I mean ... not that I don't appreciate the overwhelming amount of feedback I just received, but could you perhaps expand on your complaints? I don't like the idea of fighting the Nexus and Angara. The Roekaar are a different story though.

I don't like the idea of fighting the Nexus and Angara. The Roekaar are a different story though. I understand that, they are your friends, after all. But you also need an enemy that isn't a pushover, like the Nexus you spent an entire game building up as the power player in the explored Andromeda space. And you won't be fighting the Angara. At least not for the second game. And even when you do, which will be after you've allied yourself with the Kett and your heated debate with Jaal, that may cause him to leave you, or fight you, which would end in his death, Ryder would not be doing so with a clear conscience. But that is the beauty of it, not everything is going to be sunshine and rainbows. Right?

I would have the Kett attack the Nexus at the beginning of MEA2. The Nexus is nearly destroyed. A short time after that, the Kett attack an outpost wiping it out. The Kett realize to continue to do the exalt stuff, without anymore interference, they have to remove the Initiative.

The Kett would never ally with anyone. The only alliance they will accept is the exaltation of the other race.

The Kett realize to continue to do the exalt stuff, without anymore interference, they have to remove the Initiative. As I would have it, the Nexus would become abandoned, with the races citing irreconcilable differences, due to the collapse of the structure form of the Nexus, stripping it and each race receding to a single cluster, separate from the others. The Kett would never ally with anyone. The only alliance they will accept is the exaltation of the other race. They wouldn't have much of a choice. They'd either be wiped out by the Nexus, who would be progressively wiping the floor with them, by that point in the game, or take whatever help they can, in whatever form they can, to save themselves from extinction.

They have a galactic empire, with the massive group we’ve seen so far being nothing more than a small task force. The Nexus is nothing more than a nuisance to them in the grand scheme of things.

If they are such a formidable force, why aren't they already in the Heleus cluster? If their "small task force" was having problems, where are the reinforcements? If the Kett are to amass a force, formidable enough, from across the galaxy, to fight the nexus, no amount of tech should be able to outdo them, otherwise, we are just regurgitating the plot to ME3. If all we're going to do is fight Kett forces of equal size to ME:A's, propping up the Kett as the big enemies any further, is pointless. Montreal basically wrote themselves into a corner with this plot. There is nothing further interesting that can be done with the Kett. They are an inept threat, at this point.

Because until we showed up and before the Archon became obsessed with the Remnant they were doing fine with what they had. Remember the game only takes place within the span of a few months. Between the time reinforcements would take to get there and the Archon not requesting any in the first place, there’s no reason why more of the empire would be there. And no, they are not an inept threat. You just think they are because anything else goes against your precious fan fiction.

I don't know how you're calculating that the kett forces available for employment in Heleus must either be the limited force we've seen so far or effectively infinite. I get that you're just trying to make up reasons to get rid of the left because you don't like them, but a blatant excluded middle fallacy is no way to go about it.

Between the time reinforcements would take to get there and the Archon not requesting any in the first place, there’s no reason why more of the empire would be there. So we go cluster to cluster, wiping them out? Is that the plan? That will take millennia. Who is on board with a thousand games where we fight the Kett, time and again? And no, they are not an inept threat. You just think they are because anything else goes against your precious fan fiction. The Kett have shown little to no signs of actual intelligence or greater strategic capabilities. They've been unable to locate and eradicate clusters of vastly outnumbered Milky Way forces and got bested by a school boy/girl, a ragtag bunch of rejects and a furry. You can say something, you can believe it, you can oversimplify what other people say, but it doesn't make it true. I don't know how you're calculating that the kett forces available for employment in Heleus must either be the limited force we've seen so far or effectively infinite. I get that you're just trying to make up reasons to get rid of the left because you don't like them, but a blatant excluded middle fallacy is no way to go about it. So what would the Kett do? Bring an equally large force as the one already in the Heleus cluster again? Bring a vastly overwpowering fleet? Bring just enough Kett to make the battle interesting?
