BioWare should have delayed MEA till N7 Day 2017

No doubt had MEA been released much later on in 2017, Bioware would have had the time to iron a big percentage of the really bad quality animations, bugs, glitches and stuttering that gave the ammunition for all those thousands of memes now spread all over the internet, as well as those really bad reviews, and the understandable frustration from true ME franchise fans, as well as the disproportionate hate the game had. As you mentioned, a later release could have helped to avoid the lower than expected game sales (though, I don't really know how well or how bad MEA sold to this date).

There are two things that, IMHO, a postponed release wouldn't have changed. Many of the complains about MEA don't have anything to do with the quality of the animations, neither the bugs, nor the glitches. Those features may be the ones that we can see on most of the memes because it's more basic stuff and is easier to make videos about it. There are many reviews that were very critic of a completely different aspect of MEA and, although very subjective, it can be found on most of the more in-depth reviews about the game. This other type of complains are related to the mediocre, uninspired general writing, bad pacing that gives the player a lack of sense of urgency, forgettable characters, and/or the quality of VA that it has been said to be all over the place. We can certainly agree or completely disagree with those complains but the truth is that no matter how much Bioware would had liked to take some extra months to improve the quality of the game, as compare to its undeniably unfinished shape at release date, they couldn't have changed much regarding this other type of issues, which in my opinion hurt sales as much as the bad general quality of the animations or the sheer amount of bugs and glitches.

I think they can be done well.  I just don't think Bioware has managed to crack that nut yet, and I kind of wish they'd stop trying. 

Let me amend my statement to say that I have yet to play an open world that I fully enjoyed. By their nature there is no sense of urgency and the focus is on exploration and not story. I'd prefer to play through a really good story than explore a beautiful 3D render.

I couldn't bring myself to use the mount much, because the summon mechanic and how it clashed with the party system put me off entirely. It was already difficult enough to really get a lot of party banter; anything that made it even harder was a no-no.

I would have gotten a kick out of Hawke being the Inquisitor, especially if the LI came with her. Izzy living it up in Skyhold with all the holy people and annoying Vivienne would be worth the price of admission.

I play on PC. *shrug*

The only time I used the horse is when I was completing a speedrun

That would be alright

I would also like Hawke to have another monologue like she did in DA2

with added hubris.

Sorry but this is kinda nonsense. Andromeda has improved on may levels than all other rprevious bioware games:
Movement is top notch.
Jumping feels accurate and natural.
Combat is very fluid.
Nomad driving and 2wd/4wd is neat.

I prefer ME:A to DA:I.
I just lost the will to live with DA:I, shame because I really liked some of the characters, but that gameplay... ugh.

The Angara will make great allies..

Randomly happens on the nexus (well pre 1.09).

Lol. I didn't mind Indira Varma as Viv but Sloane annoyed the hell out of me. 

Three guesses who I didn't save in that scene.

Random bit of trivia - the same lass plays Ellaria Sand in Game of Thrones (Oberyn's crumpet)
