No. Keep Ryder. We've only scratched the surface of their potential as a character imo

Honestly, I'm fine with either option. But if we continue with Ryder, I want to continue the relationships with the crew, not the bullshit that they made with ME1 LI in ME3. But at the same time, I want a new LI because I'm not entirely satisfied with the options we had, and I don't like to cheat.

Considering the type of story they told in MEA, I cannot come up with a good reason to change protagonists. I would like to continue developing Ryder.

I'd be fine either way but one of the good things of the trilogy was watching your Shepard grow. I would like the same for Ryder

I would enjoy playing as a Ryder in the next game. Right now I love playing as Scott Rider. Hopefully they will continue the rider story!

Keep Ryder.
The only reason Dragon Age keeps having different protagonist is because of the way the story is being told, story the writer wants to tell and we are just tagging along for the ride, watching his story and experiencing his ego through different characters; and the annoying NPCs the writer likes that just refuse to die - Yeah looking at the redhead and the witch.
Mass Effect is suppose to be the players journey through the eyes of a character.
Bioware just keeps screwing up their protagonist, that is why they need to start clean each and every time. I sincerely belive Hawke was suppose to be a protagonist like Shepard - until the bad reviews and all. Maybe if they can hire neutral writers who doesn't feel the urge of projecting their stupid ego, pathetic beliefs and holier than thou morals into the game so much, they wont screw up so bad.

Keep whichever Ryder we have as the Main character, add the twin as a customizable squadmate with only 1 profile & 1 skill tree which we pick at the beginnning of the game. I'd love to see the Ryders interacting in mission more.

Hmm, I don't know. Before the game I would have said 100% Ryder, but her forced boring & bland paragon personality is so not my cup of tea... IF we got better, less limited dialogue options (bring back renegade for the starters) and they stop forcing opinions to our character via autodialogue/dialogue, THEN I would be okay with it.
I would like mostly new companions though. Some old faces, sure, but I feel like these characters have their own places to be and wouldn't stick with Ryder forever. One idea I had was they could put Ryder back to cryo and she would wake up 10-30 years later. See how the Galaxy has changed in the meanwhile and what new threats humanity faces.

People need to realize that the timejump will be small, like in the original trilogy. Not going to use spoiler tags here, everybody who finished the game knows the Kett are coming. And with the resources they have thrown at the cluster to conquer it, it is pretty clear that their "empire" is a real empire, not a grand name for a dozen settled worlds or so. And with them being written as biological Borg meet Necromongers, they won't take lightly to being denied their will.
And on the topic of missing renegade options, that is not going to change (was already being discussed, for several reasons). If you can't accept that, MEA may not be a game for anymore.

MEA leaves a lot of room for this, since Jaal, Peebee, Vetra and Drack are basically the misfit characters that could up and decide to part ways once everything is done with, leaving us with Cora, Liam and the assorted crew that all have long-lasting positions on the Tempest.

New character.
An actual military specialist.
Alec was N7 but felt like a better scientist than war man. Scott is explorer.
Avitus Rix is the most badass killer I seen from MWG in this game thus far. We need to play as someone like that as we take the fight directly to the Kett and invade their home in the sequel.

I'd love to see the Ryders interacting in mission more. I completely agree with this. I was actually very disappointed that our only interaction with an NPC our character was supposed to be concerned about was to visit once or twice on the nexus then see in action only once for the final mission. When I did my first play-through, I kept hoping she'd end up on my ship ... at least as a side NPC (like Lexi, Suvi, Gil or Kallo). Considering the story at the beginning and the whole family situation I REALLY wanted to see more focus on the sister. Maybe not as part of the main storyline, but as something similar to the Ryder Family Secrets .... something focusing on interacting with her. I mean, Mom died before the trip (or ... did she? da da daaaaaaaaaa), Dad dies during the intro to the game, and here you are dealing with the only family left being your Sister. Speaking as someone who spent time as a soldier in real life ... if I were in that situation, would I focus on my duty? YES. But would I also make an effort to also be around to comfort my only sibling who has me as the only family member left? Also a definite yes. That's probably just me, though. In today's modern society, there doesn't seem to be much stock left in family any more, it seems.

I have a bad feeling I won't like Ryder for a sequel when Andromeda and all its DLC is done. He's overpowered and forcibly becomes a hero. He doesn't seem to have much room to grow because he's too confident and has no flaws.
Shepard's accomplishments in ME1 and ME2 are limited to some backdoor stuff that in ME1 ends up making him the hero that saved the Citadel and prevented galactic genocide by keeping the Reapers out in Dark Space, but he did not have to look at an entire cluster in turmoil and then save each place like it's his laundry list from the get-go. Only by ME3 and curtesy of Mac Walter's asinine plot-pitch did Shepard turn into a Mary Sue who saved one race from genocide after another in a few weeks and then the entire galaxy via space magic and all the "flaws" he had was having dreams thinking he'd fail a day before he cured the genophage and another bad dream the day before he saved the Quarians and the Geth.
It's just, BioWare has entered Spiderman The Animated Series levels of crap plotting since ME3. It's too desperate to be big and impressive and the timeline ends up being a complete mess by the end of the series. Imagine if DA4 was about the Inquisitor. It's just not going to work because the Inquisitor was already a superhero badass who stopped political conflict, saved the world and grew the most reputable rogue organization and Ryder is honestly kind of similar if a bit toned down. He's still a Sue.

I love my Ryder, but I'm leaning towards wrapping up their storyline in the upcoming DLCs and keeping both siblings a major NPCs in MEA2.

he's too confident and has no flaws. All good points except for this one. His confidence is controlled by you as a player. You think he is confident because you chose all dialogue options to make him that way - but in almost every convo there are options for him to be like, "Woah, wait, wtf?" and be worried about stuff that might happen. Yeah, obviously he ends up getting the job done in the long run, but his whole attitude about it is based entirely on what attitude you want him to have.,

Keep the Ryder Twins. Just reinvent the wheel again. Just improve everything that they set up in this game.

I want to continue with the Ryders. I'd like to see the non-played sibling have a role of their own-maybe leading a strike team to complement the main one's efforts.
The characters are young. They have a lot of room to continue growth and development for at least one or two games. I prefer to do that than hop from one character to another throughout a series. I really felt there was so little continuity in DA because of the protagonist changes. I think MET flowed better.
Obviously, that's just my opinion.

Keep Ryder around. For me one of Mass Effects biggest draws was getting to take my character across multiple games. Let the Dragon Age team keep their different protagonist every game thing.

I wouldn't mind if Ryder makes a return. Would she/he still be called Pathfinder? Maybe the sibling could be a squadmate. Or stays on the Nexus helping with whatever.

No they should keep Ryder if there is a ME:A 2 and they should also keep Ryder if there is going to be a ME:A 3 as well, because seriously we have barely scratched the service on Ryder and what Ryder can do
Edit - what I liked about the ME Trilogy was that you could take shepard from ME to ME2 and then through ME 3 and I expect/hope they do that in second MEA and third MEA game if there are one

I would like them to keep the whole squad this time. Maybe retire Drack, make him have a ME2!Wrex role. That leaves us able to continue all our romances, flesh the characters out more, and add 2-4 new squadmates, including the twin. Maybe Reyes too.
