Unpopular opinions

That's something.

I've been seeing this a lot lately.

Unpopular opinion: There never was any MEA Quarian DLC planned and Mass Effect Andromeda: Annihilation is not a replacement for it (which people would know if they had read it).

Also, MEA: Annihilation is a great companion piece to the Covid-19 era...

Because it was going to be addressed in the sequel. Same reason why so many things in ME1 and ME2 were left hanging and heavily hinted despite never getting DLC for it in those games.

Because they might still do a sequel, or planned to at that point.
I agree that they need to be more open with what there plan is for the future, but with how far the next game is honestly I doubt they themselves know.

The guy did say one more story. That is a hint Shepard would have been back for another game. If what the guy says is only for dlc, then why does he say that when all dlc have been completed?

As far as the book thing. I have no interest in that. How many people bought the books/comics vs the people who bought the game(s)?

Citadel DLC makes me feel grief, not joy or happiness. It's a reminder that the plot vanished and all that's left is the shell of endearing characters that I do love, but now they're isolated into something that has no relevance to the actual universe or its realism... the stuff that inspired me to like Mass Effect.

It was too little, too late, but it is good. I just don't think it's this perfect resolution or even a perfect fix. And replaying ME3 now near the end, man, there's so much stuff where even as a remaster, I would've said "fix it" (like the husk-console refugee thing on Sanctuary).

Now you have this high-polished graphical update for the latest consoles and an all-new audience for Mass Effect and they still have to go through the obvious feeling that ME3 was rushed to the finish line the closer they get to it, and confusedly play FRIENDS-DLC in the middle of the serious narrative, not realizing that it was made a whole year after the ending debacle to give a bit of an uplifting mood and a swan-song to the cast -- the only good thing that remained in the IP.

But you can send him back to the ship. Just don't take him on your squad and that means during that mission he's stuck on the Normandy. 

Fair, but then I've still got a mad Krogan on my ship who I let push a shotgun in my face. If you talk to him after Virmire I think he comes around, but you don't have any way of knowing that at the time.

I know all of this. My unpopular opinion remains that it's irresponsible to talk Wrex down on Virmire. Shep doesn't have the luxury of metagaming and needs to know that she's got control of her crew. Allowing a crew member to stick a gun in her face with zero repercussions is irresponsible. That's why I posted this in Unpopular Opinions.
