Now that Andromeda made the last trilogy irrelevant

How did Andromeda make the trilogy irrelevant?

Its so far in tne future that none of the original characters would be around if they went back to the Milky Way. So it doesnt matter if Shepard lives or dies.

Why does the trilogy have to carry over into Andromeda anyways? It was a trilogy, and ME3 was the final game.

I hear ya there, but file for the "breath" scene (high EMS Destroy) is listed as Shepard_lives. I think that little quick scene and the LI's reluctance to put Shepard's plaque on the wall is as good as it's going to get from the ME team.

My personal opinion is that, if they do a remaster, they should just fix what bugs they can and clean up the graphics. It's probably for the best if they don't add anything to the story, especially the ending. Frankly, it could create another ME trilogy shitstorm and BW is pretty done with it.

I'm not trying to slam on your idea, but I don't see it happening.

Besides, the Stargazer did say he would tell one more Shepard story.

I don't think Andromeda could make MET irrelevant if it tried. Whatever happened still happened. It's just that Ryder and Co. are too far removed from those events in time and space for it to have an impact. I'd be honestly surprised if Andromeda makes people feel as deeply about Ryder as it MET did with Shepard. If BW can't accomplish that then MET stays very relevant.

I can almost guarantee that there will never be an official remake with a changed main story (including the ending). The MET stands as it does, for better or worse, and as much as I've criticized parts of it, especially ME3, I prefer it that way. The Mass Effect trilogy may not be a very good work with regard to storytelling, but it is finished and complete. It is history. Any changed story would be a different story, and if that's so, why not make a more different story.

Also, I don't get this obsession with Shepard. You may or may not like them, but their story is done. Finished. History. Leave it be, nothing will come of it. Someone may remaster the games in 10 or 15 years with an unchanged main story, in a time when the original games appear as old as the original Baldur's Gate feels today, but that's all you can expect, if that.

I think he was talking to the kid, not to us. 

The only reasonable expectation for a remake would be a remastered, improved graphics and maybe some bug fixes. Even that I don't find likely.

Frankly, I don't think it's worth it for Bioware to dredge up all that happened with the ME3 ending fiasco when they could be focusing on creating new games that don't repeat past mistakes.

True.

ME3 made the trilogy irrelevant.

QECs, that's why. Though I fully expect that Bioware will conveniently forget to outfit the most advanced fleet in the galaxy that will be traveling to another galaxy with the only real-time communication devices in existence. Because if they did that, the Milky Way would contact the crews of the Arks to tell them they won the war, to take an unfathomably large burden off of them. "Hey, you're no longer out last hope for survival, don't worry." Or, the Arks would contact the Milky Way after arriving. "Hey, we got here safe, if you're still out there."

There's no excuse not to go over what happened during the war, or hell, how the current technological and political climate is in the Milky Way, hundreds of years later. But they still won't. In fact, if they did that, they'd also have to turn the ME:A trilogy(?) into a high-scifi world, because the Milky Way would forward them data on vastly improved tech. This is why I've always hated Andromeda as a setting. The game might even be good, but frankly: It makes no sense.

As has been said, there is an ending where Shepard lives. It's even the ending that requires the most EMS. It's incredibly anticlimactic and doesn't provide even a modicum of closure, but it's there

What do you mean "personally"? I think that's the wrong word. Liking or not liking something has nothing to do with that.

Not if this new story occurs because of the old story, like if the mission is a contingency plan for the Reaper invasion.
