DLC CONTENT Wish list (Limited Spoilers)

Thanksgiving at Jaal's family home

His mom does have a recipe for pie, after all.

If you stick around through the epilogue content, it's kind of a safe assumption that there's some kind of outpost on Habitat 7. There would have to be. I would like to see it though.

What I would like to see and highly doubt it would happen was a multiple DLC package that could almost become a pseudo-expansion for Habitat 7. Each DLC would be a different area on Habitat 7 so you get to explore more then probably what feels like a loyalty mission or two worth of content. Each DLC would be a different landing zone and it has a narrative similar to one of the other planets we landed on, but without the need to make it viable due to what Alec did at the start of the game. So each area doesn't require the other ones to be purchased or completed, but overall it tells a single story of the one planet.

I'd like to see a stealth / infiltration type mission, that was sorely missing in ME:A.

Absolutely missing. There are a lot of features and mechanics they had in the previous series that they did not put in this new game. 

Something about Bain Massani, because Massani, and Cassandra Verner, because she's as damn daft as Conrad.

Well for pure cosmetics, I want alternate outfits for the squad. I'm still a bit peeved that we didn't see any after the Loyalty missions, especially since they came up with plenty if you look at the concept art. (This has to be free, otherwise I won't be paying a penny for something that should have been in the game in the first place.)

-A male Quarian squadmate that comes along with the arc, and maybe a female Drell squadmate.
-More hints towards the Kett culture, how large their empire is, and what they plan to do next.
-Guns. Lots of guns.
-More about the Scourge, why the Remnant are always present around it, and the Jaardan's role in created it.
-Just a hint at what the Jaardan are. I'd take some sort of vague ancient painting.

More banter that comes along with story based DLC is a must of course. A lot of this can come with the sequel, but I want some foreshadowing.

What no one has pointed out is.... Alex Ryder + no body + Kett Exaltation techniques = possible DLC for a new villain

Maybe the formula used in DAI, have a large world sized like frostback mts in Jaws of Haakon, a large planet with quests that add to main story that can be done at any part of the story or saved for after beating the game. Then a quest oriented DLC like Descent, also playable at any point in main story, followed by the wrap up/Trespasser type DLC with several locations and getting things finished off and hinting at sequel story line.

Jaws and the descent were awful DLC for that game since it had so little conversations with people and was more so just running across big ass areas killing 500 things again. The tresspasser DLC was the absolute bomb though and I'd love to have more like that as it had much more conversations, cut scenes, and was simply interesting with the Solas scenario and the inquisitions fate (they HAVE to break the trend and make the next DA game be the first to bring back the inquisitor as I still have unfinished business because of the ties to Solas). Probably the best DA DLC imo. I wouldn't mind something like the descent or jaws so long as they're sure to add conversation to them for andromeda, it'll be bland if it's just another world fighting a lot of stuff and solving a minor plot if andromeda got jaws and the descent kind of DLC, but that's just me.

I have a couple ideas for some DLC I'd like to see.. Things better established in DLC before a possible next game so we can start MEA2's story not re-treading ground with things we have already spent the first game doing.. My theories assume there will be an MEA2:

- Quarian Ark - Like many, I think this makes sense as DLC. That way we aren't searching for another Ark in the next game and we already will have all the races in Andromeda before the start of MEA2. This could perhaps give us a Quarian or other race squad mate for the DLC who will then stay with the crew to the next game. I had previously believed it wouldn't make sense to add a new squad member in a DLC like this because it would have to be set post-game, meaning this character can't be with you through all the rest of the game content. However, rethinking this.. it might not be a bad idea. Then we already have this character established and ready to go for the next game and we can just better develop them and learn more about them. As for what this DLC entails? I'm not sure on details, but it could give us information about the Reapers already invading the Milky Way and the threat of galactic extinction back home.

- New Squad member - Above I said we could get a new squad member in the Quarian Ark DLC, but it's also possible they create a squad member DLC that comes out first, who then can accompany us on the Quarian Ark story DLC. Personally, I'd enjoy even if they just made your sibling a squad member. I think that could be potentially a very fun dynamic to have your sibling on board the Tempest with you and have them in to the next game. It would certainly be a dynamic that the prior ME games didn't have. Plus, bonus points, they wouldn't have to hire a new voice actor or render a new character. Just record more lines with the Sara/Scott voice actors. This could even tie in to a Ryder Family Secret's or Andromeda Initiative Secrets DLC. Which brings me to...

- Andromeda Initiative Secrets - Whether this is a continuation on Ryder Family Secrets (which I haven't reached the end of yet) or just more secrets behind the AI itself as well as finding out the truth behind the deaths of major leaders in the Initiative. I think this would be best tied in to my thoughts above which could make your sibling a companion because it would obviously involve their father as well.

- Branching out into Andromeda - So far we have stayed completely in the Heleus Cluster... an absolutely massive cluster, granted, but just ONE cluster of the entire Andromeda galaxy which is bigger than the Milky Way as a whole. There is an immense amount to explore still and we've only hardly even scratched the surface. I'm not sure yet how they plan to branch out and explore other clusters yet without the inclusion of the Mass Relays. Perhaps some Remnant tech is discovered in the end game? Or they find something in this DLC that is basically Andromeda's Mass Relays. Maybe we could learn more secrets of the Kett or meet an entirely new race of aliens outside of Heleus. As interesting and awesome as a DLC like this could be, this would probably be better served in a sequel.. though I would like to have it now.


Honestly, we don't know the sales of MEA yet and whether it was considered a success for the company. I love the game, but it's gotten worse reviews than any other ME game to date, both by game critics and players themselves. If there is a chance that we won't get a direct sequel to Andromeda and these characters, there seem to be plenty of threads they can follow and they should go all out for the DLC's.

I'm expecting and hoping for a story heavy DLC based on the Quarian Ark. Also I would like to see a "Citadel" type DLC, where we can spend more time with our crew.
