I don't really understand the writing mistakes people were complaining about. Only speaking for myself, my problem is that they seem to be adding padding of a sort to try and give the people that want longer game experiences what they want. I have gone back and replayed the trilogy recently and with Mass Effect 1 I think there is just as much story there as in Mass Effect 2 and 3, but I was able to get through it in about four hours, but with Mass Effect 2 and 2 it takes about three times longer to get through what feels about the same story length. Andromeda also had a problem with what they did for the lead writer position by hiring a person to only work on the one game and then they were gone instead of having someone that worked within the company and knew what BioWare does to lead the story. I cannot remember his name, but he seemed to have left BioWare Montreal as soon as what I would think would be the majority of the story was finished and worked on Destiny 2. At least that could be what caused some of the complaints and comparing the story in Andromeda to Destiny 2 I think we could have gotten a lot worse since the lead writer was the same for both games.

The excuse I will give ME3 is they didn't have enough time to do what they wanted to do. Had they been given more time, some of the stuff seen in the game would be different. It's also possible ME3 wouldn't have receive as much backlash it received.
My Shepard with worse writing? What would be worse?
I agree that some of those original ideas sounded better. When I talk about displeasure with writing, I'm not referring to my own opinion. I enjoyed ME3 (and love the Destroy ending) and MEA. My commentary is toward people who think the writing has been terrible. To those people, I say that if they already think it was bad, it's not going to get better. The setting is irrelevant. Had there been a top notch writing crew for MEA, there would have been a lot fewer complaints. If they know that the writing sucked then why didn't they even put it on the game in the first place? That tells me that they don't care about the franchise. They just slap it in there and expect people to tolerate it, instead of doing editing and fixing the story to have faners enjoy the experience. And this is where CDPR steps in and put them ALL to shame.

Then buy games from CDPR and boycott Bioware.

People are so sensitive everytime someone puts out an opposing opinion.

People are so sensitive everytime someone puts out an opposing opinion. You are being just as sensitive with this post. The takeaway I got from the post replying to yours was buy what you like and don't buy what you don't like. Nothing more then that.

All I'm interested in is that it is furureproof; I want to be able to keep playing (mainly ME3MP) for as long as possible (servers permitting).
I'm fine with the trilogy as it is, though some aesthetic tweaking would be nice.
