Also you are greatly underestimating potential baby boom explosion that happen. It is possible for Milky Way species for population to explode into millions after a century, with the exception of Krogan( there's only around 1,000 of them in Andromeda, plus Genophage) and Asari( 100 year old Asari are basically in their late-teens, so raising up Asari kids is long and difficult). About the Krogan, not really. In ME3 Edi mentions that a Krogan female can lay up to 1000 eggs a year. Old School genophage has a viability rate for those eggs of 0,1, which means that one out of that ideal thousand would survive. Now, in MEA, Kesh mentions that a mix of mutation and genetic therapy upped the Krogan birthrate viability to 4%. Thast means that out of that 1000 eggs, 40 would hatch. Now, for the sake of argument, let's say that those 1000 krogans make up 500 couples. Each of those couples could make up to 40 baby krogans a year. Let's cut that in half "because reasons" (say, scarcity of resources or whatever), and say that each krogan couple fathers 20 babies a year. In 2 years, Krogan would have matched the whole population of the Hyperion. In 20 years. there would be 200.00 krogans. And when we get to whatever age these baby krogan reach sexual maturity (20? a 100? IDK) their population would probably spur to millions. There's going to be a need for a lot more space in andromeda...

Remaster sounds good for next-gen but please not a reboot of the MET. I don't think I could deal without the original voices, especially Meer or Hale... I probably wouldn't buy it. The cognitive dissonance would be too much. I don't think they would reboot the trilogy though. Maybe they would give us a Shepard prequel like with Tomb Raider, though I wish they would just continue forward with a new story or just drop the thing. I'm not into prequels and reboots/remakes of movies and games unless they bring something really new and inspired (i.e., not just better graphics or some story revision).

There's going to be a need for a lot more space in andromeda... Few issues. Only half of Krogans live in New Tuchanka colony and only New Tuchanka has needs to raise Krogan kids. As well unknown number of Krogans are in fact children, as we are not allowed to enter family quarters. Also it was mentioned by a Salarian doctor and two Krogan couple that there are difficulties to even make female Krogan pregnant, simply due to biological reflex to suppress reproduction. As body realizes current situation is not good enough to have many babies yet. So Krogans will need more resources and space before they can multiply so fast.

Pick canon outcomes and/or handwave away the differences that need to be handled. With the next Mass Effect game probably not coming out until a decade after ME3, I think that resistance to that sort of thing will have waned. edit: Alternatively, we could try Mass Effect: Large Magellanic Cloud Handwaving and canonization typically have different constituencies, which is part of the problem. Have you a preference? There's also the massive retcon option. Even less respectful of our choices than the other two, but it has a constituency among p,ayers who hated those choices. And I get that ME:LMC is a joke, but it does raise the question of what problem we think we're trying to solve. I'd prefer they picked a canon and went with it, but I would be OK with handwaving if they thought it would get more people on board. I don't think its going to happen, but I think you could make a very good game set during the reaper war, focused on a smaller scale personal story of just trying to stay alive and get people to safety.

Reboot - remaster. Do you really want to play the old shit over and over again? How about something fresh for a change?

Honestly, the fist thing is to find out if EA has any interest in even giving us a DLC for Andromeda. If not, then the franchise is truly dead because to reboot/remake 3 games costs a lot more than a DLC and if EA thinks there isn't enough profit in this for a DLC, they are most certainly not going to risk an investment to rewrite the MET story to suit the malcontents who have been already harping on them about it for 5 long years. The "might" repeat "might" (and I personally think it's unlikely) invest a singnificantly smaller amount in 10 years or so into remastering the old series unchanged - graphics and sound to make it "adaptable" to whatever system is out then... and that would be it
The "anti-fans" have thrown the baby out with the bathwater guys. ME:A was a one-time chance to get behind something Mass Effect in a positive way. To adopt a new team, forgive them a few mistakes and give them some time to develop and learn about making this franchise... and maybe eventually you would have gotten a reboot out of them. The support didn't happen though... just more determination to tell EA that anything other than a remake of ME3 with different endings (and the ending each one of them specifically has in mind) just wasn't going to go anywhere with that vocal group. No conspiracy... just a bunch of stubborn, pig-headed people set on getting their own way. So, the criticism of ME:A went waaay over the top and EA got the message... there's no positive support for the Mass Effect franchise... period.
So, IF it is shelved and there is no DLC... you've got your answer... There will be no reboot of the old Trilogy either... likely ever... because everything is moving towards online games anyways and EA just now thinks that there is no money in SP RPGs for them... or more correctly, that there is much more money in it for them by following the trend towards online games.

It probably depends on how well Anthem does. If Anthem is a massive hit, rest in peace Mass Effect. It will be a very long time if ever before there is another Mass Effect game. Edmonton will have enough on it's plate with rolling out updates for the multiplayer title and simultaneously helming the Dragon Age series. Austin has SWTOR and Montreal will probably never again touch another Bioware game outside of a support role.
If one of Bioware's two RPG series had to be shelved I'd much rather it was Dragon Age. The better series got shunted over to the untested studio to make room for Anthem however, and here we are.

My bottom line here is that Mass Effect and Bioware need a POSITIVE show of support to help convince EA to give ANY of it another try. First step is the DLC issue for ME:A... get behind it just to show them that there is still some positive interest in this franchise... or else, any hope of reboot will also be totally dead. This franchise as a whole is on very thin ice due to all the negativity it has seen over the past several years. From EA's perspective... it chews through staff morale like a meat grinder. They aren't going to "risk" throwing any more people to us "dogs" without some clear indication that there's money to be made here.

I polled for sequel, but I do have fears it will be ditched. I personally have no appetite for another reboot, we just did that and there are really interesting plots threads that need addressing, if they are just left dangling, why would I bother to buy into another reboot which might just deliver the same. As for a re-make of the OT, not even a tiny bit interested in that, same goes for a remaster.

This entire thread about how people can't tolerate or even accept the success of Andromeda or simply the idea of any Mass Effect game that isn't exactly what they want merely existing would be hilarious if not for the fact that my life, fans' lives, and the devs' lives would be much better without people who care way too much about wanting things other people enjoy and anticipate to not exist out of pure selfishness.

Yeah I agree I think we need to really get behind the DLC and su8pport it if were going to asve this series at the end of the day that's what for me saved Dragon Age at the end of the day when DA2 didn't quite hit the mark. We need to hope we can do the same with Andromeda. The last thing I want Bioware to do is scrap both the ME and DA series as I have absolutely no interst in MMO's and i fthat's the direction Bioware end up goin then for me we'll just have to part company as I won' t be interested any more. I'm here because both the DA and ME games make great SP RPG's and I love the games. I have no interest in MMO's

Andromeda was a mistake. They sacrificed logic and made a huge retcon and added nothing to the series. I don't want to see Mass Effect dead though, so hopefully a reboot. No they didn't. I don't see any retcons or logic leaps. No more than the OR anyway. It's a sci fi space opera logic doesn't apply. And I don't see any retcons.

Farewell, Mass Effect. You son of a b!tch. I didn't leave you. You left me. And then when you went quiet, it felt like I should live with that decision, and I have. You're not coming back. Now, it's time for me to go. Into the inevitable.

Much as I'd like to think ME will be left to rest in peace, or at least get a proper reboot, I think Bioware is going to double down on Andromeda eventually.

A little over 3 months and it's marked down to $20. Lol, if you fanboys can't face reality and want to be part of a circle jerk among yourselves go ahead. The game was a massive disappointment.

Throw in your opinions No. Neither should we get a sequel. They had 5 years and they fucked it up. At least I still have the trilogy for the memories.
