More Mass Effect seems inevitable.
It's an established IP and that means money.
If any sort of DLC arrives before N7 Day, that says to me that they are supporting the Andromeda setting and that a sequel will follow through on that (though perhaps not quickly)
If we hear squat by then, then some kind of prequel or even a reboot would be possible, but again not quickly.
2021 at the earliest (guess).

Eh, no.  ME:A2 should take place soon after ME:A and revolve around Ryder and his/her crew. There are far to many story threads left hanging loose to just jump forward and start over... again. /thread  You WANT Ryder in MEA2 to tie up loose ends but you dont NEED Ryder to do that. Bioware could use a comic series or a novel to create a canon resolution to what happened, similar to the Revan novel. Or they could go the KOTOR 2 route and have a NPC ask us questions on what happened to Ryder and we fill in the blanks from there. I think Ryder is synonymous with the bad perception of MEA. It will not be the end of the world if Ryder isnt the hero again. |

You WANT Ryder in MEA2 to tie up loose ends but you dont NEED Ryder to do that. Bioware could use a comic series or a novel to create a canon resolution to what happened, similar to the Revan novel. If that were to happen I wouldn't buy it. I would be SOL. I rather have the loose ends answered in a dlc. If not, I doubt I would care if those loose ends are tied up in a sequel that is released in 4, 5 or 6 years. |

I'm not really keen on comics and novel external content from the games as it is, so I definitely wouldn't want the protag to get "resolved" in one. Fuck that Revan guy, whoever he is/was. |

My main issue with the term 'apologist' is that although it's a fairly weak insult it's also fairly meaningless. I like vanilla ice cream, does that make me an apologist for vanilla ice cream? (many consider it bland and not up there with chocolate or strawberry, but I like it...) My favorite is vanilla bean. |

Actually I do, but I also know what context is something you clearly don't know anything about or you just refuse to understand. You clearly don't - or you wouldn't have mentioned "apologist" and "nazi" together. Let's just drop it and move on. If you were to put the words together, would you go with Nazologist, or Apologazi? |

I mean both searching for weapon upgrades and searching for weapons. Deus ex did this and that game is considered by a lot of people to be one of the greatest if not the greatest game ever made. Yeah but back then random enemies and all that weren't really a thing. I mean today most likely the weapon you need would be swarming with bad guys. Sorry to bring this up again, I almost forgot, Demon's Souls and Dark Souls both do this. (Same thing probably goes with Bloodborne, haven't played it as I don't own a PS4) |

(many consider it bland and not up there with chocolate or strawberry, but I like it...) My favorite is vanilla bean. Chocolate and peanut butter, or chocolate and mint. (Drools) Regardless, we all have our opinions, I don't think I've ever used the word apologist to describe someone. I view the word as an insult. |

Have a great rest of your day, anonymous internet troll, you certainly earned it.  @scepsis it's worth noting that for all of suikoden's 1,390 posts (at current count), the vast majority of which are generally repeating the same three topics: 1) ME:A was a financial failure 2) ME:A was a critical failure (and he himself gives it a personal rating of 4/10) 3) It's so bad EA have canned the game and will never release DLC for it He has only ever played the gated ten hour preview released in March, before the game came out. Make of that what you will. I'm curious, didn't Jason Schreier say something among the lines of 2. or 3. when it came to his articles talking about Andromeda, the one's about i being on ice and whatnot? |

For the first big story DLC, pretty much anywhere around 4-6 months. Mass Effect 1: November 20, 2007 Bring Down the Sky: March 10, 2008 Time Elapsed = ~ 3 months, 22 days Mass Effect 2: January 26, 2010 Overlord: June 15, 2010 Time Elapsed = ~ 4 months, 21 days Mass Effect 3: March 6, 2012 Leviathan: August 28, 2012 Time Elapsed = ~ 5 months, 24 days Dragon Age: Origins: November 3, 2009 Darkspawn Chronicles: May 18, 2010 Time Elapsed = ~ 6 months, 15 days Dragon Age 2: March 8, 2011 Legacy: July 26, 2011 Time Elapsed = ~ 4 months, 19 days Dragon Age: Inquisition: November 18, 2014 Jaws of Hakkon: March 24, 2015 Time Elapsed = ~ 4 months, 6 days Someone calculated the average time between releases(though I can't remember if they used Darkspawn Chronicles or Return to Ostagar which came out much sooner as DAO's first big DLC) and for Mass Effect: Andromeda the average came to at the very end of July, so we are still well within that window. After all Mass Effect 3 came out two weeks earlier than Mass Effect: Andromeda and yet it still had three weeks from now to go before its first big DLC. Granted it was delayed for the Extended Cut, but one can argue the patches for MEA did the same thing. |

Sure, the reason for citing N7 Day is that if that date arrives without DLC's then we can certainly put the hashtags away... August 21st to September 21st seems most likely, but November 8th is when my hope is abandoned. |
