Did we really/want another Mass Effect game?

Inquisition was a rather bad experience for me on the whole, and I have never liked DA setting to start with, but I still want another DA game, because there was just enough good bits across all three games to still offer a hope of another gem of a game there.

The only one standing out was Cora's. Because of it's resolution and the possible twist.

I wanted a sequel with Shepard or at least someone to follow up his steps after the endings of ME3. I wanted to see the squadmates and NPCs from the original trilogy and see how the Milky Way changed after the Reapers invasion. Andromeda is a huge disappointment.

Of course we did, the ME universe is huge with all the lore they set up. It just doesn't revolve around Shepard.Hell, we haven't even had a chance to play a non human main yet.

If Bioware keeps making Mass Effect games for the rest of my life I will be totally happy. They're big galaxies, lots of stories to tell. Lots of characters to meet.

May I ask how much experience you have with gaming in general and if you were, in any way, involved in designing a game? Also, to me it seems you are new to the forums, as I explained what you ask a few times now.

Basicaly... if a feature do not serve a purpose, just skip it. To have it just for the sake of having it is pointless. Like... the inventory, it is there just to be there, we can not equip anything out of the inventory, we can not equip our squad. It is not even a limiting factor, as there is no limit to consumables, salvage and ressources, it became even worse, as BW raised inv limit from 60 to 100 with one of their early patches, renending another feature of the game (avp cryo to increase inv size) pretty much useless. On top of that the inv lacks proper filters and sorting that are mandatory today.

Merchants... again something that is just in the game for having a feature in the game. With enugh weapons, mods, consumables droping, and crafting even better, on top of that all available, weapons renders merchants useless. The whole economy in the game is screwed and pointless, I have 100k credits and nothing to buy because.... well what to buy? Mods? Drop. Weapons? I can craft better. Armor? I can craft better. Augments? Well disassemble your old weapon/armor and you get the augments back and they drop. Nomad paints? For what, I use one Nomad paint and the others can be actualy mission rewards.

Crafting.... basic concept nice, lacks in execution and development. It lacks proper filters and the worthwhile touch that DAI had.

AVP.... again nice but then? I get some passive "buffs", and? Not one is worthwhile. How about more colonists rund through our outposts as more and more are awakened? Underdeveloped. Or why do I have to visit the Tempest every 45min to collect my rewards? On top of that, this damn ship takes off everytime, why cant I just board the Tempest and I decide when to take off?

Outposts... yah there again, it started good with Eos, then it became nothing. Why cant we choose science/military for each outpost? Why dont the outpost do something instead of just existing? Like groving?

MEA got a ton of features and good ideas and everything is just a basic idea.

The factial expressions and animations are least of my worries.

At this point, I don't care one way or the other.

I want GOOD RPGs.  the setting doesn't matter.

I do...but I don't think I want more Andromeda.

The setting is just not engaging to me. The kett is a bland enemy, the Angarans are a bland species, the squadmates are bland...dudebro Ryder, meh.

I say let Andromeda be the spin-off that it feels like and give us more in the good old Milky Way. There are so many more things we could do there. Just seems like a colossal waste to build up a huge mythos and say fuggitall.

Like what?

Honest question.  The Reapers seriously fucked shit up in the MW.  Other than "rebuild", what is there to do?

Not me.



Bioware has stated that they wont pick a "canon" ending. If they do, then a lot of things become possible.


Traveling between star systems in a cluster has never been hard in ME. Travelling between clusters has always required a relay, as we see in the MET.


I have no interest in a game based on the First Contact War, as I already know how it ends. That said, I certainly see that some people might be interested in that scenario.

I think we'll just have to wait and see.  

Well, that's just an artifact of the way the primary relays were set up. Clusters aren't actually a thing except for that.

Actually, the ME2 map implies that Omega cluster is close enough to a batarian cluster to transit between them without using a relay.
