaccas and jedis, among other reasons.
I really fear that ME have turned into the same thing: we need to have krogans, N7 and some alliance type, otherwise is not ME. I can go without N7 (I thought it was out of place in MEA), but removing Krogans, Turians or well... Quarians, makes the game less "ME-ish" to me I don't mind adding new races, or developing existing ones (Batarians, Volus, ...) but companions are a big part of the game, and discovering their culture too
Sure, but you don't need to have a krogan for the game to be Mass Effect.
And really? You travel to another galaxy and your first decision is to bring the krogan? A peacefull, progressive and by all means, cooperative race?
Right...

Right... Some of them can be reasoned with (Wrex and his clan, also some of those brought to Andromeda). Lots of humans/turians/asari were part of the uprising on the Nexus, should we drop them too ? And finally, if I get to an unknown galaxy, with a potential unknown threat, I'd prefer to have a krogan on my side

This is what My ME3 Fantasy looks like. cg1.cgsociety.org/uploads/images/medium/chaosmos-cyborg-zombie-ninja--1-7ce1db47-0bcv.jpg In this War Ravaged battlefields, this asshole is a boss type character that would give players nightmares due to he would be hard to kill and willing to ambush the players. Think of an eviler pissed off nastier version of the Cerberus Phantom. Side Note: they are completely un-indoctrinated by the Reapers and they are nasty on their own accord and willing to work with the Reaper for the bloodshed. In short, they are the nightmare fuel versions of Psycho-for-Hire that no player wants to face.

Isn't the Nakmor breeding rate substantially below that? Yes. The krogan who went to Andromeda were starting to get over the Genophage and had some gene therapy to help more, but they are still having only a small fraction of those numbers in a clutch. Kesh looks to have maybe a few, but the important thing to them is that all are alive.

Kesh looks to have maybe a few, but the important thing to them is that all are alive. That’s more in a we don’t know what that means situation. She is the only one who had children so far. They all might be cured. They all for the same gene therapy while in cryo.(which is such a dumb idea, but the andromeda initiative is just jam packed with dumb ideas like the pathfinders arriving last so it’s not unusually dumb) I think her birth rate would mean every other race there should be planning how to exterminate every Krogan in andromeda and if not dropping another genophage probably following through on those plans. They really only have a few years to pull it off before there are just too many damn krogan. As an aside I think it’s funny how there is a really bad quest about some dumb lady having a kid and everyone says how dumb she was for doing it before andromeda was ready but kesh having a thousand kids is a celebration.

Hey, every civilization needs some cannon fodder. A race that has 1000 young annually, meaning a million born from a 1000 females every year. A billion from that million. A trillion from that billion. Nitpick time, we don't know if its annually, and you need a male and female so its more 1000 become 500,000, which become 250,000,000, which become 125,000,000,000, then 65 trillion. So 5 ish generations just from Kesh and you are coming close to overpopulating the entire galaxy. That can't go wrong. Now lets assume 100 Krogan went/defrosted to Andromeda the starting next generation is 50k, if each mom has 2 clutches its 100k for the start generation. So add 2 0s to all my numbers.
The genophage only makes sense as a story point if its never cured. Once its cured, either the writers are terrible at math or they go almost right into a a war with krogan storyline.

I've said this time and again and will say it now; 'Mass Effect 5, the Return of Shepard'. I consider Andromeda ME4, which technically may not be correct, but oh well. Seeing Shepard again, after all those years, with his/her crew, take my money BW, seriously. Make it work and make it happen.

Here's an idea on how that could happen, if interested.

Newsflash. Shepard will not save the game if the overall writing is exactly as lackluster as Andromeda.

Seeing Shepard again, after all those years, with his/her crew, take my money BW, seriously. Make it work and make it happen. Technically, ME5 is correct. Mass Effect: Andromeda was undeniably released with Mass Effect(TM) in its title. It is part of the franchise regardless of how badly some people want to deny that and play cutesy mind games with it here on BSN.. The next game released with Mass Effect in the title, regardless of what its subject matter turns out to be will (again undeniably) be the fifth game released with "Mass Effect" in the title. Nothing can change that. When it receives an actual title, it will go by its proper title. Regardless, the game that follows it will be ME6.

Absolutely, but it will give it a better marketing pitch, ensuring some good initial financial numbers, whereas Andromeda 2 will most likely not be afforded that luxury and in the off chance it is actually good, it will have a very bad initial period that might prove devastating for the title and the studio in the long term, if it even picks up due to good critical reception at all. The point is always the hook and the name of Mass Effect and Bioware alone is a hook no longer.

With Anthem and DA4 allocated Dylan and Joplin, I'm guessing Bowie for Mass Effect. I'm thinking, codenamed "Hendrix" since both Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix died within three weeks of each other, and both at the age of only 27. Janis died on October 4th 1970 and Jimi died September 18th, also 1970. Not to mention, Hendrix covered several of Dylan's songs.

I'm not convinced Shepard is as big a hook as you think he is, once people see that save imports are impossible and whatever is coming back isn't actually their Shepard. Or rather, Shepard will be the same but the world will have been retconned enough so that nothing Shepard did actually matters.

Or rather, Shepard will be the same but the world will have been retconned enough so that nothing Shepard did actually matters. If you can't hook the audience back with, if not Shepard himself, the crew that goes along with him, then you've lost ME. If Andromeda failed to capture the audience and further damaged the brand, Andromeda 2 will face a lot of prejudice towards it from the gaming media outlets, youtubers and discontent customers. No matter the amount of apologists that paint Andromeda being not as bad, that is not going to fly well with the general public and Anthem will most certainly not have helped in that regard. And since they are going to have to start planning their next move from now, announcing an Andromeda 2, some time after Dragon Age 4, regardless of how well that title will be received, but even more so after a mediocre DA4 or an outright bad one, well I'll just say I'd be mighty interested to see the public's reaction to that. It'd be more entertaining than the game itself, all the way leading up to its release.
If that's their plan, then they'd best move away from ME and on to something else next. Which wouldn't please me, but it'd be in Bioware's best interest.

Shepard is like the high-school football captain Jock or the high-school cheerleader captain (for the femsheps), playing soldier.

Shepard might return... As a playable character in a fighting game. Other than cameos, I'd say the sun has set on Shepard. We are more likely to see the tortured corpse of Ryder Sr.

I think that even if they keep Andromeda, they simply should name it something else than Andromeda 2. There's a reason Dragon Age Inquisition was called that, rather than Dragon Age 3; To get rid of the negative stigma that DA2 brought forth on it. Thus, they should do the same for Andromeda, taking a name that is barely used in anything but still recognizable, like, Mass Effect Maelstrom, or Mass Effect Constituent, or Mass Effect Abnegation. Those titles can be used for practically any story they would want to tell. It can still take place in Andromeda. It can also be the same characters, although it might be wise for it to be different characters, completely separate from being a Pathfinder, but not moving too far away from the established time and setting.

Did you know that in MEA in the mission "Descension in The Ranks", the relays you find to track down the Kett 2nd in command, all the relays have messages with a reference to a song in them such as Raspberry Beret by Prince, a song by Leonard Cohen and one by Bowie I think. I believe it was a tribute to all of them as they died whilst MEA was being made. I posted this in the Mass Effect Andromeda "The Little Things You Have Discovered" but don't have the time to search for it ATM.
