What should BioWare do now with Mass Effect?

I'd say the franchise needs to rest for a bit, but I don't think any amount of time off would be long enough for people to get over MEA. And even if after a number of years they decided to make another mass effect game I don't know how I'd feel about it, personally. Anything set in the MW would just seem like an attempt to cover up Andromeda and erase mistakes, but an Andromeda sequel would have to be utterly flawless in order to be successful.

Needless to say, I'm very conflicted. Part of me thinks they should just let mass effect officially die, while another part wants them to try to continue.

No I agree, it totally was. Bioware realized they couldn't make another game in the MW without having to justify the ME3 endings and make one of them canon, so they took the easy way out and went to another galaxy all together. Andromeda had a lot of potential, but in the end they made more mistakes in trying to cover up their initial mistakes. So if they went and returned to the MW again, I feel like history would be doomed to repeat itself and I'd rather not see them start having to backtrack and try to right their wrongs after every single game. I'm thinking very pessimistically at this point, since the last time I tried to be optimistic it didn't go very well.

I know I would prefer a sequel but for that to be even remotely realistic it needs to happen sometime in the next 3 years, 4 max (and that probably won't happen with Anthem and Dragon Age in the works already). What I think will happen however, is that they'll shelve Mass Effect for at least that amount of time. Maybe they'll release a remastered edition of the ME trilogy in the meantime, then reboot the series again. This being EA, they might go full online multiplayer on us. That would really spell the end for ME.

Reboot. Go back to the Milky Way, back to the stylistic roots, back to the old themes and atmosphere. I'm a proponent of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The only thing that was broke about the ME Trilogy was the ending to the third game. Until that happened, complaints were few and far in between. Take advantage of that. Take what worked and apply it to make another game. Whether it's a sequel to ME3 or something else entirely, it doesn't matter. Andromeda was one attempt. It doesn't need to be the only attempt. Let's try something a little different and see where it goes.

I might be a bit stupid or something, but I don't care about how much money the suits made. What I do care, is good games/creations, that are made with care, love, passion and imagination.

I kinda have a hard time believing that, but people wanted you to die? Really? Sounds like you are exaggerating quite a bit. I've witnessed some of your comments, and I've noticed that you are the one that was wishing bad things to people. 

I would like to ask you not to take things so personal. It has nothing to do with you. What happened with the Mass Effect franchise was very unfortunate, and I'm talking about how the game (andromeda) turned out. Everything that happened after was a simple cause and effect. A cosmic balance.

Also, try to be more loving and forgiving. Be the one you want to see in others. 

For me it was the best as it developed the universe and plot for all the 3 games.
I know the game is dated on graphics and combat is not as good as the other 2 Mass Effect games but there was atmosphere with great music and story.

They should remaster the trilogy and then leave the series alone.

First Contact War Prequel. Seems ripe with possibility, and back in the Milky Way.  

Probably take 3-4 years till we get another ME game though.

Worse thing they can do is a full reboot. This fandom, at large, has already demonstrated a clear inability to sit through the necessary world building required for the start of a franchise or a new story.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I wouldn't call this next statement entirely sympathetic, but I feel that several or even a lot of people in the Bioware community are pretty good about holding grudges, at this point, as you said, it seems no matter what happens, a bunch of people would be pissed. To me, that's the problem with such a fervent fanbase.

Remaster of the Original Trilogy. And maybe if we're lucky a ME3 ending rewrite, or atleast make destroy the canon.

Let old ghosts rest.
